The site will boast 1,800 beach villas, a luxury hotel and a marina.
The UAE has some of the world’s most famous islands – Palm Jumeirah, anyone? Now, Abu Dhabi is set to welcome a new $3.5 billion development, Ramhan Island. Located 20 minutes from the capital, it will feature 1,800 beach villas, 1,000 residences, a hotel and a marina.
Ramhan Island is being developed by Emaar founder, Mohamed Alabbar, through his private company Eagle Hills. If it’s an island life for you, then you’ll love the natural and untouched concept.
So far, we know that the development will include high-end shops and restaurants, alongside a luxury hotel and floating villas. The recently released images include Maldives-like beach villas located on the sea. Each of the eight villas boasts a different distinct design and range from 265 meters square to 700 meters square. Plus, there are properties spanning one and two stories with a slick, sophisticated design.
Alabbar told Arabian Business: “It’s a rare thing to live on a natural island, complete with a beach – everything being truly from nature, including dolphins, turtles and birds. This is a quality of life that has never been seen before, and it is what we will be delivering – I have been lucky enough to work on some unique projects over the years, but this is something truly special.”
Eagle Hills also recently announced the development of Alabbar, a $2.5 billion super yacht marina in the Mediterranean. The project is located on the Albanian coastline and will cover 80,000 square meters with shops, restaurants and entertainment.
Plus, there are a range of exciting megaprojects coming to the UAE. Palm Jebel Ali recently announced that it would be renamed and relaunched. Moon Dubai is keen to land on the island and create 500 new homes on the island. Projects also include Etihad Rail, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and SeaWorld Abu Dhabi.
