Bay Villas on Dubai Islands

Bay Villas Dubai Islands at a glance

Island B, linked to Deira by the Infinity Bridge

Nakheel launched Bay Villas on 21 February 2024 as a landscaped, gated community on Dubai Islands B, connected to the city by the Infinity Bridge and within 20 minutes of Downtown Dubai, according to Nakheel. The Dubai Land Department registers the homes in Palm Deira, its name for the Dubai Islands area.

Dubai Islands as a whole covers five islands and 18.6 sq km, with more than 20 km of beaches, and is planned under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan (Dubai Media Office, 18 August 2025).

Townhouse, semi-detached, garden, waterfront or beachfront villa

The community plan includes three pool houses, a beach club, a central park, sports facilities, children's playgrounds, green corridors leading to the water, retail and a mosque.

From a AED 2.6 billion contract to 22.8% built

When Fibrex was appointed, its group managing director said the company would deliver on time; Nakheel has given no handover date in the releases NAHY read. With about three quarters of the work still to do at the August 2026 inspection and the declared date about eight months later, NAHY does not plan a purchase around May 2027 alone. It checks the date in the seller's contract and the next DLD inspection.

776 transactions on 636 homes: how an owner's villa changes hands

The register counts every sale, including resales of off-plan contracts, so more transactions than units means many Bay Villas contracts have already passed from one owner to another. Between October 2025 and September 2026 the DLD recorded 107 of them. Nakheel publishes no availability for Bay Villas that NAHY could find.

1. Match the contract to the plot. NAHY reads the seller's Oqood for the home type, plot and project number.
2. Count the money. NAHY checks the instalments paid into the Dubai Islamic Bank escrow account and the balance still due to Nakheel, which the buyer takes over.
3. Get Nakheel's no objection certificate, then register the transfer with the DLD.

Bay Estate, Nakheel's next gated release on the islands

For a buyer who wants a Nakheel villa straight from the developer, the newer release is Bay Estate. Nakheel unveiled it on 5 October 2026: about 360 three and four bedroom garden villas, attached villas and townhouses, plus beachfront and waterfront plots, in three collections called Cala, Verda and Agora, with swimmable lagoons and a beach club (TradeArabia, reporting Nakheel's announcement). The DLD registered Bay Estate on 25 September 2026 with 357 units. NAHY asks Nakheel what it can offer there; more on the islands is on NAHY's Dubai Islands page.

Buying a villa where rents have no record yet

Palm Deira is almost all off-plan: from October 2025 to September 2026 the DLD registered 5,051 property sales there, 97.6% off-plan, and Ejari recorded only 6 rent contracts in the Palm Deira community in the last 12 complete months of data. An investor in Bay Villas buys a family villa on an island still being built, with no rent history to price it against. Investors can message +971 55 650 7737 for owner resales ranked by the amount still owed to Nakheel.
