New Private Island Project in Dubai
A Dubai-based investment company is moving ahead with plans to develop a luxury private island just off the coast of Jumeirah, marking a significant addition to the city’s ever-expanding landscape of high-end real estate and hospitality. The development, known as Naïa Island Dubai, will host the region’s first Cheval Blanc maison - a brand known globally for its ultra-luxury accommodations.
The project is being led by Shamal Holding, a diversified investment firm headquartered in Dubai. According to the company, the Cheval Blanc maison will comprise a collection of suites and private villas, each offering its own beachfront access - a hallmark of the brand’s exclusive approach to hospitality.
Strategically located off the Jumeirah shoreline and directly linked to Dubai’s primary road networks, the island is being designed as a master-planned resort destination. The layout emphasizes open green space and natural coastal features, according to information released by the developer.
“This marks a defining chapter in our vision to create meaningful experiences,” said Abdulla Binhabtoor, CEO of Shamal Holding. “It is an exciting step forward for Shamal as we continue to curate pioneering firsts that reinforce Dubai’s position as a global benchmark for exceptional, world-class living.”
While full-scale construction has not yet begun, early works are underway. Once completed, Naïa Island Dubai is expected to emerge as one of the most exclusive addresses along the region’s coastline.
