A record has been set for Dubai's most expensive property with the sale of a villa on The Palm Jumeirah for Dh302 million ($82.2m).

The double Signature Villa, named Casa Del Sole, was developed by Alpago Properties and sold through its exclusive broker, B1 Properties.

It is on what is known as The Palm's Billionaires' Row on Frond G.

The sale comes amid a booming property market in Dubai, which has broken a number of records this year, including a record number of transactions in August and an earlier record high sale price of Dh280m.

The market has continued to rebound over the past year on the back of the UAE's broader economic recovery after the coronavirus-induced slowdown.

“This villa is the incarnation of the Alpago Properties vision represented by the three lines of our logo: high ceiling, less frames, less columns,” said Murat Ayyildiz, Alpago Group chairman.

“Entering the record books is a proud moment for Alpago Properties, but there is still plenty more to come with more exciting project announcements just around the corner.”

The property has eight bedrooms and underground parking for up to 15 cars. The home has been built over four levels on a plot of 28,000 square feet.

It features amenities such as a home cinema, a bowling alley, a gym, a hammam, a sauna, an infinity pool, a Jacuzzi and a game room.

Set to be finished by the first quarter of 2023, Casa Del Sole is the fourth of a set of six properties that Alpago is developing on Billionaires’ Row. The first, Riva Del Lusso, was priced at Dh147m while the second, Serene Versante, was launched with a price of about Dh136m.

A shortage of prime property in the city has been driving up prices.

The XLV Residence in upmarket Emirates Hills was listed at Dh225m in June. It is the most expensive project in Emirates Hills so far and is expected to surpass the selling price of a five-bedroom villa in the area that fetched Dh102.8m.

“Through to the end of 2025, just eight new villas are expected to be built in Dubai’s prime residential areas, hinting strongly at continued outperformance of villas at the very top of the market as there is nothing to suggest an easing of the luxury home drought any time soon,” Faisal Durrani, partner and head of Middle East research at Knight Frank, said in June.

Dubai is set to have the best-performing prime residential sector in the world, according to a recent report from Savills.

The city was boosted by an inflow of wealthy people and the success of its Golden Visa programme. It is expected to continue to attract wealthy people “at above pre-pandemic levels”, the report said.

The report said Dubai prime property prices grew by 4.7 per cent in the first half of 2022.

The hosting of the football World Cup in Qatar this year is set to boost the market further, industry experts told The National.

“There’s a perfect storm of eyes on the UAE, policies helping investors to buy, demand through the roof and that is only going to continue for the time being,” said Scott Bond, UAE country manager at Property Finder.

The relaunch of the Palm Jebel Ali megaproject could add further impetus to the market, with agents reporting a 300 per cent rise in the value of some waterside properties.

Developer Nakheel said it is revisiting its plans for Palm Jebel Ali, a project dormant since 2009, as the city experiences a surge in demand for beachfront villas and apartments.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026

1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years

If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.

2. E-invoicing in the UAE

Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption. 

3. More tax audits

Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks. 

4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime

Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.

5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit

There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.

6. Further transfer pricing enforcement

Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes. 

7. Limited time periods for audits

Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion. 

8. Pillar 2 implementation 

Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.

9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services

Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations. 

10. Substance and CbC reporting focus

Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

More on this story
What is dialysis?

Dialysis is a way of cleaning your blood when your kidneys fail and can no longer do the job.

It gets rid of your body's wastes, extra salt and water, and helps to control your blood pressure. The main cause of kidney failure is diabetes and hypertension.

There are two kinds of dialysis — haemodialysis and peritoneal.

In haemodialysis, blood is pumped out of your body to an artificial kidney machine that filter your blood and returns it to your body by tubes.

In peritoneal dialysis, the inside lining of your own belly acts as a natural filter. Wastes are taken out by means of a cleansing fluid which is washed in and out of your belly in cycles.

It isn’t an option for everyone but if eligible, can be done at home by the patient or caregiver. This, as opposed to home haemodialysis, is covered by insurance in the UAE.

if you go

The flights Fly Dubai, Air Arabia, Emirates, Etihad, and Royal Jordanian all offer direct, three-and-a-half-hour flights from the UAE to the Jordanian capital Amman. Alternatively, from June Fly Dubai will offer a new direct service from Dubai to Aqaba in the south of the country. See the airlines’ respective sites for varying prices or search on reliable price-comparison site Skyscanner.

The trip 

Jamie Lafferty was a guest of the Jordan Tourist Board. For more information on adventure tourism in Jordan see Visit Jordan. A number of new and established tour companies offer the chance to go caving, rock-climbing, canyoning, and mountaineering in Jordan. Prices vary depending on how many activities you want to do and how many days you plan to stay in the country. Among the leaders are Terhaal, who offer a two-day canyoning trip from Dh845 per person. If you really want to push your limits, contact the Stronger Team. For a more trek-focused trip, KE Adventure offers an eight-day trip from Dh5,300 per person.
