Inside Dubai’s US$204 million ‘Marble Mansion’ – the UAE’s most expensive home

Sat on the bank of the Dubai Water Canal, with views across to Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa, Eywa will boast 48 individual residences, ranging from two- to five-bedrooms and between 3,064 to 16,256 sq ft in floor area.

The most eye-catching aspect of the development is its structure, inspired not only by the sacred tree but also by Avatar Hallelujah Mountain, formerly known as Southern Sky Column, in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan, China.

The developer says Eywa is rooted in the concept of “wild luxury”, combining lifestyle elements like a chef’s table and library, with private waterfalls and hammocks.

Alex Zagrebelny, chairman and CEO of R.evolution, said, “It almost goes without saying why healthy and sustainable housing is so important. We take an active approach to reduce carbon footprint, minimise waste and use sustainable practices.”
