Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz Developments

Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz is a residential building by Imtiaz Developments on Island A at Dubai Islands. It holds 63 fully furnished residences, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments plus 3 bedroom penthouses, arranged over a ground level, two podium parking levels, eight residential floors and a roof level, with handover scheduled for Q1 2027.

Sunset Bay 3 is on Island A at Dubai Islands. According to the developer's fact sheet, Infinity Bridge and the Waterfront Market are about 5 minutes away by car, Al Mamzar Beach about 8 minutes, Dubai International Airport about 12 minutes, the Cruise Terminal and La Mer Beach about 15 minutes, and Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall about 24 minutes.

1 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 1.90M ≈ USD 518K for approximately 942 to 1,047 sq ft (88 to 97 sq m). 2 Bedroom Apartments start from AED 2.74M ≈ USD 746K for approximately 1,348 to 2,193 sq ft (125 to 204 sq m). 3 Bedroom Penthouses start from AED 4.30M ≈ USD 1.17M for approximately 2,058 sq ft (191 sq m). Final prices depend on the floor, view and availability at the time of booking.

Yes. The developer's brochure lists every residence at Sunset Bay 3 as fully furnished with bespoke interiors, so the purchase price covers the furniture package rather than an empty unit. The furnishing schedule for each layout is set out in the sale documents and is worth checking item by item against the unit at handover.

The developer lists a rooftop infinity pool, jacuzzi, sunken lounge, water lounges, floating islands, a water feature, an outdoor dining and BBQ area, kids' playground, outdoor yoga, a ping pong table, an outdoor shower, a seating zone and a meeting area, together with a clubhouse with indoor games, a gym with a strength and training zone, landscaped Urban Woods pathways and EV charging stations.

Handover is scheduled for Q1 2027. The building is under construction and in the later part of its schedule, which is also when the final 40% completion payment comes into view. Dated progress against the Dubai Land Department project register is tracked in the Sunset Bay 3 construction updates guide.

Sunset Bay 3 uses a date-based 60/40 plan: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, then 5% on 15 June 2025, 5% on 15 October 2025, 10% on 15 February 2026, 10% on 15 June 2026 and 10% on 15 October 2026, with the remaining 40% on completion in Q1 2027. Buyers entering now settle the instalments already due at signing, per the developer's current terms, so the schedule should be confirmed with the developer for each unit.

The main cost on top of the purchase price is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid at booking alongside the first 20% instalment. It is a government registration fee calculated on the purchase price, and it sits outside both the price itself and the instalments of the payment plan.

Yes. Sunset Bay 3 by Imtiaz is a freehold property, open to all nationalities, so international buyers can hold the title in their own name.

It depends on the unit type. The 2 Bedroom Apartments from AED 2.74M and the 3 Bedroom Penthouses from AED 4.30M sit at or above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, while the 1 Bedroom Apartments from AED 1.90M fall below it on their own. The qualifying value is assessed on the title deed or DLD valuation, and the dedicated Sunset Bay 3 Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps in detail.

Off plan payments for Sunset Bay 3 are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. Learn more in the Sunset Bay 3 escrow account guide.

Yes. The full process, from reservation and the sale and purchase agreement to payment and registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with the developer on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
