PALM JUMEIRAH
Palm Jumeirah is the famous palm-tree-shaped island you can see from space. This incredible island extends into the Arabian Gulf and is one of the world’s most impressive building projects. It created a new coastline with luxury homes, top hotels, and private beaches.
This is Dubai’s most prestigious address. Palm Jumeirah offers ultra-luxury island living surrounded by blue waters, world-famous resorts, and complete privacy. Living on the Palm feels special because there are only a few ways to enter the island, making it safe and exclusive.

These properties have exclusive features like private beach access, infinity pools looking at the Gulf, and you’re close to five-star hotel facilities. If you want a villa on the beach or a luxury apartment with hotel services, Palm Jumeirah is the most famous and special place to live in Dubai.

Dubai and Property – FAQs
How much does a villa cost on Palm Jumeirah?
Villas on Palm Jumeirah are very expensive. Garden homes (smallest villas) start from around AED 10-15 million. Larger signature villas on the fronds with private beach access cost AED 20-40 million or more. Luxury custom villas on prime plots can exceed AED 100 million. These prices include the villa, land, and usually private beach access. Apartments on the Palm are more affordable, starting from around AED 2-3 million for 1-bedroom units.
Can anyone access the beaches on Palm Jumeirah or are they private?
Most beaches on Palm Jumeirah are private. Villa owners have their own private beach in front of their property. Apartment residents in buildings like Oceana, Tiara, or Azure have access to the building’s private beach. The public cannot access these private beaches. However, there are beach clubs on the Palm (like Riva Beach Club, Club Vista Mare) where you can buy membership or day passes to access beach facilities.
What are the yearly costs of owning a Palm Jumeirah property?
Besides your mortgage (if you have one), yearly costs include service charges (AED 20-35 per square foot for apartments, or AED 40,000-100,000+ for villas), property cooling charges if not included in service charge, DEWA (electricity and water) which can be high especially for villas, home insurance, and property management fees if you rent out your property. For a 2-bedroom apartment, expect around AED 40,000-60,000 per year in total costs. For villas, annual costs can exceed AED 200,000.
Is Palm Jumeirah a good investment or better for living?
Palm Jumeirah is better for living than pure investment. Rental returns are typically 4-5% per year, which is lower than other Dubai areas. However, Palm properties hold their value very well and usually appreciate (increase in value) over time because of the iconic location and limited supply. If you want to live in luxury and prestige, Palm is perfect. If you want maximum rental income, other areas give better returns. Many buyers choose Palm for the lifestyle, not just investment.
How do I get on and off Palm Jumeirah?
There is only one main road – the Palm Jumeirah Bridge – that connects the island to the mainland. This is the route cars use. The Palm Monorail train also connects from the Gateway Station (at the trunk) to Atlantis at the top of the island. During peak hours, the bridge can have traffic congestion. However, living on an island with limited access also provides security and exclusivity. Most residents find the access acceptable, and the monorail offers an alternative during traffic.
