Jumeirah Islands mansions for sale

Last updated 14 November 2026

Jumeirah Islands is a gated community of man-made islands, each a cluster of villas around its own lake. It sits between Dubai Marina and the Emirates Hills side of the city.

The clusters are not interchangeable. A lake-island mansion and a smaller villa in the same community should not be priced off the same comparison.

Private Office homes in Jumeirah Islands

The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.

Island clusters

European, Islamic and the other themed clusters each have their own plot pattern. Buyers who want a mansion, rather than a five-bedroom villa, should be shown the larger islands only.

Buying in Jumeirah Islands from overseas

Jumeirah Islands 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.
