03 / Overview

About The Alba Residences

The Alba is a mixed-use scheme on Palm Jumeirah’s west crescent, and it is the most expensive residential product in this list by a wide margin. In the first half of 2026 it recorded the highest price per square foot in the Palm’s AED 20m-plus segment, at AED 11,227 per sq ft, and one residence sold for AED 225.965m.

What that money buys is scarcity and service. Very few units, full-height glazing to open sea, a private beach, and a hotel-grade operating standard rather than an owners’ association.

The market for these is small and international, and it moves slowly. Resale is a six-to-twelve-month process, not a listing. Buy it as a home or a very long hold. It is not a trade and the developer does not pretend it is.

10 / Questions

Asked and answered

How liquid is this?

It is not. Expect six to twelve months to find a buyer at the right price. Anyone promising a quick exit at this level is not being straight with you.

What is the service charge?

Materially higher than a standard Palm building because the operator’s staffing is included. Ask for the schedule in writing before you offer.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Any UAE property purchase at or above AED 2m qualifies the owner for the ten-year investor visa, subject to the current immigration rules. That is true of most of this list and is not a reason to buy this one.

Can I furnish it myself?

Yes. Some residences are offered furnished by the design team; others are delivered to the buyer’s specification. Confirm per unit.

What is actually on the amenity deck

Named specifically, because “sports facilities” tells a reader nothing about whether they would use them.

  • Private beach with attended cabanas
  • Hotel-standard residents’ service and concierge
  • Spa with a hammam and two treatment rooms
  • 25m infinity pool facing the open sea
  • Private residents’ restaurant
  • Chauffeur and valet with a dedicated arrival court

Palm Jumeirah

The address everyone has already seen, and the hardest one to buy well. Fronds, trunk and crescent behave like three separate markets, and orientation matters more than postcode.
