One Villa, One Price: AED 100 Million on Palm Jumeirah's Crescent
Amali Properties built Villa Amaya on the outer arc of Palm Jumeirah, in the section known as The Crescent. This is not a collection of units or a phased development. It is a single standalone villa with one asking price. That clarity defines the buyer this property was built for.
Living on the Outer Crescent
The Crescent runs along the outermost edge of Palm Jumeirah, facing the open Arabian Gulf. It differs from the Palm's inner fronds, where villas line shared community roads and sit in closer proximity to each other. The Crescent has fewer residential addresses and sits further from the Palm's main gateway, giving it a lower-traffic and quieter residential character.
A Gulf-facing position on The Crescent means the water view opens toward the open sea rather than the Palm's internal waterways or neighboring villas. That distinction matters for buyers comparing Crescent addresses against the fronds.
Practically, the distances are real. Dubai Marina is roughly 20 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and the Airport each sit around 30 minutes out, depending on conditions at the Palm gateway. Residents here accept the location's remove as the price of direct seafront exposure and low-density surroundings. The trade-off between accessibility and exclusivity is built into what The Crescent is.
AED 100 Million: One Property, One Buyer
There is no price range at Villa Amaya. One property, one price: AED 100 million. This is a single-buyer transaction, not a multi-unit development where different configurations create different entry points.
There is no other unit type to compare against, no lower-specification option at an adjusted price, and no floor premium to consider. One format, one figure.
The buyer profile is narrow: a high-net-worth individual or family looking for a private, standalone villa on Palm Jumeirah. At AED 100 million, the evaluation moves away from price per square foot. The buyer is weighing the address, the format, and what the property delivers as a private residence.
What the Villa Offers
The property type is a villa. Seven amenities are included:
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Barbecue Area, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The private gym and indoor pool form the wellness core. The landscaped gardens suit a Crescent plot with Gulf-facing exposure well. A restaurants facility is included alongside the outdoor barbecue area, adding a dining dimension to the property's offering. CCTV security rounds out the list.
For a Gulf-facing villa, outdoor living is a core part of the proposition, and the garden and barbecue setup support that directly. For a family planning this as a primary residence, the combination of wellness facilities, outdoor space, dining access, and a children's play area covers most day-to-day lifestyle needs within the property. The overall package targets an owner-occupier rather than a buy-to-let or short-stay use case.
A Project That Has Likely Completed
Amali Properties broke ground in July 2024, targeting completion by January 2025. That date has now passed. The project sits approximately 17 months beyond its original completion target. Villa Amaya is likely already handed over. A buyer engaging today is looking at a completed asset rather than an off-plan commitment, with the development-phase uncertainties of early-stage purchases now behind it.
Entering at 30%: The Capital Requirement
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 30% |
| During construction | 30% |
| On handover | 40% |
On a AED 100 million transaction:
- AED 30 million due on signing
- AED 30 million across the construction period
- AED 40 million at handover
The 30% down payment is a significant upfront commitment. The structure is front-loaded: two-thirds of the transaction value settles before handover. At this price, the original framework required AED 60 million before possession, with the final AED 40 million clearing at handover. With the project now past completion, the construction tranche reflects the original development timeline rather than a future milestone. There is no post-handover payment plan. The full transaction clears on or before handover.
