First luxury resort to open on Dubai’s World Islands

The first resort on Dubai’s World Islands is set to open this month.

The five-star Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort, situated on Clarence Island within the South American continent of the huge mega-development, will be launched by luxury hospitality developer Seven Tides on December 18.

Originally announced in 2017, the project, on the 142,000sqm island, boasts 70 rooms, suites and villas.

Seven Tides CEO, Abdulla Bin Sulayem, said: “The Anantara hotel on Clarence Island will set the bar for exclusivity and a luxury lifestyle, while remaining in harmony with nature. Without a doubt, this will become one of the most sought-after leisure and lifestyle destinations in the Middle East, if not the world.”

The resort will be accessible exclusively by boat – a ten-minute ride from Anantara The Palm Dubai Resort – and will feature a gymnasium and a guest pool, as well as a series of private infinity pools for the exclusive use of those staying in villas.

It will also include five restaurants and bars. While an Anantara spa will open its doors as part of a future phase of the hotel’s development.

Ghanim Bin Sulayem, operations director, Seven Tides, said: “Creating an island resort does not come without its challenges, however, thanks to the expertise of all involved, we look forward to showcasing this unique development in December when we officially open to the public.”
