Bvlgari Resort & Mansions Abu Dhabi will be nestled on a private island, characterised by its horseshoe-shape and offering breathtaking views of the open sea, a sunset view on one side, and the majestic Qasr Al Watan and city skyline on the other. Mohamed Alabbar, Founder and Chairman of Eagle Hills commented: "Abu Dhabi has always stood for vision and grace. This partnership with Bvlgari reaffirms our commitment to placing the Emirate at the epicentre of luxury living – where exceptional design, exclusivity, and Arabian soul converge." The ultimate luxury retreat that 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. The resort will comprise a main building that features 60 guest rooms on various floor levels, including 2 Bvlgari Suites and a Bvlgari Penthouse, and 30 distinct beachside villas, each with a private pool. The five bedroom, 1,200 sqm Bvlgari Villa, set within its own private park that leads to its private beach with a 20-meters pool, will be the cornerstone of what will become the new class of worldwide luxury hospitality. An extensive range of luxury facilities for wellness, recreation, entertainment and dining will be available throughout the entire destination to ensure a rich lifestyle experience to all discerning guests. The main building will feature Bvlgari’s signature Il Caffè, the casual Italian restaurant, Bvlgari Dolci boutique, offering renowned ‘chocolate gem’ creations and Italian pastries and La Galleria, the resort’s concept store that offer a wide selection of items from hand-picked local and international designers.
