Unique Freestanding Bath For Each Villa.

When it comes to Dubai, I suppose ‘understated’ is not a word you would associate with the buildings and lifestyle here. However, if you were looking to find an amazing freestanding bath, this is surely one of the first places you would start. There is a lot of opulent houses on Palm Jumeriah, one of Dubai's man-made archipelagos, so it is only right that one of its newest developments should take extravagance to an entirely new level. We all have the right to dream, and for most of us, that will be as far as we get when it comes to these new homes being built here at the XXII Carat. Anticipated to be concluded by the end of the year, these are quite possible some of the most magnificent houses in the world.

You Want A Freestanding Bath Sir?

Obviously, the thing that caught our eye here at Serene Bathrooms was the freestanding baths. We thought we had seen it all in the bathroom world, and then we saw these….. These freestanding baths are made by an Italian company called Binaldi. This company specializes in unique bathroom products manufactured entirely from Rock and have manufactured these as part of a range called “Jewels for the Home”. Appointed with the mandate to provide the freestanding baths for these houses, they have come up with something suitably extravagant for those that enjoy the wealth to purchase these properties. With the material transported as raw stone to the properties, the baths are then carved out by expert craftsmen to ensure each property has a completely unique freestanding bath. Some of the villas will even feature a bath carved from a piece of 10-ton Amazonian rock crystal, a unique rock found only in South America. One of these pieces of rock has recently been sold to celebrity Tamara Ecclestone for $1,000,000 (£780,000).

House-Hunting In Dubai

Not everyone may take delight in using a $1 million freestanding bath made entirely of rock crystal, however, we think that if you are house-hunting in Dubai, then you probably will. The housing complex is being built by specialist Villa developers - The Forum Group. These amazing properties are being offered in the marketplace for between £8.5million and £19 million. Despite a competitive marketplace in Dubai, the group has already sold over 40 per cent of the Villa development, while construction is still underway, showing that the market is still strong in Dubai, despite recent turbulent financial times around the world. If you’re looking to invest, then this may well be the place to go.
