Dubai has built a name for itself as one of the most luxurious places in the world to live. From sleek sports cars to lavish gold-encrusted toilets and beyond, the Emiratis know how to live life to the fullest. Everything is done to the absolute maximum in Dubai – including the not-so-humble abodes of the country’s elite.
Whether they’re located miles out to sea on a giant man-made island or high above the city with views of one of the most incredible skylines in the world, there are multi-million villas, penthouses, and condos everywhere in Dubai. Here’s a look at some of those elaborately designed exquisite properties that have it all, except, in some cases, land access for the FedEx delivery person.
1. Floating Seahorse Villa
Year Built: 2020
Estimated Market Value: $3 Million*
Architect: Kleindienst Group
The underwater section of the floating seahorse villas is composed of a reinforced concrete box with windows on either side that provide full views of the underwater world around the semi-aquatic home. In this lower level, there are two bedrooms (each with its own en suite). The water level section has a complete kitchen that can be concealed with fold-out panels, a dining area, and a washroom facility.
A jacuzzi and large terrace await the seahorse’s residents on the floating home’s upper level, but that’s not all. With one of these villas, noisy neighbors will quickly become a thing of the past — traded in for the soothing sounds of the waves crashing against the front patio.
2. New Living on Water
Year Built: 2017I -2018
Estimated Market Value: Unknown
Architect: Unknown
These stunning homes were brought to Dubai by a Dutch company aptly named New Living on Water (NLW). Their first project in the Middle East, they expect to bring in about $150 million total from home sales alone.
NLW aimed to create homes that were both environmentally friendly and beautiful, with an emphasis on privacy for their inhabitants, despite being in a large city. The market for these might be narrow, but a lucky few million- and billionaires will no doubt snatch these homes off the market in no time.
3. Duplex, Six Senses Residences
Year Built: Unknown
Estimated Market Value: $7.7 Million*
Architect: Select Group
If you’re living in Dubai and have been successful enough in life to reside in one of Dubai’s fabulous neighborhoods, the Six Senses Residences on the world-famous Palm Jumeirah is not a bad place to start. This Sky Villa is a duplex with a built-up area that covers 6,196-square-feet and has almost everything you’d ever need.
4. Emirates Hills Supermansion
Year Built: N/A
Estimated Market Value: $25.5 Million*
Architect: B8 Architecture and Design Studio
This 43,000-square-foot ‘super mansion’ is one of the largest such properties in Emirates Hills. Designed with seven bedrooms and an open-plan entrance area with double-height ceilings, the $25.5 million estate is definitely for those who don’t just enjoy the lap of luxury but would settle for nothing less.
Its conceptual design shows a masterful rooftop with an end-to-end patio and an infinity pool in the center. The mansion’s enclosed front courtyard will be wonderfully landscaped and fitted with fountains that line the driveway where an assortment of Bugattis, Ferraris, and other high-end luxury vehicles will most likely be kept.
5. Penthouse, Dubai Canal
Year Built: 2021-2023
Estimated Market Value: $23.4 Million*
Architect: Arquitectonica and Meyer Davis Studio
With the help of the brilliant Italian designer brothers Ignazio and Maggio Cipriani, architect firms Arquitectonica and Meyer Davis Studio have collaborated to design a paradise oasis on the Dubai Canal — the Mr. C Residences. One of the prize picks of the residences is a 15,220-square-foot five-bedroom, six-bathroom penthouse apartment with world-class views of the Arabian Gulf.
Included in the many amenities that this 15,220-square-foot flat will offer is a formal dining room — that will seat ten comfortably and a rooftop terrace with a seating area and a swimming pool. The 6-bedroom penthouse will even have a private elevator that’s only accessible by the owner (and security, of course).
6. Sky Mansion, Ritz Carlton Residences
Year Built: 2020-2025
Estimated Market Value: $46.5 Million
Architect: Amar Sabeh
Found within Dubai’s Creekside neighborhood, in the Ritz Carlton Residences, this Sky Mansion is like something out of a fairytale. Its 42,332-square-foot plot consists of only built-up area — meaning not an inch of space has been wasted. Whether you have a large family or just lots of friends, this 8-bedroom giant has enough room for all.
Depending on the time of year, residents of the Ritz Carlton’s Sky Mansion will be able to spot several exotic birds in the nearby Ras Al Khor nature reserve — which can be seen from one of the mansions encompassing floor-to-ceiling windows.
7. Frond N, Palm Jumeirah
Year Built: Unknown
Estimated Market Value: $22 Million*
Architect: Unknown
This $22 million mansion can be found on Frond N as part of The Palm Jumeirah’s exclusive gated community, Signature Villas estates. The villa’s open-plan main foyer has extra high ceilings that are accentuated by the glorious crystalline chandelier that hovers above. However, the property’s true beauty won’t be seen until you’ve explored further.
There are six bedrooms and an astonishing thirteen washrooms within the walls of this 13,578-square-foot ultra-modern villa. Unique to this Frond N masterpiece is a rooftop gym with encompassing glass walls that provide dreamlike views of one of the most beautiful places on Earth.
8. The Volante
Year Built: 2017
Estimated Market Value: $10.3 Million*
Architect: The Fraser Nag Partnership
Located on the shores of the Dubai Canal, Volante has a clear view of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, and most of Dubai’s incredible modern downtown skyline. The building features 45 exclusive residences, including this 5-bedroom, 6-full bathroom, and 10,788-square-foot full-floor suite.
Residents of the Volante have full access to the complex’s spa and fitness center. However, it’s doubtful that there will be much time for those things while entertaining guests in the beautifully built infinity pool or singing songs and roasting marshmallows by the dancing flames of the sunken fire pit outback.
9. Cavalli Tower, Dubai Marina
Year Built: Estimated Finish Date of 2025
Estimated Market Value: $7.1 Million*
Architect: DAMAC
The Cavalli Tower project at the Dubai Marina was launched in 2018 and will have 485 units over seventy floors. When it’s completed in 2025, the Cavalli Tower will be near the top of the list of DAMAC Properties’ largest and most daring undertaking to date.
Several villas will be on the tower’s upper floors, just like this 6,501-square-foot paradise pad in the sky. The 5-bed, 6-bath penthouse is close enough to the downtown promenade that everything you need should be within walking distance. The Cavalli Tower will have an in-house fitness center and spa, a 24-hour concierge, and a resort-style pool bar.
10. World Trade Centre Residence
Year Built: 2005-2008
Estimated Market Value: Price On Application
Architect: Hazel W.S. Wong
Located next to Dubai’s World Trade Centre, just a few miles from the northern shores of Downtown Dubai are the World Trade Centre Residences. The residences have several massive penthouse apartments, including this next one that covers over 15,000-square-feet of the tower’s upper floors.
The 16.5-foot ceilings of the entertainment and living areas give the abode a royal feel. However, a few minutes of staring off into the horizon from one of the duplex penthouse’s two terraces should do the trick when trying to remain humble.
11. Mediterranean Villa
Year Built: 2019
Estimated Market Value: $27.23 Million*
Architect: Callison RTKL
Much like Hollywood Hills in Los Angeles, the Dubai Hills Estate, one of the wealthiest communities in Dubai, is located on the ‘outskirts’ of the city. The neighborhood is often referred to as “millionaire’s row,” and after a brief tour, the nickname will become quite clear.
This 6-bed, 7-bath Mediterranean-style Villa in Dubai Hills Estate is one of several dream mansions in the hills. The 27,800-square-foot villa has marble flooring in all the main rooms and tons of amenities to entertain even the ficklest of guests, including a movie lounge, spa, and a huge outdoor entertainment area.

The penthouse that takes up the 37th, 38th, and 39th floors of Omniyat’s The Residences, Dorchester Collection in downtown Dubai sits perched on the banks of the Dubai Canal with transcendent views of the Burj Khalifa and the rest of the dreamlike downtown Dubai skyline. The “super triplex” has 26-foot high ceilings that make it appear even larger than it already is.
Although the triplex’s interior is yet to be built, we know that the buyer who purchased the shell of this $20.4 million palace in the sky is the owner of 17,712-square-feet of prized Dubai real estate. They will also have an outrageously large outdoor area with a rooftop pool.
13. Jumeirah 3, Jumeirah
Year Built: 2015
Estimated Market Value: $17.2 Million*
Architect: Unknown
If privacy has been an issue in the past, you can forget about those troubles. This Jumeirah 3 villa has twelve-foot-high walls to help ensure your private life remains that way. Once inside the mansion, it will be tough to get you to leave. The 15,000-square-foot open-plan layout has almost everything one could need.
The design of the villa’s two-kitchen setup and stunning dining room is accentuated by its elegantly laid-out marble floors and an incredible central courtyard. Inside this mansion, there are 6-bedrooms and 7-bathrooms. Not to mention an indoor theater and fitness center.
14. Majestic Vistas, Dubai Hills Estate
Year Built: 2021-2022
Estimated Market Value: $9.5 Million*
Architect: Emaar
Located within Mohammed bin Rashid City’s upper-class Dubai Hills Estates, this 13,336-square-foot villa is part of Emaar’s Majestic Vistas Villas project. The 6-bedroom mansions of the estates have been gracefully designed to optimize all possible natural light.
The floor-to-ceiling glass windows surrounding the dining and living spaces really brighten up the place, and if you’re a golf fan, you’ll love this. They’re situated right on the iconic championship Dubai Hills Golf Course and have views of the links that will make watching golf on ESPN a thing of the past.
15. Al Barari Villa
Year Built: Unknown
Estimated Market Value: Unknown
Architect: Frederico Spagnulo
Designed by the famous Italian architect Frederico Spagnulo, the Al Barari Villa (or Villa Blackrock) has seven large bedrooms and twice that number of washrooms. This exquisite mansion is a one-of-a-kind sophisticated abode with Swedish wood flooring, Italian marble tiling, and a masterful spiral staircase that commands the focus of the room.
Villa Blackrock has a private movie theater, 12-seat dining area, spa, fitness center, personal library, steam room, sauna, and even an ice pool that’s kept at 10° F — and that’s not even all there is in this 4-floor, 18,468-square-foot mansion. It also has an outdoor pool to cool off in during those hot Emirati summer days.
16. Six Senses Residences, Palm Jumeirah
Year Built: 2020-Present
Estimated Market Value: $22.2 Million*
Architect: Select Group
The Six Senses Residences on Dubai’s exquisite Palm Jumeirah is made up of 162 private residences, nine of which are beautifully designed beachfront villas that would be perfect for anyone who enjoys living in the lap of luxury. Whether you’re a fan of water sports or relaxing at home, these villas have it all.
Their built-up area is approximately 26,514-square-feet and consists of 5-bedrooms (with ensuite) that have incredible nightly views of Dubai’s unbelievable sunset.

17. Eco-Friendly Floating Mansion
Year Built: 2023
Estimated Market Value: $5.4 Million*
Architect: Unknown
A few years back, Swiss hotelier Kempinski began the first phase of a massive project — a 156-room floating palace resort. The floating structure will be surrounded by twelve private villas, or ‘ luxury houseboats,’ as Kempinski refers to them.
The roofs of the Neptune villas are lined with solar panels — making these floating homes eco-friendly and energy-efficient. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide for beautiful views of the sunset from the sea, especially when the villas are detached from the dock and set sail toward the horizon at a cruising speed of 6 nautical miles. The Neptune villas are not just rentals; they’re also for sale. And all for the comparatively reasonable price of approximately $5.4 million.
18. Bugatti-Inspired Villa
Year Built: 2015
Estimated Market Value: $10 Million*
Architect: Unknown
These homes are perfect for fans of the world’s fasted street-legal automobile, the Bugatti Veyron. Designed to look like Bugattis, these limited-edition homes are named Ettore 791–a clever nod to both Ettore Bugatti and the country’s calling code.
The homes come outfitted with glass garages to show off their cars, along with seven bedrooms, and floor to ceiling windows with golf course views. Prices start at a whopping $10 million, but it appears that the sky is the limit.

A 4K Dolby Atmosphere cinema system has been built right into the penthouse’s walls, providing optimum sound for whatever you choose to listen to. The fabulous panoramic views of the Dubai Marina that look out toward the Palm Jumeirah and the rest of the Dubai beachfront will have you Tweeting none stop about how great your flat is.
20. Mansion, Jumeirah Bay Island
Year Built: 2017
Estimated Market Value: Price On Application
Architect: Hannes Werner with Wolfgang Regner / Aleksandra Spijunovic
Jumeirah Bay is well known for its larger-than-life mansions and extravagant lifestyle. However, if you’re hoping to find the top-tier properties that this neighborhood has to offer, the seahorse-shaped island just off the coast of the mainland is where the attention should be focused.
At least that’s where this 64,583-square-foot mega-mansion villa can be found. This enormous house has more than enough bedrooms for all of one’s out-of-town guests (each with its own washroom) and a one-of-a-kind upper-level infinity pool with a full view of the bay.
21. The 118 Penthouse
Year Built: 2018
Estimated Market Value: $13.4 Million
Architect: Archgroup Consultants
With views of the world’s tallest building, The Burj Khalifa, and its surrounding park and fountain, the 28th penthouse on the 28th-floor of 118 Downtown is a 6,650-square-foot work of art. The apartment’s extra-high ceilings provide for a homely atmosphere, and its 4-bedroom design means that there shouldn’t be a problem finding space for visitors.
As made evident by the extra room in the penthouse, the one that’s been designated for a private driver, it’s expected that whoever lives here probably won’t be doing much of their own driving or cooking. The penthouse’s kitchen was designed by SieMatic and will be a great workspace for most personal chefs.
22. Pearl Jumeirah, Jumeirah
Year Built: Unknown
Estimated Market Value: $15 Million*
Architect: Unknown
Located just off the coast of Dubai’s central business district, the Palm Jumeirah houses a handful of the city’s most beautifully designed villas.

The building’s facade was designed to depict each of the world’s gems via LED lighting, adding breathtaking decadence to an already gorgeous structure. Residents of the Pearl Jumeirah keep their gold , Porches, and Mercedes safely stored away behind thick transparent garage doors. Why transparent? Why not?
23. Triplex Penthouse In The Atlantis Royal
Year Built: 2021-2022
Estimated Market Value: $49 Million*

In the middle of the crescent that encircles the main palm of the exquisite man-made Palm Jumeirah is the site of the Royal Atlantis luxury hotel and resort and its accompanying Royal Atlantis Residences. Taking up the 35th-37th floors of the complex is a triplex unlike anything you’d find anywhere else.
The 25,000-square-foot Atlantis triplex is listed at $49 million, which was Dubai’s most expensive condo as of the end of 2021. As of now, there are no plans for the design of the penthouse’s interior. That will be left to the property’s buyer, who will most likely be the CEO of a Google-like company, of course.
24. XXII Carat, Palm Jumeirah
Year Built: 2016-2017
Estimated Market Value: $23 Million*
Architect: Chattels & More
The XXII is another of the beachside properties of The Palm Jumeirah. However, unlike some of the other mansions, this one isn’t located on the main trunk or any of The Palm’s fronds. It can be found right down at the end of the outer crescent with one of the most beautiful views around.
$23 million isn’t just going to get you nice views. The XXII Carat also has 5-bedrooms (each with an ensuite), a spacious library, and a classy high-ceilinged living room with an imperial staircase that leads upstairs. And what’s up there? The private terrace and rooftop swimming pool, of course.

Long story short, the designers did not skimp on anything.
Due to the villa’s floor-to-ceiling windows, those who reside here will never be for want of a stunning view — which, thanks to its location at the end of Frond M, this mansion’s is second-to-none.

Walking through the Imperial Mansion means walking on polished marble floors through rooms that are lit by unbelievable crystal chandeliers. Suppose we’re going to talk about luxury. In that case, we can’t omit the mansion’s elevator that services all of the property’s floors, including the basement, which houses the mansion’s private spa and personal fitness center.

This villa, in particular, is a 7,169-square-foot villa with four-room and four bathrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with a walk-in closet, and the washrooms are marble-finished, not gold as one would expect in Dubai. Trying to find a place to park your yacht? Look no further than the mansion’s yard, which backs onto the beachfront and marina.

Year Built: 2019
Estimated Market Value: $9.5 Million*
Architect: Adrian Smith of Skidmore Owings & Merrill
They might sit in the shadows of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, but The Address Sky View Towers should not be taken lightly. Within its walls are a few of Dubai’s pristine condos, including the one that takes up the Towers’ top two floors.
The interior area of The Address Sky View Towers’ top-floor duplex is 8,357-square-feet. That includes five bedrooms, five bathrooms, and a showcase high-ceilinged living room that exits onto the $9.5 million property’s enormous 1,100-square-foot terrace.

Inspired by the ancient architects who designed Athen’s awe-inspiring Parthenon, this 34,869-square-foot modern work of architectural art sits on a 78,100-square-foot plot of land in the Umm Al Sheif District of Dubai. The villa boasts six ensuite-accompanied bedrooms and an extra three bathrooms for guests.
The entrance has a grand staircase that exudes sophistication.

Year Built: 2019-2021
Estimated Market Value: $12 Million*
Architect: Unknown
Once you enter the Palm Jumeirah’s property, the first frond on the left is Frond P. Frond P might not be the furthest frond from the shore, nor the largest frond on The Palm, but it does have some incredible villas that cost millions of dollars.
This $12 million 8,000-square-foot villa is a prime example of what Frond P has to offer. It has 5-bedrooms, 6-bathrooms, and a wealth of other amenities, including a spacious study and Gaggenau kitchen. If the Signature Villa’s waterfront location isn’t enough to keep the kids busy, you can always hook their XBox up to the theatre system.

Architect: Omniyat
One Palm by Omniyat is a gorgeous beachside property that provides residents with unobstructed sea views from every apartment in the building, but that’s not all. One Palm has multiple swimming pools, a spa center, and a state-of-the-art gym on the premises.
4,355-square-feet is comparatively small for a multi-million-dollar apartment in Dubai. Still, with access to three private beaches and a spot on one of the city’s most sought-after properties, this 4-bedroom penthouse will be a fantastic investment for whoever scoops it up from AX Capital — and it’s only $10.6 million!
