Palm Jumeirah is a world-famous man-made island shaped like a palm tree and has many luxury properties, contemporary hotels, restaurants, and some of Dubai's most fantastic views. It's also home to the iconic Atlantis Hotel. Visitors come to the Palm for its beauty but stay for its lifestyle and residential attractions. The attractions range from waterfront apartments to expansive villas. It’s a picturesque town with pristine homes and green spaces.

Palm Jumeirah is a beautiful place to live. The private beaches and premier facilities make you feel like you're living in a holiday resort. Some areas, like Shoreline, have nearby amenities, including grocery stores and restaurants. Palm Jumeirah is also renowned for its amazing five-star hotels and fine dining.

Palm Jumeirah Community Overview

Driving around Palm Jumeirah is easy, with plenty of signposts and directions to the fronds. The Palm has good public transport links, including bus routes, water taxis, and Palm Monorail. While vacant RTA taxis can sometimes be hard to find, many private taxis at hotels, spas, and beach resorts are available. Water taxis are a quick way to access the fronds and Crescent, and routes include Al Sufouh Road to Sofitel Dubai or Dubai Marina to the One & Only Resort.

You'll love the experience called Palm Jumeirah, which includes the stellar views, stunning apartments, gorgeous mansions, and the beach at your doorstep. Residents can enjoy strolls along the boulevard and access resort-style amenities, including the 5.4-kilometre long Monorail connecting to the Atlantis Hotel. Additionally, the community provides ease of connectivity to business hubs like Dubai Media City and Dubai Marina, along with a range of residential, retail, and leisure amenities within the island.

Your Living Options

Due to its status as an iconic and exclusive residential island, most developments are built with great quality finishes and facilities, including state-of-the-art gyms and swimming pools. Additionally, residents can enjoy access to spas, beaches, and fine dining at nearby hotels.

The trunk is home to apartment towers, low-rise buildings, and hotel apartments, while the fronds cater to exclusive villas. Two notable residences on the trunk are the Oceana and Tiara Residences, boasting high-quality, spacious apartments with good views, great restaurants, excellent gyms, a river around each complex, infinity pools, and a private beach. You'll find one, two, and three-bedroom apartments plus four to five-bedroom penthouses.

Shoreline Apartments was one of the first buildings to be handed over on The Palm by Nakheel. While the quality is quite basic, the properties are spacious, between 800 sq. ft. up to 1,200 sq. ft. Fairmont The Palm is another popular choice where residents can take advantage of the hotel, swimming pools, and a stunning stretch of beach.

The homes on The Palm's fronds are the only villas in Dubai with private beaches. The further along the frond you live, the higher the sale price is because of the expanse of sea – and therefore greater privacy. There are over 150 villas on each frond, and there are two types of properties, Garden Homes and Signature Villas, with four to six bedrooms. Homeowners can extend and remodel the Signature Villas, which gives them freedom and diversity. On Frond N, homeowners can buy a plot and build a villa according to their design, within reason. 

Property Overview

Families prefer large villas, while singles and couples prefer apartments. Palm used to attract many investors, but end users now have a high market share. While only the wealthy can afford to buy here, rental prices are affordable for those earning in the middle-income brackets, especially in Shoreline Apartments. Palm Jumeirah is a top pick for those looking to rent luxury spots, especially among investors keen on purchasing properties in Dubai.
