At a glance

Palm Jebel Ali is a waterfront archipelago master-planned by Nakheel on Dubai's southern coast, spanning about 13.4 km and, according to Nakheel, twice the size of Palm Jumeirah with over 100 km of added coastline and more than 90 km of beachfront. The community combines two Nakheel villa collections, Coral Villas (7-bedroom) and Beach Villas (5- and 6-bedroom), with Palm Central Private Residences apartments across three buildings, alongside planned hotels, lifestyle malls, a waterfront promenade, beach clubs and a yacht club. Nakheel reports the masterplan is designed with solar panels, wind energy systems, district cooling and smart irrigation. As of Nakheel's internal inspection on 10 March 2026, overall construction stood at 26.75%, with fronds K through P under active building work.
Nakheel places Palm Jebel Ali about 16 minutes from Life Pharmacy Metro Station, 24 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport, 25 minutes from Dubai Marina and 27 minutes from Palm Jumeirah. A dedicated public access road of about 6 km is planned to connect the island directly to Sheikh Zayed Road; the nearest Dubai Metro station is Danube, also on Sheikh Zayed Road. Until the island's own road and any future transit links are complete, access is by car via the mainland connection under construction.

Palm Jebel Ali is a freehold community, open to foreign buyers under the same national framework as Dubai's other freehold areas (Law No. 7 of 2006 and Regulation No. 3 of 2006): a buyer of any nationality can hold full title to the unit and register it with the Dubai Land Department. The island is still under construction; Nakheel's own progress tracker (10 March 2026) shows partial completion, so buyers should confirm each unit's handover date and payment plan directly with Nakheel. Dubai Land Department registration fees and other transaction costs are the same citywide, see our buyer costs guide for the current breakdown. Service charge has not been published for this community yet and is not estimated here.
