Area Overview
Description
Palm Jebel Ali is a monumental 13.6 sq km island master-developed by Nakheel, spanning twice the size of Palm Jumeirah. Unlike the original Palm (24,632 units), it aggressively champions an exclusive, low-density design with only 1,789 planned residences across 16 fronds. In 2025, it overtook Palm Jumeirah as Dubai’s top destination for ultra-luxury properties priced above AED 20M, generating AED 35.1 billion in total sales. The market fiercely features 5 to 7-bedroom masterpieces in The Beach and Coral Collections (7,319 – 12,163 sq ft), alongside upscale developments by Select Group. Boasting a 110-kilometer coastline, 80 world-class hotels, and the sensational AED 18B MOON mega-resort, the island is backed by AED 17 billion in strategic financing. Core infrastructure completes in 2026, with the first massive villa handovers targeted for late 2027.
