An Iconic Marine Resort
Nestled in one of the regions symbolic developments - The Pearl, this distinctive resort has dazzling views of the Arabian sea. Set in a beautiful marina, a string of water villas extends out of the bay, almost resembling a graceful breakwater protecting the exclusive enclave from waves.
Bright white structures extend to the sky, modern sails against the lush blue of an Arabian sky. The faceted roofs of villas weave through the landscape, floating above clear green waters and sparkling sand.
Two hotel blocks situated near the entrace are evocative of a multi-faceted leaf with a large canopy marking the exclusive development's porte-cochère.
