Overview
Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel's second palm island, roughly twice the size of Palm Jumeirah — seven islands and 16 fronds stretching across 120km of coastline and more than 90km of beachfront, with phased villa handovers beginning late 2026 through 2027.
Strengths
Unlike its built-out sister island, Palm Jebel Ali is still largely a blank canvas, which means buyers can secure some of the last new beachfront villas in Dubai directly from the master developer, with five-, six- and seven-bedroom homes on Fronds A–F and K–P, each with direct beach access.
Services
Nakheel's master plan includes a 9,000 sqm retail centre and a Friday mosque designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill with room for 1,000 worshippers; more schools, clinics and marina facilities are expected as later phases come online, mirroring how Palm Jumeirah's own retail and hospitality built up over time.
Distances
Positioned off the coast near Dubai South and the new Al Maktoum International Airport site, Palm Jebel Ali sits roughly 25–30 minutes from Dubai Marina along Sheikh Zayed Road, with Downtown Dubai around 40 minutes away — an early-stage location that will shorten considerably as the Al Maktoum Airport expansion and surrounding road upgrades complete.
Why invest here
With over AED 13 billion already committed to construction and infrastructure and villas changing hands well before handover, Palm Jebel Ali offers the kind of ground-floor pricing Palm Jumeirah buyers had two decades ago — a scarce, branded beachfront asset with a long runway for capital growth as the island fills in.
