Beachfront island living off historic Deira
Community guide
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's waterfront master community off the Deira coastline, a group of connected islands planned around open beaches, marinas and resorts, with apartments, townhouses, villas and penthouses available largely off plan.
Dubai Islands is one of the emirate's most talked about waterfront destinations, a Nakheel master plan set across a group of connected islands just off historic Deira. The vision brings together long stretches of open beach, marinas, parks and resort hotels alongside a growing residential offer that spans apartments, townhouses, villas and penthouses. Much of the community is still off plan, which gives early buyers a wide choice of layouts, views and payment plans, and its position places residents within easy reach of Dubai International Airport, the historic Deira souks and the wider city. For buyers who want a beach address with room to grow, Dubai Islands sits at the front of the current market.
