Jumeira Bay
A 148-acre private island off the Jumeirah coast, reached by one guarded bridge, where Bulgari Residences and custom mansions share a yacht marina.
About the District
Jumeira Bay is a man-made island off the Jumeirah coastline, shaped like a seahorse and connected to the mainland by a single 300-metre security-controlled bridge. Developed by Meraas across 148 acres and completed in 2018, it holds 127 residential plots alongside the Bulgari Resort & Residences — 121 guest rooms, 20 hotel villas, six residential buildings and 15 private mansions. Villa Amalfi by Emaar adds 68 freehold villas, while Sea Mirror and BVLGARI Marina Lofts complete a community served by a marina for 50 boats.
One Guarded Bridge, 127 Plots
The island is reached only by a 300-metre security-controlled bridge, with public transport deliberately absent and just 127 residential plots in total.
Bulgari Resort & Residences
The island's anchor is Bulgari's Dubai property: a boutique resort, six residential buildings, 20 hotel villas and 15 private mansions with Michelin-grade dining.
Super-Yacht Marina and Yacht Club
A marina for around 50 boats sits within the island, with a yacht club, private beach access and waterfront promenades reserved for residents.
Area Overview
Jumeira Bay is Dubai's most controlled ultra-prime address: an artificial island of 148 acres off the Jumeirah coast, reached by a single guarded bridge with no public transport by design. Meraas completed it in 2018 around a plan of just 127 residential plots, an exceptionally low density for a location minutes from Downtown Dubai. The Bulgari Resort & Residences sets the tone, joined by Villa Amalfi's 68 Emaar villas, Sea Mirror and BVLGARI Marina Lofts. Buyers are ultra-high-net-worth end users and long-horizon wealth-preservation purchasers rather than yield investors, and much of the market is in custom mansion plots and completed trophy villas.
