Welcoming globally minded buyers, investors, entrepreneurs and family offices, the event showcases an outstanding collection of residential opportunities across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, alongside exclusive presentations and thought-leadership discussions.

Highlights include an address from Mark Appleby, Director of Jewellery Services at Mappin & Webb and Crown Jeweller, a design panel featuring Charu Chandi, Founder of Elicyon - Claire Vallis Design Director of Sanderson and Claire German CEO of Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, exploring the future of sustainable interiors, and a live candle-making demonstration by renowned chandler Rachel Vosper. The programme also turns its focus to the future of global wealth, with Lucian Cook and Kelcie Sellers of Savills examining trends in wealth migration, buyer behaviour, emerging residential destinations and the evolving priorities shaping luxury property investment worldwide. More than a property showcase, the event is a celebration of the destinations, experiences and communities defining the future of global living.

The Middle East in Focus

Among the international developments being presented this year are two of the UAE's most significant residential opportunities, each representing a distinctive vision of luxury living and backed by some of the region's most influential names.

BAYN by ORA

A Connected Coastal Community

Positioned along the pristine Ghantoot coastline between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, BAYN Ghantoot by ORA is one of the most ambitious master-planned waterfront destinations currently under development in the Middle East. Its ambition lies in from the choice of location – Ghantoot – being one of the final remaining beachfront destinations.

Spanning more than 4.8 million square metres, BAYN has been conceived as an entirely new coastal ecosystem where residential, hospitality, wellness, education, leisure and retail experiences are seamlessly woven together. Rather than creating a conventional development, ORA has set out to establish a destination - one designed around a lifestyle defined by nature, water, wellbeing and connection. 

At the forefront of the masterplan sits Y Views, an exclusive beachfront neighbourhood designed to embrace panoramic sea views, expansive green landscapes and a slower, more considered rhythm of living. Built on an elevated hill, living in Y Views ensures a first-row view from each home. Positioned strategically between the UAE's two largest cities, the project offers a rare balance between accessibility and escape. 

The vision is driven by Naguib Sawiris, Founder and Chairman of ORA Developers. Widely recognised as one of the Middle East's most influential entrepreneurs, Sawiris transformed Orascom Telecom into one of the world's leading telecommunications companies before establishing ORA's growing portfolio of destination-led developments across Europe, Egypt, Cyprus, Pakistan and the Caribbean. BAYN represents ORA's first major venture into the UAE market and signals the company's long-term commitment to shaping the future of waterfront living in the region.  

For those seeking a future-facing community anchored by lifestyle, connectivity and long-term growth, BAYN is undoubtedly one of the most exciting projects currently emerging within the Gulf.

Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach

The Art of Living Well

Few names command the same level of trust and recognition in luxury hospitality as Four Seasons.

Set along one of the UAE's most prestigious stretches of coastline, Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach brings together world-class architecture, legendary service and the cultural significance of Saadiyat Island to create one of the region's most coveted residential addresses.

Over the past decade, Saadiyat Island has emerged as the cultural heart of Abu Dhabi. At the centre of the island lies the Saadiyat Cultural District, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum, the forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi. Together with its white-sand beaches, championship golf, luxury resorts and exceptional natural surroundings, the island represents a unique convergence of art, architecture, education, lifestyle and wellbeing, where privacy and exclusivity coexist with international connectivity.

Developed by ALAIN, the project has already attracted strong interest from buyers across the UK, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Its appeal lies not simply in its beachfront location or the strength of the Four Seasons brand, but in its ability to offer something increasingly scarce in today's luxury markets: permanence.

As demand grows for assets that combine lifestyle, stability and long-term value preservation, the development has become particularly attractive to internationally mobile families, entrepreneurs and family offices seeking a foothold within one of the world's fastest-growing luxury residential destinations.

According to Stan Ennor-Glynn, Senior Director – Sales & Marketing (Residential) at ALAIN, the project has been exceptionally well received by international buyers, many of whom are drawn to its combination of absolute beachfront living, world-class design, unparalleled service standards and Saadiyat Island's increasingly global reputation. The rarity of the opportunity, coupled with the strength of the Four Seasons brand, has elevated the development beyond traditional real estate, positioning it instead as a legacy asset for long-term ownership.

In an increasingly crowded landscape of luxury offerings, Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach stands apart through its emphasis on quality, exclusivity and enduring value, attributes that continue to resonate strongly with discerning purchasers around the world.
