Summer — The Perfect Time to Invest in Dubai Real Estate

While others are waiting for the “hot” season, you can lock in the best deals right now. Here’s why:

✅ Lowest Prices of the Year
Summer is when you can secure the best price. By autumn, prices traditionally go up — especially for prime properties.

✅ Developer Bonuses
This is the season of perks: free furniture packages, only 10% down payment, 0% installment plans — offers you won’t see in the busy season.

✅ Wider Choice of Units
Right now, you have access to the most attractive options — the best floors, layouts, and views. By autumn, only the “leftovers” will remain.

✅ Guaranteed Income
Some projects offer guaranteed returns from the developer — up to 34% in 2 years — plus a buy-back option. These programs are limited in time and units available.

Summer isn’t just about sun and vacations — it’s also the smartest time to make your move in Dubai’s property market.

This Autumn, Prices Will Rise — and Some Properties Will Disappear from the Market

Summer is the perfect entry point for those who know how to calculate their moves. Right now, the market is offering projects with strong concepts, attractive launch prices, and real growth potential.

Below is our selection of projects from analysts Percent&CO that are worth exploring for investment today.

Hygge Hotel – The Heart of Europe

 

📍 The World Islands, Dubai

💰 From $331,055 (AED 1,215,973)
🗓️ Handover: Q2 2027
📈 Payment plan: 20/60/20
💵 Guaranteed ROI: 8.33% for 12 years

Why it stands out

Hygge Hotel is a unique hospitality project by Kleindienst Group, part of the ambitious The Heart of Europe resort on Dubai’s iconic World Islands. Scheduled to open in the first half of 2027, it embodies the Danish concept of “hygge” — comfort, coziness, and joy from life’s simple pleasures. Architecture and interiors are designed by HWKN Architecture DPC.

According to analysts at Percent&CO:

“The project is especially attractive for Western audiences as it offers a rare guaranteed income program in today’s market. Unlike previous Kleindienst projects — Marbella, Portofino, Côte d’Azur — Hygge comes with a lower entry point. Prices in Hygge and Artiste started from AED 1.2M, while others began at AED 2M+. Add to that a 12-year guaranteed ROI of 8.33%, and it’s hard to overlook.”

Investment advantages

• Guaranteed ROI: 8.33% annually for 12 years, contractually secured regardless of market conditions.

• Owner perks: 14 nights of free stay per year after completion.

• High-concept hospitality: A stylish, emotionally engaging project targeting investors who want both lifestyle and returns.

Location
Situated in The Heart of Europe, a cluster of themed islands within World Islands, the project recreates European regions with unique climate effects (rain, snow, canals) and a strong cultural and eco-friendly focus. Just 15 minutes from Dubai’s coastline, it’s a one-of-a-kind tourism and lifestyle destination.

For investors
Hygge Hotel stands apart from typical hotel developments by combining designer architecture, wellness-driven hospitality, a strong emotional brand, and long-term income security. This is both a lifestyle statement and a strategic real estate investment.

Talea by Beyond (Omniyat)

 

 📍 Dubai Maritime City

💰 From $599,000 (1BR)
🗓️ Handover: Q1 2029
📈 Payment plan: 10/40/50

Why it stands out

Talea by BEYOND is a 44-storey residential tower in Dubai Maritime City, designed in the style of a Balinese resort and surrounded by lush greenery. It’s the first project in the area to blend an “urban forest” concept with modern apartments, duplexes, and penthouses offering panoramic views of the bay.

The architecture is by La Casa, interiors by Bergman Design House (London), and landscaping by Desert Ink. The development features 354 residences — from 1–3 bedroom apartments to two-level layouts with 4 bedrooms, ranging from 70 m² to 415 m². All homes come in a light, natural colour palette, with spacious layouts, open kitchens, and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Amenities include:

• Panoramic pool overlooking the green landscape

• Stylish lounge areas and coworking spaces

• Two-level fitness centre

• Indoor and outdoor children’s play areas

• 24/7 concierge service

• Private bridges connecting the tower to the waterfront

Dubai Maritime City is a strategically located waterfront district between Port Rashid and Dubai’s business hub, just 10 minutes from Downtown. It enjoys free economic zone status, offering tax benefits and simplified ownership rules for foreign investors.

The area is rapidly developing, with new schools, medical centers, a marina, boutiques, and waterfront restaurants taking shape.

Demand for property in Dubai Maritime City is steadily rising: over the past year, prices have grown by 15–20%, while rental yields reach 5.3–7.8% annually. One-bedroom layouts and compact apartments remain especially popular among professionals in the maritime industry.

The developer offers a 50/50 payment plan with just 10% down payment. Handover is scheduled for Q1 2029.

“Talea is located in the heart of the master plan for Dubai Maritime City — one of the last remaining undeveloped waterfront locations. The developer works with contractors from Omniyat, known for ultra-luxury projects. Even without active marketing, the presale phase is nearly sold out — but Talea still offers opportunities to secure standout units.”

Aquamarine Beach Residences - Sobha

 

📍 Siniya Island 

💰 From $330,000
🗓️ Handover: Q2 2028
📈 Payment plan: 0% for 36 months

Why it’s interesting:

“With a $300,000 budget, I suggest several projects: Trussardi, Legado by Preskote, and Siniya Island by Sobha. Today, we focus on Aquamarine Beach Residences — a project in a promising location next to the first casino in the UAE. Entry from $330,000. 0% payment plan over 36 months. Price growth potential up to 100% by completion in Q2 2028. Rental income — from $39,600 per year (short-term). Ideal for short-term rentals. Liquid due to limited supply — resale will not be an issue. I’d get in before it goes mainstream.”

About the project:
Aquamarine Beach Residences is a premium beachfront development on Siniya Island by Sobha Realty. Located within walking distance of the UAE’s first integrated resort with a casino, it offers exceptional investment potential.
The residences feature spacious layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, direct sea views, and modern interiors in a luxury resort style. The community offers a private beach, infinity pools, restaurants, fitness facilities, waterfront promenades, and 24/7 services.

Investment highlights:

• Price growth potential up to +100% by handover

• Strong demand for short-term rentals

• Rental income from $39,600/year

• Limited supply in the location — high resale liquidity

 

Aquamarine Beach Residences are situated on Siniya Island — a natural island off the coast of Umm Al Quwain. The area is known for its stunning natural surroundings, including mangrove forests, white sandy beaches, and diverse wildlife.

The island is connected to the mainland by a 1.7 km bridge, ensuring convenient access. The drive is approximately 50 minutes to Dubai, 30 minutes to Sharjah, and just 10 minutes to Al Marjan Island
