A shimmering gold-and-glass private island is coming to Abu Dhabi as Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts joins forces with Eagle Hills to launch a luxury development with a targeted opening in 2030.

The project will feature 60 hotel rooms and suites, 30 beachfront villas, and 90 private mansions, blending Italian design with Middle Eastern aesthetics in what the brand calls its most ambitious development to date.

Nestled on a private island, it’s characterised by its horse-shoe-shape and boasting views of the open sea and the majestic Qasr Al Watan.

A paradise amidst the city

“It’s a natural paradise in the middle of a global city,” Bvlgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Gulf News in an interview.
