Frequently Asked Questions — Shore Island (Island B)
Shore Island — also called Island B — is Dubai Islands’ dedicated beachfront district, developed by Nakheel. It focuses on low-rise residential communities, boutique resorts, and beach-facing amenities. The island spans the western coastline with 45 planned hotels, over 300,000 sq m of green space, and a series of beach clubs. Freehold ownership is available to all nationalities, with entry prices from AED 2.7M.
In April 2026, Nakheel awarded a AED 527 million infrastructure contract for Shore Island, covering roads, coastal infrastructure, and utilities. This contract confirms that Island B has moved from planning to active construction phase. For off-plan buyers, it is a key indicator that the project is funded and proceeding on schedule — a signal that has historically preceded price increases on comparable Dubai Islands projects.
Properties on Shore Island start from AED 2.3M for apartments (HADO by Beyond Developments) and from AED 2.7M for branded residences such as Meriva Collection by Ellington Properties and Cheval Residences by Avenew Development. Penthouses and villa units are priced higher depending on the project and floor level. All pricing is subject to developer releases — contact Preference Properties for current availability.
Short-term rental yields on Shore Island are estimated at 11–13% annually for beachfront and sea-view units, based on DLD transaction data and current Airbnb/short-term rental market dynamics across Dubai Islands. Long-term rental yields for Shore Island properties are estimated at 8%+ annually. Beachfront location and proximity to resort infrastructure support strong occupancy for short-term rental investors.
Yes. Purchasing a property on Shore Island with a DLD-registered value of AED 2,000,000 or above qualifies the buyer for the UAE Golden Visa — a 10-year renewable residency permit. The qualifying threshold is based on the registered DLD value, not the equity paid, meaning mortgaged properties at the full registered price qualify. Shore Island is a designated freehold zone open to all international buyers.
Island A is the commercial and mixed-use core of Dubai Islands — dense, with retail, entertainment, and high-rise residential. Shore Island (Island B) is a lower-density, beach-first district focused on wellness, resort living, and direct sea access. Island B has fewer projects but a stronger beachfront character. Buyers choosing between the two typically prioritize Island A for urban lifestyle and Island B for beachfront privacy and resort proximity.
