Cheval Blanc to Debut in Dubai: A New Chapter in Ultra-Luxury Hospitality

Shamal Holding, a Dubai-based investment firm known for shaping some of the city’s most iconic destinations, has officially announced the arrival of Cheval Blanc Dubai — a first-of-its-kind project in partnership with the esteemed LVMH hospitality brand. This exclusive development will introduce Cheval Blanc’s first maison in the UAE, redefining beachfront luxury on a private island off the coast of Dubai.

Set to open in 2029, Cheval Blanc Dubai will be a secluded island retreat offering exceptional privacy, modern architectural elegance, and immersive natural surroundings. The development is positioned to become a global destination, combining Cheval Blanc’s signature approach to emotional luxury with Shamal’s bold vision for experiential placemaking.

The project will feature:

Each space will reflect Cheval Blanc’s refined design philosophy—contemporary, immersive, and rooted in quiet sophistication. The architectural style will emphasize natural light, flow, and effortless beauty, blending seamlessly into the island’s coastal landscape.

For a select few, the Cheval Blanc Dubai residences offer a rare chance to own beachfront real estate in one of the world’s most sought-after branded hospitality environments. Homeowners will enjoy full access to the signature Cheval Blanc services, including personalized wellness programs, haute cuisine dining, and curated lifestyle experiences.

This is more than a resort; it is a complete sensory retreat grounded in Art de Recevoir, the brand’s philosophy of thoughtful and elevated hospitality.

Cheval Blanc Dubai forms part of the brand’s carefully curated international expansion, which includes existing maisons in Courchevel, St. Barths, Paris, Randheli, and St. Tropez. The choice of Dubai reflects the city’s strategic importance as a hub for global luxury travel, wellness, and culture.

For Shamal Holding, the project underscores its commitment to delivering pioneering developments that support Dubai’s long-term tourism and real estate ambitions, in line with the Dubai 2030 vision.

With its ultra-private location, refined design, and world-class hospitality, Cheval Blanc Dubai is set to become one of the most prestigious destinations in the region — and a new icon in the global luxury landscape.
