The World is a phenomenal new development off the coast in Dubai. Constructed on reclaimed land, it takes the form of 300 man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world. It is only four kilometres off the shore of Jumeirah Village, close to the Palm Jumeirah and not far from the equally impressive development of The Palm. The 300 islands range in size from 150,000 sq. ft to 450,000 sq. feet and were sold on a freehold basis to selected investors. Each island will be utilized at the investors discretion but predominately will feature leisure, tourist or residential developments. Access to the World will only be possible via sea or air transport and the islands will feature world class marinas to berth the many boats, yachts and cruise liners of its residents. Two marinas located on the mainland will service four main hubs on the islands. Plans are also afoot to create a series of waterways, canal and lakes that will connect the various islands. Jasmine Garden is an exclusive, luxury resort located on the island of 'Thailand' within The World development.
