Waterfront properties

Life by the sea is defined by a natural calm — a true luxury in today's fast-paced world. Perched along the Arabian Gulf, Dubai has a generous offering of stunning waterfront residential communities, from Palm Jumeirah to Jumeirah Bay Island. A perfect address for those who wish to swap the thrum of the city for the gentle lapping of waves, homes in these prestigious areas promise a level of serenity, security, and heartfelt leisure found nowhere else.

One of the most iconic waterfront addresses in Dubai is Palm Jumeirah – a tree-shaped man-made island made up of 17 fronds, a trunk, and a crescent. Homes on the fronds of Palm Jumeirah are some of the most desirable in the city, with expansive layouts, infinity pools, and private beach fronts, nurturing a connection to nature. The lifestyle on this unique island is unparalleled: on your doorstep will be award-winning restaurants, world-famous beach clubs, and an abundance of five-star hotels with fantastic amenities.

Perhaps most exclusive of all in Dubai is Jumeirah Bay Island, a sea-horse shaped man-made island with just 128 villa plots. Like Palm Jumeirah, properties in Jumeirah Bay Island offer tranquil private beaches and expansive living spaces, but with an added layer of privacy due to the island’s more secluded location. A coveted address for connoisseurs of luxury, Jumeirah Bay Island is home to the world’s first Bulgari Marina and Yacht Club, in addition to a stunning collection of Bulgari-branded waterfront residences.

For a waterfront address with excellent city connectivity, District One is exceptional. This prime villa community is built around the 7km Crystal Lagoon, offering a calm, family-friendly waterfront lifestyle a stone’s throw from Downtown Dubai. Freehold properties in District One are substantially larger than average, up to 23,000 sq. ft, presenting particularly lucrative investment opportunities for investors.

The beauty of living in Dubai is that even the more remote waterfront communities are never too far from key business hubs and essential living facilities, helping you strike an ideal balance between work and leisure. The enduring demand for homes in these prestigious areas has kept the property market highly buoyant, making it an attractive prospect for prime and super-prime investors.
