## 8 Most Expensive Neighbourhoods in Dubai

This guide highlights the crème de la crème of prestigious neighbourhoods, showcasing the most expensive areas in Dubai to own properties.

 

 

 

### 1. Jumeirah Bay Island

This titanic seahorse-shaped island is home to some of Dubai’s most affluent and wealthy residents and is one of the most expensive areas in Dubai. [Jumeirah Bay Island](https://sothebysrealty.ae/buy/dubai/villas-for-sale-jumeirah-jumeirah-bay-island/) has the highest density of billionaires per square metre in the UAE and is accessible only through a 300-meter bridge exclusively available to residents and guests. Its prime beachfront real estate commands a staggering price per square foot, surpassing Palm Jumeirah, and most other [waterfront communities in Dubai](https://sothebysrealty.ae/the-journal/waterfront-communities-in-dubai/). Homes on the island are limited with only 128 plots for building [beachfront villas](https://sothebysrealty.ae/buy/dubai/villas-for-sale-jumeirah-jumeirah-bay-island/) and mansions, making it almost 60 times more exclusive than Palm Jumeirah. It is home to the only Bulgari-branded hotel and residences in the MENA region and the world's only Bulgari-branded marina.
