SHA Island will debut as the UAE’s first longevity and wellness island, slated to welcome its first residents in 2027.

Designed for health‑focused living, the project will feature 137 homes equipped with circadian lighting, advanced air‑purification systems and natural materials. Residents will also have access to a Movement Pavilion, a Hydrotherapy Circuit, a Mind & Body Pavilion and a nutrition pavilion, creating a self‑contained wellness ecosystem.

The development is a joint effort between IMKAN Properties and the internationally recognised SHA Wellness brand. Together they will bring award‑winning preventive medicine programmes and personalised longevity services to a luxury residential setting.

Wellness‑focused design and services

Every residence integrates health‑centred technology, from lighting that aligns with natural rhythms to air filters that maintain optimal indoor quality. The community’s shared facilities reinforce daily healthy habits, offering spaces for movement, hydrotherapy, mental wellbeing and nutrition guidance.

By embedding these features into the architecture, the island aims to support longer, healthier lives without sacrificing the comforts of high‑end living.

Prime coastal location with easy city links

SHA Island sits on Al Jurf Island, positioned between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, providing a quiet coastal setting while remaining within a short drive of both cities and major airports. Future transport links are planned to further improve connectivity.

The exclusive community will comprise only 137 residences – 51 luxury apartments, 19 garden villas and 67 beachfront or shoreline villas – with some villas priced up to AED 130 million. This limited supply underscores the development’s premium status.
