History & The Visionary Masterplan

Dubai Islands, formerly known as Deira Islands, represents one of Dubai’s most ambitious master developments, designed to reshape the city’s northern coastline. The project was relaunched under the new, dynamic identity of Dubai Islands by Nakheel, the master developer, to align with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.

The development spans over 17 square kilometres and comprises five interconnected islands: Central Island, Shore Island, Golf Island, Marina Island, and Elite Island. The vision is to create a sustainable, world-class mixed-use waterfront destination featuring:

  • Over 60 kilometres of exclusive waterfront.
  • More than 20 kilometres of pristine beaches, including the emirate’s first planned Blue Flag-approved beaches.
  • 87+ resorts and hotels, aiming to significantly boost Dubai’s tourism sector.
  • A major focus on sustainability, integrating smart city technologies and renewable energy efforts.
    The overall development is designed to accommodate over 38,000 residential units and is rapidly emerging as a northern investment gateway.

Property Types & Exclusive Collections

Dubai Islands caters to a wide spectrum of residents and investors, offering a much more diverse product mix than purely ultra-luxury developments. Properties are being developed both by master developer Nakheel and other leading private developers, promoting competition and variety.

Key property types include:

  • Luxury Apartments and Penthouses: Making up the majority of initial launches, these range from studios to 4-bedroom units. Projects like Bay Grove Residences by Nakheel and branded residences such as Rixos Dubai Islands Hotel & Residences offer premium, high-rise living with sea or marina views.
  • Waterfront Townhouses and Villas: Catering to families and high-net-worth individuals, these are found in lower-density clusters, especially on the Residential and Beachfront Islands, offering private beach access or golf course views. Nakheel’s Bay Villas and other luxury private estates fall into this category.

The community is segmented into five distinct islands:

  • Island A (Mixed-Use Core): The vibrant heart, featuring a premier shopping mall (Dubai Islands Mall), retail promenades, and commercial spaces.
  • Island B (Integrated Resorts & Communities): Focused on world-class hospitality and residential towers.
  • Island C (Oasis Island): A serene, wellness-focused escape with lush landscapes and retreats.
  • Marina Island: Home to luxury high-rise apartments and marinas capable of accommodating large yachts.

Golf Island: Centred around the new championship golf course and related residences
