Bulgari to open luxury island resort in Abu Dhabi by 2030
The new destination will be nestled on a private, horseshoe-shaped island off the city's iconic corniche and will be accessible via a purpose-built bridge or by sea.
The project's luxury resort will feature 60 guest rooms spread across various levels, including two signature Bulgari Suites and a Bulgari Penthouse. Additionally, 30 beachside villas will each have a private pool, while the five-bedroom, 1,200-square-metre Bulgari Villa will be complete with a private beach, 20-metre pool, and private park.
Signature experiences at the resort will include Bulgari's Il Caffè, the Bulgari Dolci boutique known for artisanal Italian confections, and La Galleria, a concept store featuring curated pieces by local and international designers.
A 2,000-square-metre Bulgari Spa will offer a 25-metre indoor pool, a 1,000-square-metre fitness centre, and an outdoor deck with sea views. Dining will include Il Ristorante – Niko Romito, helmed by the Michelin-starred chef, along with the exclusive Japanese concept Hōseki, a refined Turkish restaurant, La Spiaggia beachfront dining, and the iconic Bulgari Bar.
The resort will also be home to a Yacht Club with a private beach, 40-berth marina, and exclusive membership offerings. A grand ballroom on the city-facing side will provide a dedicated venue for events and banqueting.
The residential component will feature 90 private mansions ranging from 1,650 to 2,500 square metres, with eight exclusive estates each offering their own private beach.
The development's architecture and design will be curated by Milanese firm ACPV Architects Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel, with the landscape, designed by fellow Milanese studio Land SRL.
The project is being developed in partnership with Eagle Hills, an Abu Dhabi-based private real estate company founded by Mohamed Alabbar.

Aviteur launches capsule with Harrods exclusive ahead of US debut
Luxury luggage and accessories brand Aviteur has unveiled a Travel Capsule Collection that has just launched exclusively at Harrods in London. Ahead of its US launch, the label (which was founded by Patricia Gucci who remains creative director), said the partnership with 'one of the world's most iconic department stores marks a key milestone in Aviteur's global brand evolution'. The star piece in the collection is the all-new Carry-On 25, joined by three core styles: the Weekender, Duffle, and Laptop Case. The items are all produced in Italy and the company said the new capsule 'continues Aviteur's legacy of blending old-world craftsmanship with contemporary sophistication'. What that means in practice is an interesting mix of materials with a lightweight, aviation-grade polycarbonate shell, wrapped in Italian leather, lined in washable Alcantara, and finished with Aviteur's signature woven rattan-inspired texture. Available in walnut and black, these pieces are ultra-luxury — with prices ranging from £2,950 for the Carry-on 25, up to £8,975 for the full set. As mentioned, it's launched at Harrods first and will also be available at Just One Eye in Los Angeles and via Aviteur's own webstore.
