About The World Islands

The World Islands is a man-made archipelago formed in the shape of the world map. It consists of 300 individual isles located about 4 kilometers away from the coast of Dubai. They are found in groups and are surrounded by a 27-kilometer breakwater. The project developer is Nakheel Properties, one of the largest property developers in Dubai. The company also owns significant projects of the emirate such as the Palm Jumeirah, Al Furjan, and others.

In March 2022, Paramount Global hinted at considering this man-made archipelago as the place for the construction of its luxurious Nickelodeon resort.

Real estate in The World Islands

The archipelago’s islands got their names from different countries in the world:

  • Germany includes 32 high-end villas built in the Bauhaus style, which combines German practicality, concise forms, and modern construction technologies. There are gorgeous infinity pools, snow-white sandy beaches, gardens with exotic plants, and a blue lagoon with seawater;
  • The Jordan project consists of 65 houses, a large beach club, a small boat lock, and a long sandy shore;
  • Lebanon has a large beach club, cabins for tourists, two private beaches, a beach volleyball area, and other facilities;
  • Main Europe will be a heart-shaped archipelago with six isles named after famous sights;
  • Sweden is a gated community with ultra-fancy five-story villas in the Swedish style. Each villa has a garden with access to the sandy coast;
  • Switzerland includes more than 100 lavish residences, a mountain with a spa, an ice cave, and other amenities;
  • The Floating Seahorses have floating three-level villas. The lower underwater level has panoramic windows through which you can observe marine life.
  • The Floating Venice is a resort with separate dwellings and Venetian-style residential apartments on the water. Coral was planted on the bottom so that one could admire these rare creatures of the sea through the transparent acrylic bottom of the swimming pool and the windows on the underground floors of the houses;
  • France, Italy, Monaco, South America, and Turkey are still under development.

The Heart of Europe is one of the key projects in the archipelago. It includes six isles with private villas, apartment complexes, hotels, floating residences, and shopping and entertainment facilities. The appearance and style of popular European cities will be replicated in the building architecture. It will have a wedding hotel, a street with artificial rain to maintain the perfect temperature and humidity, a vertical garden with 100,000 plants, and a tropical forest with exotic plant species and palm trees.

Trends in real estate sales in The World Islands

Islands in the shape of a world map are a popular sight in the UAE. This place attracts tourists due to both the location and the modern developments used in the construction of unusual living areas on the water.

The lifestyle created in the luxury villas and residential complexes of the new community is completely different from a classic beach holiday. Here, you can truly disconnect from the noise of the city and the hustle and bustle of the metropolis. You can silently relax on the seashore or spend time actively participating in various water sports.

The minimum cost of an isle residential unit is 900,000 AED. The price will depend on the property type and its area. Houses constructed using modern technological solutions are highly sought after. For example, in The Floating Venice community, a luxury villa with an area of 65 m² will cost 3,000,000 AED, while in the Sweden community, magnificent multi-story mansions will start at 80,000,000 AED.

Despite the relatively high prices for villas and apartments, making real estate investments in Dubai in this popular and tourist-friendly place will bring a return.
