about The World Islands

The World Islands comprise an exclusive artificial archipelago off Dubai, with three hundred islands arranged as a world map and organised across seven continental residential themes.

Created by Nakheel Properties, the archipelago's islands are individually named after countries and landmarks from around the world. Each is situated within one of seven continental sets, together spanning more than two hundred kilometres of shoreline. The arrangement creates a geographically inspired community where architecture and landscape reflect diverse global influences.

Residential options encompass both villas and apartments, distributed across the themed islands and developed by multiple recognised firms within the luxury market. The architectural language of each property reflects its island location, from Mediterranean villas to Nordic-influenced residences. Signature developments include mansion estates, boutique residential hotels and distinctive floating properties.

The Island leisure complex offers beaches, water sports and dining venues, whilst the Anantara World Islands Dubai resort provides complementary hospitality and residential villa options with extensive outdoor spaces. The islands' proximity to mainland Dubai and neighbouring Palm Jumeirah ensures convenient access to urban amenities and transport links. Yet the archipelago maintains the seclusion characteristic of an exclusive private community.
