Jumeirah Bay Island
About Jumeirah Bay Island
A private man-made island off Jumeirah 2, Jumeirah Bay Island is home to Bulgari Resort and a cluster of ultra-high-end villas and apartments with direct sea frontage.
Jumeirah Bay Island is a butterfly-shaped man-made island connected to the Jumeirah 2 coastline by a single-access bridge. It hosts the Bulgari Resort & Residences and is one of Dubai's most exclusive low-density addresses.
Location & connectivity
The island is accessed via a dedicated bridge off Jumeirah Bay Road, connecting to Jumeirah 2 and the broader Jumeirah coastal strip. DIFC is roughly a 15-min drive; Downtown Dubai is around 20 minutes. There is no metro connection — private vehicle or hotel shuttle is the practical way in and out.
Property mix
The island's residential offering is intentionally limited, keeping density extremely low:
- •Villas: Bulgari Villas (branded, beachfront plots along the island perimeter)
- •Apartments: Bulgari Apartments (within the Bulgari Resort complex)
- •Mansions: A small number of independent seafront mansions on private plots
Schools
No schools are located on the island itself. Nearby options on the mainland include:
- •Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) — Jumeirah, ~10-min drive, British curriculum
- •Dubai College — Al Manara, ~10-min drive, British curriculum
- •Kings' School Dubai — Umm Suqeim, ~15-min drive, British curriculum
Healthcare
No medical facilities are on the island. Nearest options:
- •Medcare Hospital Al Safa — ~10-min drive
- •American Hospital Dubai — Oud Metha, ~20-min drive
- •King's College Hospital Dubai — Dubai Hills, ~20-min drive
Shopping & dining
Day-to-day retail requires a short drive to the Jumeirah or Al Wasl corridor, where Waitrose (Village Mall, Jumeirah) and Spinneys branches serve the area. The Bulgari Resort's La Spiaggia and Il Ristorante – Niko Romito are the primary dining destinations on the island itself. City Walk and Box Park are both within a 15-min drive for broader dining and retail.
Parks & leisure
The island's private beach access and marina are the main leisure draws for residents. Safa Park, one of Dubai's largest green spaces, is a 10-min drive. The broader Jumeirah Beach strip and Kite Beach are within 15 minutes by car.

Things to consider
Single-access bridge means the island is tranquil but can feel isolated — not ideal for buyers who want walkable urban energy. Price points are among the highest in Dubai on a per-square-foot basis, and resale liquidity is limited given the small number of units in the market at any given time.
