Palm Jebel Ali
Twice the size of Palm Jumeirah at a fraction of the density — 1,789 villas across sixteen fronds and 110 kilometres of new coastline.
About the District
Palm Jebel Ali lies off the coast south of the Jebel Ali Free Zone, covering 13.6 square kilometres — roughly twice the footprint of Palm Jumeirah. Nakheel, a Dubai Holding company, is master developer, and in July 2025 Select Group became the first private developer confirmed on the island through a strategic land sale. Sixteen fronds are planned for 1,789 residential units, against 24,632 on Palm Jumeirah, giving markedly lower density. Stock spans five- to seven-bedroom villas, the Beach and Coral Collections, and Palm Central Private Residences.
Twice the Size, a Fraction of the Density
The island covers 13.6 sq km with 1,789 planned homes, against 24,632 on Palm Jumeirah — a deliberate move towards far lower density and larger plots.
110 km of Coastline, 90 km of Beach
The masterplan adds 110 kilometres of coastline and 90 kilometres of beaches, with water sports, a yacht marina and over 80 hotels and resorts planned.
Freehold Throughout the Island
All properties on Palm Jebel Ali are freehold, and pricing sits well below equivalent product on Palm Jumeirah at this stage of delivery.

Area Overview
Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel's second palm-shaped island and its answer to the density of the first. Across 13.6 square kilometres — about twice Palm Jumeirah's footprint — the plan carries just 1,789 homes against 24,632 on its predecessor, prioritising large beachfront plots over volume. Sixteen fronds hold five- to seven-bedroom villas in the Beach and Coral Collections, with apartments and townhouses at Palm Central Private Residences. In July 2025 Select Group became the first private developer confirmed on the island. Buyers are ultra-high-net-worth end users and long-horizon investors buying pre-delivery at a discount to the established island.
