The address the world recognises. Signature villas with private beaches on the fronds, sea-view residences on the trunk — a fixed island of luxury where supply can never grow, with a specialist who knows every frond and building.
Nakheel's iconic island has been Dubai's benchmark for luxury waterfront living since 2007 — the reference point every new development measures itself against.
Its real advantage is scarcity: the island is geographically fixed, so existing homes can never be diluted by new supply. That's why villas rose roughly 40% in 2025 alone, and a home bought near the 2020 low has commonly delivered around 200% capital growth by early 2026.
It's a dual-strategy asset. Trunk apartments offer liquidity and steady 5.5–6.8% yields; frond villas are the rarest homes in the market, bought for lifestyle and long-term wealth preservation — with holiday-let potential of 7–9% gross.
Signature villas & mansions with private sandy beaches and gated seclusion.
Sea-view apartments, Nakheel Mall and the highest day-to-day liquidity.
Palm West Beach, The Pointe and Atlantis — resort living as your everyday.
The Palm Monorail links to the Dubai Tram and Metro, or a quick drive to town.
Indicative secondary-market prices from Q1 2026 data. Branded residences and frond villas span an enormous range — your specialist pins the exact figure by building and frond.
Model net, not gross: service charges run about AED 11–15/sqft for standard apartments, AED 20–30+/sqft for branded beachfront residences, and AED 8–15/sqft for villas. Short-term holiday lets can reach 7–9% gross but need a DTCM permit — we'll tell you which buildings and fronds allow it.
The Palm rewards precise local knowledge: which fronds get the best sunset orientation, which trunk buildings rent fastest, where the branded premium is justified, and which homes carry a holiday-home permit. The gap between a good buy and a great one here is measured in millions.

One-bed apartments start around AED 2.5M and two-beds from AED 4M, while signature frond villas begin near AED 8M and rise past AED 200M for the largest mansions. The island averages roughly AED 3,800 per sqft — among the highest in Dubai.
Apartments yield around 5.5–6.8% gross; villas 3.5–5% on long leases. But Palm's real story is capital growth — villas rose ~40% in 2025 and ~200% since 2020 on fixed island supply. Short-term holiday lets can reach 7–9% gross.
Yes, with a DTCM permit. Frond villas with private beaches and sea-view trunk apartments perform strongly on holiday platforms — often 40–60% above equivalent long-term rents. Not every building allows it, so confirm before you buy.
Yes. Any Palm purchase of AED 2M or more qualifies under the 2026 Golden Visa rules — including off-plan and mortgaged purchases — securing long-term residency for you and your family, tax-free.
