Dubai's first heart-shaped island to feature floating villas

A heart-shaped island just off the coast of Dubai is currently in the works and will open to customers next year, Gulf News has learned.

Austrian company Kleindienst confirmed on Thursday that it has redesigned one of the six islands it is developing at The World to form as the centerpiece of “The Heart of Europe,” a mega project that promises to bring snow and rain to Dubai.

Dubbed as a “charming vacation retreat”, St. Petersburg island takes inspiration from the Maldives and will feature floating “seahorse” villas, white sandy beaches, lagoons, a large infinity pool and lush gardens.

Kleindienst is the same developer that earlier launched “The Floating Seahorse”, which features rooms submerged underwater and a rooftop deck. The first two phases of the project, consisting of 51 villas, went on sale early this year and were sold out in just eight months.
