What is Dubai’s ‘Billionaire’s Island’, where Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly bought mansion?

Dubai, home to the highest number of billionaires in the region, continues to attract A-list celebrities. The latest to join is rumoured to be football sensation Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Al Nassr club superstar has reportedly bought a property on the Jumeirah Bay Island, also known as ‘Billionaires Island’.

However, there is no official confirmation from Ronaldo’s representatives regarding the purchase, with one publication saying they denied that it was made at all.

If the rumour of Ronaldo moving to Jumeirah Bay turns out to be true, this will definitely give a major impetus to the ultra-luxury property market in the emirate, especially on the Island.

Ultra-luxury projects

In addition to housing super-premium The Bulgari Resort, construction is underway on the 27-storey Bulgari Lighthouse, an ultra-luxury project which has four and five-bedroom penthouses. The seven-bedroom Sky Villa crowns the top three levels of Bulgari Lighthouse, and is surrounded by expansive private rooftop gardens, outdoor living spaces, two private pools, and stylish lounge areas on either side of the building.
