The exquisite man-made Palm Islands—Palm Jebel Ali and Palm Jumeirah—add to Dubai’s appeal as a top global lifestyle and investment destination.
UAE’s top real estate brand Nakheel, known for opulent projects that redefine luxury, is the developer of both island communities.
This blog looks at the unique features and attractions that make these superb islands one of the world’s most appealing lifestyle and investment destinations.
Palm Jumeirah
Palm Jumeirah spans an area of 5.72 sq km.
The development comprises a trunk, 17 fronds, and a protective crescent. This island features exclusive residences, recreational options, and a vibrant 11km waterfront boardwalk.
Palm Jebel Ali
Featuring the same design as Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali is twice the size of Palm Jumeirah with an area of 13.4 sq km.
Palm Jebel Ali started construction in the early 2000s. It promises a more extensive array of amenities and unique luxury homes built on stilts. The island holds potential as a tranquil residential enclave.
Wide residential choices
Palm Jumeirah offers premium residences including premium villas, apartments, and townhouses. In contrast, Palm Jebel Ali presents ultra-luxury villas, mansions, expansive townhouses, and elegant apartments.
Palm Jebel Ali has launched two magnificent villa enclaves: Beach & Coral collections. The community will have six marinas, a water theme park, a sea village, and boardwalks that circle the fronds.
It is expected to house over 35,000 families.
Capital appreciation
Significantly, Palm Jumeirah has seen an impressive 800% capital appreciation since its launch. In contrast, Palm Jebel Ali, with its ultra-luxury focus and the ongoing mega Jebel Ali Beach Development project, promises unmatched real estate value and appreciation potential.
Excellent connectivity
Both islands promise excellent connectivity. Palm Jumeirah boasts a monorail system linking it to Dubai’s mainland. A Light Rail connects the neighborhood to Al Sufouh Street, Dubai Marina, and Jumeirah Beach Residence. Also, free shuttle bus services are available.
Palm Jebel Ali will have enhanced accessibility with a host of infrastructure developments planned in neighboring areas such as the Dubai Waterfront, and Expo 2020. Further, the planned 6km public access road will directly connect the island to Sheikh Zayed Road.
Attractions at Palm Islands
Palm Jumeirah is home to various luxury hotels, resorts, and malls. It also has a variety of restaurants, cafes, and retail outlets.
On the other hand, Palm Jebel Ali will have superior amenities such as a yacht club, lifestyle mall, leisure park, beach promenade, 360-degree view tower, and beach clubs.
