Dubai’s landscape is going through a series of innovative changes that is making it one of the prime tourist destinations amongst elite international jetsetters seeking creative ways to spend their millions. A popular area offering premium investment is the Palm Islands, an exclusive set of artificial islands that have been Dubai’s most recent claim to luxury fame, as it has been designed in the shape of a palm, with elite residential and leisure properties gracing each “frond”. As of now, only one island of the three planned, the Palm Jumeirah, has been officially opened to the public, and it saw completion within a mere four years. You will encounter an exquisite array of fine hotels in Palm Jumeirah, and if you are seeking five star accommodation to host your stay in Dubai, consider The Palm, which is a luxury Palm Jumeirah hotel. The Jumeirah features one of the world’s only 7-star hotels, the Burj Al-Arab, as well as elite residential properties, which counts David Beckham and his family amongst its exclusive tenants, who moved in during the summer of 2007. The islands present a special allure primarily owing to their unique construction methods, which involves dredging sand from the bed of the Persian Gulf and sprayed from dredging ships in a process known as “rainbowing”, due to arc of the sand-spray in action. This stunning rearrangement of the natural world is frequently considered by many to claim the title of the eighth wonder of the world, a testament to humankind’s ingenuity and creativity.
