Designed to harmonise with its idyllic setting, AlThuraya Island merges thoughtful urban
planning and architectural prowess. The master plan, conceived with an organic
aesthetic and diverse visual experiences, blends topography and architecture, adorned
with permeating greenery at its core, covering almost 40% of the project.

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, the Majestic
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 XBD Collective.

H.E. Sultan Al Shakrah, CEO of AJMAL MAKAN Real Estate Development,
