Palm Jumeirah is a globally recognized icon of Dubai’s ambition and innovation, a man-made island shaped like a palm tree stretching 5 kilometers into the Arabian Gulf. Developed by Nakheel and launched in 2001, it was the first of three planned palm islands and has since become a symbol of Dubai’s luxury real estate and tourism. The island consists of a trunk, 16 fronds, and a surrounding crescent breakwater that protects it from waves. It is home to over 4,000 luxury apartments, villas, hotels, and resorts, attracting celebrities, investors, and high-net-worth individuals from around the world. Flagship attractions include Atlantis The Palm, an iconic hotel resort with the record-breaking Aquaventure Waterpark, home to thrilling slides, a lazy river, and marine life experiences like shark safaris and dolphin interactions. The newly opened Royal Atlantis Resort & Residences offers ultra-luxury living with celebrity-chef restaurants and sky-high infinity pools.
The island also features The View at The Palm, an observation deck located 240 meters above ground on the 52nd floor of the Palm Tower, offering 360-degree views of the palm, city skyline, and Arabian Gulf. Residents and visitors alike enjoy Nakheel Mall, a premium shopping and lifestyle destination, and The Pointe, a dining and entertainment hub with over 80 restaurants and the world’s largest dancing fountain. Palm West Beach offers a 1.6 km promenade with licensed beachfront dining, jogging tracks, and pet-friendly access. The AURA Skypool Lounge, perched on the 50th floor of The Palm Tower, is the world’s highest 360-degree infinity pool with breathtaking panoramic views.
Palm Jumeirah is connected to the mainland via a 6-lane bridge and features its own monorail system, linking the Gateway Station at the base to the Atlantis Station at the tip, with several stops including Al Ittihad Park and Nakheel Mall. The development is also home to international schools, world-class spas, private beach clubs, and marinas, making it a complete lifestyle destination. Its real estate offerings range from penthouses and beach-facing apartments to signature villas and hotel residences, with prices reflecting its premium waterfront status.
