Positioned on a distinctive horseshoe-shaped private island, this exceptional new resort will bring Bvlgari’s renowned brand of refined Italian luxury to the heart of the UAE capital.

This full-scale destination resort will feature 60 rooms and suites, 30 private villas, and a spectacular 90 mansions, all meticulously designed by Milanese architectural firm ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel. The visionary landscaping will be led by the acclaimed firm LAND srl, blending Arabian tradition with contemporary European design across a canvas of dunes, sculpted gardens, and natural coastal features.

Accessible via bridge or by private boat from a state-of-the-art marina, the resort will provide seamless access to Abu Dhabi’s burgeoning arts and cultural scene.

Boutiques such as La Galleria and the Bvlgari Dolci will complement the lifestyle offering, elevating the experience further.

These exclusive residences are designed for ultimate privacy and elegance, with select homes featuring private docks for yachts up to 25 metres and eight estates boasting private beaches. Each residence offers sweeping views over the sea, city skyline, or inner cove, an architectural blend of modern sophistication and local cultural influence.
