Palm Jebel Alian island built to be lived on
Not a single crescent but seven connected islands and sixteen fronds — a whole coastal district of beaches, marinas, resorts and neighbourhoods rising off Dubai's southern shore.
A second palm, at twice the scale
Palm Jebel Ali is Nakheel's second palm-shaped island, and it dwarfs the first. The master plan spans over 10.5 million square metres across sixteen fronds and seven interconnected islands — roughly twice the footprint of Palm Jumeirah — and is designed to add around 110 kilometres of new coastline to the city.
Where Palm Jumeirah grew into Dubai's most recognisable address one tower at a time, Palm Jebel Ali is being planned as a complete community from the outset: homes, beaches, schools, clinics, marinas and retail laid out together, so the island works on an ordinary Tuesday and not only on a holiday weekend.
Three ways to live here
From beachfront family villas to ultra-prime signature mansions and a connected resort-style apartment district, the island's homes are grouped into three distinct collections.
A whole district's worth of everyday
The master plan folds resort amenity and daily essentials into the same island, so life doesn't require the mainland.
Private beaches & beach clubs
Swimmable frontage on every frond, a family beach club and a sunset promenade tracing the western edge.
Marinas & yachting
Full-service marinas and berthing built into the crescent — the Gulf begins a few steps from the door.
80+ hotels & resorts
Beachfront five-stars, eco-retreats and boutique stays phased across the island's outer edges.
Waterfront dining & retail
Restaurant, café and boutique-retail precincts wrapped around the marinas, scaled for residents.
Parks & promenades
Landscaped parks, water features and shaded playgrounds threaded between the fronds and along the shore.
Schools, clinics & mosques
Everyday essentials planned in from day one, with island-wide cycling and pedestrian routes.
Closer to the new Dubai than you think
Palm Jebel Ali sits on the southern coastline beside Jebel Ali, tied to the mainland by three access points straight onto Sheikh Zayed Road — in the growth corridor around Al Maktoum International and Expo City.
