Villa Del Gavi at a glance
Mr. Eight Development's Villa Del Gavi is being developed as a residential high-rise in the Deira part of Dubai, on the Dubai Islands. Plans set it at 15 storeys with an estimated 87 units, laid out as apartments of two to four bedrooms, with duplexes also named among the unit types. Building work began in 2026.
Inside the apartments
Kitchens are specified as Italian designs, with cabinet doors fronted in glass and surfaces treated to resist fingerprints. Wardrobe systems are also to come from Italy, with glazed doors and lighting built into the units.
For the shared parts of the building, the specification turns to natural stone brought in from Italy. Two are named: Calacatta Viola marble and Silver Travertine.

Residents' services are set out in two tiers. The core tier covers security at all hours, maintenance of the common areas, housekeeping and a concierge desk. A second tier is offered on request: personal training, yoga classes, massage, childcare and maintenance work inside the apartment. A car with a driver and a motorboat with a captain are also named among the in-house services.
Dubai Islands
The site lies within Nakheel's Dubai Islands, the reclaimed island development off the Deira coast, where a section of the eastern shore is open to dogs and they may swim.
Eight of Nakheel's beaches carry the Blue Flag, and Dubai Islands has one or more of them.
Souk Al Marfa, the islands' night market, was completed in 2018 and counts 5,300 shops, with almost 100 cafés and restaurants facing the water.
