DUBAI’S MOST EXCLUSIVE TOWER
Back in 2014, Federer realised he needed his own property in Dubai.
He would spend most winters using the outstanding facilities on offer in the Middle East when it was freezing in Switzerland, where he has two homes.
So he bought a presidential penthouse in Le Reve (which translates to ‘The Dream’ in French).

Known as Dubai’s most exclusive tower, it overlooks the stunning marina that’s filled with yachts worth hundreds of millions.
Former Formula One star Fernando Alonso is also said to own an apartment in the 210m, 50-storey building that offers incredible views of the ocean, Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah.
“I remember it was brutally hot, I think like 39 Celsius every day. But I had a good time practising, it was peace and quiet and we kind of enjoyed it here,” Federer once said.
“I was like, ‘You know, I think this works well for practice and leisure’. The next thing I knew, I had an apartment.”
