Dubai’s Next Generation Waterfront Destination
Dubai Islands represents the next phase of Dubai’s coastal expansion—a large-scale, master-planned waterfront destination designed to redefine luxury living, tourism, and investment in the emirate.
Developed by Nakheel, the project transforms the former Deira Islands concept into a fully integrated lifestyle and hospitality ecosystem, featuring resorts, residences, retail districts, and marinas across five interconnected islands.
For Huntington Real Estate, Dubai Islands is not just an emerging location—it is a long-term capital appreciation play backed by government-led infrastructure and vision.

Living in Dubai Island
Dubai Island is a premier waterfront destination offering a unique blend of luxury, leisure, and lifestyle opportunities. Designed for high-end residents and visitors, it features upscale residential units, entertainment venues, and scenic promenades. Unlike Dubai’s commercial hubs, Dubai Island prioritizes relaxation, recreation, and curated experiences, making it ideal for those seeking an exclusive, lifestyle-focused environment by the water.
Lifestyle
Dubai Islands is being designed as a resort-style, waterfront lifestyle destination.
Residents will experience:
- Private beach access and coastal promenades
- Resort-integrated living with hospitality services
- Open, low-density planning with expansive views
This is a shift from traditional urban Dubai toward leisure-driven, destination living.
Convenience
Despite its resort positioning, Dubai Islands maintains strong connectivity:
- 15–20 minutes to Dubai International Airport
- Direct road links to Deira and mainland Dubai
- Close proximity to traditional trade hubs
(Gold District, Naif)
This creates a rare combination of island privacy with city accessibility.
Property Types
Dubai Islands introduces a diversified, future-focused real estate mix:
- Waterfront apartments
- Branded residences
- Beachfront villas and townhouses
- Hospitality-led serviced units
- Retail and mixed-use commercial spaces
Unlike Downtown, this is a horizontal + resort-driven market, not purely high-rise.

Why Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands presents a unique and compelling value proposition distinct from more established areas in the city. Its limited waterfront supply creates a scarcity that significantly enhances property desirability. Backed by a strong government vision focused on strategic tourism and lifestyle development, the project promises long-term growth and prominence. Early-phase buyers benefit from attractive pricing with substantial upside potential as the development progresses. The area appeals to a diverse range of buyers, including end-users seeking exclusive living, tourists looking for premium stays, and global investors aiming for solid returns.
• Waterfront Scarcity: Limited coastline supply in Dubai
• Government-Backed Vision: Strategic tourism and lifestyle expansion
• Early Entry Advantage: Pricing upside in initial phases
• Diversified Demand: End-users, tourists, and global investors
