The island's mix includes villas, townhouses, apartments and plots, with different settings across its villages. The tables show asking prices when we have sale or rental listings here, and ADREC median rents for the district when available. Asking prices and the rental index describe different measures, and an individual property's location and type matter when interpreting them.

About Jubail Island
Jubail Island sits between Saadiyat and Yas in Abu Dhabi City, with residential villages arranged around coastal waters and mangroves. The developer gives the island an area of 40 million square metres and says about 20% is developed (Jubail Island developer FAQs, October 2026). Access is from the E12 at Exit 17, across the island bridge, while the Mangrove Park brings visitors to its boardwalk and waterways (Jubail Island developer FAQs and Experience Abu Dhabi, October 2026).
The plan combines villas and townhouses with apartments and plots, so buyers can look at a finished home, an apartment in the centre or a larger site in a separate village. The developer lists 164 plots, 465 apartments, 303 townhouses and 854 villas in its residential plan; these are plan figures, not a count of homes currently available (Jubail Island developer FAQs, October 2026). The developer announced in April 2026 that more than 1,000 homes had been handed over, while ADREC recorded 967 homes in the district in June 2026; the sources report different measures at different dates (Jubail Island delivery announcement and ADREC Interactive Map, October 2026).
Souk Al Jubail is the planned common centre, with Jubail Terraces apartments and a Spinneys supermarket that the developer says is open. The Redwood nursery is listed as open, while Gordonstoun School is listed as coming soon; healthcare and wider shopping also involve destinations outside the island. The park has boardwalks and kayaking, and the developer lists sports courts and paths among facilities available on the island.
The market includes delivered phases and projects still being developed. ADREC lists Phase 1 as built and records Jubail Terraces and Marsa Al Jubail at 100% progress, but Ain Al Maha Village at 78.16% when read in October 2026 (ADREC project register, October 2026). This is a snapshot of individual registered projects rather than proof that every surrounding amenity is open. The Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island explains the wider villages and their history (Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island, October 2026).

The island is organised around distinct villages, from the commercial centre to waterfront and mansion neighbourhoods.
Souk Al Jubail
The Souk brings residential and commercial uses together at the centre of the island. Spinneys is open here, and the developer's plan includes retail and food and drink spaces. Redwood nursery and kindergarten is also listed as open in the Souk.
Source: Jubail Island: The Souk, developer FAQs and lifestyle, October 2026.
Jubail Terraces
Jubail Terraces is the apartment project in Souk Al Jubail, with studios, apartments of up to 3 bedrooms and duplexes. ADREC records the mixed use building project with 269 units and 100% progress in its October 2026 snapshot. The supermarket and nursery are in the same centre.
Source: Jubail Island: The Souk, developer FAQs and lifestyle; ADREC project register, October 2026.
Marfaa and Marsa Al Jubail
Marfaa is the marina village, with Marsa Al Jubail as its waterfront quarter. The guide describes a promenade and marina setting, and the developer lists the marina berths among completed milestones. ADREC records Marsa Al Jubail as a 36 villa project at 100% progress in October 2026.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island, developer FAQs and ADREC project register, October 2026.
Nad Al Dhabi
Nad Al Dhabi is a villa village associated with parks and family facilities. The developer lists jogging paths, courts and outdoor play areas among island facilities, and says its first 44 homes were delivered during April to June 2024. ADREC separately lists Nad Al Dhabi North as a registered 13 villa project, so the phase matters when considering a home.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island, developer FAQs and ADREC project register, October 2026.
Seef Al Jubail
Seef is a shoreline village with villas and inland clusters described in the Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island. The developer includes Seef in the island plan and lists a community centre and park in its development schedule, so these should be understood as planned facilities rather than assumed open. Its setting provides a different choice from an apartment in the central Souk.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island and developer FAQs, October 2026.
Ain Al Maha
Ain Al Maha is planned around estuaries, waterfront villas and beaches, with a school, clinic and community centre shown in the developer's plan. ADREC records 73 villas in Ain Al Maha Village and 78.16% progress when read in October 2026. Gordonstoun is associated with this village, but its opening is still shown as coming soon on the lifestyle page.
Source: Jubail Island: Ain Al Maha and lifestyle; ADREC project register, October 2026.
Bada Al Jubail
Bada is the gated mansion area described in the island guide, with beach access and a residents' marina in the plan. The developer describes mansion plots ranging from 2,000 square metres to 6,000 square metres and nine mansion designs. ADREC lists Bada Al Jubail 1 and 2 as separate plot projects, each with its own progress record in October 2026.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island, developer FAQs and ADREC project register, October 2026.
RIMAS
RIMAS is a newer neighbourhood of 4 to 6 bedroom villas, including waterfront homes. The developer illustrates a mangrove trail, community beach, pool and gym as part of its design, so the amenities should be read as the project plan. ADREC lists Rimas as a registered 316 villa project in its October 2026 directory snapshot.

Who Jubail Island suits
Families
Villas and townhouses give families an alternative to apartment living, while the developer lists play areas and sports courts on the island. The open Redwood nursery and the planned Gordonstoun school serve different stages; Noya British School on Yas is another school option beyond the bridge.
Nature and outdoor life
The public mangrove park has raised paths and kayaking, and the wider plan includes cycling and walking routes. This setting may appeal to people who value access to the water as much as the home itself, while recognising that facilities vary by village.
Apartment buyers
Jubail Terraces puts studios, apartments and duplexes in Souk Al Jubail, the island's central mixed use district. The supermarket is open there, although some retail facilities remain part of the development programme.
Waterfront and larger homes
Marfaa is organised around the marina and Ain Al Maha around coastal landscapes. Bada offers mansion plots, while RIMAS adds larger waterfront villa designs. Locations, plot sizes and access to facilities differ between these neighbourhoods.

Buying in Jubail Island: rules and costs
Ownership
The Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island says buyers of any nationality can acquire freehold homes here. For an apartment, the owner's rights include the unit and an undivided share in common parts under ADREC rules. The title and restrictions for a particular property remain important to the purchase.
Source: Masterpiece Property guide to Jubail Island and ADREC registration rules, October 2026.
Registration costs
ADREC's registration rules let the Executive Committee set the sale registration fee within 1% to 4%, shared equally by seller and buyer unless they agree otherwise. An off-plan sale in the initial register has a 2% fee, shared equally by seller and buyer, capped at AED 2,000,000 per transaction. The Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat discusses the other costs that can accompany a purchase.
Source: ADREC registration rules and Masterpiece Property guide to buying property in Abu Dhabi as an expat, October 2026.
Buying off plan
Sales of off-plan units must be entered in the initial register, and buyer payments for the units go into the project's escrow account. ADREC's directory identifies projects and their developer, so a reservation can be matched to the registered phase rather than a broad village name. Payment schedules and the Down Payment depend on the specific contract.
Source: ADREC registration rules, ADREC project register and Masterpiece Property guide to buying off-plan property in Abu Dhabi, October 2026.
Mortgage
The developer says mortgage facilities are available through major banks. The Masterpiece Property mortgage guide explains that a lender's valuation and lending criteria affect the amount financed and the buyer's cash contribution. A valuation below the agreed price can leave a difference for the buyer to fund.
Source: Jubail Island developer FAQs and Masterpiece Property mortgage guide, October 2026.
Golden Visa
ICP, the federal authority that issues it, gives real estate investors a 10 year Golden Residency when one or more properties in the UAE are worth at least AED 2,000,000 in total, fully owned and registered in the investor's name. A property financed by an approved local bank qualifies, as do off-plan units worth at least AED 2,000,000 bought from an approved developer. ICP decides each application.
Source: ICP, UAE Golden Residency, updated September 2026.
Service charges
Jubail Island Community Management handles community operations and service charge enquiries, according to the developer. Charges are part of the ongoing cost of ownership and can differ with a home's arrangements. The relevant statement for the particular property is more useful than a general island estimate.
