Project general facts

Conceived to offer residents expansive land parcels, spectacular city panoramas, and unparalleled privacy, ZUHA represents an exclusive boutique sanctuary featuring just 30 limited-edition private residences. These exceptional homes are positioned around the crystalline waters that embrace this remarkable island, spanning over 2.5 million square feet with 2.5 kilometers of pristine beachfront surrounded by lush tropical landscapes.
The 30 exclusive villas mirror the ocean's rhythm while harmonizing with ZUHA's natural environment. These magnificent waterfront properties, nestled around the gem-like waters, enable homeowners to immerse themselves in ZUHA's captivating essence and energy. The island also features a world-class boutique retreat, luxury spa facilities, and exceptional dining venues. These grand residential villas are meticulously crafted to deliver expansive land plots, direct beach access, stunning city vistas, and complete seclusion. Each residence captures the island's essence in one fluid gesture—a masterpiece as distinctive as its owner.
Beginning with fundamental geometric shapes positioned on individual plots, the initial design concept aimed to elevate these villas—welcoming the island's influence from every direction while maximizing the spectacular city panorama. Four distinctive levels ascend from beachfront to endless horizon, organized around a central spiraling staircase and opening to expansive terraces facing both the island and ocean. Building upon these foundational forms, ZAYA embraced the island's natural elements—sea, wind, and waves—as creative forces to inspire and mold each villa organically, ensuring it becomes an integral part of ZUHA's landscape.

Finishing and materials

Drawing inspiration from ZUHA's natural beauty, all interior spaces showcase cutting-edge furnishings and premium materials that honor and enhance the island's flowing lines, luminous quality, and distinctive form. Effortless integration between indoor and outdoor living is accomplished through sophisticated neutral color schemes and organic materials including travertine and marble, which flow throughout each of the six en-suite bedrooms—featuring a master suite with ocean panoramas. Four distinct living areas, multiple outdoor terraces, and various dining zones each contribute refined elegance that complements the overall aesthetic.
Water, restoration, tranquility, and refuge represent core principles that define ZUHA's ethos and amplify its allure. These concepts are embodied in the extraordinary bathrooms throughout the residential villas. Utilizing ambient lighting, ocean vistas, and complete privacy, experience the luxurious essence of the island's flowing character within one of six sophisticated bathrooms.
