UAE’s Eagle Hills expands global footprint, unveils Šas heights on the shores of Lake Šas, Montenegro
Abu Dhabi-based Eagle Hills expands its international portfolio with a landscape-led luxury destination in one of Europe’s most ecologically preserved natural environments
Budva, Montenegro, [14 May 2026] - Eagle Hills, the Abu Dhabi-based private real estate developer and investor, has announced the launch of ŠAS Heights - a luxury retreat and residential destination overlooking the pristine shores of Lake Šas in Montenegro.
Positioned within one of Montenegro’s most naturally preserved and undiscovered regions, ŠAS Heights reflects Eagle Hills’ continued expansion across international markets and its commitment to creating integrated destinations that are deeply connected to their surrounding landscapes.
Drawing on a development philosophy rooted in long-term livability, longevity that enriches livelihoods and wellbeing, the project has been conceived to balance hospitality, residential living, and environmental sensitivity within a low-density masterplan designed to preserve openness, privacy, and connection to nature.
The development further strengthens Eagle Hills’ growing global portfolio, which spans more than 100,000 homes, 50+ hotels, 10,000+ hotel keys, and six malls worldwide. Designed as a refined lifestyle destination, ŠAS Heights brings together luxury hospitality, wellness-oriented living, and sustainable long-term development in a setting defined by stillness, biodiversity, and natural beauty.
A Development Rooted in Nature and Wellbeing
Conceived as a complete destination, ŠAS Heights integrates a luxury hospitality retreat, private villas, serviced apartments, and wellness-focused experiences within a carefully planned low-density masterplan. The development will feature a collection of 29 premium villas, 30 apartment buildings, and 69 hotel keys, all designed to balance hospitality and residential living while preserving openness, privacy, and harmony with nature.
Set between the mountains and Lake Šas, the architecture has been designed to frame uninterrupted lakefront and mountain views, while maintaining a strong relationship between the built environment, landscape, and outdoor living. Native vegetation, natural materials, and open terrain remain central to the project’s identity.
Lake Šas itself is recognised as an important natural habitat for migratory and resident bird species, with the surrounding ecosystem contributing to the area’s exceptional biodiversity. The development adopts an eco-conscious approach focused on long-term environmental responsibility, supporting sustainable tourism growth while preserving the integrity of the landscape.
Strategic Location
Situated in Montenegro’s southern landscape, ŠAS Heights enjoys a strategically connected yet privately secluded location within reach of three international airports - Podgorica (93.5 km), Tivat (108 km), and Dubrovnik (157 km). The destination also benefits from proximity to the UNESCO-listed Bay of Kotor and the wider Adriatic coastline.
The elevated setting, positioned approximately 20 to 45 metres above sea level, offers panoramic views across Lake Šas and the surrounding mountains, creating an environment centred around calm, privacy, and slower luxury experiences.
Supporting Montenegro’s Sustainable Tourism Vision
ŠAS Heights is envisioned as a year-round destination designed to contribute to Montenegro’s evolving tourism landscape and the international positioning of Ulcinj and the wider Adriatic region. The project is expected to attract international visitors seeking wellness, nature, and more intentional luxury experiences, while supporting the continued growth of sustainable tourism in the country.
Leadership
Under the leadership of Mohamed Alabbar, Eagle Hills has established a global portfolio of integrated destinations shaped by disciplined master planning, architectural clarity, and long-term value creation. From the UAE to Europe and North Africa, each development reflects a commitment to creating environments that are both commercially enduring and deeply connected to their surroundings.
“Šas Heights reflects our belief that the most enduring destinations are those that exist in harmony with their surroundings. Every aspect of the development has been carefully considered to preserve the natural character of Lake Šas while creating a destination centred around wellbeing, privacy, and a slower pace of living. From the landscape and architecture to the wellness offering and residential experience, the project has been designed to support longevity, balance, and a deeper connection to nature,” the company states.

KFC Delivery Now Available Only Through Glovo — Everything You Need To Know About This Important Update
15.05.2026.16:22
One of the world’s most recognized fast-food brands, KFC, is changing its delivery model in the Georgian market. Starting today, KFC delivery will be available only through Glovo, the multi-category delivery platform selected by the brand as its sole partner in Georgia. The decision is aimed at improving customer experience, enhancing delivery quality, and streamlining the overall process.
A Thoughtful Business Decision
Instead of operating across multiple platforms simultaneously, KFC is choosing a closer and fully integrated partnership with one platform. For customers, this means a more stable, predictable, and high-quality service. Globally, similar approaches are often adopted when the priority is not the number of delivery platforms, but the quality of service itself. For Glovo, the partnership is another strong example of the platform’s technological capabilities and operational efficiency.
What Changes for Customers
Ordering KFC is now becoming even more convenient. The partnership improves the customer experience at every stage — from ordering to delivery. Customers can expect:
Tamta Kakuchaia, Head of Partners at Glovo Georgia, commented:
“Our partnership with KFC is a well-considered business decision. We want to offer customers a service that is even simpler, faster, and more convenient. When everything is unified within one platform, it becomes much easier to improve every stage of the process — from ordering to delivery. It is important for us that customers receive their favorite KFC products quickly, conveniently, and without interruption.”
Sandro Darsavelidze, Head of E-Commerce at KFC Georgia, added:
“For KFC customers, this essentially means bringing the delivery service as close as possible to the same experience and quality they receive directly at the restaurant. The service will become even faster and more efficient, while all updates and offers will be brought together in one space — Glovo — allowing us to focus even more directly on improving the customer experience.”
