Jumeirah Islands Villas: Limited Supply Fuels Premium Demand in Dubai’s Luxury Market

The Jumeirah Islands villa market continues to show exceptional strength, driven by a widening gap between supply and demand, particularly in the non-renovated segment. Buyers are actively seeking original-condition villas with the intention to renovate, yet availability remains limited. This shortage is creating increased competition for any well located, unrenovated properties that come to market.

At the same time, the fully renovated, high-end villa segment is becoming increasingly premium. A notable example in November was the sale of a beautifully refurbished Garden Hall villa for AED 28 million. Sold fully furnished and sitting off the main lake, it reflects the rising appetite for turnkey luxury homes especially those offered vacant on transfer. For buyers looking to access these rare, top-tier listings, having the right agent with early access and insider contacts is more essential than ever.

Market-wide, Dubai recorded AED 45.9 billion in total sales transaction value in November, representing a 35% year-on-year increase and reinforcing strong confidence across the property landscape. However, an imbalance persists in supply with 90% of November’s off-plan launches attributed to apartments, with zero villa launches. This lack of new villa stock is directly fuelling demand in established communities like Jumeirah Islands, where homeowners are holding on to properties, limiting resale opportunities.

Allsopp & Allsopp’s November sales reflect this premium demand, with two major transactions in Jumeirah Islands, a five bedroom villa sold for AED 52 million and an Entertainment Foyer sold for AED 37 million. Both demonstrate the community’s continued appeal to ultra-high-net-worth buyers.

Property sales over AED 10 million across Dubai have increased by 8% year-on-year, maintaining a steady upward trajectory. This aligns with the influx of high-net-worth individuals relocating from the UK and Europe, many of whom are seeking private, waterfront communities like Jumeirah Islands.

With limited supply, rising demand, and a growing luxury buyer pool, Jumeirah Islands remains one of Dubai’s most desirable and competitive villa markets. Buyers seeking homes here must stay close to leading agents such as ourselves to gain first access to upcoming listings, especially as renovated and non-renovated villas continue to attract exceptional premiums.
