Record Breakers: The Most Expensive Palm Jumeirah Properties
Palm Jumeirah represents everything we have come to expect from ultra-luxury living – exclusivity, extravagance and elegance. A feat of engineering, the reclaimed island is a modern, man-made marvel.
Nestled on the fronds of Dubai’s most iconic island, Palm Jumeirah mansions offer residents an air of authority rarely seen in other areas. With panoramic sea views, fabulously designed interiors and private beachfront access as standard, these homes command a price in a league of their own.
Signature Villa – Frond F
Featuring five bedrooms spread over 12,623 sq.ft., this bespoke gem on frond F purveys the pinnacle of luxury living. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood each room with natural light, complemented by high-end features such as the Roberto Cavalli-designed master suite, a grand foyer lift offering seamless access to all three floors, and a double-height entrance that sets an elegant tone throughout.
The grand lobby gives way to a spacious living room, with a family lounge to one side complete with Roche Bobois furnishings. The opposite side boasts an interconnected dining area and kitchen, offering flawless efficiency for meal times. Additionally, the private cinema adds an allure of glamour to the ground floor level.
Heading upstairs, the first floor contains four en suite bedrooms, including the master suite, which features a grandiose walk-in dressing room, as well as its own master bath complete with a freestanding tub. Moving to the rooftop level, we arrive at the second master suite – its pièce de résistance being a dedicated wellness facility, complete with gym, sauna, jacuzzi, zen garden, and cold plunge pool – providing a refreshing start to any day.
The outdoor area of the property has been designed with hosting in mind, with the colossal swimming pool as impressive as any other feature on offer. The property is equipped with a BBQ area, a sunken lounge with fire pit, as well as its own Teppanyaki table, ensuring guests will never want to leave.
At AED 280m, this cosmopolitan frond F property – marketed by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty – provides the ultimate in Palm Jumeirah living.
Armani Beach Residences
Dripping in splendour, this Presidential penthouse on the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah exudes grandeur at every turn. With luxury and functionality in mind, this five-bedroom apartment is home to a slew of state-of-the-art features which allow its owner to live a life of ultimate style.
Palatial surroundings covered in unique detailing – the interior of the property was designed by Armani/Casa – pinpoint this property as one of the most exclusive in the city. The gourmet kitchen allows both casual and formal dining, but the culinary options don’t end there. The property features a sumptuous al fresco dining area, seamlessly complemented by a sweeping rooftop terrace that includes a beautifully designed infinity pool and jacuzzi. Younger residents are also thoughtfully considered, with a dedicated kids’ pool, while the private beach – with dedicated staff on hand – invites effortless relaxation from sunrise to sunset.
The living area offers sublime views across the Arabian Gulf, as well as the Burj Al Arab. Spanning an impressive 43,830 sq. ft, the property reserves plenty of space for a luxury spa, sauna, cigar room, movie theatre and courtyard. Set to be completed towards the end of 2026 and marketed by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty, this love letter to perfection will set potential buyers back somewhere in the region of AED 482.5m.
Casa Del Sole
If price is the ultimate litmus test of luxury, then Casa Del Sole stands on par with a couple of other exceptional properties in Dubai. Whilst these other residences have sold for considerably more, there are limited details available. What we do know, however, is that the most expensive real estate deal on The Palm came in 2022, when billionaire Ambani parted with AED 600 million for a mansion on Frond N of Palm Jumeirah. Just a year later, another high-value transaction went ahead, with an AED 500 million penthouse in Como Residences being sold. Additionally, some other properties are valued at more than the AED 302.5m paid for this Billionaires’ Row property, but those valuations are yet to be realised.
Developed by Alpago Properties, the 31,600 sq.ft. property sits on frond G of the world-famous Palm Jumeirah. When it was sold back in July 2022, the eight-bedroom property fetched a Dubai-record fee (despite being only partly finished at the time), and for good reason.
Defined as a masterpiece of sophistication, Casa Del Sole is the stuff of dreams. Not only does it come equipped with a 15-car garage, but it is furnished with materials and finishes of only the very highest calibre. Attention to detail in this world-class home is unparalleled. Local craftsmanship and international design are blended to form one of the most extravagant living experiences.
A serene experience awaits as one traverses the property. Reflective surfaces mirror thoughtful design; lively spaces reserved for children give way to serene expanses, characterising each bedroom as a customised oasis away from the main living space.
Opulent and timeless, the property spans four levels over 28,000 sq.ft. and is bedecked with luxurious fittings from high-end designers such as Minotti and Poliform throughout. A wealth of entertainment and wellness facilities lie in wait, including a fully equipped gym, private cinema, bowling alley, and billiards room. Outside, a 65-metre swimming pool – framed by natural sandblasted stonework and featuring a captivating waterfall – stands as the envy of the neighbourhood.
Casa Del Sole remains firmly off the market for now, but should it ever return, buyers can probably expect a price above the AED 302.5 million it achieved in 2022.
Property on Palm Jumeirah is some of the most exclusive not just in Dubai, but across the UAE and GCC countries. Since Q1 of 2017, the average square footage has increased in valuation by more than AED 500 and now stands at an impressive AED 2,039.
The highly sought-after nature of these mansions brings an air of exclusivity, unlike very few other areas. With average property prices on The Palm increasing by 20.04% since Q1 2024, there will likely be more record-breaking deals in the future.
