Designed to provide residents with generous plots of land, city skyline views and the utmost level of privacy, ZUHA is home to a world-class, boutique retreat and only 30 limited edition exclusive private residences, set around the bejeweled sea surrounding the island, which is over 2.5 million square feet with 2.5 kilometers of beachfront encircling rich greenery - and just 12 minutes from Jumeriah, island luxury living has never been this close.
