Nakheel, a real estate master developer based in the United Arab Emirates, in partnership with Excelsior Real Estate LLC, is developing Rixos Dubai Islands, Hotel & Residences, a lifestyle resort located off the northern coast of the emirate of Dubai.

Set back in a secluded cove with direct access to a 700-metre beach, the property will offer one, two and three-bedroom apartments with spacious overhanging terraces, four-bedroom duplexes with private pools, beach houses including their own gardens and terraces and ten luxury villas, all with marine views.

By bringing the world-renowned Rixos brand to Dubai Islands, we are creating an exclusive family-friendly living environment that offers waterfront luxury living with a metropolitan feel,” said Rasha Hasan, chief commercial officer, Nakheel.
