In December 2025, Palm Jebel Ali has officially reclaimed its title as the most ambitious coastal project in the world. Spanning 13.4 square kilometers—nearly twice the size of Palm Jumeirah—this Nakheel-led masterpiece is the primary target for ultra-high-net-worth investors. At Zamzam Property, we are seeing a significant shift in capital toward this “New Frontier,” where the promise of 110 kilometers of new coastline is driving a 25% surge in luxury villa transactions.
The Scale of Ambition and Pricing Advantage
While Palm Jumeirah remains an icon, its maturity has pushed prices to nearly AED 9,000 per sq. ft. In contrast, Zam properties on Palm Jebel Ali are currently entering the market at a strategic price point of approximately AED 3,000 per sq. ft. This 60-70% price gap represents a massive window for capital appreciation. According to Zamelect Properties analysts, as infrastructure progresses throughout 2026, we expect these entry prices to climb rapidly, mimicking the historical growth curve of the original Palm.
Beach and Coral Collections: The Pinnacle of Luxury
The development features two primary residential offerings: The Beach Collection (5-6 bedroom villas) and the elite Coral Collection (7-bedroom mansions). Each unit offers direct beach access and plot sizes that are roughly 30% larger than those found on Palm Jumeirah. Zamzam Properties highlights that the “Spine” of the island will host over 80 hotels and resorts, creating a hospitality ecosystem that will rival the world’s most famous tourist destinations.
Strategic Connectivity and 2040 Vision
Palm Jebel Ali is not an isolated island; it is a central pillar of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. With seamless links to Sheikh Zayed Road and the burgeoning Al Maktoum International Airport, the island serves as the luxury anchor for Dubai’s southern expansion. For those looking for Zamzam Dubai properties, the long-term play here is undeniable. With the first handovers anticipated between 2027 and 2028, securing a position now through Zam properties ensures a first-mover advantage in what is set to be the world’s most sophisticated residential destination.
