Shamal Holding, the Dubai investment company behind some of the city’s most iconic destinations, today reveals a new development in collaboration with Cheval Blanc, the LVMH hospitality brand renowned for its art of emotional luxury.
Scheduled to open in 2029, the development will be Cheval Blanc maison’s debut in Dubai – an unobtrusive private island hideaway with a distinctive balance of intimacy, architectural sophistication, and beach lifestyle.
Situated within a preserved coastal setting and encircled by the Arabian Gulf, the development will present Cheval Blanc’s signature sophistication alongside Shamal’s innovative philosophy of expanded placemaking.
The maison will feature 30 suites and 40 private pool villas, each reflecting Cheval Blanc’s unique design philosophy: modern yet timeless, engaging yet serene. Branded beachfront homes in limited numbers will offer an unprecedented opportunity for ownership – combining exquisite, understated design with easy access to the full range of Cheval Blanc amenities.
Every space will be carefully crafted with sensitivity, honoring the island’s natural environment while elevating the level of modern luxury. Design and interiors will echo the maison’s subtle refinement – an aesthetic of light, flow, and effortless beauty.
Grounded in the Cheval Blanc art de recevoir philosophy, the retreat will deliver personalized wellness rituals, fine dining experiences, and crafted lifestyle moments to create occasions for connection, presence, and tranquility.
This development forms part of Cheval Blanc’s selective international expansion strategy with the ambition to create distinctive destinations that reflect the brand’s commitments while meeting the expectations of its most discerning guests.
It also marks an exciting step forward for Shamal as it continues to curate and develop exciting firsts for the region, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a destination for exceptional, world-class experiences in line with Dubai’s 2030 vision.
