Private community on Dubai Islands
Bay Estate unfolds across a residential island organised into three collections — Verda, Cala and Agora — each oriented towards the water, the landscape or community living.
Family townhouses & villas
3 and 4-bedroom townhouses and 4-bedroom semi-detached villas, with private pool, garden and views over lagoons or promenades.
A landmark waterfront developer
Nakheel, the developer behind Palm Jumeirah, signs one of the most anticipated chapters of Dubai's new waterfront.
An entry ticket with real leverage
Staged payment plan through to handover, freehold ownership, 0% tax on rental income and eligibility for the 10-year Golden Visa.
Architecture
Horizontal volumes, opening onto the landscape
Bay Estate's villas embrace a contemporary architectural vocabulary: extended flat roofs, clean structure, wide glazing and timber sunscreens. Each residence is conceived as an inhabited pavilion, extended by its pool, terrace and garden. Inside, the double-height living room and the indoor–outdoor continuity set the rhythm of the day.
Why invest at Bay Estate
An island by Nakheel
The developer of Palm Jumeirah returns to the waterfront with Dubai Islands. A signature that carries weight in resale value.
Unbeatable tax framework
0% tax on rental income, 0% on capital gains, 100% freehold for non-residents.
Structural scarcity
Waterfront villas and townhouses account for just 2% of Dubai's existing stock and 3% of the pipeline over the next five years.
10-year Golden Visa
The purchase entitles you to the 10-year renewable resident visa, for you and your family.
Staged payment plan
Financial commitment spread through to handover in 2031, without mobilising the full capital upfront.
Strategic location
18 min from DXB airport, 28 min from Downtown: rare island land at this distance from the city centre.
The precedent of Dubai's islands
Jumeirah Bay, La Mer and Palm Jumeirah have grown by more than 30% per year over five years, compared with 13% for the Dubai market as a whole.
