Overview
The World Islands are an archipelago master-planned to mirror the world's continents. A collection of man-made islands that form a singular expression of exclusivity, they are modern in design yet timeless in appeal. This innovative development occupies a place beyond imagination—a collection of private islands where an unprecedented opportunity can be found that is almost as rare as the ambition required to envision it. This remarkable artificial archipelago has added nearly 232 kilometres of beachfront to Dubai’s coastline and offers unique opportunities for the development of exclusive leisure and residential projects.
