The World Island Paradise in Dubai


One way to add land mass to a city is to add a series of world-class islands to that city’s coastline. Dubai developer, Nakheel, has added more than 1,500 km of beach front to the Dubai coastline with various island-building projects over the past decade. These islands include The Palm, The World and Dubai Waterfront, and they’re located off the Dubai city coastline, United Arab Emirates (UAE) in the eastern Arabian Peninsula.


The World is the latest complete island paradise, with the last stone on the breakwater added on 10 January this year. Investors and developers can choose among 300 islands in the shape of the continents to create estate islands and residential and resort communities. All 300 islands are accessible only by marine or air transport, with world-class marinas to berth boats, yachts and cruise liners. Two mainland marinas will service The World, and 4 hub islands in The World will service the islands.




Nakheel integrates a series of waterways, canals and lakes to enhance the overall design. Investors have the freedom to create their own personal vision on the islands for private or commercial use, whether it is for leisure, residential or tourist developments. The 300 islands will be offered for sale on a freehold basis to selected investors only. If The World doesn’t suit your taste, perhaps the next Nakheel project, The Universe, will be more your cup of tea.
