They are known for living in uber-luxurious houses. From Antilia, the south Mumbai house of business magnate Mukesh Ambani, to the Rs 450 crore property known as Gulita on Mumbai’s Worli seafront where Isha Ambani resides with her husband Anand Piramal, the Ambani family is reputed for its lavish residences. Now, the Ambanis can also add an $80-million (Rs 640 crore) beachside villa in Dubai to their list of residences, as per a Bloomberg report. As per the report, the property on Palm Jumeirah was purchased earlier this year for Ambani’s youngest son, Anant. Here’s what we know of this deal which is reported to be Dubai’s costliest home. A house fit for Ambani prince! As per the Bloomberg report, the villa sits in the northern part of the palm-shaped artificial archipelago and has 10 bedrooms, a private spa, and indoor and outdoor pools. It also boasts of having a salon, and a fully furnished bar. The two-storey mansion also has a sleek, open concept kitchen which is connected with the dining area. Besides these features, the residence also has its own wine cellar. For the uninitiated, Palm Jumeirah is an artificial island that is known for its super-rich colonies and glitzy hotels. Its construction began in 2001. It is a part of a larger series of islands that is known as the Palm islands. The luxurious villa, 33,000 square feet in space, is furnished with Italian marble and beautiful state-of-the-art masterpieces. The massive bungalow also has its own 70-metre-long private beach, providing the owner privacy from the public. Anant Ambani, one of three heirs to the $93.3 billion fortune, will also have celebrities such as David Beckham and his wife Victoria, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan as his neighbours. According to people involved in the deal, Anant Ambani will spend millions of dollars to customise it and ensure its security. Longtime Ambani associate Parimal Nathwani, a director of corporate affairs at the group and MP, will manage the villa, reported Bloomberg.
