The World Islands

The World Islands is an archipelago off Dubai's coast, shaped like a map of the world, about four kilometres offshore from Jumeirah. Access is by boat only, from mainland marinas. Developers arrange transfers for residents and guests, so check the arrangements for your island.

The World Islands is a long-term project of private islands, resorts and beach clubs, with development progressing island by island. Amenities depend entirely on the island and developer. The mainland's dining and shopping are a boat ride away, so plan for daily logistics.

There are no schools on The World Islands. Families would rely on mainland schools in Jumeirah and Umm Suqeim, such as Jumeirah College, making daily boat transfers a key consideration. Check curricula, fees and current ratings on the KHDA school directory before deciding.

It suits buyers seeking unique holiday homes and investors targeting resort-style short lets, rather than everyday family living. The World Islands is named in Dubai's foreign ownership regulation. Amali Properties is the developer of the listed launch, so check its delivery record.

We currently list 1 off-plan project in The World Islands, from developers including Amali Properties. Each project shows its unit types, starting figures and handover date. See other launches across the emirate on our off-plan list, and read payment plans explained before you choose.

The World Islands is one of Dubai's designated areas for foreign ownership. Designation applies to specific plots, not the whole district, so confirm the exact plot through the Dubai Land Department's Property Status Enquiry before you reserve.
