Raffles The Palm Dubai

Raffles The Palm Dubai, developed by Emerald Palace Group and completed in Q4 2024, comprises 25 fully furnished residences across two buildings on Palm Jumeirah. The collection spans one- to eight-bedroom configurations, each carrying the Raffles hotel brand and its associated service infrastructure into a private residential setting.

# The Two Buildings and Their Position on the Palm

Palm Jumeirah occupies a singular position in Dubai's residential geography. The man-made island extends into the Arabian Gulf, and its fronds and crescent address sit removed from the mainland grid, affording residents both sea frontage and a degree of physical separation from the city's denser corridors. Raffles The Palm sits within this environment as a low-volume, brand-anchored address rather than a conventional tower development.

With only 25 residences across two buildings, the density is deliberately contained. That restraint is itself a positioning choice: buyers are not purchasing into a large-scale complex but into something closer to a private club with a hotel spine behind it.

# Residences, Layouts and the Scale of Space

The size range across the collection is considerable. One-bedroom residences begin at 1,637 sq ft priced at AED 13.5 million, while two-bedroom units range from 1,819 to 2,433 sq ft, priced between AED 15.9 million and AED 19.6 million. Three-bedroom layouts span 2,486 to 10,075 sq ft, with prices from AED 21.2 million up to AED 59.6 million for the larger configurations.

Four- and five-bedroom residences reach well into penthouse territory. The largest four-bedroom unit covers 16,223 sq ft at AED 67.6 million. Five-bedroom options extend to 15,179 sq ft, priced at AED 78.8 million and AED 80.4 million respectively. At the upper boundary of the collection sits an eight-bedroom residence with an asking price of AED 600 million.

All residences are delivered fully furnished. The developer's specification draws on furniture houses including Minotti, Poltrona Frau, B&B Italia, Henge and Visionnaire, alongside kitchen fit-outs by Dada, Poliform, Gaggenau and Miele. Service charges run at AED 20 to 32 per sq ft depending on unit type.

# What the Raffles Brand Brings to Daily Life

The amenity list at Raffles The Palm is anchored by the hotel infrastructure operating alongside the residences. The Cinque Mondes Spa and the Gharieni Wellness Technology Journeys form the wellness offer. Dining options on-site include Matagi, Piatti By The Beach, Le Jardin and Raffles Patisserie. For evenings, the Sola Jazz Lounge and the Blüthner Hall provide distinct environments within the same address.

The 80-seat private theatre and Raffles Kids Club serve residents whose use of the property extends beyond the occasional visit. The 500-metre white-sand private beach is among the more tangible differentiators: direct, managed beach access on Palm Jumeirah at this scale remains a limited commodity.

Raffles Gym and multiple swimming pools complete the on-site physical infrastructure.

# Distances and Practical Connectivity

Nakheel Mall sits approximately 5 km from the development, Al Ittihad Park around 6.2 km. Downtown Dubai is 26.7 km by road, and Dubai International Airport is roughly 27.9 km. For a property of this profile, the airport distance matters: a 30-minute drive under normal conditions places the residence within practical reach of the terminals without requiring a second city base.

The Palm's own connectivity via the monorail and the Palm Tunnel link to Sheikh Zayed Road keeps mainland Dubai accessible without the journey feeling protracted.

# Who This Address Is Designed For

Raffles The Palm is not a conventional buy-to-let proposition, nor does it present itself as one. The price architecture, from AED 13.5 million for a one-bedroom to AED 600 million at the ceiling, reflects a buyer base that includes both full-time residents and those seeking a managed, hotel-quality second home in Dubai with a globally recognised brand operating the shared infrastructure.

For buyers from the UK, Europe or Asia accustomed to Raffles properties in London, Singapore or Paris, the brand carries inherent familiarity. The service model, which extends to butler services, in-residence dining, personal drivers and private medical access, addresses the practical requirements of owners who may not be in residence continuously. The completeness of that infrastructure, combined with the low unit count, positions Raffles The Palm as one of the more operationally self-contained luxury addresses currently available on Palm Jumeirah.
