History
Cheval Blanc Dubai is planned as the brand's first Maison in the Middle East, developed with Dubai-based Shamal Holding on Naïa Island, a new private island off the Umm Suqeim 1 coastline. Shamal announced the island in August 2025 with early works under way. The plan calls for about 30 suites and 40 private pool villas, plus a small number of branded beachfront residences and estate plots, with completion targeted for 2029.
The setting
Cheval Blanc Dubai will anchor Naïa Island — a purpose-built private island just off the Jumeirah coastline, connected to Dubai's main arterial roads and conceived by Shamal Holding as an ultra-luxury coastal estate of exceptional privacy and natural immersion. Positioned along the same prestigious shoreline as Dubai's established beachfront addresses, approximately fifteen minutes from the city centre, the island aligns with Dubai's long-term vision for exclusive coastal destinations near Umm Suqeim. As the region's inaugural Cheval Blanc Maison, the property brings the LVMH brand's handcrafted French luxury aesthetic to Arabian Gulf waters for the first time.
