Dubai Islands · by Nakheel
Rixos branded beachfront homes on Dubai Islands by Nakheel, with a near-term handover.
Rixos Dubai Islands Hotel & Residences: key facts
The design story
This pairs the Rixos resort brand with Nakheel, the master developer behind the Palm and Dubai Islands, on a beachfront plot on the new Dubai Islands archipelago just off Deira. It combines a recognisable resort name with one of Dubai's most established master developers.
Homes run from one to four bedrooms, with resort-style amenities and hotel service, and the handover is near-term, which sets it apart from most of the branded pipeline. Dubai Islands is Nakheel's next big waterfront play, with beaches, marinas and a beach-resort feel close to the city.
For a buyer who wants a resort brand, a beachfront address and keys soon, backed by a proven master developer, this is one of the more grounded branded beach buys in Dubai.
