Some of Dubai’s most expensive beach houses and private islands

When “ocean views” isn’t enough, so you buy the whole beach…

Dubai doesn’t do anything halfway, and its beachfront real estate is no exception. Forget crowded shores and skyline views from a distance – some people are waking up with the beach as their backyard, private infinity pools blending into the sea, and a yacht parked out front like it’s no big deal. From Palm Jumeirah’s mega-mansions to entire private islands on The World Islands, this is where luxury gets its own postcode. And let’s be honest – if anywhere was going to take oceanfront living to extremes, it was always going to be Dubai. Here are some of Dubai’s most expensive beach houses and private islands.

The World Islands

Dubai’s World Islands, a mind-blowing collection of man-made islands shaped to represent the continents, stand as a symbol of innovation and exclusivity. Within this one-of-a-kind cluster, a handful of islands have transformed into sought-after retreats, each offering its own distinct vibe and allure.

For those interested in exploring property options within the World Islands, some listings may be available on different real estate platforms – offering a range of properties from studios to luxury villas. The average price per square foot in the World Islands is approximately Dhs3,631, with an average property price around Dhs5.2 million.

Lebanon Island

As the first island to open to the public, Lebanon Island features two pristine beaches, a swimming pool, a beach volleyball court, and the renowned Toro Blanco restaurant. Day visits are available, providing access to these amenities and stunning views. While specific details on property availability for sale or rent are limited, the island’s offerings make it a compelling choice for those seeking a next-level lifestyle in Dubai.

Sweden Beach Palace, Sweden Island

Rumor has it that Sweden Beach Palace, located on Sweden Island within The World Islands, was on the market for AED 125 million. With limited details available, this ultra-exclusive property remains as elusive as it is extravagant, adding to the mystique of Dubai’s most ambitious offshore development.

Amali Island

These 5-7 bedroom villas are designed by leading architects and feature stunning 360-degree views of the sea, Dubai’s skyline, and Palm Jumeirah.
