Dubai Islands is a visionary master-planned archipelago developed by Nakheel, reimagining waterfront living with a bold and sustainable approach to urban design. Spanning over 17 square kilometers and composed of five interlinked man-made islands, this coastal development is located just north of old Deira and is a cornerstone of Dubai’s 2040 Urban Master Plan. With over 20 km of pristine Blue Flag beaches, 2 square kilometers of landscaped parks, premium marinas, and a network of golf courses and waterfront promenades, Dubai Islands is designed to blend vibrant city life with tranquil island serenity—offering a truly unique living experience that combines nature, recreation, luxury, and convenience.

Each of the five islands has its own distinct theme and function—ranging from hospitality and wellness-focused retreats to cultural hubs, luxury residential enclaves, golf-front estates, and family-oriented beachfront communities. Together, they are set to accommodate more than 38,000 residential units, 80+ resorts and hotels, nine marinas, and 600+ yacht berths, making it one of the most ambitious mixed-use developments in the region. With a strong focus on sustainability and connectivity, the islands are planned to support electric vehicle infrastructure, water taxis, and walkable green neighborhoods—while remaining just 20 to 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai, DXB Airport, and other key districts via road and sea links.

Dubai Islands is not only a coastal lifestyle destination but also an emerging investment hotspot. Early off-plan projects from developers like Nakheel and Ellington are drawing interest due to attractive pricing, UAE Golden Visa eligibility, and high projected rental yields averaging 8–10%. Whether as a luxury waterfront residence, a weekend beach retreat, or a long-term investment in Dubai’s expanding coastline, Dubai Islands represents the future of integrated, resort-inspired urban living in the UAE.
