Actress Lindsay Lohan and her lesbian DJ partner Samantha Ronson have been house hunting in the glitzy United Arab Emirates paradise of Dubai in a bid to beat the cameras.

The pair reportedly fell in love with glamorous Palm Island resort after Ronson performed at the nearby luxurious Atlantis Hotel last year, according to British tabloid the Daily Mirror.

And the Mean Girls star is eager to capitalise on a lack of paparazzi in the Middle-Eastern state by snapping up a lavish $2.18 million pad.

A source tells the publication, "Lindsay and Sam loved the tacky glitziness of Dubai. There is so much money and opulence out there it really impressed Lindsay - she can be quite materialistic like that. Despite her fair skin, Lindsay loves the beach and sunshine.

"And with the property market over there probably the only place where there still seems to be a boom, she thinks it will be a wise investment.

"There isn't as much paparazzi either - although that's sure to change once Lindsay and Sam become regulars on the scene."

However, the pair will need to keep their romance quiet if they do move to Dubai as homosexuality is still illegal in the country.
