TouchWood Play, a leading innovator in the design and manufacture of bespoke play environments, proudly announces its latest project: the creation of a spectacular new Kids’ Club on Zuhha Island, Dubai. This immersive play space is set to redefine children’s experiences by combining imaginative design with the natural beauty and luxury ethos of Zuhha Island.
Nestled within serene and exclusive surroundings, the Kids’ Club is a testament to TouchWood Play’s philosophy of ‘playing naturally’; an approach that emphasises the fundamental role of play in human development. The Kids’ Club has been meticulously crafted to harmonise with the island’s pristine environment, offering both a 1700sqm outdoor playspace and a multi-tiered indoor space over approximately 1300sqm that invites children to explore, create and connect with nature.
“We are thrilled to bring our vision of child-centered, nature-inspired play to life on Zuhha Island,” said Joe Cooper, Founder of TouchWood Play. “This project exemplifies our commitment to designing environments that not only entertain but also nurture social interaction, physical development and imaginative play.”
A play space like no other
The Zuhha Island Kids’ Club offers a dynamic blend of indoor and outdoor play experiences, catering to children of all ages. Key features include:
- Water Wonderland: Featuring natural boulders, cascading streams, and interactive water elements, this sensory-rich area encourages playful exploration of water in its many forms.
- The Sand Play Treehouse: A multi-level structure equipped with pulleys, chutes and talking tubes, fostering cooperative play and creativity.
- Teen Hangout Zone: Designed for older children, this space includes trampolines, climbing structures, and a netted lounging area.
- Epic Slides: A thrilling donut slide winds around the building, offering an exhilarating descent from the upper levels.
- Maze Area: A winding, engaging maze that challenges children to navigate pathways while enhancing their problem-solving abilities.
- Beach Hut Play Area: An inviting, themed zone where children can engage in imaginative seaside adventures.
- Island Challenge Area: An obstacle course designed to test and develop children’s coordination, balance, and resilience.
- Indoor Playhouse & Chill-Out Room: Creative and calming spaces where children can engage in role play or unwind after active play sessions.
Each element has been carefully curated to spark imagination, promote social connection, and encourage physical play in a safe, engaging environment.
Inspiring the next generation of explorers
Beyond its innovative design, the Kids’ Club reflects Zuhha Island’s commitment to providing exceptional family experiences. The space promotes intergenerational play, allowing parents and caregivers to join their children in exploration and discovery.
“Our aim was to create a place where children can freely explore and express themselves while fostering a deep connection with their natural surroundings,” added Joe Cooper. “We believe the Zuhha Island Kids’ Club will become a focal point for building community and socialising within and between families seeking both luxury and adventure.”
The Zuhha Island Kids’ Club is set to open in 2026, offering families an unparalleled play experience in the heart of what will become one of Dubai’s most exclusive destinations.
