Palm Jebel Ali

Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel's second palm-shaped island, rising from the Arabian Gulf off the Jebel Ali coastline at the south-western end of Dubai. Nakheel describes it as occupying an area twice the size of Palm Jumeirah, and its masterplan was approved by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum on 31 May 2023 as part of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan.

Nakheel's announcement says the island will add approximately 110 kilometres of coastline to Dubai, provide approximately 35,000 families with beachside homes, and carry more than 80 hotels and resorts. As much as 30% of its energy is planned to come from renewable sources.

The masterplan is organised into districts Nakheel calls the Fronds, the Trunk, the Spine, the Crown and the Crescents. On the fronds, Nakheel sells Beach Villas (up to six en-suite bedrooms) and Coral Villas (seven en-suite bedrooms); Palm Central is a collection of private residences, and the Trunk is planned for mixed-use high-rise apartments and penthouses.

Who it suits: buyers who want a waterfront villa or a home on a master-planned island from a government-backed master developer, and who are comfortable with an off-plan timeline. Because it is a single-developer island at an early stage, prices, payment plans and handover dates are set release by release — this page shows only what Nakheel has published for each project we track, and nothing we have not been able to confirm.
