Nakheel has revealed its new concept for Dubai Islands (previously called Deira Islands) on Dubai’s northern coastline. In line with Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, the 5-island development will offer a premium waterfront living experience, as it will house various cultural hubs, beach clubs and recreational sport beaches, which will boast close proximity to the emirate’s mainland and airport.

As well as all the above, the master plan of Dubai Islands includes more than 80 wellness and luxury resorts, as well as boutiques, and family orientated eco-friendly hotels. With over 65,000 sq. ft of beaches, including a Blue Flag-certified beach, about 21.5 million sq. ft of open spaces and parks, alongside world-class golf courses, the upcoming development will stretch across the length of the beaches and spaces designated for public parks.

In order to promote healthy and active communities, Dubai Islands will boast an excellent network of marina promenades and pathways for road and water transportation, as well as biking and walking paths. It is worth noting that the islands are situated just a short drive away from Jumeirah, Dubai Creek, Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport.

Naaman Atallah, CEO at Nakheel, stated:

Dubai Islands are an integral part of the future vision for the emirate, focusing on enhancing the health, happiness and wellbeing of residents and visitors, as well as providing the highest standards and a variety of urban infrastructure and facilities. Dubai Islands will add to the Nakheel portfolio of residential, retail, hospitality and leisure developments, offering another destination within a destination.

Among the most famous Nakheel master developments are The World, Warsan Village, Nad Al Sheba Villas, Jumeirah Park, Al Furjan, The Gardens, Dragon City and Palm Jumeirah. That being said, the latter has the highest annual rental price for apartments in Dubai, which is set at AED 218,420 (USD 60,000), as reported by CBRE.
