Why are Dubai’s prime waterfront villas seeing price surges of over 140%, and will this growth continue?

Industry experts say Dubai’s prime waterfront villas have sharply outperformed the wider property market due to extreme scarcity, strong end-user demand, and long-term ownership patterns. Over the past five years, prime waterfront villas — especially on Palm Jumeirah — have appreciated by more than 140%, with prices commanding premiums of 30–60% over comparable non-waterfront homes. Limited coastline availability, minimal resale supply, and sustained interest from high-net-worth buyers and relocating millionaires have reinforced long holding periods and reduced turnover. With most new housing supply concentrated in inland communities, analysts expect waterfront assets to continue commanding high premiums, supported by rental yields of around 5–8% and lifestyle-driven demand. What do you think — are Dubai’s waterfront prices still justified by scarcity and lifestyle appeal, or are they nearing a peak?
