Sheybarah Island Design

Shebara resort is a testament to futuristic design and sustainable architecture, with its overwater villas reflecting the vibrant marine life below. Designed by Killa Design, the resort features 73 exclusive villas, both overwater and beachfront. The iconic stainless-steel overwater orbs are inspired by the surrounding coral reefs and are designed to mirror the sea and sky, creating an illusion of floating above the water. This architectural marvel seamlessly integrates with the environment, offering guests an experience of harmony and unity.


Each stainless-steel orb villa connects guests to the natural world, reflecting the delicate patterns of the seascape. The inland villas, inspired by the curves of desert sand dunes, are arranged for utmost privacy, blending sophistication with exclusivity. The circle motif present in the overwater villas embodies unity, integration, and wholeness, aiming to instill a sense of completion, confidence, and harmony in every guest.


The design of Shebara resort exemplifies how innovative architecture can connect gracefully to nature. The villas delicately balance between sky and sea, while inland accommodations are nestled into the landscape. From eco-conscious materials to sweeping panoramic views, every element of Shebara resort reflects our commitment to honoring natural beauty while delivering absolute luxury.
