Palm Jumeirah: off-plan property and the area
Palm Jumeirah is a palm-shaped man-made island and one of Dubai’s most recognisable addresses, with beachfront residences, villas and hotels.
In short Beachfront apartments and villas. The premium end of the market. Resort hotels and restaurants. Many developments have their own beaches. What the area is like The island is made up of a trunk lined with residential buildings and fronds lined with villas. It is home to well-known hotels and beach clubs.
Who it suits Buyers of premium homes by the sea, and investors counting on rentals at the top end of the market.
Transport A monorail runs along the island’s trunk; the island connects to the mainland near Sheikh Zayed Road, and to the outer crescent by an undersea tunnel.
What homes are sold here Apartments in residences on the trunk and crescent, villas on the fronds. New projects are most often branded beachfront residences.
