UAE: Top 6 property hotspots to invest in this summer

With the UAE temperature rising‭, ‬so is the appetite for investors looking for real estate hotspots‭. ‬The country's real estate market remains active all year‑round‭ ‬—‭ ‬with transactions reaching more than Dh239‭ ‬billion in the first three months of 2024‭ ‬alone‭, ‬and investors looking for projects‭ ‬that combine lifestyle‭, ‬location‭, ‬and financial upside‭. ‬Whitewill‭, ‬a luxury real estate agency‭, ‬shared with‭ ‬Khaleej Times‭ ‬a list of strategic locations that have long-term value‭, ‬vision‭, ‬and seasonal appeal‭ ‬—‭ ‬from branded beachfront escapes to smart city zones‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Al Marjan Island‭, ‬Ras Al Khaimah With more investors prioritising coastal living‭, ‬Al Marjan Island is experiencing a surge in demand‭, ‬especially with the upcoming Wynn Resort transforming the area into a hospitality hub‭. ‬It has direct beachfront access and the rare opportunity to own a branded residence beside a future integrated gaming and entertainment destination‭.‬ ‭ ‬Apartments begin at Dh585,000‭, ‬with ultra-luxury homes priced up to more than Dh30‭ ‬million‭. ‬Investors can expect between 8‭ ‬and‭ ‬9+‭ ‬per cent rental yields and more than 20‭ ‬per cent YoY‭ (‬year-on-year‭) ‬appreciation in some enclaves‭.‬ ‭ ‬It is good to note that Ras Al Khaimah International Airport recently announced significant expansion with a new 30,000‭ ‬sqm terminal to boost tourism as the emirate eyes three million travellers‭.‬ ‭ ‬The expansion of the RAK Airport is seen by industry leaders as big boost to the emirates'‭ ‬tourism‭, ‬especially those coming from India‭, ‬China and Western Europe‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Business Bay In a market where short-term rental returns drive demand‭, ‬Business Bay continues to attract buyers looking for income-generating‭ ‬assets in the city centre‭. ‬Its strongest draw is the fusion of location and luxury‭, ‬with proximity to DIFC‭ (‬Dubai International‭ ‬Financial Centre‭) ‬and Downtown Dubai‭, ‬with Dubai Canal weaving its way through‭.‬ ‭ ‬Studios and 1–2BR apartments average Dh1.4M‭, ‬delivering 6–7‭ ‬per cent yields and strong resale demand‭. ‬Among standout offerings is the Waldorf Astoria Residences‭ ‬—‭ ‬a branded address that blends high-end services with everyday practicality‭.‬ ‭ ‬The project‭ ‬'Gateway to Business Bay'‭ ‬was also recently announced‭, ‬adding another striking new landmark to Dubai when the project is completed in 2029‭. ‬The 48-storey‭ ‬Lumena Tower by Omniyat is a flagship commercial development strategically positioned on Sheikh Zayed Road‭, ‬at the intersection‭ ‬of Business Bay and Downtown Dubai‭. ‬It will have an open-air Sky Theatre‭, ‬a first-of-its-kind entertainment and event space located at the top of a commercial tower‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Dubai Creek Harbour Demand is consistently rising for communities that combine prestige‭, ‬proximity‭, ‬and waterfront serenity‭, ‬and Dubai Creek Harbour‭ ‬checks all those boxes‭. ‬The star feature here is its master-planned waterfront living‭, ‬enhanced by green spaces and direct views of the Dubai Creek Tower‭.‬ ‭ ‬Waterfront apartments start at Dh1.45‭ ‬million‭, ‬while luxury villas exceed Dh5‭ ‬million‭. ‬With rental yields of 6–6.8‭ ‬per cent and consistent appreciation‭, ‬the area balances luxury with long-term potential‭. ‬Dubai Creek Harbour is a favourite‭ ‬among buyers seeking a premium lifestyle with investment upside‭, ‬noted Whitewill‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Yas Island‭, ‬Abu Dhabi In the Capital‭, ‬investors are eyeing Yas Island for its unique blend of leisure‭, ‬family appeal‭, ‬and short-stay rental potential‭.‬‭ ‬The island's standout quality lies in its lifestyle proposition‭, ‬from theme parks and golf to marinas and cultural hotspots‭, ‬all within a well-planned residential setting‭.‬ ‭ ‬Villas average Dh4.5‭ ‬million‭, ‬with apartments priced between Dh1.2‭ ‬million and Dh3.8‭ ‬million‭. ‬There is also Waldorf Astoria Yas‭ ‬Island that offers waterfront premium hospitality brand‭, ‬making it an attractive asset for both use and investment‭.‬ ‭ ‬A big announcement early this year was made by Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi with the introduction of new attractions this summer‭, ‬including 12‭ ‬new rides and slides‭, ‬in addition to new dining offerings‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Dubai South Investors are increasingly drawn to Dubai South for its affordability and alignment with the UAE's infrastructure vision‭. ‬As a future-ready hub near the upcoming Al Maktoum International Airport expansion‭, ‬logistics hubs‭, ‬and‭ ‬the Expo 2020‭ ‬legacy infrastructure‭, ‬its core appeal lies in early-mover advantage and the opportunity to ride the wave of long‭-‬term growth‭.‬ ‭ ‬Whitewill noted there is a strong uptake in off-plan units starting at Dh800,000‭, ‬with a projected 15–25‭ ‬per cent value growth by 2030‭ ‬and rental returns of 6–8‭ ‬per cent‭.‬ ‭ ‬Industry experts earlier said‭, ‬property prices in Dubai South are forecast to increase by a further 15-20‭ ‬per cent in the near‭ ‬term‭, ‬as the Dh128‭ ‬billion‭ ($‬35‭ ‬billion‭) ‬expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai South is fuelling a major real estate boom in the area‭, ‬data shows‭. ‬According to data from Betterhomes‭, ‬property transactions in the area have already exceeded‭ ‬Dh15‭ ‬billion in the first five months of 2025‭.‬ The neighbouring Expo City‭, ‬meanwhile‭, ‬exemplifies the area's appeal with a wellness-first‭, ‬car-free community design in the city's innovation hub‭, ‬tailored for a new generation of buyers‭.‬ ‭ ‬ Jumeirah Village Circle‭ (‬JVC‭)‬ Known among residents as affordable‭, ‬accessible‭, ‬and increasingly design-driven‭, ‬JVC remains a go-to for buyers seeking strong yields without compromising on lifestyle‭. ‬The area's main pull is its ability to deliver rental income and resident satisfaction‭. ‬Road access has also recently significantly improved‭.‬ ‭ ‬Apartments start at Dh650,000‭ ‬and entry-level villas at Dh1.6‭ ‬million‭, ‬offering 7–8.6‭ ‬per cent yields‭. ‬The district's consistent rental demand makes it ideal for first-time investors‭.‬

AI, investment and energy discussed during UAE meeting at White House with Vice President JD Vance

UAE officials met US Vice President JD Vance at the White House on Friday to discuss AI, recent investment initiatives and increased energy co-operation. Dr Sultan Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and managing director and group chief executive of Adnoc, along with Yousef Al Otaiba, the UAE's ambassador to the US and Minister of State, took part in the meeting with the US Vice President. The discussions centred on the UAE's commitment to invest $1.4 trillion in the US for artificial intelligence infrastructure, semiconductors, energy and manufacturing. Earlier this week in Washington at the Atlantic Council's Global Energy Forum, Dr Al Jaber reflected on the unique opportunities unfolding for countries around the world – chiefly the burgeoning AI sector. In March, Mr Vance praised the UAE's focus on AI at the American Dynamism Summit. 'One of the things they [UAE] consistently hammer upon … is that if you want to lead in artificial intelligence, you have got to be leading in energy production,' he said. Over the past decade, the UAE − the Arab world's second largest economy − has been working to become an AI frontrunner as it diversifies its economy away from oil. The country's efforts have resulted in the establishment of start-ups as well as partnerships and investments with industry leaders like Microsoft, Nvidia and OpenAI. Through the creation of language models such as Falcon Arabic, the UAE has also sought to ensure aspects of Arabic culture are not left behind in the AI surge, with many large language models based on English-language data. In 2019, the UAE announced the establishment of a university dedicated to AI, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence. Several years before, the UAE was among the first in the world to appoint an AI Minister, Omar Al Olama.
