Overview

About Bay Villas: Waterfront Villas on Dubai Islands by Nakheel

Bay Villas is a premium waterfront residential community on Island B, Dubai Islands, developed by Nakheel. The masterplan lines a 1.3 km private beachfront and a 1.3 km rock water-edge promenade, with low-density design and resort-style living.

Nakheel's Bay Villas lineup spans five typologies across the community: Beachfront Villas, Waterfront Villas, Garden Villas, Semi-Detached Villas, Townhouses. Register below for updates as each typology opens for sale. Bedroom counts and sizes are published in the table below where Nakheel or the authorized channel partner has confirmed them.

Waterfront Living

Island B, Dubai Islands

Five islands spanning 17 sq km, over 50 km of waterfront, 20 km of beaches, 2 km of landscaped parks and open spaces, plus a golf course overlooking the Arabian Gulf. New 1,425-metre bridge connecting Dubai Islands directly to the Bur Dubai side of the city across Dubai Creek.

Bay Villas sits on Island B within Nakheel's Dubai Islands masterplan — a low-density waterfront address shaped around private beaches, landscaped parks, and a rock water-edge promenade rather than high-rise density.

Island B is positioned for resort-style daily living: morning walks along the shoreline, beach club and pool amenities within the community, and short drives to Downtown Dubai, Dubai International Airport, and established schools and healthcare once the bridge connection is fully in use.

Within Bay Villas, five villa typologies — from Beachfront and Waterfront villas to Garden, Semi-Detached, and Townhouse formats — share the same island setting while offering different plot sizes and water proximity. Nakheel's Phase 3 release panel applies to the current construction phase.

Waterfront Villas

The supplied Nakheel brochure covers only the Waterfront Villas typology: five architectural exterior variants (Types A through E) of the same 622–750 sqm, 5-bedroom envelope, each with a distinct exterior character while sharing the Barefoot Luxury interior direction.

Confirmed Waterfront Villas details include natural and warm finishes, built-in kitchen appliances, international-brand ironmongery and brassware, warm white LED lighting, and a dedicated pet/utility room. Types A–E are not five separate floor areas; they are exterior variants within one typology range.

Garden Villas, Semi-Detached Villas, and Townhouses are covered at typology level only until Nakheel publishes dedicated collateral for each.

Construction Progress

Two independent progress inspections are on record. Nakheel's internal figures and RERA's regulatory inspection can differ slightly because they are separate assessments at different dates.

Source	Date	Overall progress	Detail
Nakheel internal inspection	11 June 2026	16.67%	Substructure 78.75%, Superstructure 49.14%, Building Work 14.60%, MEP Work 7.61%, Infrastructure 47%
RERA inspection	7 May 2026	14.74%	Independent regulatory inspection; figures can differ slightly from developer-reported progress

No confirmed handover date is published by Nakheel as of this build.
