The Ambanis know no bounds when it comes to showering their children with love and gifts. We’ve seen the extent Mukesh and Nita Ambani can go, to make their children’s special days memorable, from booking Beyonce for Isha Ambani’s pre-wedding bash to Anant Ambani’s extravagant pre-wedding celebrations. Anant’s wedding with Radhika Merchant was one of the most expensive and extravagant celebrations ever held.
Well, brace yourselves, as we take you on a virtual journey to the jaw-dropping beachfront villa in Dubai that Nita and Mukesh Ambani gifted their youngest son, Anant and his wife, Radhika, ahead of their wedding.
Mukesh and Nita Ambani's gift to Anant and Radhika was a luxurious villa located on the northern side of Dubai’s iconic Palm Jumeirah. Well, even the word ‘luxury’ feels like an understatement. Spread over a massive 3,000 sq ft, the villa boasts a 70-meter private beach that looks straight out of a postcard.
The villa itself is a masterpiece, with 10 plush bedrooms and interiors decked out in Italian marble and jaw-dropping artwork.

And it doesn’t stop here. There are indoor and outdoor pools for those lazy Dubai afternoons, a private spa for pampering sessions, and even a private salon.
Wondering about the price tag for all these? Well, the villa reportedly cost the Ambanis a staggering Rs. 640 crores.
Once you step inside this opulent mansion, you’ll be amazed at how well its interiors balance over-the-top luxury with an intimate, homey vibe. Keeping the private beach aside, there’s even more to explore, from elegant living rooms, bedrooms and luxurious bathrooms to crystal-clear indoor pools.
The couple’s spacious living and dining areas are more than enough to house those larger-than-life celebrations.
Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s fairytale wedding was nothing short of legendary. The couple tied the knot in July 2024 in Mumbai after months of extravagant pre-wedding celebrations in Jamnagar and Italy. In addition to every who’s-who of India, the soiree included international guests and global icons like Rihanna, Justin Beiber, Kim and Khloe Kardashian and John Cena.
If reports are to be believed, the couple’s entire wedding soiree cost around Rs. 5,000 crore, equivalent to USD 600 million. The cost exceeded even the British royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, which cost approximately USD 45 million. According to reports, Anant and Radhika’s wedding budget was 1900% higher than the luxurious wedding of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma.
Radhika Merchant and Anant Ambani had known each other for several years before getting engaged in 2022. The couple had been spotted together on numerous occasions, with Radhika being a familiar presence at all major and minor Ambani celebrations.
After overcoming serious health challenges, Anant finally got engaged to Radhika, during a traditional roka ceremony at the Shrinathji Temple in Rajasthan. Their families made the happy news official with a heartfelt joint statement:
“Anant and Radhika have known each other for a few years, and today’s ceremony marks the start of their formal journey toward marriage in the coming months. Both families seek everyone’s blessings and good wishes as Radhika and Anant begin their journey of togetherness.”
Fast forward to July 12, 2024, and the duo tied the knot in what can only be described as the most spectacular wedding the nation has ever witnessed.
With all of this info, it’s safe to say that the Ambanis have once again shown what it means to celebrate family, leaving us all in awe of their grandeur and maybe just a little jealous, too!
