Harrisoni La Mer Villas, XBD Collective

Imagine waking up each morning to the sound of waves gently lapping against the shore, with the iconic Burj Khalifa silhouetted against a backdrop of the rising sun. This isn’t a dream, but the reality that awaits at Harrisoni La Mer Villas, where Almal Investments redefines the concept of luxurious living.

Located on the stunning La Mer Island, Harrisoni La Mer Villas provides a serene retreat amidst the bustling metropolis of Dubai. This unique island setting offers residents the perfect balance of seclusion and proximity to the city’s iconic landmarks. With the city centre and Burj Khalifa just a 10-minute drive away, and the pristine shoreline a mere 100 meters from their homes, residents can enjoy both the tranquillity of island life and the vibrancy of urban living.

Each villa spans a generous 1,000 square meters and is set within an exclusive community that embraces the best of seaside living. From the fresh air and breathtaking views to the calming sound of the waves, the environment fosters a sense of peace and luxury. The villas also feature a roof terrace that offers panoramic views of the Burj Khalifa and the city skyline, blending natural beauty with urban sophistication. The name “Harrisoni” is inspired by a rare coral species native to the Arabian Gulf, symbolising the villas’ unique and unmatched characteristics.

The design of Harrisoni La Mer Villas is the work of XBD Collective, an internationally renowned architecture and interior design firm. The villas embody a seamless blend of luxury and practicality, drawing on Miami-style architecture infused with traditional Arabic elements. The exteriors are a harmonious combination of materials such as glass, metal, wood, and textured natural stone, creating a look that marries natural elements with modern design.

The villas are designed to capture the essence of the island’s coastal charm. Large windows and glass doors maximise views and strengthen the connection between the interiors and the surrounding environment. Natural materials like limestone and wood are used to complement the modern design, emphasising clean lines and minimalist aesthetics. The landscaping and carefully selected colour palette, inspired by desert and ocean tones, further enhance the villas’ modern yet coastal appeal.

Inside, the villas continue to impress with their luxurious interior design, which features premium furniture to create an inspiring and relaxing environment. The neutral colour scheme, highlighted by Greek marble flooring and natural teak wood accents, adds warmth without overwhelming the space. Each room is thoughtfully designed to provide a sanctuary of sophistication and comfort.

Mohammad Khader, Head of Developments at Almal Investments, highlighted “The newly launched Harrisoni La Mer Villas project marks a significant milestone in our commitment to redefining upscale luxury living. Our strategic positioning within prestigious communities like La Mer ensures that our properties benefit from the allure of exclusive locations while providing easy access to the vibrant city centre.

Sustainability is a key focus of the development, with eco-friendly materials like AAC blocks and mineral wool insulation used in the construction. The villas also incorporate sustainable technologies, including solar panels and energy-efficient motorised louvres, to minimise their environmental impact. Beyond the Harrisoni La Mer Villas, Almal Investments has forged a strategic partnership with Al Marjan Island, investing $150 million in a 400-key entertainment hotel in Ras Al-Khaimah.
