The EQT Private Office · RERA-registered brokerage · Published August 26, 2026 · Updated September 24, 2026
As an indicative 2026 guide, Palm Jumeirah apartments start at roughly AED 2.5M for a smaller unit and run past AED 15M for a large branded or sea-facing residence. Penthouses start around AED 20M, and the largest penthouses and mansions reach well into nine figures. Townhouses and villas start at about AED 14M, with signature villas listed between AED 37M and AED 120M+. Per square foot, expect roughly AED 2,500-5,000 on apartments and AED 4,000-9,000+ on prime villas, depending on building or frond, view, age and fit-out. Use these bands to frame a budget; a specific home needs a comparable-based valuation.

Apartment prices on Palm Jumeirah
Apartments are the Palm's most affordable tier and cover the widest range. Older Shoreline and trunk buildings offer the lowest entry, with smaller one-bedroom units from around AED 2.5M. Two and three-bedroom homes in these towers commonly sit in the AED 4M-9M region.
Newer and branded developments along the crescent and trunk command a clear premium. Larger sea-facing residences, penthouses and half-floor units in landmark towers often trade from AED 12M to well past AED 25M. Per square foot, apartments work out to roughly AED 2,500-5,000, with the branded and sea-facing top end pushing higher.
Penthouses, mansions and branded residences
At the top of the market sit full-floor penthouses, custom mansions and the newest branded residences. Penthouses in landmark towers commonly start around AED 20M and rise into the AED 50M-150M+ range for the largest sky homes with private pools and panoramic views.
Branded residences, where a global hospitality or fashion name attaches to the building and its services, carry a premium for the brand, the finish and the managed lifestyle over comparable unbranded stock. Custom mansions on the crescent and premium fronds are priced one by one. In this tier scarcity, provenance and finish count for as much as floor area, so price per square foot tells you less than a close look at the specific home.
Townhouses and villas at a glance
Villa buyers have several price points. Palma Residences holds the smallest villas on the island, listed from about AED 14M, and Canal Cove townhouses and villas list from about AED 19M. Frond Garden Homes list at about AED 24M-85M, and Signature Villas with private beach frontage list from about AED 37M to AED 120M+ (Property Finder asking prices, September 2026). Prime villas work out to roughly AED 4,000-9,000+ per square foot.
Our Palm Jumeirah villa price guide covers each villa type in detail, along with transaction fees, a worked example of the total outlay and ongoing ownership costs.
What actually drives the price
For apartments and penthouses, five factors explain most of the difference between two homes. Building age and brand: a newer or branded tower sells at a clear premium to an older Shoreline block. Floor and view: a high floor with a clear sea or skyline view prices well above a low floor facing the road or a neighbouring tower. Size and layout: half-floor and full-floor units sit in their own bracket. Renovation: a fully refitted, turnkey unit trades well above one that needs work. Liquidity: the best sea-facing units are scarce and sell fast, sometimes privately, so what is on the market right now moves the achievable price as much as any fixed metric.
Villas follow their own logic, led by frond position, plot and beach width, orientation and rebuild quality. The villa price guide walks through those drivers.
How to get an accurate figure for a specific home
Guide bands set a budget; they do not value a specific property. For an accurate number you need recent, verified comparable sales for that exact building or frond, adjusted for floor, view, plot and renovation, plus a read on what is available right now and how fast it is selling.
Our own transaction record helps here. The EQT Palm Jumeirah Index on our community page is built only from our verified completed sales, and our team can pull like-for-like comparables and current off-market availability for the home you are considering. Send us the building or frond and we will come back with specific numbers, not a range.
Frequently asked
How much does an apartment on Palm Jumeirah cost?+
From around AED 2.5M for a smaller one-bedroom in an older tower. Two and three-bedroom units commonly cost AED 4M-9M, and larger sea-facing or branded residences run from AED 12M past AED 25M. Price per square foot is roughly AED 2,500-5,000, and each figure varies by building, floor, view and fit-out.
How much is a villa on Palm Jumeirah?+
Villas start from about AED 14M at Palma Residences and AED 19M at Canal Cove. Garden Homes list around AED 24M-85M, and Signature Villas with private beach frontage run from AED 37M to AED 120M and beyond. Our villa price guide breaks down each type and the full cost of buying.
What is the price per square foot on Palm Jumeirah?+
Roughly AED 2,500-5,000 per square foot on apartments and AED 4,000-9,000+ on prime villas, with branded, sea-facing and fully renovated homes at the top of each range. Square-foot pricing is less reliable at the trophy end, where scarcity and finish matter more than floor area.
What is the cheapest way to buy on Palm Jumeirah?+
The lowest entry is a smaller apartment in an older Shoreline or trunk building, from around AED 2.5M. It still buys a Palm Jumeirah address with beach and community access, though not the private-beach villa lifestyle. Our team can show current availability at the entry end.
Why do two similar Palm homes sell for very different prices?+
Position, view and orientation, renovation quality, beach access and brand can each move the price by a wide margin. Two villas on the same frond can differ by tens of millions on rebuild quality and outlook alone. A guide range is a starting point; a valuation based on real comparables tells you what a specific home is worth.
Are Palm Jumeirah prices still rising in 2026?+
Supply on the Palm is capped on a finite island while global demand for beachfront trophy homes remains strong, which has historically supported prices. Past performance does not guarantee future results and values can move both ways. For a current read on your specific tier, speak to our team.
