The villa community is on an island far from the mainland, so you won’t find traditional fuel vehicles for the commute. Visitors can reach St. Petersburg Island by seaplane, helicopter or boat, from where you can reach Floating Seahorse Dubai via floating piers.

The giant fleet of Floating Seahorse Villas is equipped with modern amenities and facilities to provide comfortable living to visitors. Some of these are:

• Sustainable Property Hub: As per developers, each villa will have its sewage tanks to prevent contaminated water from escaping at sea. These houses will not have engines to move around on their own; the boats will tug the villa from the marina to dock to another location.
• Stabilisation System to Limit Motion Sickness: Dubai Floating Seahorse Homes is a cross between boat and villa, which is why they are constructed as per the instructions followed in ship-building. Installing a stabilisation system underneath is one of them. The system will accommodate 25 people in the villa whenever there is a weight shift.  
• Clear Glass Walls: The base level has 25 sq. m. glass walls made from acrylic, so you can enjoy the full view of the coral garden. Moreover, the basement level is designed so that air pressure doesn’t need to be regulated.

The elimination of traditional transport and climate-controlled areas are other features of these villas.
