Bay Estate garden villas: the largest standard villa on Dubai Islands
The garden villa is Bay Estate's largest standard typology, 4 bedrooms over 5,200 sq ft with an average 6,500 sq ft plot, at an average AED 10 million. Sizes, payment plan and what "garden" means here.
The largest standard villa in the community
The garden villa is the top of Bay Estate's built typology range, ahead of the two townhouse layouts and both semi-detached villa layouts. It is a standalone 4-bedroom home on the community's biggest average plot, 6,500 sq ft, with a published built area of 5,200 sq ft, the equivalent of 483 square metres. The name comes from that plot size: a garden villa sits on noticeably more land than any other typology Nakheel sells at Bay Estate, giving it the largest private outdoor space among the six built products.
The figures below are from Nakheel's price grid, shared with Orven on 27 September 2026.
Size and average price
| Typology | Average price (AED) | Average plot (sq ft) | Built area, brochure (sq ft) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Garden villa, 4 bed | 10 M | 6,500 | 5,200 (483 sqm) |
At an average AED 10 million, the garden villa is Bay Estate's most expensive built typology, and the only one to reach eight figures. Its average plot is roughly 60% larger than the semi-detached villa's, and its built area is close to, though slightly below, the semi-detached "Plus" layout's. Nakheel prices each garden villa plot individually within this average, so treat the figure as a reference for comparing typologies, not as the price of a specific plot.
What "garden villa" means at Bay Estate
Beyond the plot size, Nakheel's published plans describe a 4-bedroom layout across the home's built area, without a published breakdown of additional rooms beyond bedroom count. What the extra plot area buys is primarily outdoor space rather than indoor floor area: a garden villa's built footprint sits close to the semi-detached "Plus" villa's, while its plot is nearly 60% larger. A private pool shown on some renders is not included in the standard construction of a garden villa; it is added separately, at the buyer's cost, according to the brochure.
Nakheel has not published the number of garden villa units available, an official launch date, or service charges; treat any figures on these points from other sources as unconfirmed.
The payment plan
Garden villas follow the same 20/40/40 schedule as every other villa and townhouse at Bay Estate: 20% at booking in October 2026, five instalments totalling 40% through construction, and 40% at an estimated handover in January 2031.
| Stage | Share | Due date |
|---|---|---|
| Booking | 20% | October 2026 |
| Instalment | 5% | March 2027 |
| Instalment | 5% | August 2027 |
| Instalment | 10% | January 2028 |
| Instalment | 10% | June 2028 |
| Instalment | 5% | November 2028 |
| Instalment | 5% | April 2029 |
| Handover | 40% | Estimated January 2031 |
Applied to the average AED 10 million price, booking works out to AED 2,000,000, the two smaller instalments to AED 500,000 each, the two larger instalments to AED 1,000,000 each, and handover to AED 4,000,000. This is an illustration on the published average, not a quote; our Bay Estate payment plan guide works through the schedule with a townhouse example and explains how the same structure applies across every villa typology. On top of the purchase price, Dubai Land Department registration adds 4%, through the Oqood system, at a fixed fee confirmed in your contract.

Who a garden villa suits
- A buyer prioritising outdoor space over indoor floor area, since the garden villa's plot is the largest of the six built typologies while its built area sits close to the semi-detached "Plus" villa.
- A family that has already compared the semi-detached "Plus" layout and wants a standalone plot rather than a shared party wall, at an average AED 1.1 million more.
- A buyer who has reviewed every Bay Estate typology in our Bay Estate project guide and confirmed the garden villa is the largest standard option before comparing it against a land plot for a fully custom build.
Garden villas are released across Bay Estate's three districts, Cala, Verda and Agora, alongside the other typologies; ask your Orven advisor which garden villa plots are currently available and in which district.
