Bulgari Hotels & Resorts announced on Thursday an agreement to open a new Bulgari Resort & Mansions in Abu Dhabi, scheduled to welcome guests in 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.
