Dubai real estate developer’s Limitless is to create, own and operate a $350 million, 10.5 hectare ultra luxury resort on a man made island 14 km from the Dubai coastline.
World Island Resort, on the north east perimeter of The World development, is the 10th project for Limitless and the latest addition to its global portfolio, currently worth more than $100 billion.
World Island Resort will comprise 53 villas and water homes. Among them, 23 privately owned villas, ranging from 650 to 820 sq m, are offered for sale by invitation. Each will have a beachfront location or sea frontage with a private jetty, summerhouse and mooring facilities, and will come with its own spa treatment room, swimming pool, rooftop garden with outdoor kitchen, landscaped ground level garden overlooking the sea and internal elevator. The villas will be serviced by the hotel and can be leased back to the hotel when they are not being used by their owners.
The luxury hotel, the first of several planned by Limitless, a Dubai World company, will focus on health, wellness, relaxation, world class cuisine and the arts. It will feature a 2,000 sq m spa; an amenity building including specialty restaurants, art galleries, auction rooms, conference facilities and libraries; and luxurious accommodation in 30 villas or water homes. At its heart will be a lagoon with water features and a social clubhouse. There will also be a reception suite on the Dubai mainland: residents will reach the island by a private boat.
The resort will be constructed in line with international sustainability and environmental standards.
Saeed Ahmed Saeed, CEO of Limitless, said, “World Island Resort will set a new global benchmark in the design and operation of luxury resorts. It is the flagship for Limitless’ waterfront hospitality developments and the launch pad for a range of high-end hotels we are planning in other waterfront and city locations.”
Construction will begin towards the end of this year, with completion in around two
years.
