The World Islands is located approximately 2.5 miles off the coast of Jumeirah. The collection of man-made islands are shaped into the continents of the world, and will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands, according to the development company Nakheel Properties Group.
There have been several high profile investors associated with the World Islands, including Virgin Chairman Richard Branson and Angelina Jolie, but the majority of these individual freehold properties are expected to be tourist attractions, hotels and possibly timeshare.
