Everything you're looking
at behind me is on man
made land.
Oh, no, that's crazy.
This is that same house,
but it feels like
I'm at like,
a five star hotel.
and this is the snow room
Oh, my God.
So underwater.
I'm literally underwater
right now.
A great place
to come
with a cup of hot
chocolate.
Pretend like you're
in the mountains of Sweden.
I am actually right here
in this villa.
So the World Island's
basically a part of 300
small islands.
These are manmade islands
and even mood lighting
Yes, it has an elevator.
This sauna is
literally bigger
than most hotels on it.
This is crazy.
You have five
stories in this room.
Wait.
5,500,000 dollars.
Welcome to the World
Islands.
Today, I'm
getting access
to what's
called the heart of Europe,
where I'm
going inside
one of the first hotels
to open
after almost two decades
in the making.
Then I'm
going inside this
$7 million floating
villa upstairs.
You have beautiful views,
but downstairs is
where you sleep
in a real life aquarium.
And I'm ending
at this palace
located in this
Sweden island.
This is so crazy
because it has a elevator,
a snow room,
and this insane
rooftop lounge.
Oh, and all of it
is designed by Bentley
the price.
$27 million.
This is the World Islands.
It's literally
a map of the world
which has been constructed
into manmade islands.
It's only a short boat
ride off
the coast of Dubai.
The idea came to life
almost 20 years ago.
But with a project
of this scale,
you can imagine
it's going to take a while.
So ten years later,
the Lebanon island was
the only one
that was developed
commercially and used
for private events
and parties.
Fast forward
to today,
where more islands
are preparing to open.
The idea here
is that wealthy
people in
Dubai
can have a second home
that feels like
they're on vacation.
So instead of
hopping on a flight
to the Maldives
or Mauritius,
they can grab a short boat
ride to their island.
This project faced concern
and even rumors
that some islands
were literally sinking.
And there are
other complications
to think about, too,
like getting electricity,
fresh water,
dealing with trash,
or even
getting a pizza delivered.
We don't deliver.
But you do.
So over
here, you've got Dubai
and over here.
I am currently in the World
Island.
That's
what you see over here.
This is called
the heart of Europe,
and it's largely inspired
and themed off
of different places
in France.
That's where
I'm standing now.
I'm actually standing
right in this hotel.
An entire hotel
just opened,
making it
the first
hotel on the Dubai
World Island.
It's located
on the Argentina Island.
But I'm coming to
the France
and Monaco Islands
where I find this
brand new hotel
It's called Qatar Asia,
and they're putting
the finishing
touches as I arrive.
This is supposed to open in
two months.
It's going
to be interesting
to see
if they can pull it off
And the units behind me,
you can actually own
your own unit.
It's freehold.
Kind of like a
timeshare, though.
And then you
get a couple of weeks
every year to use it
as your own.
But it will be
an operating hotel.
So most people here
will be
hotel guests
coming for a few nights
or a week or whatever.
This is all designed
to feel like you're
in the French Riviera.
This is really stunning,
to be honest.
And it's so crazy
to remind yourself
that you're
literally
standing on a fake
manmade island
because Dubai can
get very hot.
They even created a section
where they will literally
make it rain so you.
Can cool off.
Quite interesting.
I mean,
I've never seen anything
like this.
I'm in the middle
of nowhere.
On a brand new island
with the brand new hotel.
It's a whole new feeling.
Over here you have
what's going to be Italy.
This is Venice
inspired villas.
You have water all around
you walk out your door
and there's water.
That construction
still needs to start
on that.
And then behind me
over here,
let's go to Germany.
Lots of like huge,
beautiful villas
you don't have a big hotel
like you have
over on the French side.
Germany is more private
villas.
There are 300
manmade islands here.
But in addition to those,
you'll also find
floating villas,
including this one I find,
which is literally
for the police.
Talk about a luxury
police station over there.
Behind me
is the island of Lebanon.
At one point.
Lebanon
Island was on sale
for $22 million,
but now it's
time to go inside
a residential one.
There are more than 130
of these floating villas.
The price
of buying
your very own floating
villa is about five and a
half million dollars.
Oh. No.
Wow.
That's crazy.
I'm literally underwater
right now,
and I'm in this bedroom,
and these are real
fish, real coral.
And this is crazy.
This reminds me
of those famous wheats
you see in the Maldives,
except it's here in Dubai.
And this is quite a view.
It's not just a bedroom,
but they also have
a bathroom here.
I can't even imagine
how it would feel
to take a hot
shower underwater.
This is quite a view.
There are actually
two bedrooms downstairs.
Both of them have a view
and underwater view
with the coral,
the fish and,
of course, water.
And although it is
a floating house,
I have to say
the dining room
and living room
do feel quite spacious.
Next,
I head to the top floor.
So over here,
you have a nice lounger,
you've got a place
for food.
And over here is a Jacuzzi,
which would be kind
of nice, especially on a
on a breezier night.
But what's really
cool up here
is you have almost
almost 360
degree views
of the entire area,
water, land,
quite fascinating.
I mean,
you feel like
you're on a luxury yacht,
but you're not it's
not it's not rocking.
It's not shaking.
It doesn't move.
If a floating
villa is a bit too small,
don't worry,
because head over
to the Sweden island
and you will find
the Swedish
Bentley palaces.
This is it.
This is one of the ten
villas on this island.
The price.
27 million. Dollars.
This is next
level luxury,
especially because
everything here
is designed by Bentley.
Almost everywhere
you look in this home,
you will see the
Bentley logo,
which feels so weird
considering
there are no cars on
these islands.
There are only ten
of these mansions
on the entire island.
When you walk into
the mansion,
you're welcomed
by this huge dining
and living room. Here.
You will have your own
private pool,
which is huge,
and this private beach
all to yourself.
The palace
has seven bedrooms.
The first is here
on the ground floor.
You have five
stories in the ceiling.
Bedroom,
other bedrooms, lobby,
and then, of course, gym
and kitchen.
Yes, it has an elevator
and industrial
grade kitchen.
So your crew, your staff
can come and make
elaborate meals for
a lot of people's salary.
The gym, spa,
quite a large sauna.
I mean,
this is what you would get
at a big hotel.
This is the same size.
And this is this.
No, no.
Oh, my God, no.
Stop.
So the early snow in Dubai.
I'm in Dubai right now.
And this villa has a snowy
it's a great place
to come
with a cup of hot chocolate
and just pretend
like you're
in the mountains of Sweden.
As crazy as this is,
the purpose is this.
Imagine you work
out in the gym,
go for a massage,
use the sauna
for detoxifying.
But after all this,
the pores on your face
are going to be open.
So this snow is perfect
to make you feel fresh.
Now we're going
to another floor
where the master
bedroom is.
I like how they don't
even have a kitchen
on the ground floor.
Because obviously,
you live here. You don't.
Wow.
What's the master bedroom?
This is carved out of a
single slab of stone.
There's no crack, no joint.
This is one big stone.
And it's not cheap.
This tub alone
is worth $270,000.
Yes, for a tub.
This is the kid's bedroom.
And, yes,
also designed by Bentley.
You can really tell
that Bentley
designed the furniture
because this
looks like an oversize
car seat.
And then you've got
the nice Bentley logo here.
This closet is huge.
In fact, it's
bigger than a lot
of people's
entire bedrooms.
So you've got a shower.
We call it
Jacuzzi, bubble bath,
multiple sinks,
quite impressive.
Massive Very, very,
very spacious, I guess.
Just trying to sell this
bubble bath every night.
Even mood lighting.
OK, I'm curious now
to go to the top floor.
This is that same
house, but
it feels like
I'm at like a five star
hotel on. Their rooftop.
I was totally not
expecting this.
This is a massive lounge
where you will host
events, entertain
your guests,
and it also makes
for a great teacher lounge.
And because Dubai
can get very hot,
it's all indoors.
But with a nice outdoor
feel.
Right now
within the World
Islands of Dubai.
I'm actually
right here in this villa
on this island
that's kind of modeled
after Sweden.
There are only ten villas.
So here I am.
I'm in the rooftop of
this villa,
as you can see,
all of them.
Most of these palaces
have already been sold
to him.
The ultra
rich are ready to move in
so this one that I'm in
is one of the last ones
remaining to be sold.
Overall,
I really liked the island
life.
I'm quite impressed
with what
they're building here.
Absolutely. Blew my mind.
I knew little
about the World Islands up
until now, but overall,
I like it.
I like the lifestyle.
I like the homes, love
the design.
The only thing
I'm wondering,
though, is if I can
get a pizza delivery here.
