Dubai Islands

About Dubai Islands

Dubai Islands is a visionary mixed-use waterfront development in Dubai, featuring a cluster of five islands spread across 17 square kilometers. These islands—Marina Island, Central Island, Shore Island, Golf Island, and Elite Island—are designed to offer a blend of luxury, sustainability, and connectivity.

Previously known as Deira Islands, the project was rebranded as Dubai Islands in August 2022 to align with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. This initiative focuses on sustainable urban development, enhancing Dubai’s appeal as a global destination.

  • A premier waterfront development
  • Situated off the coast of Deira

Once complete, it will feature wellness resorts, eco-friendly and luxury hotels, and Souk Al Marfa, a renowned shopping destination.
