Zuha Island sets a new standard for high-end waterfront living in Dubai. Named after the Arabic word for “morning light,” the island captures a sense of calm and understated exclusivity. Homes are designed around clean layouts, private pools, and uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, reflecting the natural rhythm of the water. Built for buyers who value strong design and genuine privacy, Zuha Island delivers a long-term lifestyle investment in one of Dubai’s most anticipated island communities.
Zuha Island is home to an ultra-exclusive collection of 30 beachfront residences, designed for absolute privacy, space, and uninterrupted sea views. These five- and six-bedroom villas feature flowing architecture, floor-to-ceiling glass, and expansive terraces that open directly onto private beaches. Each home includes a private infinity pool, landscaped gardens, generous outdoor living areas, and panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline.
Built with premium materials, sustainable design principles, and integrated smart-home systems, the villas combine modern sophistication with the calm, natural rhythm of island living.
Complementing the private residential enclave, the Zuha Resort offers a boutique hospitality experience shaped around wellness, cuisine, and leisure. The resort includes a curated selection of hotel villas, fine-dining concepts, a holistic spa, fitness and healing centres, and a contemporary beach club.
Residential owners enjoy privileged access to these five-star amenities, including bespoke concierge services, curated dining, and private marine transfers, blending the privacy of villa ownership with the convenience of resort living, just minutes from Dubai’s mainland.
Expansive beachfront homes on plots ranging from approximately 25,000 to 28,000 sq ft. These villas feature private pools, large terraces, multiple ensuite bedrooms, and open-plan living spaces oriented toward the sea and skyline.
Grand coastal residences offering roughly 19,600 to 28,400 sq ft of space, with sweeping indoor–outdoor layouts, private beach access, infinity pools, landscaped gardens, and elevated views of the surrounding islands and Dubai’s skyline.
ZUHA’s private beach club is where skyline views meet the serenity of the Gulf. Curved forms inspired by traditional Arabic architecture frame a modern social hub featuring two levels of dining, shaded lounges, and open-air terraces. Infinity pools, sun decks, and private cabanas create a resort-like rhythm throughout the day, whether guests are unwinding with a cocktail, cooling off after a swim, or settling in for sunset.
The island’s fitness pavilion brings movement to the centre of daily life. Advanced training systems, yoga studios, and dedicated workout zones cater to both high-performance athletes and guests seeking gentle, restorative sessions. Outdoor enthusiasts can take to the water with paddleboarding, sailing, and kayaking, or challenge themselves on floating paddle courts that sit directly above the sea. Personal trainers and wellness specialists tailor programs to individual goals, keeping every experience focused and intentional.
Dining on ZUHA Island celebrates place, flavour, and craftsmanship. Signature restaurants, wine-led lounges, and relaxed terrace venues form a diverse culinary landscape.
All-Day Dining offers fresh-baked pastries in the morning, long lunches, and sunset wine tastings, set within interiors that blend vineyard warmth with coastal sophistication.
Taste the Orient captures the rhythms of the old spice routes, serving dim sum, mezze, aromatic teas, and crafted cocktails in moody, textured spaces reminiscent of 1920s tea houses.
Ceviche Bar delivers South American brightness through bold flavours, tropical ingredients, and a lively day-to-night atmosphere.
Across every venue, menus spotlight fresh, locally sourced ingredients and immersive settings that elevate each meal.
At the heart of the island lies the ZUHA Spa, a sanctuary shaped by the natural elements of the region. Drawing inspiration from temples and traditional Arabic healing practices, the space blends air, water, and light to create deep sensory calm. Guests can choose from holistic treatments, saunas, steam rooms, and meditative reflection areas. The adjoining fitness centre expands the wellness offering with rebounding, yoga, TRX, and advanced bio-hacking programmes for personalised health optimisation.
For younger guests, ZUHA Island transforms play into exploration. Nature trails, splash parks, climbing walls, and obstacle zones encourage curiosity outdoors, while creative studios inside host daily activities from arts and crafts to scavenger hunts and sports sessions. Supervised by experienced staff, the Kids Club gives children a world of their own while allowing families to relax with complete peace of mind.
Zuha Island offers a flexible payment plan designed to make ownership more accessible for discerning buyers. The structure typically begins with a 5% booking fee, followed by 45% during the construction phase, and the remaining 50% upon handover. This staged approach allows investors and end-users to manage payments comfortably over the course of the development while securing a property in one of Dubai’s most exclusive island destinations.
With an extremely low unit count and no possibility of mass expansion, Zuha Island is structurally protected from oversupply. This scarcity drives long-term value, stronger resale potential, and a buyer pool limited to those seeking truly rare assets.
Set within The World Islands yet only 12 minutes from Jumeirah Harbour, the island blends absolute seclusion with smooth access to Dubai’s luxury ecosystem. The result is a “destination within a destination” that appeals to UHNWIs seeking privacy without compromise.
Developed by Zaya and FIVE Holdings, creators of Nurai Island and pioneers of ultra-luxury resort living, Zuha benefits from proven expertise in delivering high-end hospitality, architecture, and island masterplanning.
Early entry pricing, premium specifications, and the island’s positioning in the trophy-asset segment create favourable conditions for long-term capital growth. Rental yields for island villas and branded residences typically outperform traditional luxury communities due to limited supply and high UHNWI demand.
Zuha Island attracts a very specific investor profile: buyers seeking generational homes, offshore privacy, and a globally recognisable address. This demand ensures enduring relevance and protects long-term asset value.
Zuha Island is perfectly positioned just fifteen minutes off Dubai’s coast. Zuha Island offers the rare balance of total seclusion and easy access to the city’s energy. Nestled within The World Islands, it sits in a league of its own, surrounded by endless sea views yet only a short boat ride from Jumeirah and Downtown Dubai.
Zuha Island sits just 12 minutes by boat from Jumeirah Harbour (next to the Four Seasons), offering private-island seclusion with uninterrupted skyline views and direct access to Dubai’s luxury districts.
The island is developed by Zaya and FIVE Holdings, the same award-winning team behind Nurai Island, known for pioneering ultra-luxury resort and residential concepts in the UAE.
The island features ultra-luxury villas and boutique beachfront villas, all with panoramic Gulf views, private beaches, and expansive, high-specification layouts.
