Dubai Islands off plan currently covers eleven projects in the Orven selection, spanning apartments, villas and townhouses across several developers. Four publish a clear entry price, Nakheel's Bay Estate publishes average lot prices rather than a single starting figure, and the remaining six are on request.

The four with a published starting price

Project	Developer	Typologies	Starting price	Handover
Azizi Wasel	Azizi	Studio to 3 bed + penthouses	AED 1.06 million	June 2027

Bay Estate: priced by average, not a starting figure

Nakheel's Bay Estate is a villa and townhouse community across three sub-districts, Cala, Verda and Agora. Its price sheet publishes averages rather than entry prices: a 3 bedroom townhouse averages AED 5.9 million, a 4 bedroom townhouse AED 6.9 million, a 4 bedroom semi-detached villa AED 7.2 million, and a garden villa AED 10 million, each figure tied to its own plot size. Every lot carries its own price, so these averages describe the range rather than quote a single number to budget against. Estimated construction completion is January 2031.

Luxury Canal Residences and Coastal Haven, by Prestige One

Luxury Canal Residences and Coastal Haven both publish a payment plan without a public starting price. Luxury Canal Residences runs 20% at reservation, 45% during construction and 35% on handover; Coastal Haven runs a simpler 20% at reservation and 80% on handover. Both offer one to three bedroom residences and penthouses.

Five addresses still fully on request

Bay Grove Residences and Bay Villas, both by Nakheel on Island B, Sea Cliff by Imtiaz, and The Meriva Collection by Ellington do not currently publish a starting price or payment plan. Bay Villas, under construction, offers five villa typologies from attached and garden villas to waterfront and beachfront villas; Sea Cliff mixes one to three bedroom apartments with four bedroom duplexes that include private pools.

Why Dubai Islands has become this dense

Nakheel's masterplan across five islands, roughly 17 square kilometres with more than 20 kilometres of beaches, has drawn a wide range of developers, from Azizi and SAMANA to Omniyat's BEYOND brand and Ellington, each targeting a different price tier and typology. That breadth is why no single number answers "what does off-plan cost on Dubai Islands," the answer depends heavily on which of the eleven projects and which typology you are comparing.

Escrow, registration and financing across all eleven

Every off-plan payment on Dubai Islands, whichever project, is held in an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with construction progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service. Sales register through Oqood at fixed fees confirmed in the contract. Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval, with no bank or rate confirmed for any specific project.

Golden Visa across the range

A property investment of at least AED 2 million can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. HADO by Beyond, Ocean Bay and Ocean Crest all clear that threshold at their published starting prices; Azizi Wasel's AED 1.06 million entry price sits below it, so eligibility there depends on the specific unit chosen. Bay Estate's average prices mostly clear the threshold, though each lot's actual price is what matters for a formal application.

Narrowing eleven projects to a shortlist

Start with your typology, apartment, townhouse or villa, then your budget range, before comparing payment structures across the projects that fit both. Your adviser can confirm current availability for any of the eleven once you narrow it that far.

For the wider island, our best projects on Dubai Islands 2026 and our Dubai Islands vs Palm Jumeirah vs Dubai Harbour comparison place these eleven projects alongside the surrounding waterfront districts.
