Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is a visionary island project off the coast of Deira that combines modern living with the feeling of an exclusive retreat. The five interconnected islands combine luxurious resorts, stylish residences, expansive beaches and lush green spaces - with close proximity to Dubai's historic old town. Thanks to its strategic location, Downtown Dubai, the international airport and major transportation links are within easy reach. Dubai Islands not only offers breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf, but also a lifestyle that combines tranquillity, nature and urban comfort.

Dubai Islands (formerly Deira Islands) are an ambitious island project by Nakheel - five artificially created islands with a total area of over 17 km² (dubai-islands.org).

Special features & character:

Luxury resorts, residential complexes & cultural zones: The master-planned concept includes over 80 hotels, world-class beaches, green spaces, cultural venues and shopping opportunities (nakheel.com).

Variety of property types:

From elegant apartments and townhouses to sumptuous villas with up to eight bedrooms, each island has its own residential identity (luxhabitat.ae).

Beaches & recreation:

More than 20 km of fine sandy coastline, including blue flag beaches, great promenades and spacious parks (kotook.ae).

Shopping & leisure:

Future Dubai Islands Mall: The central shopping center is planned for around 1,100 retail spaces and is set to become the heart of the island community (kotook.ae). Night market & maritime flair: A large Deira Night Souk is planned along the coast as well as marinas, marina zones and restaurants on the waterfront (en.wikipedia.org).

Education & health:

Educational opportunities: Renowned schools such as Victoria International School (~12 km), Pristine Private School (~10 km) and The Elite English School (~6 km) are accessible in the area (dubaiislandsproperty.com).

Medical care:

Hospitals such as Dubai Hospital (6 km), Canadian Specialist Hospital (7 km) and International Modern Hospital (10 km) provide good care (dubaiislandsproperty.com).

Location & transport connections:

Strategic proximity to the mainland: Only about 20 min drive to DXB airport and 25 min to Downtown Dubai; close to the city center thanks to Deira Bridge with navigable bridges to all islands (dubaiislandsproperty.com). Roads, bus & boat connections: Access via D75/D88, Deira Bridge and further improved infrastructure in the future; water cabs and yacht services provide convenient accessibility (kotook.ae).

Local supply & mobility:

Dubai Islands are realizing the vision of Dubai according to the 2040 master plan - a vibrant, sustainable island district that elegantly combines urban living and tourist highlights. The first hotels such as Hotel RIU, Centara Mirage and Park Regis by Prince are already in operation; numerous residential and hotel projects are currently under construction.
