Average Apartment Prices in Palm Jumeirah Island Dubai 2026

The average selling price of apartments in Palm Jumeirah is approximately 4,147 AED per square foot in 2026, based on sales transactions registered until August, with clear differences depending on the number of bedrooms, project, location within the island, and type of view. The recorded averages range roughly between 3,055 AED per square foot for studios and over 6,500 AED for four-bedroom apartments.

In this guide, we do not just present the figures; we analyze what lies behind them: how prices are distributed by unit type, how they have moved over the last 12 months, why the price per square foot doubles in some projects compared to the island's average, and what the actual purchase cost is beyond the apartment price.

Average prices of Palm Jumeirah apartments by number of bedrooms

The price per square foot varies significantly between apartment types, so the overall average alone is not sufficient to estimate your budget.

Studio prices in Palm Jumeirah

Studios record an average of about 3,055 AED per square foot, higher than the average for one-bedroom apartments. This is because a large part of the studios on the market are within hotel apartments and serviced projects, where the price per square foot is generally higher in smaller units.

One-bedroom apartment prices

One-bedroom apartments record the lowest average among categories at about 2,809 AED per square foot, making them the most common entry point into the Palm market, especially in buildings located on the trunk.

Two-bedroom apartment prices

The average is about 3,496 AED per square foot. This category enjoys wide demand from small families and investors seeking a balance between space and entry price.

Three-bedroom apartment prices

The average reaches about 4,355 AED per square foot, marking a clear transition toward the luxury segment, as these units are common in projects overlooking the open sea.

Large and luxury apartment prices

• Four bedrooms: about 6,545 AED per square foot.

• Five bedrooms or more: about 6,470 AED per square foot.

These units are concentrated in luxury projects and hotel-branded developments on the crescent, which is why the price per square foot jumps to nearly double the price of one-bedroom apartments.

Important note: The above figures represent the average price per square foot, not the average price for the entire apartment. The final price of any unit varies according to its actual area, floor, view, and the project in which it is located.

How have apartment prices changed in Palm Jumeirah during 2026?

The average price per square foot for apartments in Palm Jumeirah increased from about 3,944 AED to 4,147 AED in the last 12 months until August 2026. However, this rise was not uniform across unit types:

These figures reveal two opposite trends within the same market:

• Large units are still benefiting from demand for spacious areas and sea views, driven by buyers seeking luxury living.

• Small units face greater competition with new supply entering the market through projects under construction, which reflects on resale prices in older buildings.

Practically, this means that looking at the average alone might be misleading, and buyers need to monitor prices for the specific category they target.

Why do apartment prices vary in Palm Jumeirah?

You may find two apartments with the same number of bedrooms on Palm Jumeirah with prices differing by twice or more. The main factors explaining this are:

Location within Palm Jumeirah

The island is divided into the trunk, which is the part closest to the mainland and easiest to access, including many existing residential buildings, and the crescent that surrounds the island and includes ultra-luxury resorts and hotel projects. The farther the project is from traffic and the closer to the open sea, the higher the price usually is.

Sea view

View is one of the most influential factors on price, as units overlooking the open sea, Dubai skyline, or Atlantis landmark fetch higher prices compared to units overlooking neighboring buildings or partial views.

Project and hotel brand

Projects associated with hotel brands or developers specialized in luxury carry a clear price premium due to the level of finishing, hotel services, and privacy they provide.

Apartment size and number of bedrooms

As shown in the price table by bedrooms, the price per square foot rises noticeably in apartments with four or more bedrooms, as they are concentrated in the highest market segment.

Property readiness and delivery date

Prices differ between ready apartments and projects under construction, which usually offer phased payment plans; the price per square foot in these projects may be higher because of their newness and specifications.

Private beach and services

Direct access to a private beach, swimming pools, health clubs, concierge services, all raise the unit's value and also increase the annual service fees accordingly.

Apartment prices in major Palm Jumeirah projects

The difference between the island’s average and the prices in luxury projects shows that Palm is not a single market, but several adjacent markets. Here are the major projects currently available through امتلاك Global:

Azizi Mina project – Azizi Mina

The project is located on the eastern crescent of Palm Jumeirah and is ready for residence, which gives the buyer the ability to move in or rent immediately without waiting for delivery. It includes units from one to four bedrooms and falls within a segment realistically comparable to market averages, unlike ultra-luxury projects. Unit prices currently start from about $463,000 at the time of writing, with price differences depending on size and view. Discover Azizi Mina in Palm Jumeirah and available unit options.

COMO Residences project – COMO Residences

A Nakheel development, featuring units from two to five bedrooms, still under construction. The project targets the ultra-luxury segment, with a tall tower design and panoramic sea and city skyline views. For this reason, its prices should not be used to represent the average apartment prices across Palm, as the price per square foot is much higher than the general average. Learn more about COMO Residences Palm Jumeirah.

ORLA by Omniyat project – ORLA by Omniyat

A super-luxury project under construction, comprising large units with direct views of the Arabian Gulf. The recorded average price per square foot in this project is about 8,006 AED, nearly double the average price for island apartments, clearly illustrating the gap between area averages and ultra-luxury projects. See the ORLA by Omniyat project.

Do apartment prices differ between the Trunk and Crescent of Palm Jumeirah?

Yes, the nature and prices of properties differ clearly between the two parts:

Generally, the Trunk suits those looking for a practical apartment for daily living at a lower entry price, while the Crescent suits those seeking privacy, full sea views, and a higher level of luxury.

What is the cost of buying an apartment in Palm Jumeirah aside from the property price?

The purchase budget is not limited to the apartment price but includes several additional items:

1. Registration fees at the Land Department: 4% of the property value, plus administrative fees.

2. Real estate agent commission: if applicable, determined by agreement.

3. Annual service fees: calculated based on area, usually higher in luxury projects with hotel services.

4. Financing costs: when purchasing through a mortgage, such as mortgage registration fees, bank fees, and appraisal fees.

To learn details of each item and how to calculate it, refer to the Costs of purchasing property in Dubai guide.

Is buying an apartment in Palm Jumeirah suitable for investment?

Palm Jumeirah combines several factors supporting its investment appeal, notably the limited land on a fully planned island and the continuous demand for coastal properties from residents and visitors. Apartments offer two income options: long-term leases for residents or short-term rentals benefiting from tourist activity during seasons.

On the other hand, the entry price remains a decisive factor: the higher the purchase price, the lower the relative rental yield. Thus, it is important to distinguish between two goals: achieving regular rental income or investing in long-term property value growth. There are no guarantees for price increases or specific yield rates, as results depend on market conditions and each unit’s features.
