about Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is an archipelago of five islands along Dubai's Deira coast, presenting a diverse range of residences alongside championship golf and distinguished waterside living.

The five islands (Central, Marina, Shore, Golf and Elite) form a continuous waterfront neighbourhood along Deira's historic coast. Over sixty kilometres of foreshore and more than twenty kilometres of beach characterise the development, with one beach holding Blue Flag certification for its environmental standards and water quality. Landscaped areas and pedestrian paths, spanning nearly two kilometres, connect residential communities to the waterfront.

The islands accommodate a broad range of home types: penthouses and villas sit alongside townhouses, duplexes and apartments, each developed by a roster of established developers. Multiple branded residential communities distinguish the development, from the Meriva Collection to projects by Beyond Developments, Ellington and others. The neighbourhoods are connected through shared waterfront spaces whilst maintaining individual identities.

Adjacent to Dubai Maritime City and historic Deira, the islands unite contemporary development with established urban character. The Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, the Museum of the Future and Dubai Frame lie within fifteen to twenty minutes' drive. Dubai International Airport is similarly accessible, with the Waterfront Market just minutes away.
