All you need to know about the upcoming Bvlgari island resort in Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is all set to welcome a brand new luxury resort, this time by none other than the powerhouse Bvlgari!

Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts and Eagle Hills are all set to launch a luxury development in Abu Dhabi by 2030.

The gold and glass project will feature 60 hotel rooms and suites, 30 beachfront villas, and 90 private mansions. The aesthetics promise a blend of Italian and Middle Eastern, and is meant to be Bvlgari’s most ambitious development to date.

The horseshoe-shaped private island will boast views of the open sea and the majestic Qasr Al Watan.

What can you expect to find at the Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts in Abu Dhabi?

The project is being developed by Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based real estate firm founded by Mohamed Alabbar, and is designed by Milanese architects ACPV ARCHITECTS Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.

One of the highlights to keep an eye out for is undoubtedly a five-bedroom, 1,200 sqm flagship Bvlgari Villa. As well as the private marina and a whopping 40-berth yacht club!

In terms of dining options, think signature Bvlgari experiences including Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, the Japanese concept Hōseki, a refined Turkish restaurant, and the lively Bvlgari Bar.

Of course, privacy and scale have been paramount in the design of the place, positioned as a haven for celebrities or anyone looking for ultimate privacy.

“Each of the 90 mansions will have expansive space—some over 2,500 sqm—with high ceilings, dramatic volume, and private docks or beachfronts. We’re aiming for monumental beauty, like a Roman temple—but made for modern living,” says Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari.

The resort will also feature a 2,000 sqm spa, a 25-metre lap pool, and a fitness centre.

Babin also added that the Yacht Club will have boundaries, allowing casual visitors access to dining and beach areas, but not the hotel or mansion zones.

Bvlgari continues to expand selectively, with properties in Milan, Paris, London, and Tokyo, and upcoming locations including Miami, the Maldives, and Bodrum.
