Dubai Market Trends & News

The UAE is making history with the launch of SHA Residences Emirates Island, the first island in the world fully dedicated to longevity and wellbeing. Strategically located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the development merges luxury living, natural beauty, and science-based health programs, reshaping how investors and residents view real estate.

A New Era of Wellness Real Estate

For decades, luxury property has been defined by location, architecture, and amenities. SHA Residences Emirates Island goes beyond this, offering homes that are not only luxurious but also designed to actively enhance quality of life. Positioned within IMKAN’s Al Jurf masterplan on the coast of Sahel Al Emarat, known as the “Riviera of the Emirates”, the island is set to become a global destination for wellness tourism.

Homes Tailored for Longevity

The residences are crafted with wellbeing at the core. Each unit is designed with materials and technology that support a healthier lifestyle: natural stone and wood finishes, advanced air and water purification systems, and circadian lighting to improve sleep cycles.

  • 51 Apartments (1–4 BR) with modern layouts and wellness integration.
  • 19 Garden Villas (5–6 BR) surrounded by greenery, terraces, and pools.
  • 67 Beach & Shoreline Villas (4–6 BR) with private jetties, direct beach access, and panoramic views.

These homes do more than provide comfort; they embody the future of healthy living in the UAE.

World-Class Wellness Amenities

Living on SHA Island means having direct access to one of the most comprehensive wellness ecosystems in the world. Residents can enjoy:

  • SHA Clinic offers personalized longevity and preventive medicine programs.
  • Movement Pavilion and Hydrotherapy Circuit to maintain peak physical health.
  • Mind & Body Pavilion for yoga, mindfulness, and mental wellbeing.
  • Healthy Nutrition Pavilion with organic, farm-to-table cuisine curated by top chefs.
  • Beach Club, Marine Pavilion, and Kids Club designed to balance lifestyle, family, and community living.

This integration of luxury real estate with medical-grade wellness services is what makes SHA Residences Emirates Island a landmark project.

Global Legacy, Local Strength

Since 2008, SHA Wellness has built a global reputation with award-winning clinics in Spain and Mexico, transforming over 70,000 lives. Its philosophy combines advanced medicine, natural therapies, and nutrition to enhance human potential. Bringing this model to the UAE for the first time elevates the nation’s position as a leader in wellness-driven real estate and medical tourism.

Strategic Location and Connectivity

The project is located in Al Jurf, halfway between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The area offers pristine landscapes with preserved ecosystems, while also being exceptionally connected:

  • Easy access to Dubai International, Al Maktoum International, and Zayed International airports.
  • Proximity to Saadiyat Island’s cultural hub and major business districts.
  • Future Etihad Rail link, providing high-speed travel between the emirates.
  • Two marinas for private sea connections.

This ensures residents can enjoy the privacy of a wellness retreat while staying connected to global gateways.

A Prime Investment in Wellness Real Estate

The launch of SHA Residences Emirates Island represents far more than a luxury lifestyle choice, it is a compelling investment opportunity. Scheduled for handover in 2027, the development offers residences priced between AED 9 million and AED 130 million, catering to a range of high-net-worth buyers. Positioned within the rapidly expanding $7 trillion global wellness economy, the project taps into a sector experiencing sustained growth. Branded residences worldwide consistently command a 20–30% premium, and SHA Island’s unique focus on longevity and wellbeing strengthens its potential for long-term appreciation. For investors seeking both solid financial returns and exceptional lifestyle value, SHA Residences Emirates Island delivers a rare and powerful combination.
