Jumeirah has opened a new cluster of ‘water villas’ at its all-suite Jumeirah Dhevanafushi hotel. Designed to make visitors feel as if they are in the middle of the ocean, the new villas sit on platforms suspended directly above the water, nearly a kilometer offshore from the main resort.
Dubbed ‘Ocean Pearls’, the cluster of villas is connected by a decking walkway, which allows residents to easily access the shared infinity pool, bar, seafood restaurant, elevated library and spa treatment rooms, which are also suspended above the water.
The villas measure 270 square meters or 340 square meters and each offers a deck at the rear overlooking the water, complete with a sunken bathtub and steps down, allowing for a dip in the Indian Ocean.
The Ocean Pearls also offer a 24-hour butler service, on hand to make sure that the journey from the circular arrival jetty — and everything else — goes as smoothly as possible.
