Dubai Islands

A man-made archipelago off the shores of Deira, Dubai Islands is a work in progress that will eventually cover 17sqkm across five isles. The mixed-use development is already known for its emerging upmarket residences, hotels, lifestyle projects and marinas, and adds over 20km of beachfront to the city’s already covetable coastline – including an eco-friendly Blue Flag beach. Directly accessible from the mainland via road and sea, Dubai Islands (formerly known as Deira Islands) will be home to over 80 hotels, including luxury and wellness hubs, boutique offerings, family-friendly resorts and eco-conscious options. The development will also feature 2sqkm of parks and open spaces, plus premium golf courses overlooking the Arabian Gulf, while visitors will be able to get around via a well-connected network of marina promenades and pathways for water and road transportation, walking and cycling.
