Villa del Garda – First-Row Serviced Residence on Dubai Islands
Villa del Garda is a first-row serviced boutique residence located directly on the marina and the open waters of the Arabian Gulf within Dubai Islands. The project is conceived as a fully branded residential environment, combining low-density architecture, hotel-level services, and a private waterfront setting.
Developed as a seven-storey building with a dedicated club-level parking floor, Villa del Garda is positioned for buyers seeking privacy, refined lifestyle services, and a turnkey living experience within one of Dubai’s most prestigious island destinations.
First-Row Marina Living Concept
Villa del Garda is conceived as a first-row marina residence where daily life unfolds directly at the water’s edge. The project is about experience: waking up to open marina views, stepping onto generous terraces, and living in constant visual and physical connection with the sea. Every residence is positioned to prioritise privacy, calm, and uninterrupted waterfront presence.
Curated Collection of Residences
Villa del Garda offers a deliberately limited residential collection, ranging from refined one-bedroom apartments to expansive five-bedroom homes and duplex residences. With only 135 units in total, the project maintains a boutique scale that supports discretion, personal space, and a sense of exclusivity rarely found in larger waterfront developments.
Fully Furnished Residences
All residences at Villa del Garda are delivered fully furnished and fully equipped, following a unified interior concept developed specifically for the project. Furniture, finishes, and detailing are coordinated to create a consistent residential identity, allowing owners to experience a complete branded living environment from day one, without additional fit-out or customisation.
Italian Design, Materials & Fashion-Led Details
The interior concept draws on Italian design heritage, combining natural stone, bespoke joinery, and refined finishes with fashion-led details. Poolside lounges, cabanas, umbrellas, towels, and robes are curated by Dolce & Gabbana Casa, extending the brand experience beyond interiors into shared lifestyle spaces and reinforcing the Mediterranean character of the residence.
Branded Amenities & Resident Privileges
Residents enjoy access to an infinity marina pool furnished with Dolce & Gabbana Casa cabanas, loungers, umbrellas, towels, and bathrobes, creating a private resort atmosphere within the residence. Daily life is supported by hotel-level services, including concierge and estate management, valet parking, weekly in-residence housekeeping, a private café and restaurant with in-house barista service, wellness and fitness facilities, and a curated programme of à la carte services.
Location — Island A, Dubai Islands
Villa del Garda is situated on Dubai Islands, directly fronting the marina and the Arabian Gulf. The location combines a first-row waterfront setting with convenient access to mainland Dubai via Infinity Bridge. Residents benefit from proximity to beaches, marina promenades, and coastal leisure infrastructure while remaining within a comfortable driving distance of Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport.

Investment Appeal of Villa del Garda By Mr.8 Development
Villa del Garda combines a first-row waterfront setting with a branded residential concept and long-term residency benefits, positioning the project as a focused investment opportunity on Dubai Islands.
Villa del Garda is located directly on the waterfront, overlooking the marina and the open waters of the Arabian Gulf. This first-line position secures unobstructed sea views, strong lifestyle appeal, and sustained demand.
As a branded residential project by Mr. Eight Development, Villa del Garda reflects a consistent design language, curated interiors, and a boutique residential scale. Branded residences benefit from higher perceived quality, stronger tenant appeal, and enhanced resale liquidity.
Qualifying property values at Villa del Garda allow eligible buyers to apply for the UAE Golden Visa. This allows eligible buyers to obtain long-term residency in the UAE, providing legal residency status linked to property ownership without the need for local sponsorship.
Location Advantages of Villa del Garda at Dubai Islands
Villa del Garda is located on Dubai Islands — Island A (The Central Island), in a waterfront setting shaped around marinas, promenades, and beach-facing neighbourhoods. The address gives the project what most buyers actually care about on Dubai Islands: immediate access to the sea, open horizons toward the Arabian Gulf, and a walkable shoreline environment where the public realm is built around the coastline.
The master plan around Island A is designed as a mixed-use coastal destination. It combines marina zones and marina village-style infrastructure with resort components, beachfront districts, and landscaped public routes—so everyday movement happens along promenades, not highways. This type of planning typically supports stronger long-term demand because it creates continuous activity from residents, visitors, and hospitality users.
Dubai Islands also integrates large-scale lifestyle anchors across the wider area: beach clubs, wellness and eco-resort components, sports and aquatic facilities, and multiple golf destinations (including both 9-hole and 18-hole formats). In parallel, the plan includes retail and dining nodes, a central mall function, and a dedicated arts/cultural district—elements that keep the location relevant beyond seasonal tourism cycles.
Connectivity is one of the practical advantages of Island A: the islands are linked to mainland Dubai via road connections, supporting efficient access to Deira, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport. For residents, that translates into an island lifestyle with daily-city convenience—waterfront calm at home, and straightforward travel to business districts, schools, and the airport when needed.
