There is no doubt that the UAE is home to some spectacular properties. From penthouse apartments to plush villas with sprawling gardens and incredible pools, it’s a real estate haven.

Each week, The National showcases some of the finest homes on offer in its Property of the Week. Here, we take a look at a beachfront mansion on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah.

The key details

High-end living at its finest. This six-bedroom, six-bathroom Palm Jumeirah property is spread across 14,420 square feet on a 14,451 square feet plot, complete with its own gym, sauna, spa, cinema, infinity pool and a private beach.

The property is being sold furnished and has been on the market for five weeks.

What's the story?

Does it come any better than a home complete with its own stretch of private beach?

This waterfront villa is located on Palm Jumeirah. Set over three storeys, the property has been designed to make the most of light and space, with floor-to-ceiling windows, floating steps, a reflection pond, a framed sculptural tree and a luxurious infinity swimming pool.

The property is located on the tip of the frond, with access to its own private beach, looking out on the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai Marina skyline.

The ground floor boasts spacious living and dining rooms, with a large family kitchen. There is also a guest bedroom and staff quarters.

Upstairs, on the first floor, prospective buyers will find a gym, complete with spa and steam room, along with a luxurious private cinema and four en-suite bedrooms.

Adding to the air of luxury that the property delivers, the second floor offers itself over to the master suite, which comes with a separate office, spa and sun terrace.

Al fresco, the property comes into its own, boasting shaded terraces, a barbecue area, an infinity pool and 67 metres of private white, sandy beach.

What the brokers say ...

What makes this property worth its Dh100 million price tag?

The value of an ultra-luxury property can at times be debated, however, when a property has several unique selling points, is built to the highest of standards and is located in an ultra-prime location, then there is little room for debate and the price tag is unquestionable. Villa Aurum, a BlackBrick Luxury Collection property, is one of those homes where the Dh100 million price tag is well justified.

Villa Aurum's location, on the tip of Palm Jumeirah's Frond M, reinforces that location is everything. As an owner of this villa, you will be only one of 16 that own a property at the very frond tip of one of the world's largest manmade archipelagos.

What makes this property stand out?

Being on the tip of the frond, Villa Aurum offers more than 60 metres of direct private beach access with a 20m infinity pool ensuring maximum use for family fun or entertaining guests.

The open-plan design allows for all living and entertaining areas to be maximised, while ensuring adequate privacy through well-placed soft furnishings.

What inspired the decor in the property?

The owner has installed Italian marble and other stone work throughout the home. All the furniture is Italian branded and placed by an Italian interior designer.

The design is heavily influenced by the sea with the connection between built and natural environment being at the core, similar to that you commonly experience along the Italian Mediterranean coastline.

What attracts high-end buyers to Palm Jumeirah?

Palm Jumeirah will always be a special address in Dubai. It is well-known internationally and boasts more than 78 kilometres of coastline. The restaurants, beach clubs, hotels, yachts and open space pull together to create a world-class lifestyle destination. It is a truly stunning beachside address, unlike anywhere else in the world.

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.

Some of Darwish's last words

"They see their tomorrows slipping out of their reach. And though it seems to them that everything outside this reality is heaven, yet they do not want to go to that heaven. They stay, because they are afflicted with hope." - Mahmoud Darwish, to attendees of the Palestine Festival of Literature, 2008

His life in brief: Born in a village near Galilee, he lived in exile for most of his life and started writing poetry after high school. He was arrested several times by Israel for what were deemed to be inciteful poems. Most of his work focused on the love and yearning for his homeland, and he was regarded the Palestinian poet of resistance. Over the course of his life, he published more than 30 poetry collections and books of prose, with his work translated into more than 20 languages. Many of his poems were set to music by Arab composers, most significantly Marcel Khalife. Darwish died on August 9, 2008 after undergoing heart surgery in the United States. He was later buried in Ramallah where a shrine was erected in his honour.
