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.

sustainability,” says Marc Roca Bravo, Managing Partner and Design Director of
