The house
AddressA boutique fairway retreat
Low-rise clubhouse living replaces city towers, with just twenty-one rooms set directly against championship fairways and lakes.
“The low-slung white buildings and manicured emerald green course are a distinct departure from the sparkling high-rises just a short drive away.”
What it’s good at
Notable
A 265-acre championship golf estate with a floodlit academy course and poolside terrace.
Listed
Clubhouse interiors trimmed in soft green velvet, warm brass, and vintage golf photography.
What they say

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
This is Address Montgomerie, a human-scale palace on the south side of a town where skyscraper hotels are the norm.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The gated Emirates Hills estate encircles the grounds, keeping the property quiet just a short drive from the city high-rises.
The rooms
Private balconies look directly onto the fairways or courtyard, and spacious bathrooms hold deep freestanding tubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits on an elevated deck, looking straight across the palm trees to the eighteenth green.
The spa
Six treatment rooms host aromatherapy rituals, body scrubs, and sports massages beside warm stone feature walls.
Steam and plunge pools
Clubhouse locker rooms hold private steam rooms and tiled cold plunge pools softly illuminated by candlelight.
At the table
Nineteen serves Mediterranean dishes beside backlit wine racks, and Monty's occupies a glass conservatory facing the putting green.
How it began
Golfer Colin Montgomerie co-designed the championship course in 2002 as the sporting centerpiece of the Emirates Hills development.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
