Rixos Dubai Islands Hotel & Residences

Rixos Dubai Islands Hotel & Residences is a branded luxury waterfront development by Nakheel located on Dubai Islands. It offers 1–3BR apartments, 4BR duplexes, 2–3BR beach houses, and standalone villas ranging from 998 to 11,507 sq ft. The project combines private residences with full Rixos hotel services and resort-style amenities.

The developer is Nakheel, one of Dubai's most established master developers, responsible for iconic projects including Palm Jumeirah and the broader Dubai Islands masterplan. Nakheel is handling the residential, retail, hospitality, and leisure components of Dubai Islands, giving this project strong infrastructure backing.

The development offers 1–3BR apartments, 4BR duplexes with private terraces, 2–3BR beach houses with private gardens, and a limited number of standalone villas with direct beach access. Total sizes range from 998 sq ft for a one-bedroom apartment up to 11,507 sq ft for the largest villa units.

Prices start from AED 2,600,000, which corresponds to the entry-level 1BR apartments. Beach houses, duplexes, and villas are priced higher depending on size, floor, and view orientation. The 80/20 payment plan means 80% is paid during construction and the remaining 20% is due on handover.

Rixos Dubai Islands Hotel & Residences offers an 80/20 payment plan — buyers pay 80% across construction milestones and 20% upon completion. The project is scheduled for handover in Q4 2026. Phase two of the development was announced in November 2023, giving investors additional entry points.

Residents have access to an adults-and-children infinity pool set in a communal garden, a fully equipped gymnasium, a treatment room, a screening room, a game room, a residents' lounge, a lobby café, and a children's play area. Rixos-branded à la carte services include residence catering, personal training, housekeeping, florist services, dog walking, and personal shopping.

The project sits on Dubai Islands, formerly Deira Islands, off the northern Dubai coastline. It is approximately 15 minutes by car from Deira, 20 minutes from Dubai International Airport, and 25 minutes from Downtown Dubai. The surrounding Dubai Islands masterplan includes white-sand beaches, a marina village, a wellness spa, and fitness and yoga retreats.

Rixos-branded residences historically command premium rental rates, particularly in beachfront locations, making them attractive for short-term holiday rental strategies. Dubai Islands is a government-backed masterplan by Nakheel with significant infrastructure investment, which supports long-term capital appreciation. An 80/20 payment plan with Q4 2026 handover allows investors to limit near-term cash outlay while securing a brand-affiliated asset.
