Slated to open in 2027, SHA Island is set to redefine luxury living in the UAE. Located on Al Jurf Island between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, this development, brought to life by SHA Wellness, is touted as the world’s first private island dedicated entirely to wellness and longevity. Spanning 380 hectares along 1.6 kilometres of pristine coastline, the island merges seamlessly with the natural beauty of the Sahel Al Emarat region, often hailed as the “Riviera of the Emirates.” Every corner has been designed to offer residents and guests a transformative lifestyle where health, sustainability, and sophistication intersect.
SHA Island will feature 137 bespoke residences, including 51 sustainable apartments, 19 garden villas, and 67 shoreline villas. Every home is conceived with well-being in mind, integrating advanced air purification systems, circadian lighting to support healthy sleep cycles, and natural materials such as wood and stone. Thoughtfully designed layouts and serene surroundings ensure that each space fosters a sense of calm and balance, allowing residents to live in harmony with both nature and themselves.
Comprehensive Wellness Facilities
The island is designed as a holistic sanctuary, offering a wide range of wellness amenities that cater to every aspect of health and lifestyle. The Movement Pavilion provides a dedicated space for fitness and rehabilitation, while the Hydrotherapy Circuit offers water-based therapies aimed at relaxation and recovery. The Mind & Body Pavilion focuses on mental health, meditation, and spiritual well-being, and the Healthy Nutrition Pavilion serves organic, farm-to-table cuisine curated by world-class chefs. Residents also have access to SHA’s renowned health and longevity services, with top doctors, practitioners, and wellness experts available on-site, making the island a fully integrated destination for holistic living.
Strategic Location and Connectivity
While SHA Island feels like a secluded retreat, its location between Dubai and Abu Dhabi ensures exceptional accessibility. Residents will enjoy easy access to major international airports, and in the near future, the Etihad Rail will provide high-speed connections between the two emirates. This balance of tranquillity and convenience allows for a seamless lifestyle where privacy, wellness, and modern connectivity coexist.
SHA Island is set to be more than a residential development; it is a statement of what luxury living can be in the modern era. By combining sustainable architecture, cutting-edge wellness facilities, and carefully curated residences, the island sets a new benchmark in global real estate. Here, luxury is defined not only by opulence but also by a commitment to longevity, health, and mindful living, offering residents a sanctuary where well-being and refinement exist in perfect harmony.
