About this community

Dubai Islands (formerly Deira Islands) is Nakheel’s revived master-plan: five islands off the Deira coastline being developed into a mix of branded hotels, beachfront residences, and a new central beachfront district.

Sales launched in 2023 — early off-plan investors are riding capital appreciation as more developers join the master-plan and the central beach district opens to the public. Best plays today: ground-floor releases from Nakheel and the secondary off-plan resales already changing hands at 15–25% gross uplift.
