Bay Estates by Nakheel on Dubai Islands

Overview

Bay Estates by Nakheel introduces a residential villa and townhouse community on Island E, one of the five islands forming Dubai Islands in Dubai, UAE. The development brings together 357 villas and townhouses across a selection of 3- and 4-bedroom homes, complemented by villa plots. Designed around a low-density island setting, Bay Estates combines contemporary residences with landscaped surroundings, lagoons, marina-side living and coastal spaces. The community is arranged across three collections—Verda, Cala and Agora—with Phase 1 scheduled to launch in early October 2026 and expected handover planned for January 2031.

Island E Residential Setting

Located on Island E within Dubai Islands, Bay Estates places its residences in a coastal environment shaped by open spaces, greenery and waterfront surroundings. The project is planned as a low-density residential community where landscaped parks, lagoons and marina-side areas form part of the wider setting. Its island location provides a distinct residential character while keeping the development within Dubai's broader urban environment.

Three Distinct Collections

Bay Estates is divided into three residential collections known as Verda, Cala and Agora. Each collection offers its own interpretation of the island surroundings while remaining part of the wider Bay Estates community. The first collection to launch is Verda, which takes inspiration from the natural landscape and places greenery, parks and tree-lined streets at the heart of its neighbourhood setting.

Townhouse Collection

The townhouse selection at Bay Estates includes both 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom configurations. There are 98 three-bedroom townhouses ranging from 3,054.91 to 3,084.83 sq ft, while the 78 four-bedroom townhouses range from 3,512.69 to 3,545.74 sq ft. These homes are arranged as G+1 residences, providing spacious layouts designed around contemporary family living within the island community.

Attached Villa Options

Attached villas add two distinct 4-bedroom configurations to the Bay Estates residential mix. The development includes 66 four-bedroom attached villas with G+1 configurations and sizes between 3,688.04 and 3,693.64 sq ft. A further 68 four-bedroom plus attached villas are arranged across G+2 configurations, with sizes ranging from 5,257.20 to 5,262.15 sq ft, creating a larger home option within the collection.

Garden Villas at Bay Estates

The Garden Villas form a collection of 47 four-bedroom residences, each arranged as G+1 homes with an area of 5,200.15 sq ft. Their concept is connected with the greener character of Bay Estates, where parks, landscaped areas and private garden spaces contribute to the overall residential environment. The generous footprint provides another villa format alongside the attached villa and townhouse options.

Villa and Waterfront Plots

Bay Estates also includes a selection of plots for buyers seeking larger land parcels within the island setting. The development features 46 waterfront plots measuring from 7,802.11 to 11,059.37 sq ft, together with 14 beach plots ranging from 7,647 to 9,568.14 sq ft. These 60 plots are separate from the 357 completed villa and townhouse units and provide additional property options within the wider development.

Contemporary Home Interiors

The residences at Bay Estates are described with a warm and neutral interior palette, tactile finishes and refined detailing. Large windows are incorporated to bring natural light deeper into the homes, while flexible spaces are designed to accommodate changing family requirements. The layouts balance areas intended for gathering with quieter spaces for relaxation and private retreat.

Prices Across Property Types

The supplied average prices range from AED 5.9 million for a 3-bedroom townhouse to AED 10 million for a 4-bedroom Garden Villa. The average price indicated for a 4-bedroom townhouse is AED 6.9 million, while 4-bedroom attached villas average AED 7.2 million and 4-bedroom plus attached villas average AED 8.9 million. Waterfront plots have an average price of AED 18 million, while beach plots have an average price of AED 20 million.

Payment Structure and Handover

Bay Estates follows a stated 60/40 payment plan for its residential homes, with 60% payable during construction and the remaining 40% due at handover. The expected handover is scheduled for January 2031. Villa plots follow a separate payment schedule and are stated to be fully paid by September 2029, giving the plot offerings a different financial timeline from the standard residential payment structure.

Phase 1 at Dubai Islands

Bay Estate Phase 1 is scheduled for launch in early October 2026 as the first release on Island E. The launch introduces a limited collection of 3- and 4-bedroom villas and townhouses within the wider Bay Estates concept, alongside its island-oriented setting of landscaped parks, coastal spaces and marina-side living. With Verda opening the collection lineup and Cala and Agora forming the remaining residential collections, the development presents multiple home formats within one planned island community.
