It’s got Ain Dubai, the world’s largest ferris wheel, and a whole bunch more, and the brand-new Bluewaters island in Dubai is finally now open to the public.

As well as having a nosey around the retail area, The Wharf, which will eventually house 132 shops and restaurants, we have a snoop around one of the 698 swanky new residences, and imagine how the other half live.

We also head to the newly-opened Cove Beach at Caesars Palace Hotel, and take the weight off with a stretch out in a luxury hammock that is basically the equivalent of a double bed.

After a gander along the boardwalk appreciating the views across to JBR beach, we take a few moments to appreciate the sheer scale of Ain Dubai, before hopping on a buggy and making our way across The Wharf Link, a 265-metre bridge connecting the island to the mainland.

Here’s everything you need to know about the brand-new attraction, from the same team that brought you La Mer, Al Seef and The Beach opposite JBR.
