What the Transaction Says About the Market
Ali Sajwani said Dubai has firmly established itself as the world's leading city for ultra-luxury properties valued above $10 million.
He said Villa Avatea's sale is further evidence of that position.
Amira Sajwani added that the transaction is about more than its monetary value. She said it reflects confidence in Dubai's ultra-luxury market and the enduring appeal of exceptional properties backed by quality, vision and meticulous execution.
Dubai's ultra-luxury segment has seen a consistent run of record transactions across 2025 and 2026. Private island product remains among the scarcest in the market.
Amali Island's 24-villa count means there is a hard ceiling on supply. That scarcity is part of what makes transactions at this level possible.
For buyers willing to pay at the top of the market, the combination of absolute privacy, direct water access and proximity to central Dubai is a proposition that no other address in the UAE can currently replicate.
