The landmark sale sets the tone for what is projected to be a bullish year in the super-prime real estate market
East of Palm Jumeirah lays Dubai’s most coveted island address: Jumeirah Bay. With less than 130 villa plots, this man-made, seahorse-shaped island is one of the most exclusive in the UAE, attracting a highly discerning resident base. Indeed, this tight-knit enclave is reported to have the highest density of billionaires in Dubai, rightfully earning itself the moniker ‘billionaire’s island’.
In March, Dubai QIC International Realty broke all records on Jumeirah Bay with the sale of an incredible AED 330 million custom-built villa. Sold by Associate Directors Regan Faulker and Ioana Armeanu, this landmark sale surpasses the previous record – also set by Dubai QIC International Realty – by nearly AED 100 million.

Stretching 26,895 sq. ft., the home embraces its waterfront landscape with a private stretch of white-sand beach and a sublime private pool set in landscaped gardens. The villa is the only property on the island’s tip with direct, unobstructed views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline.
Regan Faulkner and Ioana Armeanu, who represented the seller, said the sale reflects a growing demand for bespoke, one-of-a-kind residences on Jumeirah Bay.
“This extraordinary home represents the height of exclusive beachfront living: flawless architecture, uncompromising craftsmanship, and a setting that is simply unmatched. Jumeirah Bay Island remains the most coveted address in Dubai, with just 128 plots on the island,” Regan commented.
Ioana Armeanu added, “The demand for bespoke, one-of-a-kind residences here has never been stronger, and this record-breaking sale on Jumeirah Bay Island is a testament to its enduring appeal. It was a privilege to represent such an incredible property and connect our client with the perfect buyer.”
As the de facto home of Bulgari, Jumeirah Bay Island is a place where everyday living is enriched by world-class amenities, from the Bulgari Marina & Yacht Club to the Bulgari Resort’s Michelin-starred dining and private members’ club. For those who call it home, life on the island is as much about the company it keeps as the lifestyle it affords—a discreet beachfront retreat with an undeniably powerful social scene.

What’s In A Price? A Rare, One-of-a-Kind Home
With its angular form, luminous glass walls, and soaring 13-metre ceilings, the villa is a masterclass in contemporary beachfront design. Within, its dramatic scale is matched by substance: Taj Mahal Quartzite, Patagonia marble, and walnut veneer, each curated for timeless quality. The setting is as rare as the residence itself. A testament to the power of an address, this record-breaking home is perched at the tip of the island on one of just three ELV plots.
