About the area

Zuha Island is a privately designed island within The World Islands archipelago off the coast of Dubai. Positioned as a low-density, high-privacy enclave, the scheme combines limited-edition private plots and a small resort footprint with on-island environmental measures and guest facilities.

What Zuha Island is and where it is located

Zuha Island is part of The World Islands development and occupies more than 2.5 million square feet with approximately 2.5 kilometres of beachfront. The masterplan envisages a total of 30 exclusive private residences on generous plots offering skyline views, together with a dedicated Zuha Resort comprising about 70 one- and two-bedroom villas. The island name is derived from the Arabic word for “morning light”.

The island lies off Jumeirah coast and is accessed by boat; the developer’s material indicates a transfer time of around 12 minutes from the Jumeirah shoreline.

Development concept and on-island provisions

The original masterplan for Zuha Island sets out a low-density residential model alongside a modest resort operation. Key elements published in the concept material include:

  • Thirty limited-edition private residences, each positioned on individual plots with views toward the Dubai skyline and designed to prioritise privacy.
  • A Zuha Resort comprising roughly seventy one- and two-bedroom villas intended for short-stay guests or resort operations.
  • Approximately 2.5 km of beachfront and an overarching site area of over 2.5 million square feet.
  • On-island power provision combining conventional generators and solar generation as part of the site’s utilities strategy.
  • On-site marine science support: marine biologists were included in the project brief to assist with coral regeneration efforts and the establishment of a protective house reef in the surrounding waters.
  • Food and beverage plans that reference four primary dining venues along with in-villa dining experiences.

Images and an original concept masterplan were published at launch to illustrate the intended layout and design. Project materials note that designs and landscaping can be revised over time as schemes progress.
