Dubai Islands is an ambitious mixed-use waterfront development composed of five distinct islands, covering a total area of 17 square kilometers. The five islands—Marina Island, Central Island, Shore Island, Golf Island, and Elite Island—form a strategic and visionary project aligned with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, which outlines the city’s sustainable and forward-looking development goals over the next two decades.
Previously known as Deira Islands, the project was rebranded as Dubai Islands in August 2022 to better reflect its elevated positioning and global appeal.
