Palm Jumeirah fronds
Frond M, Palm Jumeirah
Frond M is the fifth frond on the western, Dubai Marina side of Palm Jumeirah. Its road, Al Sefri, runs about 1.8 km from the trunk to the tip (EQT measurement from OpenStreetMap), making it the joint longest frond on the island with Frond D, and its mapped road, including the loop at the tip, is the longest of all at about 2.1 km. It holds Nakheel Garden Homes and Signature Villas as well as named projects such as Ocean Breeze and Villa Aurum.
Frond M sits in the lower half of the western side, close enough to the mainland end for easy access but long enough to reach well out into the water. Its tip is about 2.8 km from Ain Dubai.
Along with the original villas, the frond has some newer, larger homes. Ocean Breeze was built by AA Real Estate Development Company between 2014 and 2018, according to Propsearch, and Gulf News placed Villa Aurum, one of a collection of five landmark homes, on the frond tip.

Which way Frond M faces
The frond road heads south south west from the trunk, at about 213 degrees. One row of villas has beaches facing west north west, out towards the open sea and the sunset; the other faces east south east, towards Frond N and the mainland shore.
From the tip, Ain Dubai is about 2.8 km to the south, Atlantis The Palm about 2.9 km to the north and Atlantis The Royal about 3.7 km (EQT measurements from OpenStreetMap). Sotheby's described a Frond M villa it marketed in 2023 as having views of both Atlantis hotels.
Ocean Breeze, Villa Aurum and recorded deals
Propsearch shows Dubai Land Department records for Ocean Breeze that include a sale at AED 135 million in October 2024 (12,055 sq ft) and one at AED 102 million in September 2023 (14,451 sq ft). Read these with care: the records list the property use as commercial and repeat the same sizes across several deals, so they may not each be a single villa as a buyer would picture it.
Gulf News reported in March 2021 that Villa Aurum, on the frond tip with a plot of over 1,300 sq m, was being marketed at around AED 100 million. In June 2023 Sotheby's featured a six bedroom Frond M villa at AED 125 million. Both were asking prices.
Frond M or Frond D
The two longest fronds sit on opposite sides of the island. Frond D faces the Burj Al Arab side, with its tip about 4.2 km from the hotel; Frond M faces the Dubai Marina side. Frond M's entrance is about 830 m from the Palm Jumeirah Mall monorail station, compared with about 820 m for D, so access is almost identical.
