Amali Island

About the project

Amali Island is a 24-villa residential development in The World Islands, Dubai, developed by Amali Properties. The project joins two islands into one private-island site with beachfront residences, private marine access and views of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai skyline and Palm Jumeirah. It is active, with construction recorded at 16.37% completion on 11 June 2026 and a scheduled completion date of 31 March 2027.

A 24-villa private-island development

Amali Island comprises 24 standalone residential villas in The World Islands, a man-made archipelago off the Jumeirah coast. The masterplan combines the Sao Paulo and Uruguay islands into a single site of 1,200,000 sq ft. Each residence is planned with direct beachfront access and private marine access, while selected villas have private berths. The development is designed as a low-density collection of beachfront mansions on substantial plots. Its concept takes inspiration from the Ombu tree and centres on private outdoor settings, sea access and island living. The villas are designed with concrete and steel structures, blockwork, and internal and external finishes.

Architecture, interiors and landscape design

Elastic and Hirsch Bedner Associates are named for the architecture and design of Amali Island, while SquareM is responsible for landscaping. The residences are arranged as individually configured villas rather than a uniform apartment or townhouse collection. Two interior design directions, Terra and Ultra, are identified for Villa Aurora and Villa Amorino. The project combines beachfront plots with sea-facing views across the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah and the Dubai skyline. Private marine access is integral to the design, with direct beachfronts and berthing facilities identified across the island collection.

Villa types, plot sizes and bedrooms

The 24 residences include villas with five- and seven-bedroom layouts. Villa Avatea has a 72,050 sq ft plot, 32,400 sq ft of living area and seven bedrooms. Villa Aria has a 56,200 sq ft plot, 22,470 sq ft of living area and seven bedrooms. Villa Aurora has a 46,770 sq ft plot, 16,620 sq ft of living area and seven bedrooms. Villa Amorino has a 32,630 sq ft plot, 12,690 sq ft of living area and five bedrooms. Villa Amorino is described as Vastu compliant. Private beachfronts of up to 50 metres are identified for villas where specified.

Island amenities and marine access

Shared facilities at Amali Island include a restaurant, fitness centre, spa, concierge service and a members-only clubhouse. A dedicated resident helipad is provided on the island. The project’s location requires travel by private marine transfer or helicopter, and the residences are planned with direct marine access. Private berths are included as part of the marine offering for selected residences. Dutco is contracted for the remaining marine works and the main construction package. The amenity and access programme combines on-island leisure facilities with marine and helicopter connections for residents.
