Avatea Villas on Amali Island: Getting In for 5%
Amali Properties is developing Avatea Villas on Amali Island, part of The World Islands archipelago in the Arabian Gulf, off the Dubai coast. The project delivers a villa at a fixed price of AED 112,050,000. The payment plan opens with a 5% down payment, an unusually low entry threshold for a property at this price level.
A Location That Is Genuinely Distinct
Amali Island sits within The World Islands, a man-made offshore archipelago. The islands connect to the mainland only by water. There are no road links. Every trip off the island is by boat.
That isolation is the defining feature of this address. You are not in a gated community inside a larger Dubai district. You are physically separate from the mainland, on an island in the Gulf, with water on all sides. For a buyer who wants genuine privacy, separation from the city's density, and a living environment with no through-traffic and no shared perimeters, this address provides that in a way almost no Dubai location on the mainland can match.
The practical flip side is daily logistics. Every school run, every grocery trip, every commute to a Dubai office involves a water crossing. The address works for buyers whose daily routine does not demand constant mainland access. For buyers who need frictionless daily mobility, the island setting is a real constraint.
What AED 112 Million Buys Here
The asking price is AED 112,050,000, with both minimum and maximum sitting at the same figure. This is a single fixed price for a specific villa, not a range across unit tiers. The product comes with water views and a full amenity set on an island site.
The villa format fits the location. A standalone property brings every listed amenity, the pool, the gym, the gardens, to a private setting rather than a shared communal facility. That depth of privacy is consistent with the island address: the separation starts at the coastline and continues at the property level.
What the Amenities Signal
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium, Children's Play Area |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, View of Water |
| Practical | Basement Parking, Security |
Seven amenities cover recreation, outdoor living, and on-site logistics. The indoor swimming pool suits the island environment; an enclosed pool handles the salt-air marine conditions more effectively than an outdoor alternative. The children's play area positions this clearly as a primary residence or a long-stay family holding rather than an investment asset aimed at quick turnover. The security and basement parking address the practical realities of permanent island residency.
Getting In for 5%
The payment plan requires a 5% down payment: AED 5,602,500 to reserve on a AED 112,050,000 villa. After that, 55% is due during construction and 40% at handover.
| Milestone | Percentage | Amount (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Down payment | 5% | 5,602,500 |
| During construction | 55% | 61,627,500 |
| At handover | 40% | 44,820,000 |
A 5% entry on a AED 112 million asset is structurally low. The reservation outlay of AED 5.6 million secures a position on a villa priced at twenty times that amount. The heavier capital commitment, AED 61.6 million, falls during construction and must be funded ahead of handover. The plan ends at completion with no post-handover tranche, meaning the full purchase price is settled before keys are collected.
Completion in March 2027
Construction started on 3 August 2025. Expected handover is 1 March 2027, a build schedule of approximately 19 months. The project is now in active construction, with approximately 8 months remaining before the handover target. That March 2027 date defines the timeline for the remaining construction draw-downs and handover planning.
