Italian luxury hotel chain Bvlgari Hotels & Resorts has announced that it has signed a long-term agreement with  Eagle Hills, a UAE-based private real estate development company, for a new resort and private mansions project located in Abu Dhabi.

Set for 2030 opening, the Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi will be a unique beachfront sanctuary in the region.

Nestled on a private island, Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi will be characterised by its horseshoe-shape, and the breathtaking views of the open sea, a sunset view on one side, and the majestic Qasr Al Watan and city skyline on the other.

The project will include a resort featuring 60 rooms and suites, along with 30 villas, each offering spectacular views of the sea, city, or tranquil coves. It will also boast 90 exceptional mansions of different sizes and with unique characteristics, paired with meticulously curated landscaping, stated the developer.

The luxury retreat will extend Abu Dhabi’s iconic corniche and will be accessible via a purpose-built bridge or by sea.

Designed as a seaside haven, it will feature marine activities and water sports, allowing its patrons to explore some of the region’s most pristine beaches and islands.

The construction and design project, which will be compliant with the best sustainability practices, is set to be curated by the Milanese architectural firm ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel.

The resort’s architecture will embody a symbolic metaphor of glass and gold emerging from the sand – with the interplay of materials and forms that reflect the emirate’s unique identity and heritage of craftsmanship and luxury, it stated.

The landscape design, entrusted to the Milanese firm Land SRL, will feature a visionary landscape-crafted with precision, inspired by culture, and immersed in nature. Spanning across the private island, the design will be a living canvas – where dunes, gardens, and crafted forms converge in harmony, each element shaped to reflect the essence of luxury.
