Private island homes for sale in Dubai
Last updated
Dubai's private-island homes are not a single development. Jumeirah Bay Island, Pearl Jumeirah, Lanai Island at Tilal Al Ghaf and Marsa Al Arab are the ones buyers mean. Palm Jebel Ali and Dubai Islands are the newer, larger versions.
A whole island to yourself is rare. What is usually for sale is a villa or a plot on a private island, with a gated causeway and a short list of neighbours.
Private Office homes
The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.
Which island
Jumeirah Bay if you want Billionaires' Island and Bulgari. Pearl Jumeirah if you want a small villa island by the Palm. Lanai if you want a lagoon islet at Tilal Al Ghaf. Marsa Al Arab if you want Burj Al Arab next door. We will not show you all four as if they were the same house.
Questions
- Can you buy a private island in Dubai?
- Almost never as an empty island. What is sold is a villa or a plot on a private island, such as Jumeirah Bay, Pearl Jumeirah, Lanai Island or Marsa Al Arab.
- How do I see off-market luxury homes in Dubai?
- Speak to the Private Office directly. Many owners ask us not to advertise, so those homes are shown only to people we have spoken to. Tell us the address, size and budget you have in mind.
- 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.
