Buy property in Dubai over AED 30M
Above AED 30M you are in Dubai's trophy tier: signature villas and mansions on Palm Jumeirah, custom estates in Emirates Hills and Al Barari, and waterfront mansions in District One and Jumeirah Bay Island. These are the emirate's most exclusive addresses, and many change hands privately.
What you can buy above AED 30M
At this level you are buying scarcity: signature and custom villas on the best fronds of Palm Jumeirah, bespoke mansions in Emirates Hills, contemporary estates in Al Barari, and waterfront mansions in District One and on Jumeirah Bay Island.
These homes are defined by land, position, architecture and privacy rather than size alone. Many of the finest never appear on a portal and are introduced discreetly to qualified buyers.
Which communities and property types fit
Palm Jumeirah offers signature villas and branded residences with direct beach frontage. Emirates Hills is Dubai's address for custom mansions on large plots, while Al Barari is known for green, low-density estates. District One and Jumeirah Bay Island provide crystal-lagoon and island-front mansions close to the centre.
Because supply is limited and demand global, discretion and access matter. Working with a brokerage that transacts at this level is often the only way to see the best homes.

What it costs to buy, at any budget
Beyond the price, budget roughly 6 to 8 percent of the property value in one-off costs. This is led by the 4 percent Dubai Land Department transfer fee, plus agency commission (typically 2 percent plus 5 percent VAT) and registration and conveyancing charges.
Dubai has no annual property tax and no capital gains tax on a sale. In the emirate's designated freehold areas, foreign nationals can own apartments, townhouses and villas outright, with no residency requirement. A property valued at AED 2M or more can also support a 10-year Golden Visa application.
