Dubai's luxury real estate market continues to show record activity. Recently a villa on World Islands was sold for 220 million dirhams, becoming one of the largest deals in the emirate's coastal real estate market.

Where is the property

The sold villa is located on Amali Island — one of the premium projects in The World Islands archipelago. The area is aimed at buyers looking for private waterfront residences with a high level of exclusivity.

The size of the villa is about 58,000 square feet, and the average deal value reached AED 3,787 per square foot.

Why is the demand for ultra-luxury growing

The main factors of market growth are:

• the influx of international investors;
• the UAE's attractive tax system;
• a high level of safety and quality of life;
• limited offer of waterfront facilities.
