In the clear-blue waters off the coast of Dubai lies a chain of islands known as The Heart of Europe. They're manmade reconstructions of actual European nations, just on a smaller scale â part of an even larger chain of islands known as "The World."
Richard Branson, fittingly, owns the island representing Great Britain.
The Heart of Europe rolled out its first $2.8 million floating home, the aptly named "Floating Seahorse," in early 2016. Since then, development firm Kleindienst has been rolling out even larger homes that will cost roughly $3.3 million.

Since the structures are located about two and a half miles from Dubai's shores, inhabitants can reach their Seahorse via boat or seaplane.
It's not exactly the most accessible way to get to and from home, but once they're out there, they can cross between the islands via floating jetties.
The company says it hopes the structure can set a new standard for what it means to live lavishly.
Kleindienst also hopes it can make some headway in restoring the endangered seahorse population in the area.
"We will create an artificial coral reef beneath the luxury retreats which will be a protected area in which seahorses can safely live and breed," Kleindienst said at an unveiling even in May 2015.
The firm completed the rollout of its Signature Edition line of villas in fall of 2016. At 4,000 square feet and $3.3 million, they are a major upgrade from the original model.
The Signature Edition will have four designated bedrooms and several rooms that can transform into sleeping quarters, meaning the Seahorse can accommodate up to eight adults and eight children, according to Kleindienst.
The underwater views are just as impressive, with marine life on full display in the master bedroom.
Below the water's surface there are actually two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a viewing area for the coral garden.Â
