Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has announced an exclusive partnership with six internationally and locally renowned architecture firms – WATG, SAOTA, Whitespace Architects, NAGA Architects, LOCI and LW Design Group – to bring to life ten distinct architectural styles for the bespoke villas in the Beach Collection at Palm Jebel Ali.

The Palm Jebel Ali spans seven islands and features 16 fronds. It is poised to become a new growth corridor in Dubai, in line with the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and the Dubai Economic Agenda D33. The development boasts over 90 kilometres of beachfront, with mixed-use pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods.

Inspired by the island’s unique fusion of oceanfront serenity, vibrant cityscape and natural landscape, these architects have meticulously crafted an exclusive collection of residences that celebrate the island’s natural beauty while seamlessly integrating indoor-outdoor living in a dynamic urban context. Each villa in the Beach Collection ranges from minimalist elegance to bold contemporary statements, ensuring that each villa is a sanctuary of tranquillity and exclusivity. Natural light, scenic vistas, and innovative design converge to elevate luxury living in one of Dubai’s most anticipated waterfront developments.

Situated in prime beachfront locations, the five- and six-bedroom villas in the Beach Collection range from 680 to 790 square metres, offering unparalleled privacy and exclusivity. Each residence features a distinct and contemporary façade designed to complement the coastal setting. Grand entryways with double-height volumes open into expansive living spaces, where floor-to-ceiling windows showcase breathtaking views of the Arabian Gulf.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, commented: “With its breathtaking oceanfront views and ambitious vision, Palm Jebel Ali has inspired some of the world’s leading architectural minds to design bespoke masterpieces for The Beach Collection. These unique villas embody luxury, sophisticated design and a seamless connection with nature, a testament to the success of our collaboration, showcasing the individual brilliance of each architect while capturing the essence of this extraordinary destination. This collaboration brings to life our vision for exceptional homes that cater to inspired tastes and lifestyles.”

The US-based global design firm WATG’s Baia Luna and Crystal Springs villas embody three distinctive design philosophies. The ‘Minimal’ style focuses on purity of form and simplicity, with clean lines and open spaces. The ‘Elegant’ approach balances classic beauty with modernity, while the ‘Dynamic’ concept introduces fluid architectural lines and daring structural expressions. These five-bedroom residences, set within the family-friendly fronds, redefine contemporary luxury.

South African firm SAOTA has designed the Ocean Whisper and Bluejay villas, inspired by Palm Jebel Ali’s location at the intersection of ocean, city and desert. These residences feature soft, undulating curves mimicking the movement of waves, a material palette of light plasters and warm metals, and a sleek, contemporary design that resonates with Dubai’s modern landscape.
