Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort
Dubai, United Arab Emirates · Anantara · High Luxury



When Anantara World Islands opened in late 2021, it became the first hotel on The World, Nakheel's 300-island map laid four kilometres off Dubai. The resort takes the South America island, reached only by a fifteen-minute speedboat from Anantara The Palm, with open Gulf water and the city skyline on the horizon. Seventy suites and villas have the run of a private island, a combination the Palm cannot copy.
- 70 rooms

About Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort
- Nakheel began building the six continental groupings in 2003; Anantara's island was for years the only inhabited resort in the whole map.
- No road or bridge reaches South America. Helicopter is the other way in besides the Palm jetty boat.

History
The first hotel to open on Dubai's World Islands archipelago, on its own private island.
When Anantara World Islands opened in late 2021, it became the first hotel to operate on The World — Nakheel's 300-island artificial archipelago arranged in the shape of a world map, visible from space, lying 4 km off the Dubai coast.
The setting
Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort occupies the 'South America' island of The World archipelago — 300 artificial islands arranged in the shape of a world map, lying roughly four kilometres off the Dubai coast in the Persian Gulf, constructed by Nakheel from 2003. Accessible only by private boat or helicopter from the mainland, the resort delivers open Gulf horizons in all directions and views of the Dubai skyline shimmering on the horizon. As the first resort to open in the archipelago, Anantara claims the most exclusive address in Dubai: a private island genuinely surrounded by sea, within twenty minutes of the city.
