About Dubai Islands

Projected profitability

Welcome to Dubai Islands — a place where dreams take shape

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:

  • Central Island – mixed-use residential areas with retail, dining, and urban amenities
  • Shore Island – beachfront communities with a resort-style residential setting
  • Golf Island – residential neighbourhoods centred around golf courses and green space
  • Marina Island – waterfront living with marinas, promenades, and yachting facilities
  • Elite Island – low-density residential areas focused on premium and luxury homes

Investment Appeal

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.
