Jumeirah Bay Island villas for sale
Last updated
Jumeirah Bay Island is the small island off Jumeirah that the market calls Billionaires' Island. It has a short row of beachfront plots and mansions, and the Bulgari Resort and Residences.
Very little of it is advertised. If you want a villa, a plot or a Bulgari residence here, start with the Private Office rather than a portal.
Private Office homes in Jumeirah Bay Island
The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.
None of these homes are on the public list at the moment. Ask the Private Office what is being held back.
Billionaires' Island
The nickname stuck because the island is small, gated, and priced at the top of Dubai. A plot here is a chance to build your own house with a beach. A finished mansion is a rarer instruction, and it tends to move quietly.
Bulgari residences and Bulgari Ocean Mansions
Bulgari Lighthouse and the Ocean Mansions are the branded stock on the island. The Bulgari page covers those residences on their own. On this page they sit next to the private plots, because buyers often look at both.
Plots on Jumeirah Bay Island
A plot purchase is a build, not a house. We look at the frontage, what the neighbours have built, and what a finished mansion on that plot could sell for later. The land price on its own does not tell you that.
Buying on the island from overseas
Jumeirah Bay Island is a freehold part of Dubai, so a buyer of any nationality can own the home outright. A purchase of AED 2 million or more can support an application for a ten-year UAE Golden Visa. There is no annual property tax. Buyers pay the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and agency fees. Where a family office or a company is the buyer, we work with your lawyers from the first call.
Selling on Jumeirah Bay Island
If you are thinking of selling in Jumeirah Bay Island, we can show the home privately to buyers we already know before it goes anywhere public. That conversation starts with a confidential valuation, not a listing form.
Questions
- Can foreigners buy property in Jumeirah Bay Island?
- Yes. Jumeirah Bay Island is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home outright, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department.
- Why is Jumeirah Bay Island called Billionaires' Island?
- It is a small, private island off Jumeirah with a handful of beachfront mansions and plots, plus the Bulgari residences. The market uses the name because ownership is concentrated at the top of the Dubai price range.
- Are there Bulgari residences for sale on Jumeirah Bay Island?
- Yes. Bulgari residences, including the Ocean Mansions and the Lighthouse, sit on the island. Many are offered off-market. Ask the Private Office what is actually available.
- How do I sell a luxury villa in Dubai discreetly?
- Ask the Private Office for a confidential valuation. We can present your home to qualified buyers before, or instead of, listing it publicly, so the price and address are not published.
