The address
An island, ten minutes from old Dubai.
Dubai Islands is a five-island archipelago off the Deira coast — around seventeen square kilometres of master-planned land with more than fifty kilometres of waterfront and over twenty kilometres of beaches. Bay Estates sits on Island E, on the shoreline.
What makes it unusual is the distance. Beachfront living in Dubai normally means the far end of the Marina or the Palm. This is a private beach fifteen minutes from the airport and twenty from Downtown.

The residences
Three to seven bedrooms, all of them beachfront.
Phase 1 releases a limited collection. Townhouses open the community, semi-detached villas sit above them, and the garden and beachfront villas run up to seven bedrooms. Plot sizes and orientation move the price as much as the bedroom count does.
4 bedroom
Semi-detached villa
One shared wall instead of two, a wider plot and a fourth bedroom — the step up most families actually make, without moving to a full detached price.
From AED 6.8M
4 bedroom
Garden villa
Stand-alone, with the plot and the private pool that come with it. The larger 5, 6 and 7 bedroom beachfront homes sit above this and are released on request.
From AED 10M
Starting prices are the developer’s published figures as circulated in September 2026 and are indicative and subject to availability. Five, six and seven bedroom beachfront homes are released on request.
The community
A private beach and a clubhouse.
The beach is the community’s, not the city’s. Behind it sits a clubhouse of roughly 3,800 square metres, with the parks, courts and paths threaded between the homes rather than parked at one end of the plan.

- Marina access

- Landscaped linear parks
- Shoreline walking and cycling paths
- Sports court

Why now
First phase. First pick of the shoreline.
Phase 1
of Island E
Bay Estates is the first residential release on Island E. First phases price below what follows them once a community is established and the shoreline is built out — that is the whole argument for buying at this point rather than the next.
20 / 60 / 20
and three years to pay it
A fifth on booking, three-fifths across construction and the balance at handover in Q4 2029. You hold a beachfront freehold home on Dubai Islands without the capital sitting idle.
Freehold
and Golden Visa eligible
Bay Estates is freehold and open to all nationalities. Property purchases at AED 2 million and above meet the investment threshold for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. There is no annual property tax and no capital gains tax in the UAE.
Nakheel
built the islands Dubai is known for
Palm Jumeirah, The World, Deira Islands. Nakheel is the master developer behind Dubai Islands itself, so Bay Estates is being built by the same party that plans the beaches, the marina and the roads around it.
Questions

Where exactly is Bay Estates?
On Island E, one of the five islands that make up Dubai Islands, off the Deira coastline. It is roughly 15 minutes from Dubai International Airport and 20 from Downtown.
