Zuha Island is a high-end off-plan development by FIVE Holdings located in The World Islands, Dubai. Set for handover in Q2 2025, it features 30 private six-bedroom residences and 70 resort villas. The residences reflect organic architecture inspired by wind and waves, designed to harmonize with the island’s natural elements while maintaining modern luxury.
The villas are built across four levels, centered around a spiraling staircase and open onto vast terraces with panoramic island and ocean views. Interiors use travertine and marble, neutral tones, and expansive glasswork to transition between inside and outside. Every residence offers privacy and sweeping vistas of Dubai’s skyline.
Resort villas range from 1 to 8 bedrooms and offer various unique features such as green roofs, solar power systems, infinity pools, private terraces, and beach access. Each property has been sculpted to reflect the soul of the island while providing top-tier living experiences.
