The development is intended to have a central shopping mall with a high-end seven stars hotel component and a luxurious resort facing the beach side. The development is to be themed with Italian architecture features externally, and internally it will focus on the Venetian theme, which is the most preferred by clients.

We aim at implementing the rich and diverse architectural style of Venice and reflect it in all the project components. Venetian Gothic architecture is a term to be given to all the project building style, combining the use of the Gothic lancet arch with Byzantine and Arab influences.

Chief examples of this style are the Doge’s Palace and the Ca’ d’Oro. The city also has several Renaissance and Baroque buildings, including the Ca’ Pesaro and the Ca’ Rezzonico. The development is meant to be a new destination for music, arts, fashion, shopping, tranquillity, hospitality, leisure and festivals. All the project elements should work homogenously to reflect the desired theme with unique interiors and outstanding exteriors.

DUBAI - VENICE is meant to be the upcoming most important destination of Dubai with the most luxurious shops and boutiques alongside well-defined water canals. As Dubai grows inevitably at a furious pace, more and more developments will need to create an added experience. This will not occur through their architectural wonder alone, but must occur through their role and place in the city.

As such, DUBAI - VENICE must become a living and liveable environment. A seamless, focused space successfully combining residential villas, hotels and a shopping mall is critical in creating an identity that will become the most sought-after address in Dubai.

With the close proximity of the famous current destinations, immediate access to all main roads in all directions of Dubai, DUBAI - VENICE can be the perfect combination of urban living that fuses rapid transportation, personal vehicular access, recreation, day and night experiences, and leisure activities of the highest quality.

The Island facilities include a tourist port, different marinas with amenities and services that will enhance the value of the hotel complex.
