When it comes to hospitality, the UAE never slows down. From sky-high towers to luxury beachfront resorts, each new opening keeps pushing the boundaries. Now, LVMH’s prestigious hospitality branch, Cheval Blanc, is bringing its signature French flair to Dubai in the most exclusive way possible.
In partnership with Shamal Holding, Cheval Blanc Maison Dubai will debut in Dubai with a one-of-a-kind private island retreat, set to open in 2029. Surrounded by the calm waters of the Arabian Gulf, this intimate escape marks the maison’s first foray into the region. It will join the global portfolio that Cheval Blanc has, including Courchevel, the Maldives, Paris, St. Tropez, and many more.
Dubai is no stranger to luxury, but this launch promises something altogether more refined. Think 30 light-filled suites and 40 private pool villas, each crafted with their own signature design ethos, timeless, elegant, and grounded in place. The island will also be home to a limited number of branded residences, offering an exclusive opportunity to live within one of the world’s most renowned hospitality experiences.
The setting itself is the definition of barefoot elegance. Quietly tucked away from the city, positioned just off the Jumeirah coastline, Naïa Island Dubai will be home to Cheval Blanc. The location blends coastal serenity with world-class design. Every element, from architecture to interiors, has been imagined to reflect its natural surroundings, while elevating the standard for luxury island living.

The retreat will offer guests personalised wellness rituals, carefully curated lifestyle moments, and fine dining deeply rooted in French savoir-faire. Cheval Blanc Dubai will be a reimagining of what the future of hospitality in the region looks like. One where intimacy, beauty, and emotion are placed at the heart of every stay.
As Dubai continues to define itself as a destination for premium travel and lifestyle, the arrival of Cheval Blanc will be something for those who seek something truly rare. The countdown has already begun.
