The World Islands Dubai
The World Islands Dubai is one of the most iconic and visionary developments by Nakheel Properties, designed as a breathtaking archipelago of man-made islands shaped to resemble the world map. With more than 260 individual islands inspired by countries, cities and continents, The World Islands represents one of Dubai’s most ambitious and globally recognised real estate destinations.
Spanning approximately 232 km of shoreline, this remarkable development offers residents and investors an opportunity to experience a new standard of private island living with complete seclusion, panoramic water views, premium hospitality and amenities. The project is planned to blend exclusivity with luxury, making it ideal for high-net-worth individuals, investors and travellers seeking a one-of-a-kind experience in Dubai.
The World Islands Dubai Overview
Developed by Nakheel, The World Islands is divided into seven key clusters, each representing a continent. Every island is uniquely named after a specific nation, city or geographical concept, offering thematic architectural experiences influenced by its namesake.
Some islands are fully developed and operational, while others remain under construction, ensuring ongoing potential for future investment and expansion. Each part of The World Islands contributes to a dynamic, diverse environment.
The development is reachable by a 15-minute boat ride from Palm Jumeirah, making it both accessible and distinctly private.
Location
The World Islands is situated 4 km off the coast of Dubai, offering undisturbed privacy while remaining well-connected to the city’s major beachfront destinations. The islands are accessible via marine transport, yacht transfers and private charter services, ensuring residents and visitors travel with ease and exclusivity. Its strategic offshore position elevates the appeal of owning or investing in a World Islands property.
