In August 2025, Shamal Holding and LVMH’s Cheval Blanc announced Cheval Blanc Maison Dubai, a private island retreat set to open in 2029 near the iconic Burj Al Arab. This exclusive development, located on Naïa Island, will feature 40 private pool villas (Maisons) and 30 suites, creating a haven of discreet luxury in the Arabian Gulf. Designed to blend modern elegance with the island’s preserved coastal ecosystem, it’s poised to set a new benchmark for Dubai’s ultra-luxury real estate market.
The 40 Exclusive Villas
Private Pool Villas: Each of the 40 Maisons includes a private pool, expansive beachfront layouts, and panoramic Gulf views, ensuring unmatched privacy and comfort. These residences are crafted for high-net-worth individuals seeking serene, resort-style living.
Design and Sustainability: Contemporary architecture integrates with the natural coastal landscape, emphasizing eco-conscious design while delivering world-class luxury.
Ownership Opportunities: A select number of villas will be available for purchase by UAE residents, offering access to Cheval Blanc’s signature services, including bespoke wellness, dining, and curated experiences.
Investment Potential: With Dubai’s luxury market up 5-9.5% YoY in 2025, these villas promise strong ROI, comparable to branded residences like those on Palm Jumeirah (AED 12M-25M+). Limited supply (only 40 units) enhances exclusivity.
Project Highlights
Location: Naïa Island, near Burj Al Arab, offering proximity to Dubai’s skyline and a private coastal setting.
Amenities: World-class dining, personalized wellness facilities, lush gardens, and serene beachfront access, all tailored for an elite clientele.
Timeline: Completion slated for 2029, aligning with Dubai’s infrastructure growth, including the Al Maktoum Airport expansion.
Market Context: Dubai’s luxury sector remains robust, with 66,596 new units in 2025. The project’s exclusivity mitigates oversupply risks, appealing to global investors.
