7/11/24, 1:46 PM XBD Collective Unveils Visionary Master Plan for AlThuraya Island - Design Middle East
shared garden concept with easy pedestrian and bicycle access to the beachfront for everyone,” says Ferran
Iglesias, Associate Design Manager at XBD Collective. The integration of green spaces and mindful connections to
water exemplify a deep respect for the island’s unique resources and assets, creating a living experience that is
both luxurious and sustainable.

The development is distinctly residential with communities mixing different villa typologies, including Seabreeze
Villas, Serene Villas, Azura Villas, and Grandeur Villas, as well as a restricted VVIP node featuring the largest and
most exclusive residences, the Majestic Mansions. The AlThuraya Island villas and mansions are highly adaptable
to the different cultures and lifestyles of their owners and users, offering the following designs:

Seabreeze Villas: Representing a 5-bedroom twin-house concept centrally located, these units feature both
park and streetscape views, designed for privacy and community harmony.

Serene and Azura Villas: These 6-bedroom stand-alone homes adjust architectural massing to balance
seclusion with openness, suited for diverse owner preferences, who can choose between a beachfront
location (Azura) or fully immersed in lush gardens, bordering the central spine (Serene).

Grandeur Villas: Positioned along the prime shoreline with direct beachfront access, these 8-bedroom
residences celebrate the waterfront with expansive windows and central atriums that connect the indoor and
outdoor environments seamlessly.

Majestic Mansions: Offering the pinnacle of island luxury with direct beach and water connections mostly
located within a separate gated community, these 8-bedroom mansions are equipped with floating terraces
that embrace the surrounding nature.

Accessibility to the development is streamlined through well-connected infrastructure linking AlThuraya Island to the
mainland and the broader region. Community amenities are thoughtful and comprehensive, featuring two mosques,
a community centre, and spaces for cultural and social activities.
