Overview
120 hotel-serviced residences on Dubai Islands, by ONE Development and Amr Diab. Studios to three bedrooms from AED 1,050,000, freehold, with a 60/40 plan and handover estimated for Q4 2027.
A hotel you can own
On Dubai Islands, the low new coast that Nakheel is building off Deira, ONE Development and the Egyptian singer Amr Diab are raising the first DO hotel. It is a building of eight storeys in two curved wings of glass and pale metal, with a pool that bridges the drive, and 120 residences that are bought freehold and run as hotel apartments. DO describes it as the world's first hotel built around music: there are two recording studios in the building, and the public rooms are designed with sound in mind.
The beach is about two minutes away, and the sun sets over the sea. Dubai International Airport, the Gold Souq Metro and the Dubai Frame are each about ten minutes away; Downtown and the Museum of the Future about fifteen.
The residences
The residences run from studios of about 38 m² to three-bedroom homes from about 192 m², the largest with a terrace bigger than its interior. Prices start at AED 1,050,000 for a studio, AED 1,980,000 for a one-bedroom home, AED 3,000,000 for two bedrooms and AED 5,500,000 for three. Every residence is serviced by the hotel: housekeeping, laundry, concierge, valet and in-residence dining, with a spa, gym, pools, sports courts and an all-day restaurant downstairs.
Buying with Omnia
The developer offers a 60/40 plan, with handover estimated for the fourth quarter of 2027, and a hotel-managed rental programme for owners who want the residence let while they are away. We read the rental programme agreement with you line by line, compare the floors and outlooks across the building, and set out the full cost before you reserve.

How ownership works.
Who can own
Dubai Islands is a freehold area. Buyers of any nationality can own a residence outright, with title registered at Dubai Land Department.
Registration and escrow
The project is registered with RERA under project number 3804, and payments are made into the project's escrow account, released to the developer against construction progress.
The rental programme
Owners can place their residence in a rental pool managed by DO Hotels & Residences. Read the programme agreement as a contract: it sets the fees, the share of income and any return terms the developer offers.
Costs on top of the price
Dubai Land Department charges a 4% transfer fee. Hotel residences carry a service charge and, inside a rental pool, an operator fee; ask for both in writing.
Figures are indicative. Your advisor prepares a full, itemised cost breakdown for your specific residence and jurisdiction before you commit.

In detail
A closer reading.
Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's five-island destination off the Deira coast, the project once known as Deira Islands, renamed in 2022. Nakheel's masterplan sets out more than 20 km of beaches, marinas, parks, hotels and homes, close to Port Rashid and Dubai Maritime City. It is one of the few places left in Dubai where a home can be bought with the beach at the end of the street, closer to the old centre of Deira and Bur Dubai than to the Marina.
The building
DO Hotels & Residences rises G+7: ground and seven floors, over a basement car park. The architecture is a pair of curved wings in glass and pale metal, with balconies that wrap the corners and a cantilevered pool bridging the drop-off. Facilities include a grand waterfront lobby with concierge and lounge, a fitness club with indoor and outdoor gyms, separate spas for men and women with sauna and steam rooms, an outdoor pool, jacuzzi and children's pool, a football pitch and padel, tennis, basketball and volleyball courts, two recording studios, an all-day restaurant and a coffee corner by the marina.
The residences and prices
There are 120 residences, from studios to three bedrooms. The published starting prices are AED 1,050,000 for a studio of 409 sq ft, AED 1,980,000 for a one-bedroom home of 831 sq ft, AED 3,000,000 for two bedrooms at 1,177 sq ft and AED 5,500,000 for three bedrooms at 2,062 sq ft, or from about AED 2,356 per sq ft. Sizes include balconies; the unit plans give internal and balcony areas separately, and we send them on request.
Ownership and the rental programme
Dubai Islands is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own outright. The project is registered with RERA under project number 3804, with payments made into its escrow account. Owners can join a rental pool managed by DO Hotels & Residences; the developer publishes return terms for the programme, and those terms are set in a contract that we review with you before you commit. Dubai Land Department charges a 4% transfer fee on the price.
Who it suits
This is a home for someone who wants the sea and the service of a hotel without running a house: a winter base, a pied-à-terre between flights, or an investment that is managed for you. A two-bedroom residence or larger crosses the AED 2 million value linked to the UAE's ten-year Golden Visa.

Questions & answers
What buyers ask us.
Where is DO Hotels & Residences in Dubai?
It is on Dubai Islands, Nakheel's island destination off the Deira coast, about two minutes from the beach. Dubai International Airport, the Gold Souq Metro and the Dubai Frame are each about ten minutes away.
Who is behind DO Hotels & Residences?
DO Hotels is a collaboration between ONE Development, a UAE developer, and the Egyptian singer Amr Diab. The Dubai Islands project is its first hotel, and it is managed by DO Hotels & Residences.
What are the prices at DO Dubai Islands?

What is the payment plan?

How many residences are there?
There are 120 hotel-serviced residences, from studios to three bedrooms, in a building of ground plus seven floors.
Can I live in the residence myself?
Yes. You own the residence freehold. If you place it in the hotel's rental pool, the programme agreement sets when you can use it, so read the owner-use terms first.
Is there a rental guarantee?
The developer offers owners a hotel-managed rental pool and publishes return terms for it. Those terms belong to the developer and the contract, not to Omnia; we review the agreement with you so that you know exactly what is promised and by whom.
Can foreigners buy at DO Dubai Islands?
Yes. Dubai Islands is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own outright. Our guide to [[whether foreigners can buy property in the UAE|/en/investor-guides/can-foreigners-buy-property-in-the-uae]] explains the rules.
What is the RERA number for DO Dubai Islands?
The project is registered with RERA under project number 3804. You can check the registration on Dubai Land Department's services before you pay.
What makes it a music hotel?
The building has two recording studios, and its public spaces are designed around sound and music, inspired by Amr Diab. DO describes it as the world's first music-themed hotel.
Does a residence qualify for the Golden Visa?
Property worth AED 2 million or more can support an application for the UAE's ten-year Golden Visa. At DO Dubai Islands, two- and three-bedroom residences start above that value.
What fees do I pay on top of the price?
Dubai Land Department charges a 4% transfer fee. After handover there is a service charge and, if you join the rental pool, the operator's fee. Our [[guide to the true cost of owning in Dubai|/en/investor-guides/service-charges-dld-fees-and-the-true-cost-of-ownership]] sets them out.
