Step inside five of the city’s most spectacular homes, represented exclusively by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty.
2025 is shaping up to be one of the strongest years on record for luxury real estate in Dubai. In the first half of the year, residential sales reached a staggering AED 268 billion, marking a 41% increase from the same period last year. The super prime segment is performing especially well, with a 63% year-on-year rise in sales above $10 million – the highest quarterly total ever recorded.
Demand remains most concentrated in the off-plan market, which accounted for 70% of all Q2 sales, alongside sustained appetite for beachfront homes on Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Bay Island. Inventory is shrinking in these segments, pushing prices to new highs. Below, we uncover five of the most valuable homes listed exclusively with Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty.
Bulgari Lighthouse Penthouse, Jumeirah Bay Island – AED 149,000,000

The seahorse-shaped Jumeirah Bay Island is one of Dubai’s most private addresses, with just 128 plots. It also serves as the de facto flagship for Bulgari in the region, with the world’s first Bulgari Marina & Yacht Club, the Bulgari Resort, and a collection of rare branded residences. Among the most significant is the Bulgari Lighthouse: a 27-storey landmark rising from the island’s ‘tail’, with just 31 full-floor residences.
On the market for AED 149 million, this five-bedroom penthouse offers a vantage point rarely matched in Dubai. Designed by Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel – the architects behind the Bulgari Resort – it merges marine-inspired architecture with Italian restraint. Coral-like awnings shade wraparound terraces, where 360-degree views stretch from open sea to city skyline. Inside, 11,656 sq. ft. of living space unfolds in travertine, timber, and stone, with a private pool on the terrace.
Residents of this home will enjoy privileged access to the resort and yacht club facilities, including a horizon pool with cabanas, Mediterranean gardens, concierge service, and Michelin-starred dining on-site. It is scheduled for completion in 2028 and is represented by Associate Director Lorna Bruce, a property expert with extensive experience in Dubai, London and Paris.
Four Seasons Private Residences Penthouse, Jumeirah – AED 140,000,000
Branded residences are among Dubai’s most sought-after homes, and this upgraded duplex at the Four Seasons Private Residences in Jumeirah shows exactly why. Spanning 7,180 sq. ft. across two levels, the home has been fully redesigned with a sharp eye for craftsmanship and composition. A custom Cesare Ferrari kitchen anchors the main floor, complemented by furnishings from Christian Liaigre and Hervé Van der Straeten, and layered textures by Hermès, Loro Piana, and Tai Ping.
Feature lighting by Armel Soyer and a curated selection of modern art add sculptural interest throughout.
Currently listed at AED 140 million, the layout includes a double living room, private library, and four en-suite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes. Languid evenings unfold on the landscaped terrace, complete with a lounge, bar, and private pool overlooking the Dubai Water Canal and Jumeirah skyline.
As part of the Four Seasons, residents enjoy access to a full suite of world-class amenities, including a private cinema, beach club, gym, and business lounge. The home is represented exclusively by Associate Director Lana Gorbach – an industry veteran who has blazed the trail in Dubai’s property market since 2005.
Six Senses Beachfront Villa, Palm Jumeirah – AED 140,000,000
It’s rare to find a branded home of this scale, and even rarer to find one that opens directly onto a private stretch of sand. Spanning 26,514 sq. ft., this Signature Villa in the Six Senses Private Residences unfolds across four levels with a glass façade angled to maximise views of the sea. Within, it has four en-suite bedrooms, a gym, and an expansive basement with a cinema and games room.
Priced at AED 140 million, the villa is a resort unto itself, with a rooftop terrace overlooking the Palm and a lush garden complete with a summer kitchen, dining area, and pool facing the beach. As part of Six Senses’ first residential resort in the UAE, residents have access to a spa, beach club, yoga decks, and a full suite of wellness-led amenities.

Jumeirah Asora Bay Penthouse, Jumeirah – AED 120,000,000
Tucked into the southern curve of La Mer, this five-bedroom penthouse is a triumph of organic beachfront design. On the market for AED 120 million, it is one of just 29 homes in the coveted Jumeirah Asora Bay, with a stunning private pool on the terrace. This design-led residence has exquisite interiors draped in dreamy tones of coral and terracotta. Deeply tranquil, floor-to-ceiling windows pull views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline into every corner.
A wraparound terrace stretches around the entire home – an idyllic setting for watching the sun set over the Gulf horizon. As part of Jumeirah Asora Bay, the home includes access to a full suite of wellness amenities, from a spa and yoga decks to a meditation area and coastal garden. It reflects a new chapter in Dubai’s architectural story – less urban, more organic, and sincerely focused on wellbeing.
This home is listed by Senior Property Consultant Filippo Tavernaro – a property expert who brings a unique background in civil engineering to his work.
Emerald Villa at XXII Carat, Palm Jumeirah – AED 110,000,000
A vision in bright terracotta, this spectacular seven-bedroom Mediterranean villa in the exclusive XXII Carat community is currently on the market for AED 110 million. Newly renovated, the interiors draw inspiration from homes on Paris’s Rue de l’Université, with crisp white walls, marble finishes, and elegant wainscoting.
Ideal for family living, the kitchen is imported from France and has exquisite detailing, a central stone island, and handmade cabinetry with a timber finish. Italian marble floors run underfoot throughout.
Outside, the garden is lush and cinematic, with a verdant grassy lawn, private pool, and terrace that gazes toward the open sea and Dubai Marina skyline. As part of XXII Carat, the home enjoys direct beach access along with entry to the residents-only clubhouse, spa, and signature restaurant.
This incredible villa is exclusively represented by Associate Director Stephan Hirzel, a highly experienced Swiss-born broker who has been trusted in the Dubai property market since 2003.
