Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty has set a new benchmark in the UAE property market after selling a villa on Jumeirah Bay Island for AED330 million, marking the most expensive home on the island.
The six-bedroom villa, located on one of three exclusive plots at the island’s tip, offers uninterrupted views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline.
Spanning 26,895 sq. ft., the property stands out with its contemporary design, featuring full-height glass walls and 13-metre-high ceilings.
Dubai Sotheby’s record sale
George Azar, CEO and Chairman of Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty said: “We are the leaders in super-prime real estate, and this record-breaking sale is yet another testament to what we achieve time and time again. AED330 million is more than just a figure—it’s a statement. It reflects the trust our clients place in us, our ability to deliver, and the strength of Dubai’s thriving super-prime market. The demand for properties of this calibre marks a shift where provenance and exclusivity hold more value than ever. In this segment, we don’t just set records—we shape the market. We are proud to continue setting new benchmarks and connecting our clients with the region’s most extraordinary properties.”
Constructed with premium materials including Taj Mahal Quartzite, Patagonian marble, and walnut wood veneer, the villa includes a beachfront infinity pool and a private white-sand beach.
This sale, facilitated by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty Associate Directors Regan Faulkner and Ioana Armeanu, who represented the seller, surpasses the previous record of AED240.5 million, which was also set by Dubai Sotheby’s International Realty in June 2024.
Jumeirah Bay Island, often called ‘Billionaire’s Island’, comprises just 128 plots and attracts wealthy buyers seeking exclusivity.
“This villa occupies the most sought-after location on Jumeirah Bay Island. With uninterrupted views of the Dubai skyline, a prime beachfront position, and total exclusivity, it is one of the rarest opportunities on the market. Jumeirah Bay Island remains the most coveted address in Dubai, with just 128 plots, and its desirability only continues to grow,” Associate Director Regan explained.
“The demand for bespoke, one-of-a-kind residences here has never been stronger, and this record-breaking sale on Jumeirah Bay Island is a testament to its enduring appeal. It was a privilege to represent such an incredible property and connect our client with the perfect buyer,” Associate Director Ioana said.
The sale underscores Dubai’s continuing appeal to high-net-worth individuals seeking distinctive, premium properties in an exclusive location.
