Bay Estates
Beachfront townhouses and villas on Dubai Islands, Island E. Of the 129 Dubai Islands projects we track, 118 are apartment buildings. Bay Estates is land, on the beach, about 20 to 25 minutes from DIFC.
Four house types
These are the expected starting prices and sizes circulating ahead of launch. Nakheel has not published a final price list or a payment plan. We will send you the confirmed sheet the moment it is issued, and nothing here should be treated as a quote.
Implied price per sqft is the expected starting price divided by the built up area. It is arithmetic on the expected figures above, not a published Nakheel number. The standalone villa carries a 7,200 sqft plot, so it owns more land per dirham than the built up figure alone suggests.
Where this sits on the islands
These are the four Dubai Islands projects in our catalogue where we hold a real price per sqft figure. It is a small sample, so read it as four named reference points rather than an island average.
Read this fairly. The four reference points are apartments and branded residences, and an apartment price per sqft is not a like for like comparison with a townhouse that comes with its own plot. What the chart does show is the order of magnitude: beachfront stock on Dubai Islands has been selling in the thousands per sqft, and the expected Bay Estates figures sit well below that while including land. Verify every number against the developer sheet before you transact.
Why Bay Estates, and why Island E
Six reasons, each one checkable. Where a number comes from our own catalogue we say so, and where it is an expectation rather than a fact we say that too.
Houses here are genuinely scarce
We track 129 projects on Dubai Islands. 118 of them are apartment buildings. Before Bay Estates the only house product in our catalogue on the islands was Rixos, from AED 12M. A townhouse expected from AED 5.2M changes what the entry point to a beachfront house on the islands looks like.
You are buying land, not just air
Every type comes with a plot, from 2,500 sqft on the 3 bed townhouse up to 7,200 sqft on the standalone villa. On the corner townhouse and both villas the plot is larger than the built up area. Land on a beachfront island in central Dubai is finite in a way that apartment floors are not.
Central, not a commute
Dubai Islands sits off Deira, not out on the edge of the city. The drive to DIFC is roughly 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic, and Dubai International is closer still. Compare that with beachfront villa communities further down the coast, where the same money buys a much longer run into town.
Nakheel is the master developer here
Nakheel built Palm Jumeirah, the World Islands and Palm Jebel Ali, and it is the master developer of Dubai Islands itself. We track 81 Nakheel projects. A master developer selling on its own island controls the beach, the roads and the phasing, which matters for how a community actually turns out.
Registration costs you nothing
There is no EOI on this release, so no cheque and no deposit to hold a place in the queue. Registration is the whole mechanism. That makes the downside of registering early close to zero, and the upside is unit selection on launch day.
Freehold, with the usual UAE upside
Dubai Islands is freehold for all nationalities, with full ownership of the property and the plot. There is no annual property tax in Dubai, and a purchase at AED 2 million or above supports a ten year Golden Visa. Every Bay Estates type sits above that on the expected figures.
No EOI. No waiting. Registration only.
This launch runs on a registration list rather than an expression of interest cheque. The earlier you register, the stronger your priority when unit selection opens.

Bay Estates, answered
Are these prices confirmed?+
No. Every figure on this page is an expected starting price circulating ahead of launch. Nakheel has not published a final price list. We publish the expectations because they are what buyers are being shown, and label them clearly so nobody treats them as a quote. The confirmed sheet goes to registered buyers first.
What is the payment plan?+
The down payment is 10% on booking. Nakheel has not yet issued the rest of the schedule, so how the remaining 90% is split across construction and handover is still unknown, and we will not invent it. Dubai beachfront launches commonly run 60/40 or 70/30 construction linked plans, but that is a pattern rather than a fact about Bay Estates. Registered buyers get the full schedule first.
What does no EOI actually mean?+
An expression of interest usually means handing over a cheque, often AED 50,000 to 100,000, to hold a place in the queue. This launch has none. You register with your details only, and no money changes hands until you select a unit and sign. It lowers the cost of getting in line to nothing.
Why do you need a passport copy?+
Nakheel requires it to complete priority registration and to issue the reservation form in your name. We collect it over WhatsApp or email after we have spoken to you, never through a public web form, because an identity document should not be uploaded to a landing page.
Where exactly is Island E?+
Dubai Islands is a five island development off the Deira coastline, and Island E is one of them. The whole masterplan is Nakheel's. The drive to DIFC is roughly 20 to 25 minutes and Dubai International is closer still. The beach frontage is the point: this is a waterfront community rather than an inland one.
Can a foreign national buy here?+
Yes. Dubai Islands is freehold for all nationalities, with full ownership of the property and the plot. There is no annual property tax in Dubai. A purchase at AED 2 million or above supports an application for the ten year Golden Visa, and every Bay Estates type sits above that on the expected figures.
How is priority decided?+
By when you register. There is no cheque to jump the queue with, so the list is the mechanism. Registering early and giving us a clear brief on type and budget is what puts you in a strong position on selection day.
Bay Estates is a forthcoming release by Nakheel on Dubai Islands, Island E. REEMAH ELITE is an independent RERA registered brokerage and is not Nakheel. All prices, sizes, plot areas and handover expectations on this page are pre launch expectations, are not confirmed by the developer, and are subject to change or withdrawal without notice. Price per sqft figures are arithmetic on those expected prices and are not published developer figures. The comparison figures are drawn from the REEMAH ELITE catalogue and cover four named Dubai Islands projects, which is a small sample and is presented as such. Nothing on this page is an offer, a contract, or investment advice. Verify everything against Nakheel’s own documentation before you transact.
