Record-Breaking Sale: $12.5M Villa on Jumeirah Islands
A villa in Jumeirah Islands has sold for AED 46 million ($12.5M), the highest sale in the community to date. This sale by Allsopp & Allsopp’s Private Office shows the growing appetite for luxury property in Dubai.
Located in the exclusive Masterview cluster, the villa is built upon a massive 15,808 sqft plot and is fully upgraded. The 7,483 sqft of living space was designed and developed by AMBRA Development and combines architecture, design and technology to give a premium lifestyle.
Dubai Luxury Real Estate Boom
The Dubai property market is seeing a big surge in high-end residential sales. Last year, Dubai had 435 sales of $10 million and above and almost equal to the number of sales in London. Additionally, 111 homes in this price bracket sold in Q1 2025, the highest for any January to March period.
Wealthy investors are buying properties in premium communities like Jumeirah Islands, Palm Jumeirah and Emirates Hills. What’s more interesting is the demand from international buyers. Investors from the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Singapore, China and Russia are all looking at Dubai.
This has created intense competition for luxury villas, especially in gated communities. Limited supply of ultra-luxury properties has driven up values. As a result, communities like Jumeirah Islands have seen a change in demographics and have become international hubs of luxury.
Jumeirah Islands: A Prime Investment Destination
Jumeirah Islands is a unique residential development comprising 46 islands, each surrounded by man-made lakes and landscaped gardens. The community offers high privacy, large plots and a serene atmosphere, all within minutes to Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and Downtown Dubai.
With good infrastructure, good schools and recreational facilities, Jumeirah Islands is perfect for families and high-net-worth individuals. The Masterview cluster is known for large plots, lakefront locations and upgraded interiors. As the market gets tighter, these homes are getting rare.

Dubai’s Property Market Trends in 2025
