20+ waterfront projects within a large-scale coastal master plan
Designed for long-term residential and investment demand
Dubai Islands is a large-scale waterfront development by Nakheel, located along Dubai’s northern coastline. The master plan spans over 17 sq km, extends the coastline by around 50 km, and allocates approximately 60% of the area to open and green spaces.
The development is divided into five distinct islands, each planned with a specific residential and lifestyle focus:

Property Monitor data shows strong price movement during 2024 across residential units and land plots on Dubai Islands, reflecting early-stage development activity and limited coastal supply.
Rental performance varies by project and unit type, with gross rental yields generally in the 6%–8% range, depending on layout, location, and rental strategy.
The area is quickly becoming a prime location for long-term waterfront residential sales in Dubai's real estate market, thanks to the ongoing development of infrastructure, neighborhoods, and recreational amenities.
Dubai Islands is designed for everyday living, leisure, and long-term value. Key features include:
- Luxury hotels and beachfront resorts
- Spa and wellness centres
- Golf courses, including 9- and 18-hole layouts
- A 1,300-berth marina for private boats and waterfront activities
- Beach clubs and a dedicated surf park
- Long stretches of white-sand beaches, including Blue Flag-certified areas
- Parks and green open spaces across the islands
- Waterfront promenades with dining and retail



The area will feature a variety of dining, retail and entertainment options. Most impressively, Dubai Islands Mall will stand out, surpassing Dubai Mall in total area.
Schools and hospitals are planned for the islands, enhancing convenience for residents. In the meantime, the nearest educational and medical facilities are located on the Dubai mainland.
Featuring a scenic promenade for leisurely strolls, nearly 2 square kilometers of parks and open spaces, and world-class golf courses overlooking the sea, the area is a haven for recreation.
