Dubai Islands

About

Dubai Islands is an ambitious urban development project in Dubai, featuring an archipelago of five artificial islands spanning a total area of 1,700 hectares. Part of Dubai’s visionary 2040 urban master plan, the project, formerly known as Deira Islands and initially launched as Palm Deira over a decade ago, has undergone a significant transformation under Nakheel’s leadership since its revitalization in 2022. Strategically connected to Dubai’s central communities via a 1.4-kilometer, eight-lane bridge, Dubai Islands aims to redefine luxury living and tourism with each island offering a distinct theme and purpose. The five islands are designed to cater to a variety of interests and lifestyles. Golf Island is tailored for golf enthusiasts, featuring state-of-the-art golfing facilities, while Marina Island will host vibrant beach clubs. Shore Island is set to be a hub for hospitality and water sports, offering an array of hotels and recreational activities. Central Island is planned as a retail paradise, highlighted by Deira Mall, which is set to become one of the largest shopping destinations in the UAE. With a kilometer-long glass atrium, extensive dining options, and ample parking, the mall will anchor the island’s retail offerings. Elite Island, the smallest of the five, will feature ultra-luxurious waterfront villas for exclusive living. Dubai Islands is designed to be a haven for leisure and recreation, boasting over 80 planned hotels, 20 kilometers of pristine beaches, and approximately 200 hectares of lush parkland. Two hotels are already operational, and the beaches, some awarded the prestigious Blue Flag eco-label, further elevate the area’s appeal. The islands will also feature nine marinas with berths for 1,300 yachts, catering to Dubai’s thriving boating and luxury lifestyle scene. The development includes plans for 38,000 properties, including 16 residential skyscrapers on Central Island with 3,000 apartments, as well as a diverse mix of residential, commercial, and hospitality options. Strategically located in one of the world’s most dynamic cities, Dubai Islands presents unparalleled investment opportunities. Its diverse real estate offerings, from opulent waterfront villas to modern high-rise apartments and commercial spaces, ensure strong potential for property value appreciation. As a unique blend of luxury, leisure, and business, Dubai Islands enhances Dubai’s global appeal, creating a thriving community that embodies the city’s vision for the future.
