Hollywood actress Hillary Swank will appear in Dubai next month to launch a $1.49 billion project on The World islands mega development.

Academy Award winner Swank has been signed as the face of development Aquitainia, according to a statement released by the project’s joint developers Select Property and Select Group, on Wednesday.

Rahail Aslam, CEO of Select Group, said popular US singer Kelly Rowland will also perform at the sales launch which will take place at the Buddha Bar on the eve of Cityscape Dubai.

Aslam described the Aquitainia development as “one of the most exclusive projects launched in Dubai to date”.

The double island development is spread over one million square feet on the Nakheel archipelago, and aims to emulate "the spirit" of France and Spain, he added.

Developed by Nakheel Properties, The World is a man-made archipelago of 300 islands, located 4km kilometres off the coast of the emirate.

The World is one of several artificial island projects being constructed in Dubai, including the three Palm Islands.

Other celebrities, including David Beckham, and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reported to have purchased islands on The World.
