Mr. Eight Development announces the launch of Villa del GAVI, its second project on Dubai Islands
To celebrate the launch, Mr. Eight Development will host a private unveiling event at the Atlantis The Royal on May 03, 2025. The exclusive gathering will welcome Hollywood celebrities, industry visionaries, investors and VIP guests, offering a first look at one of Dubai Islands' most anticipated developments.
Perfectly positioned on the Island's first coastline and just steps from pristine waters, Villa del GAVI offers 87 bespoke residences, ranging from spacious two- to four-bedroom apartments, including 3-bedroom + maid configurations. Every home of the 12-floor residential tower is designed to capture the tranquility of the Arabian Gulf through expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, open-concept living areas and private balconies with breathtaking water views.
Villa del GAVI showcases exceptional interior craftsmanship and design collaborations. Residences are outfitted with Italian Silver Travertine Stone Romano, Calacatta Viola marble, Fabel Casa kitchens and wardrobes from Italy, high-end SMEG appliances and bespoke bathroom fixtures by acclaimed British designer Tom Dixon.
'Following the overwhelming success of Villa del DIVOS, we are delighted to introduce Villa del GAVI to the Dubai Islands,' said Emils Daujats, Director at Mr. Eight Development. 'This new project is the natural next step in our commitment to crafting exceptional living spaces in Dubai's most sought-after locations. Villa del GAVI offers a unique opportunity to experience luxurious beachfront living with unparalleled amenities and we have already had considerable interest in the project with 38% of our units already reserved prior to the official launch. Notably, Villa del GAVI will stand out by offering exclusively two-bedroom residences and above. There will be no one-bedroom units in this development, as we are focused on creating more spacious, livable homes.'
Villa del GAVI is crafted to provide not only a luxurious home, but an immersive lifestyle. Residents will enjoy two infinity-edge swimming pools, a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness center, a private residents' clubhouse and an artfully curated lobby showcasing furniture by Cassina, Minotti and lighting by Tom Dixon, FLOS and ZONDA. Signature accents like Lalique crystal installations and LASVIT glass artworks elevate the shared spaces into environments of elegance and inspiration.
The development is also conveniently located just 20 minutes from Downtown Dubai, the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the iconic Dubai Mall, ensuring seamless access to the city's business and entertainment hubs. The surrounding neighborhood includes private beaches, two championship golf courses, a high-end shopping mall and access to world-class healthcare.
Residents of Mr. Eight's Dubai Island developments will be granted membership to an exclusive Priority Club, which includes access to chauffeur-driven Rolls-Royce cars, a luxury Riva motorboat with captain, private golf carts and a menu of à la carte services from in-residence spa treatments and personal training to housekeeping, childcare and 24-hour emergency maintenance.
To maintain its world-class standards, Mr. Eight Development has also established a dedicated service management company, overseeing every aspect of the resident experience with precision and care.
Residences at Villa del GAVI start from AED 3.6 million for a two-bedroom unit, three-bedroom units from AED 6.4 million and AED 9.5 million for four-bedroom layouts.
The project handover is scheduled for Q4 2027. Mr. Eight Development is also offering flexible payment plan, allowing buyers to pay 35% during construction and the remaining upon handover.

Mare Mare debuts new menu by chef Michele Minchillo inspired by classic Italian cuisine
Our fav seaside spot Mare Mare has got an update and we could not be more excited to try it. The laidback Italian eatery by the sea at Jumeirah Saadiyat Island is turning a new chapter with a fresh menu crafted by chef Michele Minchillo, the restaurant's new Chef de Cuisine. With a career that spans MICHELIN-starred kitchens in Italy, London, Dubai and New York, Chef Minchillo is bringing a whole lot of passion and precision to the table. His newly launched menu is a tribute to honest Italian cooking with a refined twist. The focus is firmly on fresh ingredients and keeping things simple. So don't be surprised to find mains like the branzino al forno, a baked sea bass served with roasted potatoes, cherry tomatoes and parsley or a dentince alla Mediterranea, a red sea bream served with seafood sauce, tomato, capers and lemon olive tapenade on the new menu. You'll enjoy familiar classics like the delicate crudi like tartara di tonno with yellowfin tuna, avocado and mango, or a tartara di manzo made with Angus beef, mushrooms, black truffle and a sharp Dijon mustard dressing. Things get even more interesting when you dive into the antipasti. Think slow-cooked veal loin with tuna sauce and capers in the vitello tonnato, or grilled octopus layered with capsicum sauce and olive croutons in the polpo alla brace. But of course, the carbs are not to be missed. The pizza selection includes the punchy diavola, while the pasta lineup gives you rustic comfort with dishes like maltagliati all'anatra, fresh pasta with duck ragu and mint leaves. And because no Italian menu is complete without a sweet finale, you'll want to save room for dessert. Expect traditional crowd-pleasers like tiramisu, panna cotta and a rich torta caprese. Ready for your next seaside escapade? You know where to go. Peruse the new menu:
