Palm Jumeirah
Shaped like a palm tree, The Palm Jumeirah is one of the biggest man-made islands in the world (and one of the most prestigious destinations, if we do say so ourselves). Known for its stunning coastline, luxury residences, and world-class amenities, Palm Jumeirah is a unique address combining high-end living with waterfront views
Palm Jumeirah is home to many high end hotels, swanky apartment blocks and luxurious villas, with the Atlantis hotel and waterpark overlooking everything from the top.
At the crescent around Palm Jumeirah, you'll find globally famous hotels with breathtaking architecture – brands like Anantara, Kempinski, Waldorf and Viceroy, to name a few. The newest addition to the collection is the stunning Atlantis The Royal, a luxurious hotel offering some of the world's most recognised dining options and plenty of lavish experiences.
Palm Jumeirah offers a luxurious island lifestyle, with access to beautiful beaches and premium facilities. The area has a slightly higher cost of living and can experience peak-time traffic, but it’s well-suited to those seeking exclusivity, stunning sea views, and convenient access to high-end amenities.
Kids will be drawn to the entertainment and excitement of the Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark and Lost Chambers Aquarium – other attractions like Dolphin Bay and Sealion Point give you the chance to swim with aquatic friends. After Atlantis, the family can take a stroll along The Boardwalk promenade and stop for a bite to eat.
As with any island, water and beaches play a significant role. And there’s lots of opportunity to relax, swim and sunbathe on Palm Jumeirah.
For young ones, there are a few local nursery schools in Palm Jumeirah, including Asya’s Nursery and a branch of the Babilou nursery chain, both conveniently located on the Palm’s trunk. For primary or secondary schools you‘ll need to go off-Palm. There are several good options in Emirates Living, including DBS; a number of schools on nearby Hessa Street, including Dubai College, GEMS Nations Academy and American School of Dubai; and the new Kings School in Al Barsha.
Palm Jumeirah stands out with its unique monorail system, directly linking to the Dubai Tram and Dubai Metro networks, making popular locations such as Dubai Marina and Mall of the Emirates easily accessible. Positioned close to Sheikh Zayed Road, Palm Jumeirah is well-suited for both car owners and public transit users. This island community is ideal for residents seeking luxury waterfront living with seamless access to Dubai’s transport hubs.
