Shamal Holding has unveiled a landmark partnership with Cheval Blanc, the luxury hospitality brand under LVMH, to bring the first Cheval Blanc maison to Dubai.
Set to open in 2029, the ultra-luxury resort will be located on a secluded private island, offering an exclusive blend of architectural elegance, beachfront serenity, and the refined emotional luxury for which Cheval Blanc is renowned.
The maison will feature 30 suites and 40 private pool villas, each reflecting Cheval Blanc’s unique design philosophy: contemporary yet timeless, immersive yet serene.
According to the statement, a limited number of branded beachfront residences will offer an extraordinary opportunity for ownership – combining elegant, understated design with seamless access to the full suite of Cheval Blanc services.
Every space will be crafted with intention, honoring the island’s natural setting while elevating the experience of modern luxury. Architecture and interiors will embody the maison’s quiet sophistication, an aesthetic of light, flow, and unforced beauty.
Anchored in Cheval Blanc’s ethos of art de recevoir, the retreat will offer personalized wellness rituals, elevated dining journeys, and curated lifestyle moments designed to inspire connection, presence, and tranquillity.
This development forms part of Cheval Blanc’s selective international expansion strategy with the ambition to create distinctive destinations that reflect the brand’s commitments while meeting the expectations of its most discerning guests. Further, as part of a carefully curated portfolio, this project reflects the high level of dedication of Shamal Holding and Cheval Blanc to innovation, refinement and positioning.
It also marks an exciting step forward for Shamal Holding as it continues to curate and develop exciting firsts for the region, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a destination for exceptional, world-class experiences in line with the Dubai 2030 vision.
