Jumeirah Bay Island

Dubai’s Most Discreet Waterfront Address

Jumeirah Bay Island, or “Bulgari Island,” as it’s often called is the very definition of quiet luxury. Connected to the mainland by a 300-metre bridge, this man-made island offers unparalleled exclusivity, limited inventory, and ultra-prime living just minutes from the heart of the city.

Home to the Bulgari Resort and Residences, this crescent-shaped island caters to those who value privacy, architectural elegance, and an intimate relationship with the sea. It is where Dubai’s most discerning buyers come to escape the noise, without ever leaving the city behind.

Life in the Community

Jumeirah Bay Island offers something few places in Dubai can: stillness. The island is designed for those who move quietly, family offices, global entrepreneurs, legacy wealth. There are no high-rise towers or commercial distractions. Instead, you’ll find wide boulevards, uninterrupted sea views, and a tight-knit community of residents who share an appreciation for calm, curated living.

The island is fully gated, with 24/7 security, underground services, and zero through-traffic. At its centre sits the Bulgari Resort, complete with marina, yacht club, spa, gym, and fine dining, all accessible to residents.

“When clients ask where the true ultra-prime inventory sits, this is always top of our list. It’s private, serene, and incredibly limited. Homes on Jumeirah Bay Island don’t come up often and when they do, they tend to move fast and quietly.”

Architecture & Design

Every property on Jumeirah Bay Island is a statement in design and scale. The villa plots, among the most valuable in Dubai, are positioned to maximise sea views, skyline perspectives, or both. Homes here often exceed 15,000 sq. ft., with architecture ranging from bold minimalism to warm Mediterranean and contemporary Arabesque styles.

Residents also have access to the Bulgari Residences, a collection of low-rise apartments, penthouses, and marina homes with hotel-level services and unmatched build quality.

The island is deliberately low-density, with fewer than 130 villa plots and a small number of branded residences ensuring peace, exclusivity, and long-term value.

“We’ve been involved in villa plot sales here that have exceeded AED 180 million, and those figures are driven by land alone. The island’s value is in its rarity. You’re not just buying square footage; you’re buying a seat in one of the most elite communities in the UAE.”

Lifestyle & Amenities

Jumeirah Bay Island offers a lifestyle that’s both rare and refined. With its limited number of ultra-luxury homes, private marina, and direct connection to the Bulgari Resort, this gated enclave is designed for those who value privacy, exclusivity, and effortless living. From serene wellness experiences to curated fine dining and close proximity to Dubai’s best schools and districts, every element of life on the island is elevated by design.

While Jumeirah Bay Island itself is strictly residential, it sits just off Jumeirah 2 and is only a short drive to several top-tier schools and nurseries:

  • Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) – Outstanding British curriculum
  • GEMS Wellington Primary School – A trusted option for young families
  • Dubai International Academy – Emirates Hills – Highly regarded IB school
  • Little Land Nursery – Long-established and minutes from the island


The island’s central location means parents can be back from drop-off in under 15 minutes, a luxury in itself.

Jumeirah Bay Island’s wellness offering is intimate but refined. Residents can access:

  • The Bulgari Yacht Club – Private member access, pool, lounge and marina services
  • The Bulgari Spa – World-class treatments, personal training, and wellness events
  • Jogging and cycling loops around the island with sea views on every side
  • Private home gyms, infinity pools, and rooftop terraces designed into most villas


This is wellness defined by peace, not performance.

Dining on Jumeirah Bay Island is a quiet affair: elegant, curated, and deeply exclusive. Within the Bulgari Resort you’ll find:

  • Il Ristorante – Niko Romito – Michelin-starred modern Italian with refined service
  • Il Café – For relaxed lunches and elegant breakfasts
  • Yacht Club Restaurant – Overlooking the marina, ideal for evening dining
  • In-residence private chef services – Available to Bulgari homeowners and select villas


For those who wish to venture off-island, the dining scenes of City Walk, DIFC and Jumeirah are all under 10 minutes away.

Investment Outlook

Jumeirah Bay Island is one of the most exclusive residential communities in the UAE, and one of the most expensive per square metre. Plot prices alone have risen from AED 40 million to well over AED 100 million in the last few years, with full villas commanding upwards of AED 150–200 million, depending on location, build, and view.

The combination of scarcity, discretion, and global luxury branding ensures long-term demand and premium pricing. Many transactions are conducted entirely off-market, with buyers pre-qualified and approached discreetly, a model Eden Realty is known for.
