What are the Apartment Prices in Jumeirah Dubai in 2026?

Apartment prices in Jumeirah Dubai during 2026 range from around 1.7 million AED for one-bedroom apartments in ready projects, to over 14 million AED for units in new luxury waterfront developments. The price per square foot in the broader ready segment of the market hovers around 2,500–3,300 AED, while it exceeds 6,000 AED in new waterfront projects.

This wide variation is due to the project location, proximity to the sea, unit type, and whether the property is ready or under construction. In this guide, we present prices according to the number of bedrooms, price per square foot, available projects, and clarify what you can realistically purchase within your budget.

Geographical Notice: The term "Jumeirah" in this article refers to the coastal area stretching between Jumeirah 1 and Jumeirah 3, including La Mer, La Mer Marina, and Jumeirah Bay Island. It does not include Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC), or Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), as these are independent real estate areas with significantly different prices.

What is the average apartment price in Jumeirah Dubai 2026?

Short answer: Apartment prices in Jumeirah start from around 1.7 million AED for a ready one-bedroom unit, typically range between 3–5.5 million AED for two bedrooms, and 5–8 million AED for three bedrooms in ready projects. New luxury waterfront projects start from around 14 million AED and can exceed 40 million AED.

Apartment Type

Approximate Price Range 2026

Note

One-bedroom

1.7 – 3.5 million AED

Varies by project and size (usually 750–1,000 sq.ft.)

Two-bedroom

3 – 5.5 million AED

Ready projects; sea view increases price

Three-bedroom

5 – 8 million AED

Ready projects; significantly higher in luxury units

Large luxury waterfront apartments

From 14 million AED to over 40 million

New coastal projects raise the overall average

We use price ranges here instead of a single "average" figure because the number of transactions in Jumeirah is limited compared to areas like Dubai Marina or JVC, and a single deal in a super-luxury project can skew the average to a number not reflecting what most buyers pay. You can view currently listed units on the Properties for Sale in Jumeirah Dubai page.

What is the price per square foot for apartments in Jumeirah Dubai?

Short answer: The price per square foot for ready apartments in Jumeirah during 2026 ranges approximately between 2,500 and 3,300 AED, based on officially registered sale transactions. Prices rise in new coastal projects to more than 6,000 AED per square foot, and may exceed 10,000 AED in some ultra-luxury units.

There is no single figure suitable for all apartments in Jumeirah because the market consists of roughly three distinct segments:

Segment

Approximate Price per Square Foot

Examples

Ready projects close to the sea

2,500 – 3,300 AED

La Mer Marina and some buildings in Jumeirah 1

New luxury coastal projects (under construction)

5,500 – 6,500 AED

Low-rise beachfront projects in La Mer

Ultra-luxury units and hotel residences

Above 7,000 AED and can exceed 10,000

Jumeirah Bay Island and beachfront hotel residences

What drives up the price per square foot in Jumeirah?

  • Proximity to the sea: Units on the first beachfront row are priced at a clear premium compared to inland units.

  • View: Open sea views or city skyline views raise the price per square foot even within the same building.

  • Project identity and developer: Residences with hotel branding and distinctive architectural design sell at higher prices.

  • Building age: Newer buildings achieve higher prices than older ones at the same location.

  • Ready vs. under construction: New waterfront projects in Jumeirah are usually priced higher than ready units, unlike other areas where off-plan is cheaper.

  • Size and finishing level: Smaller units may have a higher price per square foot, while luxurious finishes increase the total price.

Example of calculating apartment price based on price per square foot

The formula is simple: Area × Price per square foot = approximate apartment price.

Area

Price per Square Foot

Approximate Price

1,000 sq.ft.

2,700 AED

2.7 million AED

1,500 sq.ft.

3,000 AED

4.5 million AED

2,300 sq.ft.

6,150 AED

14.1 million AED

The last example clarifies why two-bedroom apartments in new beachfront projects start from about 14 million AED, while a similarly sized apartment in a ready project may cost only a third of that price.

Apartment prices in Jumeirah by number of bedrooms

Prices of one-bedroom apartments in Jumeirah

What is the price of a one-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah? The price ranges between approximately 1.7 and 3.5 million AED in 2026, depending on the project, area, and view. These apartments typically range from 750 to 1,000 square feet, mostly located in ready projects close to the beach.

This category suits buyers seeking an entry point into Dubai’s coastal market and investors looking for easily rentable units. It is worth noting that new beachfront projects in Jumeirah typically start from two bedrooms, so one-bedroom availability is concentrated in ready projects.

Prices of two-bedroom apartments

Prices for two-bedroom apartments in ready projects range between 3 and 5.5 million AED, with areas around 1,200–1,600 square feet. In new coastal projects, prices start from around 14 million AED for areas exceeding 2,000 square feet. This category combines residential demand from small families and investment demand, making it the most balanced in terms of liquidity. For comparison with other areas, see the Dubai Apartment Price Guide.

Prices of three-bedroom apartments in Jumeirah

Prices for three-bedroom apartments in ready projects range approximately from 5 to 8 million AED, for areas around 1,800–2,300 square feet. This category is strongly influenced by luxury projects; some three-bedroom units in new coastal developments start from about 40 million AED for areas exceeding 6,000 square feet. Therefore, it is always important to compare price per square foot, not just the total price.

Why do apartment prices in Jumeirah vary so much?

Location and proximity to waterfront

Jumeirah is naturally a coastal area, but the actual distance from the beach makes a significant price difference. A project directly on the beach is entirely different from a building several streets away.

Sea view

Within the same project, a unit with an open sea view may sell at a noticeably higher price per square foot than a similar unit with an internal or street view.

Ready apartments vs. under construction

Scarcity of beachfront land in Jumeirah makes new projects priced higher than ready units, unlike other Dubai areas where off-plan tends to be cheaper. Conversely, off-plan projects offer installment payment plans until delivery.

Project level and facilities

Private beach access, hotel services, renowned architectural designs, and wellness and entertainment amenities directly impact price.

Apartment size and number of bedrooms

Larger units increase the total price but do not necessarily raise the price per square foot; smaller apartments may have higher price per square foot due to higher demand.

Two apartments in Jumeirah should not be compared solely based on total price; a higher-priced unit may be cheaper per square foot or offer a different location, view, and project level entirely.

Are apartment prices in Jumeirah higher than Dubai average?

Short answer: Yes. The general median price per square foot for apartments in Dubai was about 1,714 AED in Q2 2026, while in Jumeirah’s ready segment it ranges between 2,500 and 3,300 AED, approximately 45% to 90% higher. The gap widens considerably in new coastal projects.

This is due to Jumeirah being part of the central and coastal high-tier price areas with limited new supply. However, the comparison changes based on property and project type:

Is buying an apartment in Jumeirah good for investment?

Jumeirah boasts factors supporting long-term value: scarcity of available beachfront land for development, continuous demand for coastal housing near city centers, and a tenant base from high-income groups. Estimates indicate gross rental yields around 5–6% in some ready projects.

However, yield varies greatly depending on purchase price; as price per square foot rises, relative rental yield tends to fall, and high service charges in luxury projects affect net yield. Therefore, Jumeirah suits investors seeking value preservation in a rare location more than those seeking the highest rental yield. It is noteworthy that freehold ownership rights for foreigners in Jumeirah are concentrated in specific projects and areas, not the entire district, so you must verify the project status before purchase. For comparison, see other options.

How to choose a suitable apartment in Jumeirah based on your budget?

The right decision does not start with the project's name but follows a clear sequence:

  1. Budget: Determine the total amount including registration and other fees.

  2. Price per square foot: Identify the appropriate segment (ready close to sea or luxury coastal).

  3. Area: Divide your budget by the price per square foot to find the possible area.

  4. Project: Compare projects within the same segment.

  5. Construction status: Ready for immediate occupancy/rental or under construction with payment plan.

  6. Payment plan: Distribution of payments until or after delivery.

  7. Purpose: Personal residence or investment.

Example: If your budget is 3 million AED, it’s not enough just to ask "Is there a 3 million AED apartment in Jumeirah?" At 2,700 AED per square foot, your budget allows for about 1,100 square feet, either a spacious one-bedroom or a small two-bedroom in a ready project. In new beachfront projects, this budget is insufficient even for the smallest unit; here the decision becomes between direct beachfront location or larger space.
