Overview
Dubai Islands Community Overview
Master Developer
Nakheel is the master developer of Dubai Islands and the emirate's largest reclaimed coastal masterplans.
Location
On Dubai's northern coastline beside Deira, linked to the mainland by the Infinity Bridge.
Residential Scale
More than 28,500 homes planned on Island A alone, across apartments, townhouses, villas and estates.
Delivery Status
Early residential launches are underway on Islands A, B and E, with further phases still releasing.
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's answer to a simple constraint: Dubai's original coastline ran out. The masterplan adds 17 square kilometers of land across five islands, each built around a defined role, from the urban density of Island A to the private estates of Island E. Together they add more than 60 kilometers of coastline and over 20 kilometers of beach to the city.
For buyers, the defining factor is timing. This is an early-cycle destination: Island A carries the commercial core and Deira Mall, Islands B and E hold the first residential launches, and Islands C and D are still ahead. Several developers are active alongside Nakheel, including Imtiaz on Island A and Beyond's SIORA district on Island B, so product, pricing, and payment plans vary sharply between islands.

The Vision Behind Dubai Islands
Five interconnected islands sit inside a single 17 square kilometer masterplan by Nakheel, designed to extend Dubai's coastline northward and create a new generation of waterfront communities. Residential districts, resorts, marinas, golf courses, retail hubs, and public beaches are planned as one coastal city rather than five separate projects.
Each island carries a defined role: the urban core on Island A, resort communities on Island B, a wellness landscape on Island C, leisure and hospitality on Island D, and the ultra-luxury enclave of Island E. That structure is what keeps living, tourism, and investment product separated rather than competing along the same shoreline.
Sub-Communities
The Five Islands of Dubai Islands
The masterplan is not one community but five, each with its own density, product mix, and delivery timeline. Island A is the urban and commercial core, Island B is where most current residential launches sit, and Island E is reserved for the largest private beachfront estates.
Island A
The urban core: Imtiaz towers, Deira Mall, and more than 28,500 planned residential units.
Island B
Resort-led district holding Bay Villas, Bay Grove Residences, and the SIORA waterfront community by Beyond.
Island C
The wellness island, master-planned around calmer residential communities and Dubai's expanding northern waterfront vision.
Island D
The leisure and resort island, planned around hospitality projects, beachfront residences, and waterfront lifestyle developments.
Island E
The ultra-luxury enclave: future Nakheel Villas launches, private beachfront plots, and the destination's most exclusive homes.

Location
Dubai Islands Location on the Dubai Map
Dubai Islands sits on Dubai's northern coastline directly opposite Deira, connected to the mainland by the Infinity Bridge and the surrounding road network. That keeps Dubai International Airport and the Deira commercial district within easy reach, while the islands themselves stay separated from mainland traffic by water.

FAQ
Dubai Islands Frequently Asked Questions
Nakheel is the master developer. It is the same developer behind Palm Jumeirah and Dubai's other large reclaimed waterfront communities, and it controls the Dubai Islands masterplan while individual plots are built out by Nakheel itself and by third-party developers.
Five, labeled Island A through Island E. Each was planned around a different concept: urban core, resort communities, wellness, leisure, and ultra-luxury estates, so the property mix and the price bracket differ noticeably from one island to the next.
No. Every residential project within the masterplan starts at one bedroom. The absence of studio inventory is a deliberate positioning decision, and it shapes both the buyer profile and the rental market across all five islands.
Nakheel, Imtiaz Developments, and Beyond are the main names to date. Current projects include Bay Villas and Bay Grove Residences by Nakheel, and the SIORA district by Beyond, which includes Hado at SIORA.
Apartments from one bedroom upward, townhouses, villas ranging from three to seven bedrooms, branded residences tied to hotel operators, and ultra-luxury estates on Island E. Most homes carry direct beach, marina, or promenade access.
Nakheel Villas are on Island B. Further launches are planned for Island E, the island reserved for private beachfront living and the largest estate plots in the masterplan.
SIORA is a waterfront district by Beyond on Island B. It is made up of contemporary residences, including the Hado at SIORA project.
Imtiaz Developments is building on Island A, inside the urban and mixed-use core of the masterplan, where residential density and commercial floorspace are concentrated.
Deira Mall covers 600,000 square meters, equivalent to 6.45 million square feet, and is planned to hold more than 1,100 retail outlets alongside dining and entertainment venues. It anchors the commercial core of Island A.
Two: an 18-hole championship course and a 9-hole course, both planned with ocean and park views.
The arguments in favor are limited coastal land supply, a waterfront position, heavy tourism infrastructure, and several established developers committing capital. The counterweight is that most of the masterplan is still unbuilt, so outcomes depend on delivery over a long horizon and on which island and phase a unit sits in.
Yes. The Infinity Bridge and the surrounding road network link the islands directly to Deira, with onward access to Dubai International Airport and the wider city.
