Traveling to magical and tropical Colombia is possible within Dubai. Dubai opens its doors to the world through ambitious projects that aim to conquer all territories, including Colombia. In The World, the millionaire development that also has abandoned sites, this portion of Latin America is ideal for luxury lovers and the object of desire for multimillionaires.
The island is part of this complex, which was created precisely for that: a destination of exuberance and exclusivity for lovers of crystal-clear waters, eccentric locations, and dream destinations. In the archipelago of The World, the experience is complete and includes resorts, high-end residences, and shopping centers. A true paradise in the middle of the desert.
Colombia, a portion of Latin America in Dubai
The World was created to recreate the entire world with its continents in a smaller proportion. Therefore, those who have the pleasure of visiting it can enjoy a portion of each culture among the 300 islands that make up this enormous project. Those who wish to access this piece of land can do so via yacht or helicopter and enjoy the finest amenities.
This space is built with compacted sand and rock, covering between 1.4 and 4.2 hectares and separated by water channels ranging from 50 to 100 meters. Its formation had a very clear intention: to attract buyers and developers from around the world so that large tourist complexes could be established there. Although it faced some challenges, this island complex also aims to be a major focus of investors and new advancements in the world.
The World Islands in Dubai
The World Islands was an ambitious project that began in 2001, with the main idea being to recreate the continents of the planet, creating ideal spaces for tourism development with hotel complexes and other top-tier constructions. However, it did not turn out to be as incredible as expected, as the 2008 crisis left some of these artificial lands in the middle of nowhere with no construction history.
Each of these pieces of land is valued at over 40 million dollars and covers an approximate area of seven kilometers. Due to the investment complications that arose in 2008, some entrepreneurs abandoned these plots, leaving many of them deserted. However, others host grand luxury hotels available for travelers, attractive restaurants, and leisure and relaxation areas.
An idea that aimed to attract major investors in Dubai
The history of The World in Dubai reflects that not everything that glitters is gold in a city where real estate success is the cornerstone of the economy. The already mentioned 2008 crisis left this project 60 percent sold but abandoned to the fate of entrepreneurs who chose not to invest in it. Currently, four of these plots are operational, including four developed islands, one of which was donated to footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Pilot Michael Schumacher also received a fully equipped mansion in this complex. Experts argue that the success was not as expected in this location due to its limited connectivity with the emirate. As a result, the artificial island Palm Jumeirah is now one of the key areas of millionaire development in Dubai and an important hub for international tourism.
