New chapter in waterfront luxury: H&H’s AED 30 billion Dubai Peninsula

The true measure of luxury isn’t just about how lavishly you can build; it lies in the intelligence to create a place where people want to live. The vision that H&H has for Dubai Peninsula is a testament to this: the flair to predict the evolution of the city, the elegance in allowing space to breath breathing, and the intelligence to transform a real estate development into a fully integrated residential ecosystem. It is a place where the most important brands in international hospitality– Aman, Capella, and Rosewood – meet ample gardens, promenades, a marina for super yachts, and facilities designed for the daily life.

Aside from lush brands and the exclusivity of the addresses, what makes this endeavor so significant is the sophisticated simplicity behind the concept: a neighborhood designed around people, where 80% of destinations and daily tasks can be accessed in no more than a 20-minutes walk. A vision in which luxury doesn’t mean just privileges, but also time that’s redeemed, along with freedom of movement, and a superior quality of life.

Developed by H&H on an 85 hectares plot, where the Dubai Canal meets the Persian Gulf, the Dubai Peninsula reunites private residences and luxury hotels, alongside gardens, leisure spaces and a marina for super yachts.

The general plan for the project includes both a secluded refuge, with private beach, but also a more social neighborhood, on the promenade, with restaurants and cafes, boutique shops, connected through intricate landscaped pedestrian alleys.

Moreover, Rosewood Residences Dubai launched its first sales at AED 10,000 per sqft, which marks a new stage in the development of the Dubai Peninsula.

At the heart of the development sits Central Park and will comprise of 2 million sqft of interlinked gardens.

The marina and the promenade will be connected by a 2-kilometer landscaped alley with a network of the most prestigious shopping and culinary destinations in the world, as well as with community facilities and residences and hotels.

“From the beginning, we wanted the landscape to be something people could genuinely use and enjoy, not simply something they look at from their homes,” Shahab Lutfi, H&H CEO says. “That means being able to walk through the gardens, move between different parts of Dubai Peninsula and reach the waterfront without having to navigate service roads or loading areas.”

Prioritizing pedestrian accessibility aligns to the city’s older milestones envisioned in the Dubai 2040 General Urban Plan. “The 20-minutes city” concept seeks to offer residents access to 80% of their daily destinations in no more than 20 minutes of either walking or biking.

The Dubai Peninsula adheres to the vision through its choice of proximity between residences, hotels, and retail and leisure spaces.

In order to keep up with the promise of an ecosystem designed around pedestrians, the parking, service routes and auxiliary infrastructure were designed beneath the park.

Aman, Capella, and Rosewood for the first time in Dubai

The CEO of H&H states that the decision to bring these brands came from a vision to come up with something distinctive from each partner, in terms of approach to hospitality, but also the unique character they can offer to this destination.

The Aman Dubai hotel and residences will be located in a 9-acres compound with gardens, lush, shade-friendly courtyards and aquatic elements. The project is designed by Kerry Hill Architects with a focus on space and privacy.

Another debut in the UAE is marked by Capella, scheduled for 2030. The hotel will feature 115 rooms and suites, rooftop restaurants and a pool. Designed by DENNISTON, company lead  by Jean-Michel Gathy, the hotel vision will be inspired by Dubai’s rich maritime heritage. The Capella Living Room concept will enable guests to meet the brand’s representatives, widely known as Culturists. They will designed custom itineraries so that guests can experiences the culture, boroughs, and  heritage of Dubai.

Rosewood’s debut in Dubai comes with exclusive waterfront hotel and residences along the curvy coastline of the Dubai Peninsula, with five unique residential villas. Capitalizing on the brand’s reputation in luxury hospitality, these residences are an expression of refinement in coastal lifestyle and attention to details. Owners will benefit from access to private beach, beach club, restaurants and wellness facilities, all carefully selected.

The project astonishes though its choice of reputed names in architecture and design, with Hopkins Architects for the architecture of residences, BANDA for the interior design, Jean-Michel Gathy, from DENNISTON designing the residential villas, and Greenways for landscaping. The collaboration successfully combines architecture, nature and exclusive design.

The first stage is scheduled to be completed in 2030.
