Zuha Island is a district of Dubai, 404 m from Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station, 28 sale transactions recorded in the DLD registry.
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.
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.
Zuha Island’s published locality data includes a nearby metro reference on the Red Line (station code R25), at an indicated distance of 404 metres and described as walkable. Distances to key Dubai destinations, as recorded in the location data, are approximately:

The product mix—limited private parcels alongside a small resort—targets owners seeking standalone plots with skyline views or short-stay villa accommodation under a managed resort operation. The island’s on-site marine conservation activities and emphasis on private outdoor space will appeal to purchasers with an interest in coastal ecology and low-density waterfront living.
