The development offers a respite within an ecological wonderland right in the heart of the city of Abu Dhabi. HH Sheikh Zayed initiated multiple mangrove plantation campaigns. As a result, mangroves around Vas Island were replanted and there has been a significant increase in biodiversity and coastal protection as a result. The brief for the development was to provide a retreat that fosters awareness & engagement with a newly rehabilitated mangrove & its inhabitants.
The project provides a unique hospitality offering that encourages eco-tourism within the emirate of Abu Dhabi. The vision for the project has been to enhance existing ecological assets while also providing an eco-leisure destination that is easily accessible from the city center. The site is highly visible from within Abu Dhabi and offers an unparalleled experience of a mangrove ecosystem.
