Exclusive life on the seashore - why choose Dubai Islands for your home or for a long-term rental investment?

21.11.2025, from the Stonehard Team

Dubai is an investment, corporate, tourist and cultural center of the United Arab Emirates. The growth of the city has been so great in recent decades that far-sighted investors quickly realized that the areas around the sea are the most preferred for new buyers and came to the conclusion that the city needs more sea areas. Thus the idea appeared, and later the implementation of several mega projects, including the world-famous Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali /still in the process of development/, World Islands, Jumeirah Bay and Dubai Islands. These islands, created by man, are extremely sought after, and due to the limited area for construction, the properties are of high value.

 

In the following lines, we will reveal to you the advantages of owning a property in one of these paradises and we will present you with some of our best projects in these places.

 

Exclusive life on the seashore

 

Island life has always been a metaphor for peace and solitude. Dubai’s islands offer just that, as well as stunning private beaches with fine, golden sands and turquoise waters. One of the advantages of island properties is the views - most homes offer incredible views of the Arabian Gulf and the sea, which you can enjoy every day. Island life will offer you morning walks on the beach, lunch at a seaside restaurant, afternoons at a shopping mall or workout, and evenings with the city lights in the background.

 

Security and peace of mind

 

Dubai is known for being one of the safest cities in the world, despite its huge population from all over the world. The location in the middle of the water gives the islands a characteristic isolation and a natural feeling of security. In addition, the construction is mainly of villas in closed complexes or residential buildings with limited access and security, which guarantees privacy and provides a safe environment for families with children. In addition, all the islands have the necessary amenities for everyday life, and the city is quickly and easily accessible.

 

Location and accessibility

Spread over an impressive 20 million square feet of prime waterfront, Dubai Islands is located just off the coast of Dubai and occupies a strategic position close to all the city’s important points. The distances to the city’s main points are more than convenient:

  • Dubai Downtown – 25.5 km (about 35 minutes by car);

  • Dubai Marina – approximately 42.2 km (about 40 minutes drive);

  • Dubai International Airport (DXB) - about 9.3 km (approximately 18 minutes);

  • Palm Jumeirah – about 40 km (about 40 minutes by car).

The islands are connected by bridges and causeways, providing quick and easy access to the mainland. Expected future infrastructure projects – including expanded public transport links and water taxis – will improve connectivity even further.

Premium lifestyle

By purchasing a property on Dubai Islands, you acquire ownership not only of real estate, but also of status. Life on the islands is a life for the few, who have chosen to immerse themselves in the luxury and exclusivity that Dubai has to offer. 5-star hotels, elite restaurants and clubs with limited access - all this will make you part of a community that values exquisite, beautiful and stylish. Life here gives you the opportunity to be part of elite communities, to participate in social and business events and to expand your personal and professional portfolio.

 

Investment opportunities

Dubai Islands are among the most sought-after locations for property purchase, making them one of the most profitable places to invest. Whether you buy a home for your own use or to rent out, the returns here are impressive. The potential for growth is also enhanced by the stability of the Dubai property market, which is traditionally characterized by a steady increase in real estate values.
