Within this momentum, Dubai Islands alone clocked AED 3.5 billion in sales in May 2025, positioning itself as one of the city’s fastest-rising hotspots for capital growth and lifestyle-driven investments.

Why Dubai Islands Is on Every Investor’s Radar

Once known as Palm Deira, Dubai Islands has been reimagined into a master-planned archipelago that blends coastal luxury with city convenience. Its strategic location, just minutes from Dubai Creek Harbour, Festival City Mall, Jumeirah Beach, and Dubai Marina makes it a rare opportunity for buyers who want waterfront living without sacrificing connectivity.

The Investment Edge

According to Blagoje Antic, CEO of DHG, “Dubai Islands offers investors both capital growth and attractive returns. With its prime waterfront location, new infrastructure investments, and integration into Dubai’s long-term urban vision, it’s set to become one of Dubai’s most desirable destinations.”

This vision is being brought to life with DHG’s AED 260 million residential project, featuring design-forward layouts, premium materials, and lifestyle amenities such as rooftop pools with sweeping water views. For investors, this signals not just luxury—but a product designed for sustained demand and rental yield.
