When it comes to eclectic real estate developments that range from innovative and cool to borderline bizarre, Dubai is unquestionably the leader. Case in point: A new project called "The Heart of Europe"encompasses six islands off the coast of Dubai, and each one "takes inspiration from some of Europe's most captivating locations," according to the Kleindienst Group. The development, which sounds like a fancier, gaudier Epcot Center, includes a resort that features 42 three-story floating villas with a $1.36 million price tag.
The lower level of the 1,700-square-foot villas is underwater and includes kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom. The second level has a master bedroom and bathroom, and there's a roof deck terrace on the third level. And in case you get bored sunning yourself on the roof deck and crave an authentic European experience, don't worry -- The Heart of Europe features the world's first climate-controlled outdoor areas, so you can stroll through (artificially) rain and snow-lined streets.
