The World Islands Dubai is an archipelago of artificial islands that caused much speculation among the members of the elite class; the project first came to the world’s attention in 2003. However, despite the high hopes and speculations, the project came to a halt in 2008 as a result of the financial crash.
Investors
Only Lebanon Island was complete when the crash occurred, and most investors withdrew their investment after the crash. If the reports are to be believed, however, some of the investors have begun working on the project, and among them is Kleindienst Group.
The Heart of Europe
Resembling the geographical and climate conditions of Europe, the Heart of Europe is financed by the Kleindienst Group. The group held onto their investment even after the crash, and the project has once again been reanimated – luxury hotels, villas, and luxurious mansions will be part of the project once complete. Although the project is a long way from completion, it’s rumoured that the hotels will start receiving visitors as soon as the work is done.
Visiting the islands
The World Islands Dubai is serviced by a number of luxury hotels in Dubai, including the namesake resort, Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort. Travellers visiting the islands are in for a unique experience, and the islands are also an excellent destination for weddings and luxe events.
