If you’ve been hearing rumors that the “sleeping giant” of Dubai real estate has finally woken up, we are here to confirm them. Palm Jebel Ali is officially back, and the numbers are absolutely insane.
For years, this massive island sat quietly off the coast of Jebel Ali. But Nakheel has just hit the “Go” button, and they aren’t just building a neighborhood; they are practically building a new city.
Here is everything you need to know about the mega-launch that is shaking up the market.
1. The Scale is Hard to Comprehend 📏
You know Palm Jumeirah? The place visible from space? Well, Palm Jebel Ali puts it to shame.
- Double the Size: It spans a massive 13.4 square kilometers, making it twice the size of the original Palm Jumeirah.
- Coastline Goals: It adds over 110 kilometers of new coastline to Dubai. That means more beachfront homes and less fighting for a spot on the sand.
- Room for Everyone: When finished, it will host over 35,000 families.
2. The Villas: “The Beach” vs. “The Coral” 🏠
Nakheel has released the first wave of ultra-luxury homes, and they are split into two main vibes. If you have a budget starting around AED 18 million, here is what you can get:
- The Beach Collection: These are 5-6 bedroom villas designed for “indoor-outdoor” living. Think floor-to-ceiling glass, direct beach access, and designs by top architects like SAOTA.
- The Coral Collection: This is the next level up. These are exclusive 7-bedroom mansions focused on maximum privacy and luxury.
3. More Than Just Homes 🌴
This isn’t just a quiet suburb. The master plan includes over 80 new hotels and resorts. Imagine having 80 different “Atlantis-style” options just a short drive from your house. The island will also feature a massive “spine” connecting the fronds, filled with walkable parks, retail centers, and a new Friday Mosque.
4. When Can You Move In? 📅
Start packing… but maybe take your time. The major infrastructure contracts have been awarded to companies like Jan De Nul (the dredging experts), and villa handovers are currently expected to start around Q4 2027.
The LivDXB Verdict 🧐
For over a decade, Palm Jebel Ali was a “what if.” Now, it’s the hottest ticket in town. With prices on the original Palm Jumeirah already skyrocketing, this new island offers a chance to get in on the ground floor of something even bigger.
The real question is: Would you move further out to Jebel Ali for double the space, or is the Marina skyline view non-negotiable for you?
