As the sun began to set over the UAE, Dubai’s finest posed on the shore with the new Rolls-Royce Dawn and Wraith and then climbed aboard yachts to set sail for The Heart of Europe on the Dubai World Islands. The Heart of Europe project is ambitiously developing 13 hotels on six man-made islands, the worlds first Floating Seahorse Villas and boast the most exclusive second homes, the Sweden Beach Palaces, priced at over 100 million AED each and the site of The Luxury Network’s Extravaganza for the evening.

After a tour of the Floating Seahorse villa’s and the wonderment of the underwater bedrooms, guests transferred to the island and stepped onto the beach, following the enchantingly lit jungle trail to the magnificent 25,000sqft Sweden Beach Palace, where they were greeted by the inviting sounds of the Red Bull DJ, Red Bull Organics Mocktails and delectable canapés by Ravioli and Co. With over 50 News outlets snapping pictures of the city’s elite as they wandered through the expansive island palace, guests encountered luxury showcases by Al Bait Sharjah, Natura Bissé, Evoke International, ExecuJet, Claviger, Coveti, Baravia Fashion and Whyte. Influencer Paris interviewed brands and celebrities alike, live streamed by Red Monkey and a special appearance by Safia El Omary was captured by McAwesome, 404 and Nurovcom photographers and videographers. Flowers by Stem Stories dotted the venue over four floors, including the glass encapsulated rooftop, and guests were refreshed with Voss water throughout the evening. Press and Media were also treated to a press conference launching the new Hi Dubai TV series, meeting the 20 most influential women in Dubai, featured in the series, which begins airing on Zee TV and Dubai One channels in January 2019. With over 360 patrons in attendance, the island oozed with luxury, basking in the light displays and fire torches surrounding the infinity pool overlooking the water. With a night full of influencers and movers and shakers, the night ended with a luxury gift bag from Gold Collagen and unforgettable yacht trip back to the mainland, reality and maybe one last look at the Dawn and Wraith Rolls Royce’s vigilantly awaiting Dubai’s jet-setters as they set foot back onshore.
