Dubai’s hospitality scene is about to welcome a new level of luxury. Shamal Holding, the UAE-based investment firm, has announced that Cheval Blanc will open its first property in the city. The resort will take shape on a private island and is expected to be ready by 2029.

This will mark the next addition to Cheval Blanc’s exclusive portfolio, which includes properties in St Tropez, the Maldives, Seychelles and St Barth. The Dubai project will follow the maison’s distinct design language while embracing the local setting.
What To Expect From The Island Retreat
The upcoming Cheval Blanc Dubai will feature 30 suites and 40 private pool villas. Each one will be built to reflect the brand’s aesthetic, clean, modern lines balanced with warm, subtle details. This isn’t a place chasing trends. Instead, the architecture will focus on flow and natural light, giving every guest space to breathe, unwind and reset.
What sets Cheval Blanc apart is how it handles hospitality. Every stay is designed around presence and emotion.
Wellness And Rejuvenation
It’ll be part of the rhythm of your stay. From the way treatments are tailored to how each ritual is delivered, everything will be built around what you truly need—physically, mentally, and emotionally. It is woven into every part of the guest experience from the moment you arrive. Think of it less as a spa day and more as a journey that brings you back to yourself.
The resort is expected to offer rituals that are quiet, thoughtful, and deeply personal, designed to slow things down and help you reset. Cheval Blanc has previously teamed up with iconic names like Guerlain and Dior for its spa offerings, and the Dubai retreat may follow the same path, pairing elegance with intention. Don’t expect a generic menu. Treatments will be shaped around how you feel and what your body actually needs.

Dining At Cheval Blanc Dubai
Every detail, from the setting to the flavours, will be considered. Not to impress, but to make it feel just right. It’s not just dining, but atmosphere, timing, and detail coming together to create something that lingers.
Menus will likely lean into fresh, seasonal ingredients, and though official details haven’t been revealed, Cheval Blanc’s reputation suggests that Dubai diners can expect high-level culinary direction.
Every design choice will honour the island’s natural surroundings while offering guests a modern, seamless escape from their daily routines.
