    Each ville has three levels - underwater, sea and upper - with plenty of space to relax in the sun or enjoy views of the sea

    In the largest villa, measuring 4,000 square feet, the underwater level features a master bedroom and bathroom, with a freestanding tub and heated mirrors, and a guest room and connected bathroom.

    The middle deck, called the sea level, has an open-plan layout with a living room, dining room, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom, plus an exterior deck for sunbathing and a ladder for climbing in and out of the sea.

    The Heart of Europe is actually a cluster of six islands in 'The World' - 300 man-made islands still under construction in the shape of a map of the world. The cluster of islands lies just to the north-east of the Palm Jumeirah development

    It is intended to be a charming holiday retreat with sandy white beaches, shallow lagoons, swimming pools, tropical gardens, luxury hotels and resorts, restaurants, bars and shops.

    The Heart of Europe will be home to the world’s first climate-controlled streets, with technology that will drop artificial rain or snow on streets and plazas.

    Connected by bridges, the car-free islands will be able to accommodate as many as 16,000 people at once. Designed by European architects, the Heart of Europe is owned by real estate developer Kleindienst Group.
