Having
neighbors is overrated, which is why you might want to consider claiming one of
the world’s first floating islands. Christie’s International Real Estate has
unveiled their plan’s to build the Amillarah Private Islands starting in the
Maldives
The collection
of luxury atolls are the first of their kind. The high-end islands are fully
self-sufficient and eco-friendly. Each floating island will be fully customized
according to the owner’s liking. The Amillarah atolls will be able to host huge
mansions, pools and even their own beachfronts. While the project plans to
start in the Maldives, there are also plans to expand in Dubai and Miami.
Christie’s
is creating these beauties in collaboration with architect Koen Olthuis and
designers Dutch Docklands. The designs will ensure that the islands are
‘completely stable and safe from rising sea levels.’ Being environmentally
friendly played an essential role in the creation of Amillarah. Christie’s
hired Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ocean Futures Society to craft completely
eco-conscious islands. Cousteau’s research and design will even create new
underwater habitats for aquatic life. When you think about it, buying your own
private floating island is kind of like donating to a sea life charity.

In
announcing the collaboration with Dutch Docklands, the CEO of Christie’s
International Real Estate Dan Conn states that ‘The opportunity to literally
develop a private island on a body of water is a testament to Dutch Dockland’s
skills in this arena. Buyers are able to customize the size, shape and style of
their residence, within the broadest range of locations, beginning with this
first opportunity in the Maldives.’
In addition
Rick Moeser, who is Christie’s senior vice president said, ‘Each of these homes
is an eco-friendly work of art that can be lived in, allowing consumers to not
only create, but enjoy whatever kind of paradise they desire.’
On top of
the private islands there are also plans to develop a floating resort, the
Ocean Flower, which will also take residence in the Maldives. This project has
the support of the country’s government and will boast a stunning 185
waterfront villas, all with private pools, shops and restaurants. It will be
awesome.
