Amali Island: Private Villas on The World Islands, Dubai
Amali Island is a villa-only development by Amali Properties on The World Islands, the man-made archipelago positioned roughly three kilometres off the Dubai coastline. The project delivers 5-, 6-, and 8-bedroom villas ranging from 12,690 to 22,470 square feet. Construction started in July 2024, with handover scheduled for March 2027.
Life on The World Islands
The World Islands sit in open water off Dubai's coast. There are no road connections to the mainland. Getting anywhere beyond the island means a water transfer, and that single fact defines what daily life here looks like.
For most buyers, that constraint is the appeal. The island setting provides physical separation and waterfront privacy at a scale that no mainland Dubai address can offer. You are not in a tower with hundreds of other residents. You are not commuting by car. The on-site restaurants, retail, gym, and beach access reduce the frequency of off-island trips for routine needs. Residents here have made a deliberate trade: urban accessibility for waterfront seclusion.
Reaching Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina from The World Islands is a boat trip, not a short drive. That distance is exactly what attracts buyers at this price level.
Getting In for 10%
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 50% |
| Handover | 40% |
On the five-bedroom priced from AED 44,750,000, the booking deposit is roughly AED 4.5 million. The bulk of the capital comes later. The construction tranche of 50% and the 40% at handover are the two major commitments. The 40% handover installment is the largest single payment: AED 17.9 million for the five-bedroom, AED 44.8 million for the eight-bedroom.
A 10% booking requirement means buyers secure a unit without committing the majority of the purchase price at signing.
What AED 44.75M to AED 112M Buys
Every unit is a villa. The spread from AED 44.75 million to AED 112 million is driven entirely by size. There is no mixing of product types.
| Configuration | Floor Area | Starting Price |
|---|---|---|
| 5-bedroom | 12,690 sq ft | AED 44,750,000 |
| 6-bedroom | 16,620 sq ft | AED 63,000,000 |
| 8-bedroom | 22,470 sq ft | AED 112,000,000 |
The five-bedroom at just under 13,000 square feet is large-format. The eight-bedroom at over 22,000 square feet is estate-scale. Both ends of the range sit on the same island and share the same location proposition. The buyer at AED 44.75M is not accessing a different product or a lesser version of the island. They are choosing a smaller footprint.
The jump from six-bedroom to eight-bedroom adds roughly 5,850 square feet and AED 49 million to the price. The eight-bedroom is priced at a higher per-square-foot rate than the five-bedroom. At AED 112 million, that unit sits in its own category, independent of the other two configurations.
Amenities
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Jacuzzi & Steam, Gymnasium |
| Dining & Retail | Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
| Outdoor & Water | Beach Access, Shared Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Home | Balcony |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Ten amenities across six categories. The beach access, restaurants, and retail cover the routine needs that would otherwise require a boat trip off the island. Residents can manage dining, wellness, and outdoor leisure without leaving. The children's play area indicates the developer is targeting owner-residents with families rather than pure investor buyers. The jacuzzi, steam room, and gymnasium provide a wellness offer that matches the scale of the villas.
Completing in Q1 2027
Construction began in July 2024 and has been underway for approximately 22 months. Handover is expected March 31, 2027, roughly 10 months away. Buyers entering now are close to the end of the construction period rather than the start of it.
The 50% construction tranche will run across the remaining window. The 40% at handover settles in Q1 2027. Late-stage buyers face a more compressed payment timeline than those who entered at launch.
