Dubai to Develop Luxury Island Right Next to Burj Al Arab
Dubai is set to redefine luxury living once again with the announcement of Naia Island, a new opulent island development located right next to the iconic Burj Al Arab. Revealed on Wednesday, August 6, this ambitious project is part of the emirate's ongoing vision to solidify its position as a global leader in high-end real estate and tourism.
Naia Island will be developed by Shamal Holding in partnership with the world-renowned luxury hospitality brand Cheval Blanc.
The project is already under construction and is expected to be completed by 2029. Once finished, the island will feature an exclusive range of accommodations, including 30 hotel suites, 40 private pool villas, and a selection of estate plots offering private beach access. These residences will be part of the Cheval Blanc Maison, a name synonymous with refined living and exceptional service.
Strategically positioned along Jumeirah's coastline, the island will offer easy connectivity to Dubai's major roads while maintaining a sense of seclusion and prestige. According to Abdulla Binhabtoor, Chief Portfolio Management Officer at Shamal Holding, the development represents a defining chapter in luxury development and is poised to set a new benchmark in global hospitality and real estate. The project is not just about creating a beautiful destination, but about curating a one-of-a-kind lifestyle experience for residents and guests alike.
Naia Island also aligns with Dubai's broader development goals under the Dubai 2030 vision. The emirate continues to invest heavily in world-class residential and tourism infrastructure, positioning itself as a magnet for high-net-worth individuals and discerning travelers. The luxury island complements other forward-thinking projects, including sustainable eco-tourism destinations such as the Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary, reinforcing Dubai's commitment to innovation, luxury, and environmental consciousness.
