Having lived in a Pacific island all my life, I’ve often dreamt about what it would be like to travel around the world in one long trip and experience different places, cultures and cuisine. Unfortunately, my real world budget and work schedule combine to form a strong one-two punch for non-travel when it comes to navigating around the globe, so up to this day that dream for circumnavigating continues to be elusive.
A taste of what that experience would be like (in physical form, at least), appears to be provided by Nakheel Properties’ much celebrated creation called The World Island. Situated in the Gulf of Dubai, the ultra luxurious property made of 300 tons of rock is one of the latest man made developments created on water. Although the world below the sea continues to be man’s unconquerable frontier, the technology to claim its surface gets better and better as projects such as this continue to flourish.
Although initially meant to attract resort developers and individuals who have millions to spend on an exotic vacation home, The World Island will be the golden mean for future reclamation endeavors on water. To create artificial parcels of land in an otherwise uninhabitable location is the stuff of science fiction and fantasy as captivating as space colonization itself, but Nakheel Properties have made fiction reality in developing The World Island. There’s nothing like taking a break away from the worries and troubles of life by taking a weekend trip to some white sand island paradise a few hours away from where I live and indulging not in excess, but in the simple luxury of not having to care about anything.
