Dubai’s New Islands—The Next Frontier in Waterfront Luxury and Investment

Dubai is reshaping its coastline with visionary island projects like Dubai Islands, Palm Jebel Ali, The World Islands, Bluewaters, and Marsa Al Arab. Offering luxury residences, mega-hotels, and prime investment potential, these new developments mark the next frontier in waterfront living and global real estate.

Dubai continues to redefine coastal development with its grand artificial island projects, reshaping the skyline and offering unmatched investment opportunities.

1. Dubai Islands: The Crown Jewel Off Deira

Formerly known as Palm Deira and Deira Islands, the Dubai Islands project was relaunched in 2022 by Nakheel, promising a visionary five-island development spanning 17 square kilometers—over three times the size of Palm Jumeirah and nearly eight times Monaco .

The master plan features luxury residences, 80+ hotels, marinas, golf courses, and a mix of retail, wellness, and cultural hubs . As of 2025, notable hotels operating there include:

  • RIU Dubai (800 keys, opened Dec 2020)
  • Centara Mirage Beach Resort (607 keys, Oct 2021)
  • Park Regis by Prince Dubai Islands (159 keys, Mar 2024) .

Market insights reveal this development is delightfully affordable compared to established waterfront areas—at roughly AED 2,162 psf, it’s about 55% cheaper than Palm Jumeirah and expected to experience considerable growth.

2. Palm Jebel Ali: Relaunching a Bold Palm Legacy

Once paused, Palm Jebel Ali, conceived in 2002, was revived in 2024. This bold design stretches across a giant palm structure, featuring six marinas, a water theme park, stilted homes, and promenades—though some design elements have since evolved .

3. The World Islands: A Revival of Vision

Formed in the shape of a world map, this ambitious archipelago of 300 individual isles began in 2003 but stalled around 2008 . Now, the Sajwani family is spearheading the revival through the “Amali Island” project—creating 24 luxury beachfront mansions, a beach club, and dual helipads. Nineteen villas are already sold, with price tags north of $13.6 million .

4. Bluewaters Island: Established and Thriving

Launched in 2018, Bluewaters Island sits near Jumeirah Beach Residence and is home to the iconic Ain Dubai, the world’s tallest Ferris wheel. It blends entertainment, retail, hospitality, and residential zones, drawing over 3 million visitors annually .

5. Marsa Al Arab: A New-to-Feature Pair of Islands

Planned to flank the iconic Burj Al Arab, Marsa Al Arab aims to introduce two sweeping artificial islands—one hosting a family resort with water park and theater; the other offering luxury residences, a boutique hotel, marina, and several hotels—adding more than 2.2 km of beachfront to Dubai’s map .

Investment Highlights: Why These Islands Matter
