4. Seahorse Villas That Float
Imagine a three-story home that is partially submerged and floats on the ocean surrounding the Global Islands, a bold artificial archipelago shaped like a global map. These homes, located in the Heart of Europe neighborhood of the World Islands and built by Nakheel Properties, have an amazing underwater bedroom and bathtub and a distinctive three-story layout. The 4,000-square-foot area, which is encircled by artificial coral reefs and a plethora of colourful marine life, transports occupants to an aquatic paradise. With floor-to-ceiling windows, an open-concept living area, and a dining area that opens onto a sun deck, the homes remain stunning even above sea level. The luxury doesn’t end there, though; if you go to the top floor, you’ll discover a kitchenette, a minibar, and a hot tub with a glass bottom that offers breathtaking views of the Persian Gulf and the city of Dubai.
With a total of 131 villas planned for the future, this ambitious project already has 78 residences in its initial phase. Even though these architectural wonders lack autonomous propulsion, marine-grade concrete is used to firmly tie them to the water floor. To purchase one of these opulent mansions, be prepared to pay a whopping $2,990,506 in total. For a multi-million dollar price tag, residents can experience the ultimate luxury of underwater living, a lifestyle option unique to Dubai’s remarkable landscape.
