Dubai is set to welcome a new private island escape with a maison featuring 30 suites and 40 private pool villas. Dubai-based investment firm Shamal Holding announced the new project in partnership with Cheval Blanc, marking the hospitality brand’s debut maison in the region.
UAE residents will also get the chance to own a limited number of branded beachfront residences, with seamless access to the full suite of Cheval Blanc services.
Opening in 2029, the project will be set within a preserved coastal landscape and surrounded by the Arabian Gulf.
The retreat will offer personalised wellness rituals and elevated dining journeys.
The spaces will honour the island’s natural setting while elevating the experience of modern luxury.
This development forms part of Cheval Blanc’s selective international expansion strategy with the ambition to create distinctive destinations. It also marks a step forward for Shamal as it continues to curate and develop exciting firsts for the region.
