The development features an extensive range of villas and mansions with built-up areas starting from 6,596 sq. ft., going up to over 25,000 sq. ft. for the largest mansions.
The community is organized into five themed villa clusters: Seabreeze, Azura, Serene, Grandeur, and Majestic. Each cluster reflects a different facet of luxury—from beachfront access and rooftop terraces to internal water features and expansive plots. These homes are designed to support privacy, family living, and high-end comfort, with rooftop decks, private pools, and landscape integration.
Al Thuraya Island boasts over 13 million sq. ft. of green spaces and a large private beachfront, promoting outdoor recreation and ecological harmony. Residents will have access to modern amenities such as retail and dining zones, wellness areas, a beach lounge, and dedicated mosques. The development is also part of a freehold zone, allowing foreign investment.
With its unique blend of exclusivity and connectivity, Al Thuraya Island stands out in the Northern Emirates' real estate scene. It reflects Sharjah’s growing focus on premium waterfront living, while maintaining proximity to major city attractions and services.
