About Dubai (Deira) Islands
Dubai Islands is a new master development by Nakheel, located just off the coast of Deira. Spanning 17 square kilometres across five man-made islands, the project is set to reshape Dubai’s northern shoreline.

In total, the islands will add more than 20 kilometres of beachfront to the city, while plans call for over 80 luxury hotels, golf courses, retail destinations, and some of Dubai’s most exclusive properties.

Investment Potential
Investing in Dubai Islands today is a valuable opportunity, especially as this community is in its early stages of development. As the project matures, investors can anticipate a significant appreciation in property values well above the Dubai real estate average.
In addition, this luxury development by Nakheel offers a wide range of properties, including apartments, townhouses, and villas, each developed by various esteemed developers. This diversity in development not only enhances the architectural variety and design options available but also provides investors and potential homeowners with a broad spectrum of choices to suit their preferences and investment strategies.
The early phase of development means that investors have the chance to enter the market at a potentially lower price point, positioning them well for substantial gains as the community develops and becomes more established. These early adopters can expect rental returs well in excess of 6% and annual growth of 10%+.
Nakheel’s Dubai Islands development embraces a responsible and carefully thought-out approach to urban living. It does this by integrating key sustainability efforts at every possible opportunity.
The project is designed to minimize environmental impact through energy-efficient building practices and smart water consumption systems. Renewable energy sources play a key role in powering various aspects of the community. Meanwhile, the incorporation of lush green spaces and pedestrian paths encourages an active, healthy lifestyle. Regular reviews and inspections ensure that sustainability goals are consistently met across facilities, creating an environment where residents and visitors can enjoy modern living with a reduced ecological footprint. The focus on sustainability at Dubai Islands highlights Nakheel’s commitment to creating a luxurious yet also forward-thinking, eco-conscious community.
