Dubai’s Next Ultra-Luxury Destination: Naïa Island

Dubai’s Next Ultra-Luxury Destination: Naïa Island

Dubai’s skyline and coastline are no strangers to bold, world-class developments — from Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters to the World Islands and the soon-to-rise Palm Jebel Ali. Now, a stunning new name is joining the list: Naïa Island, a visionary waterfront destination by Shamal Holding.

Set in the pristine waters off Jumeirah Beachfront, between Umm Suqeim and Jumeirah 3, Naïa Island is poised to redefine exclusive living in the city. This low-rise, luxury-focused island will be home to the region’s first Cheval Blanc Maison — an exceptional collection of private villas, residences, and suites that blend understated elegance with signature Dubai grandeur.

An Exclusive Haven by the Sea

The development will offer a limited number of branded beachfront residences and estate plots, each with direct private beach access. Lush landscaped spaces, uninterrupted sea views, and carefully curated architecture will create a serene and sophisticated environment. While the exact designs of the villas remain under wraps, early visuals suggest a commitment to sleek modernism infused with natural textures and open-plan luxury.

In true island style, buildings will be kept low-rise, preserving panoramic views of Dubai’s landmarks from every corner of the development — from the iconic Burj Al Arab to the dazzling city skyline.

More Than Just a Home

Naïa Island is set to become one of Dubai’s most desirable addresses, offering not just residences, but a lifestyle defined by privacy, prestige, and natural beauty. While it’s not yet confirmed if the island will feature restaurants or beach clubs, the emphasis is on ultra-luxurious living spaces surrounded by the calming rhythm of the sea.

A Vision for Exceptional Living

Early works have already begun, though the official completion date has yet to be announced. For Shamal Holding, this project represents a bold new chapter. As CEO Abdulla Binhabtoor explains:

“This marks a defining chapter in our vision to create meaningful experiences, and 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.
Naïa Island Dubai offers an enduring address, one that invites presence and lives beautifully over time.”

With its prime location, world-class design partnerships, and exclusive offering of branded beachfront villas, Naïa Island is set to become a crown jewel in Dubai’s real estate portfolio — a destination where nature, luxury, and innovation meet.
