Nakheel, a Dubai-based master developer, has unveiled a new vision for the Dubai Islands, redefining the waterfront living concept. Comprising five islands, with a total area of 17 square kilometers, and aligning with Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, Dubai Islands (formerly known as Deira Islands) will reinforce the emirate’s position as a global destination of choice for residents, visitors and investors.
Each island will boast an array of facilities, with innovative living experiences, cultural hubs, recreational sport beaches and beach clubs within easy reach of the city and airport.
The islands will be home to over 80 resorts and hotels, including luxury and wellness retreats, boutique, family and eco-conscious hotels, supporting Dubai’s ambition to boost the tourism and hospitality sector by increasing the number of hotel keys.
In addition, Dubai Islands will feature 20 kilometers of beaches, including a Blue Flag certified beach, approximately two square kilometers of parks, open spaces and golf courses overlooking the Arabian Gulf. A well-connected network of marinas, promenades and pathways for water and road transportation, as well as bike paths, will further support the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan to develop vibrant and healthy communities.
