OQYANA World First, the first fully master-planned elite island community of the prestigious 'The World' development in Dubai, today unveiled the final master plan of its US$ 5 billion groundbreaking project

The latest additions include a Yacht Club & Dive Centre, a Reef Lagoon, an Outdoor Performing Art Centre, a Waterfront Promenade with central canal for outside dining venues and boutique shopping, a state-of-the-art ferry terminal, and an iconic hotel with a private beach.

"The OQYANA design has been perfected to cater to the demands of the world's elite, making it truly one of the most impressive lifestyle destinations in the world. Aside from offering the most fashionable and sophisticated leisure, recreational and home amenities, the master plan also ensures a stable and healthy living environment by adopting innovative solutions that maintain the superior quality of seawater and other environmental elements of the development," said Dr. Wadad AlSuwayeh, CEO of OQYANA World First.

“In this regard, our designers have also revised the layout of the master plan to ensure the best island shape and orientation for water flow,  in addition to improving water transportation routes and privacy for residents,” Dr. AlSuwayeh added.

The design remains true to its vision of being a car-free community, optimising the health benefits of the marine-themed paradise. Some of the features of the original master plan have likewise been preserved in the final version, including the unique double water frontage, with a private beach on one side and private mooring facilities on the other, for its wide selection of elegant homes.
