Dubai is known for crazy, breathtaking projects like the world’s tallest building, indoor ski-slopes, man-made islands… The story that we are going to share with you is a perfect example of the city’s extravagant ambitions in terms of real estate. The ‘Floating Seahorse’ Project takes place in The World, an artificial archipelago shaped like the Earth’s continents. The first prototype has been unveiled last month.
About 130 partially submerged luxury villas are to be built in a cluster of islands known as ‘the Heart of Europe’ with islands named ‘Germany’ or ‘Switzerland’. Ninety of the villas will be located at heart-shaped ‘St. Petersburg’ island. Behind this project is Kleindienst Group, the real estate developer who owns the Heart of Europe.
These futuristic villas will vary in size but each will have three levels. There is a submerged level with underwater bedrooms and bathrooms where guests will have the pleasure to admire the marine life. Actually, the Floating Seahorse Project owes its name to the endangered species. Under the luxury villas, seahorses will have a protected area with artificial coral reef where they can live and breed safely. Not only is it a jaw-dropping view, but it is also an honorable gesture for the environment.
The sea level accommodation hosts modern and comfortable amenities: a kitchen, a dining area, floor to ceiling windows, a sundeck, and even a plunge pool.
Finally, the cherry on top: the upper level with its mini-bar and hot tub. Also, guests who will have the chance to stay on these floating homes will absolutely not feel alone and isolated: each villa is provided with a WiFi connection and the latest technology.
2,7 million dollar houseboat
Plans for the villas were first released last year. The first prototype has been unveiled a few weeks ago, and it is estimated that 50 floating seahorses will be completed by the end of the year. After successfully selling out the two first editions of the Floating Seahorse (the original ones and the Signature Edition), the Heart of Europe presented the third phase of their project: the Tzar Edition. The largest villas should be around 4000 square feet, and the most expensive ones should cost around 2,7 million dollars.
Innovations like this are what makes Dubai so special and appealing to tourists. Moreover, the project is so breathtaking that Kleindienst Group has caught the attention of investors from Saudi Arabia, Maldives, Seychelles, the Caribbean and Norway.
