What sets the price

The water sets the price here, not the bedroom count

Three checks on our own list and on Aldar's price lists. Each shows a villa priced for where it stands, while one more bedroom moves the figure far less.

AED 4,000,000 for the waterway

Aldar lists a five bedroom at Yas Riva Reserve from AED 9,300,000 inland and AED 13,300,000 on the waterway, still to be released and on a smaller plot.

Same developer, same bedrooms, same launch

Our two dearest name the beach

Nawayef West on Hudayriyat asks AED 22,000,000 and a beachfront villa on Ramhan AED 15,000,000. Our other ten ask AED 8,190,000 to 13,000,000.

Both are contracts sold on before handover

A sixth bedroom for less

At Al Naseem a six bedroom asks AED 10,500,000, below the AED 11,000,000 asked for a five bedroom at Saadiyat Lagoons.

Our four 4 bedroom villas sit within AED 60,000 of each other

Where the money goes

Luxury villas island by island

Four islands hold every villa we list above AED 7 million. Each row gives our count, the lowest price listed or at launch and, where a developer publishes sizes, what a square foot costs.

Hudayriyat Island

FromAED 8,190,0006 listed, all contracts

Al Naseem from AED 8,190,000, Nawayef West at AED 22,000,000. Wadeem Gardens: AED 1,858 a sq ft of home, five bedrooms.

Saadiyat Island

FromAED 8,200,0003 listed, all contracts

Our three sit at Saadiyat Lagoons. Talay launches from AED 13,500,000, and Aldar has published no sizes for it.

Yas Island

FromAED 7,900,0002 listed, 1 finished

Five bedrooms at Yas Riva Reserve: AED 1,793 a sq ft of home and 1,043 of plot inland, 2,238 and 1,541 on the waterway.

Ramhan Island

FromAED 13,500,0001 listed, a contract

Infinity Villas from AED 13,500,000 for three bedrooms in our catalogue. Our beachfront resale asks AED 15,000,000.

Rates divide a developer's starting price by its published average size. Our listings record house and plot inconsistently, so we do not divide their prices.

Finished or contract

A finished villa or a contract, above AED 7 million

At this level most villas change hands before they are built, so the real choice is an owner's house, a first buyer's contract or the next launch.

The cash you need

The cash a luxury villa needs on the day

Above AED 5 million the Central Bank raises the Down Payment, and while a villa is being built it caps any loan at half. DARI's 2% sits on top of every price here.

CostAmountNotes
DARI registration fee2% of the priceAll four islands sit outside ADGM, so the buyer pays it: AED 188,000 on an AED 9,400,000 villa.
Down Payment, finished villaAt least 30%Central Bank rule for an expatriate's first home. UAE nationals: 25%.
Down Payment, still being builtAt least 50%A bank may lend no more than half the value of an off plan villa, whoever the buyer is.

Cash on the day: finished villa or contract

A first home loan on the finished West Yas villa at AED 9,400,000 leaves AED 3,008,000 to pay: the 30% Down Payment, AED 2,820,000, and DARI's AED 188,000. Borrow on the Yas Riva contract at AED 10,900,000 and at least AED 5,450,000 stays yours until the keys.

Rules from the Central Bank's mortgage regulations, Article 3, and DARI's 2% fee, read on 28 September 2026. A bank may ask for more than the minimum.

Monthly repayments

Start with

HIDD Al Saadiyat, finished on the beach

SDIC's finished community keeps seven kilometres of private beachfront for residents, with a 175 berth marina. Four to seven bedrooms, from AED 8,500,000 in our catalogue, sold by owners.

See HIDD Al Saadiyat

Built on our list and the developers' releases of 28 September 2026, so a single sale can change the answer.

A starting point, not a reservation. Contracts and launches move quickly at this level, so ask what is still available before you book a viewing.

Who it suits

Four kinds of luxury villa buyer, and where each lands

The same budget leads to a different island depending on what the buyer puts first. Four common starting points, each matched to a villa or a launch on this page.

Keys this year

West Yas is the one finished villa we list above AED 7 million. HIDD Al Saadiyat is finished too, with its private beach, and sells only through owners.

1 finished villa among our 12

The beach above all

Nawayef West and the Ramhan beachfront villa top our list. For a launch, Talay Beach sits closer to the shore at Marsa Al Saadiyat, with keys in Q2 2031.

AED 22,000,000 and 15,000,000 on our list

A boat at the end of the garden

At Yas Riva Reserve, Aldar gives 45 waterway homes room for a pontoon. They are still to be released, from AED 13,300,000 for five bedrooms.

Aldar's release of 18 September 2026

The longest plan

Wadeem Gardens asks 25% before the keys and 75% in April 2031. Talay and Yas Riva Reserve split the price 50/50 between the build and handover.

A 5% Down Payment reserves at Wadeem Gardens

How to buy

Buying a villa above AED 7 million, in four steps

The order is the same for a contract, a launch or a finished house. Every fee and limit below is DARI's or the Central Bank's.

  1. Pick the setting first

    Beach, waterway or park: at this level the setting moves the price more than a bedroom does.

  2. Check the contract or the title

    On a contract, ask what the first buyer has paid, the next instalment and the handover date. On a finished villa, the title deed.

  3. Get a written pre approval

    Above AED 5 million the Down Payment starts at 30%, and at 50% while the villa is still being built.

  4. Register with DARI

    Pay the 2% fee. A finished villa is yours at transfer; a contract moves into your name until handover.
