Ferran Iglesias, Associate Design Manager at XBD Collective, said:“The aim of this project is to create a
distinctive living experience on the island, within a healthy, green environment that strengthens residents’
connection with nature. Additionally, it aims to develop a diverse community by integrating expansive green spaces
and common parks with pedestrian and cycling paths, making the beaches easily accessible to everyone.”
AlThuraya Island boasts a range of luxurious villas and opulent mansions, including Seabreeze Villas, Serene
Villas, Azura Villas, and Grandeur Villas, as well as a restricted VVIP node featuring the largest and most exclusive
residences, theMajestic Mansions. The villas and mansions in AlThuraya Island are highly adaptable to the different
cultures and lifestyles of their owners and users,offering the following designs:
• Seabreeze Villas: Representing a 5-bderoom 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.

“Our design strategy blends the charm of waterfront living with a focus on wellness and community, aiming to offer
families a life rich in nature and sustainability,” says Marc Roca Bravo, Managing Partner and Design Director of
