Bay Estate

Bay Estate is a master-planned residential community by Nakheel within Dubai Islands, bringing together family residences, landscaped neighborhoods and curated amenities in an exclusive island setting. The community comprises three residential collections: Verda, Cala and Agora, each designed around a different aspect of island living.

Launching at Verda, Bay Estate offers 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom townhouses, 4-bedroom attached villas and 4-bedroom garden villas, including a Plus attached villa configuration. Waterfront and beach villa plots are also included in the project's masterplan.

The published average price for a 3-bedroom townhouse is AED 5,900,000, and estimated construction completion for the townhouses and villas is January 2031. The community is planned around walkable streets, promenades, private lagoons, parks and shared amenities, with contemporary homes designed for family living.

Location: Dubai Islands

Bay Estate is located within Dubai Islands, Nakheel's coastal masterplan extending Dubai's shoreline across five distinct islands. The wider destination brings together beaches, marinas, resorts, recreation areas, landscaped parks and residential neighborhoods.

Within Bay Estate, three residential collections create distinct neighborhood settings. Verda focuses on greenery, parks, private gardens and tree-lined streets. Cala sits closest to the lagoons, promenades and coastline, with open views and shoreline access. Agora centers on shared amenities, gathering areas, clubhouses, wellness facilities and family-focused spaces.

Walkable streets and promenades connect the residential neighborhoods with parks, lagoons, the marina and shared spaces throughout the estate.

The townhouses are arranged in 4-plex and 6-plex configurations across two levels. Ground-floor living spaces open towards private outdoor areas, while the bedrooms occupy the upper level.

The 4-bedroom attached villas are available in two configurations. The standard G+1 villa provides spacious living areas, while the Plus G+2 configuration offers additional accommodation. The Plus layout adds a second floor with a multifunction room, pantry and supporting facilities.

The 4-bedroom garden villas feature expansive living and dining areas connected to private gardens, additional multipurpose rooms and large glazed openings. These residences are designed around the relationship between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Across the residences, interiors feature warm, neutral colors, tactile finishes, natural-looking materials and refined details. The material board presents finishes for general flooring, staircases, bathroom feature walls, joinery, shower partitions, bathroom vanity tops and kitchen countertops.

The published floor plans are indicative and subject to change. Swimming pools and landscape features shown in illustrations are not included and are the responsibility of the end user.

Community and amenities

Bay Estate is planned around outdoor recreation, wellbeing and social spaces, with facilities distributed throughout its landscaped neighborhoods.

The project includes two swimmable private lagoons, creating an inner shoreline surrounded by landscaping and sun decks. The beach club provides a private gym, swimming pool, dining facilities and a dedicated children's area.

Two pool clubhouses offer swimming pools, shaded lounges and spaces for neighborhood gatherings. Additional shared swimming pools are positioned within the residential neighborhoods.

Other facilities described in the brochure include an open-air yoga area at the center of a lagoon, multi-sport courts, children's play areas, fitness and café spaces, and a multipurpose room for private gatherings and community activities.

The masterplan also identifies a retail plaza, community mosque, promenade, marina, buffer park, lawns and open spaces, sports facilities and beach access.

Landscaped gardens, shaded walking routes and promenades connect the community's amenities. The marina provides access to the sea, while the promenade links homes with the beach and other key facilities.
