The Waterlovt is aimed at providing its owners with all the bells and whistles of a luxury apartment, the serenity and freedom of a waterborne lifestyle and the autonomy of off-grid living.

The Waterlovt follows in the footsteps of the Floating Seahorse and its premium Signature Edition, a fleet of which are planned for the Heart of Europedevelopment at The World in Dubai. Like them, the Waterlovt offers a high-end floating residence for high-end individuals, but they are to be marketed 150 km (93 mi) south in Abu Dhabi.

The idea for the Waterlovt was conceived just over a year ago by Dutch entrepreneur Berend Lens van Rijn while he was was in the costly process of finding an apartment to rent. "That was when I started thinking about luxury living on the water and also when I decided to introduce this idea in Abu Dhabi," explains Lens van Rijn.
