The Palm Jebel Ali relaunch plans to welcome its first residents starting in 2026

Palm Jebel Ali’s relaunch is set to be one of Dubai’s most exciting upcoming megaprojects. Recently, there’s been a significant update on the project’s timeline. On August 24, developer Nakheel announced that it had awarded a Dhs810 million contract for the marine works on the manmade island, marking a key milestone in its redevelopment.

In addition to this, Nakheel revealed that the first villas on Palm Jebel Ali, which went on sale in September 2023, are scheduled for handover in late 2026. These villas, located across four fronds, are available as either Coral or Beach villas, each with eight different styles. Inspired by nature, the beachfront villas boast floor-to-ceiling windows, private beach access, and luxurious neutral finishes. Prices start at just under Dhs18 million.

For those seeking something more modest, several apartment blocks will also be constructed on the 13.4 square-kilometer island. Sales for these apartments are expected to follow the villas.

About Palm Jebel Ali
The development of Palm Jebel Ali, which was initially halted in 2009 due to the global financial crisis, was revived earlier this year when H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE and ruler of Dubai, confirmed its restart. In May 2023, he unveiled a masterplan for the manmade island, which will feature hotels, beaches, residences, and leisure attractions. The island will eventually span 13.4 kilometers, with 16 fronds and 91 kilometers of beachfront, and will bring 80 new hotels to Dubai.
