Hold your breath for this one – it's the World's Highest Tennis Court! The Burj Al Arab’s impressive court was unfortunately only temporary, but still, imagine playing tennis leagues above the water with Dubai's skyline as your backdrop. Setup in 2005 on the hotel’s helipad, the iconic court was created for a publicity game between Roger Federer and Andre Agassi. The hotel, designed by British architect Rob Wright, sits on an artificial island about 900 feet off the coast of Jumeirah Beach. Floating 700 feet above the water, the lush circular court, dangling off the edge of Burj Al Arab’s rooftop, is every thrill seekers dream.

Aptly dubbed “paradise in paradise,” playing tennis under the lush palms of Peter Island is only one of the resort’s splendid amenities. With a swimming pool, spa, volleyball and basketball courts, and yoga in a Tranquility Garden, guests are certain to indulge their minds, bodies, and souls while staying on the island. After a breezy match in the sun, visitors can feast on a five course wine dinner or head to Drake’s Lounge and order a Caribbean Martini — a craft cocktail made with fresh juices, coconut rum, vanilla vodka and a dash of grenadine. Sounds like a perfectly balanced oasis.
