These exclusive summerhouses, which include seven royal villas named after the seven emirates, offer the best of both worlds.

You get the privacy of secluded surroundings as well as access to the rest of the Madinat’s extensive facilities. With one pool to every three villas and 24-hour butler services, the palatial villas are wonderfully elegant. Assuming you can stretch to the hefty price tag, the two-storied quarters with their lush, intimate settings and intricately landscaped gardens will excite even the most blasé of holidaymakers.
