Dubai’s real estate market has witnessed another high-value transaction, with a luxury villa in the World Islands selling for AED 220 million. The deal is the latest sign of the strong demand for premium properties across the emirate.

Data from the Dubai REST app, operated by the Dubai Land Department, shows that the villa spans about 58,080 square feet, which is approximately 5,395 square meters. The sale reflects an average price of around AED 3,787 per square foot.

The villa is located within the Amali Island project in the World Islands area, one of Dubai’s distinctive developments known for its exclusive island lifestyle. Projects in this area have increasingly attracted high-net-worth buyers seeking privacy, waterfront living, and unique luxury residences.
