The World Islands are a collection of man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world, located off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands.



Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet (23,226 to 83,613 square metres) in size, with 50 to 100 metres (164 to 328 feet) of water between each island. It will cover a total area of 9 kilometres (5.4 miles) in length and 6 kilometres (3.6 miles) in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands will be by marine or air transport.



The World Islands will be located 4 kilometres off the shore of Jumeirah, close to the Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid at approximately 25 degrees 13 North and 55 degrees 10 East. Each island will be sold to selected private developers and are expected to be priced between US $7 M. - US $1.8 B. Richard Branson recently purchased the island of Great Britain in The World project. The expected completion date of The World is 2008.

Here on your own private island, life is very different. Design an intimate single family home or sprawling compound. Surround yourself with tropical foliage or the serenity of a Japanese garden. Architect your every desire on The World.

Estate Homes

Devote an island to a development of private estate homes for weekenders or year-round residents. Create one style of distinctive home or a mixture of design themes - whatever you decide, the location is unprecedented.

Community

Create a private island of neighbours where families can escape to a community built just for them, or couples to elegant island apartments where they can reconnect and recharge. Imagine a place where no one is a stranger, and the focus is on one thing: relaxation.
