Villas and townhouses among the mangroves, between Saadiyat and Yas, measured against every registered sale since 2023.
Villas and townhouses, priced by size.
Almost every home sold on Jubail is a villa or townhouse. Most were bought off-plan from LEAD Development; since the first phases were handed over, a growing share are resales of finished homes. Prices are on built-up area, by bedroom count. Plot sales are not included.

Source: XIS analysis of ADREC registered Jubail Island villa and townhouse sales, whole units, off-plan and resale, 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. Price per sq ft is on built-up area. Villas and townhouses are shown together because the registry records some townhouses as villas. Bedroom sizes and communities are shown when they have at least 20 and 10 sales; communities are named as the registry records them. Sales with no recorded size or bedroom count are not included. Like-for-like compares each community with itself, size by size, 2023 against the last 12 months, where both periods have at least five sales, weighted by 2023 sales.
Flat while it was being built. Higher since homes were finished.
Quarterly median price per square foot across 1,176 registered villa and townhouse sales since Q1 2023. Until 2024 almost all were developer sales off-plan; since 2025 many are resales of finished homes, so the line moves with that mix as well as with prices.

Three things every Jubail buyer should know
From registered transactions to 30 September 2026.
45%of sales were resales
Of 193 villa and townhouse sales in the last 12 months, 86 were resales and 87 were of completed homes, at a median AED 2,206 per sq ft. On most Abu Dhabi villa islands, almost every sale is still off-plan.
+72%Phase 2, same size, since 2023
In Jubail Island Phase 2, villas of the same bedroom size sold about 72% higher per sq ft in the last 12 months than in 2023, across five sizes. In Phase 3 the rise was about 13%. Only these two communities traded in both periods, so this is not an island-wide growth figure.
83+villas sold off-plan
At least 83 villas sold off-plan since 2023, most in Ain Al Maha Village, sit in projects with no completed sale registered yet. Rimas, a newer village, first registered sales in October 2026, after this data. This measures homes sold, not a handover schedule.
Villas among the mangroves, between Saadiyat and Yas.
Jubail lies off the coast between Saadiyat and Yas islands, reached by road, with mangroves and lagoons around its villages. LEAD Development is building it out village by village; the first phases are finished and lived in.
Jubail Island is one of Abu Dhabi's investment zones: buyers of every nationality can own villas and townhouses freehold.
The first phases are finished: 87 sales of completed homes were registered in the last 12 months. Newer villages are sold off-plan; check each handover date in the sales agreement.

Questions buyers ask about Jubail
Yes. Jubail Island is one of Abu Dhabi's investment zones, where buyers of every nationality can own property freehold. Confirm eligibility on the sales agreement before you pay.
In the 12 months to 30 September 2026, villas and townhouses on Jubail Island sold at a median AED 5.9 million, about AED 1,700 per sq ft of built-up area. 45% of those sales were resales; the rest were sold by the developer.
Over the same 12 months, 193 villas and townhouses sold on Jubail. Three-bedroom homes had a median price of AED 3.9 million, four-bedrooms AED 6.5 million and five-bedrooms AED 9.8 million. Finished homes in Phases 2 and 3 resold at higher prices per sq ft than the new Ain Al Maha Village launch.
Jubail is one of the few Abu Dhabi villa islands with a resale record. In Phase 2, villas of the same size sold about 72% higher per sq ft in the 12 months to 30 September 2026 than in 2023; in Phase 3, about 13% higher. These are changes in registered sale prices, before costs, and only two communities have traded in both periods. The case depends on the village, the home and your timeline.
Finished homes on Jubail now trade, so a rental market is forming, but we do not publish rent or yield figures for Jubail yet. Ask us for current rent comparables for the village you are considering.
Yes, a few. Jubail Terraces is the island's apartment project in the registry, with 33 apartment sales in the 12 months to 30 September 2026: too few for reliable price figures, so this page covers villas and townhouses.
Property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify for the 10-year Golden Visa. What counts is your own money in the property: a mortgage can only cover the value above AED 2 million, and for off-plan property at least AED 2 million must already be paid to the developer. On Jubail over the last year, every villa and townhouse sale was at AED 2 million or more. Confirm your eligibility with the authorities before you buy.
