Information verified on 8 October 2026. Current availability and unit-specific terms are confirmed by your adviser. Project locations on our site are approximate; ask your adviser for the exact plot before you reserve.
A hospitality-grade service wrapped around the tower
The official page describes an infinity pool with a sun deck, indoor and outdoor fitness areas, and a rooftop terrace looking over the Dubai skyline, with a landscaped podium deck running through the base of the tower. The address sits close to the golf course, Dubai Hills Park and Dubai Hills Mall. What sets this project apart within Emaar's Dubai Hills Estate portfolio is the Palace Hotels brand itself, which applies hospitality-grade service standards to the residential building rather than to a hotel alone.
A detailed 80/20 payment plan
The official page publishes an 80/20 structure with 10% due on booking. On the published starting price of AED 1,719,888, that works out to roughly AED 171,989 on booking, AED 1,203,922 spread across construction to reach the 80% mark, and AED 343,978 on handover. The Dubai Land Department's 4% registration fee adds a further AED 68,795.52 on this same starting price, on top of the unit price itself.
Below the Golden Visa threshold at entry price
At its AED 1,719,888 starting price, Palace Residences Hillside sits below the AED 2 million threshold generally associated with a Golden Visa application through property investment, under conditions confirmed by the authorities. A buyer targeting the visa through this project would need to look at a larger typology within the same building.
Who buys at Palace Residences Hillside
The branded hospitality angle points this project toward buyers who want hotel-style service in a permanent residence, whether as a primary home, a pied-à-terre used a few times a year, or a rental unit marketed on the strength of the Palace Hotels name. Our guide on branded residences in Dubai explained covers what this type of label typically means in practice. No rental yield figure appears on the official page; ask your adviser for a current estimate rather than a generic market figure.

The buying process step by step
