The Luxury Future of Abu Dhabi
As I write this the future of the middle east is being brought into question. Iran just had its nuclear development facilities become the test-bed for a dozen bunker busters delivered by two B2 stealth bombers. Hopefully none of this will be a problem by 2030 though because just over the Persian Gulf Abu Dhabi has struck a deal with Bvlgari to create an ultra luxury resort dubbed Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi. It’s all in the name really.
Bvlgari has secured a horseshoe-shaped private island with sunset views on one side and views of Qasr Al Watan on the other. The island will be populated with 90 unique mansions, 30 villas and 60 elegant rooms and suites for people that don’t need an entire mansion for the weekend. Never fear though, you won’t feel like you’re slumming it when you have Bvlgari’s signature II Caffe Italian restaurant a short walk away and a spa with a 25 meter long lap pool and fitness center. After refreshing yourself you can step out onto an outdoor deck with exquisite sea views. The 2 Bvlgari Suites and Bvlgari Penthouse will be the crown jewel of the resort while the 1,200 sqm Bvlgari Villa with its own private park and beach including a 20-meter pool will set a new standard in luxury hospitality. Finally resort members can also gain access to the Yacht Club which also has its own private beach.
The mansions range from 1,650 to 2,500 sqm and will include 8 estates with their own private beach. A few of the mansions will also have their own docks for boats up to 25-meters long, so no super yachts please. Calm down.
While it is an island, a purpose-built bridge will ensure your connection to the emirates flourishing art scene, and natural beauty waiting to be explored. Do all this comfortable in the fact that at the end of the day you can retreat back to your private paradise.
