  • Hotel attached

A seahorse-shaped island of its own, connected to Jumeirah by a single bridge, with an Antonio Citterio-designed resort and a private marina and yacht club. The Roman jeweller’s residential canon is small and every entry in it is on water. This is the one with the longest Dubai record.

Who buys here

The buyer for whom the address is the asset. Jumeirah Bay is a gated island with one road in — the privacy is structural, not marketed, and that is what the money is buying.

What sets it apart

  • Its own island, reached by a single causeway
  • Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel architecture and interiors
  • Private marina and the Bvlgari Yacht Club
  • Holds the Dubai per-square-foot record twice over

Sonal Kukreja’s read

The most expensive branded address in Dubai and the one with the longest record of holding its premium. Bought as a trophy asset with a low yield, it has worked. Bought as an income position it never made sense and still does not.

An opinion, not advice, and not a recommendation to buy. BRN 89032, PSI Real Estate L.L.C..
