Jumeirah Islands is one of Dubai’s most picturesque residential enclaves, a collection of man-made islands surrounded by calm waterways, mature landscaping, and wide open skies. Developed by Nakheel, this gated community offers a rare sense of serenity in the heart of Dubai, just minutes from the Marina and Sheikh Zayed Road.
Each island features just 16 villas, creating an intimate, low-density environment where privacy, space, and nature come together. It’s a community where you’ll find long-time residents, growing families, and end users who value quiet elegance over showy opulence.
Life on Jumeirah Islands feels like an escape, but one with immediate access to the city. The layout is intentionally relaxed: no high-rises, no traffic, just leafy streets and the sound of water lapping at the edge of your garden.
With private pools, spacious gardens, and lakefront views, the villas here offer a peaceful setting for families, professionals, and retirees alike. A central clubhouse provides fitness facilities, restaurants, and community events, while walking paths and cycle tracks loop around the lakes.
“We always describe Jumeirah Islands as a ‘hidden gem.’ It doesn’t get as much media attention as other luxury areas, but our clients who live here rarely leave. They fall in love with the quiet, the space, and the lifestyle... and they stay.”
The villas at Jumeirah Islands are distinct in their design, Mediterranean, Islamic, Contemporary, and Oasis-inspired styles offer variety and charm. All homes are freehold and sit on generous plots, with most offering 4 or 5 bedrooms, double-height ceilings, landscaped gardens, and private pools.
Many homeowners have undertaken full-scale renovations in recent years, modernising interiors, extending layouts, and upgrading facades to reflect today’s design expectations. As a result, the community now includes a mix of classic charm and ultra-modern refits.
“We’ve helped clients secure beautifully upgraded villas here for under AED 20 million, and in our view, that’s incredible value considering the land size, location, and privacy. There are very few communities left in Dubai that offer this level of tranquillity so close to the Marina and JLT.”
Surrounded by tranquil lakes and lush landscaping, the community feels like a private retreat, yet it’s just minutes from schools, shops, and the city’s key hotspots. With a strong sense of neighbourhood, quality wellness facilities, and easy access to everything from golf to gourmet dining, it’s a lifestyle that balances peace, practicality, and connection.
Jumeirah Islands is well located for families, with some of Dubai’s most reputable schools just a short drive away:
Nurseries such as Jebel Ali Village Nursery and Dovecote Nursery are also within 10–15 minutes.
This school access is a key reason many long-term residents have chosen to raise families here, the school run is simple, safe, and short.
The Jumeirah Islands Clubhouse is the heart of community life. It features:
In addition to private pools at each villa, residents enjoy landscaped trails for jogging, scenic walks by the lake, and water views from almost every corner of the neighbourhood.
For sports and leisure, Emirates Golf Club and Jumeirah Lake Towers’ paddle courts are just 10 minutes away, offering weekend activity without the need for long drives.
The community includes a small selection of cafés and services within the clubhouse, but it’s the proximity to surrounding neighbourhoods that makes day-to-day life so easy:
This allows residents to enjoy the quiet of the islands, while staying connected to everything they need.
Jumeirah Islands has consistently shown strong value retention, and recent years have seen record sales driven by demand for upgraded, ready-to-move-in villas with lake views. Prices vary widely based on renovation quality, with standard units starting around AED 9M and fully upgraded homes reaching AED 18–25M.
With limited supply and no major construction nearby, the community offers stability, strong rental demand, and a safe long-term investment profile. Eden Realty frequently facilitates off-market transactions for renovated homes, many of which are sold before they ever hit the open listings.
Jumeirah Islands is a lifestyle choice. It’s not the flashiest address in Dubai, but it’s one of the most liveable, loved, and quietly luxurious.
