Palm Springs by Nakheel Is Officially Launched: Prices, Floor Plans, Payment Plan and How to Book

Nakheel has officially announced Palm Springs, its new townhouse and villa community in Hessyan First, Jebel Ali, directly beside Palm Jebel Ali. The factsheet, master plan, floor plans and Expression of Interest (EOI) guidelines were released to broker partners this week, so the numbers below are the developer's own, not market estimates. Here is everything a buyer needs: prices, sizes, unit counts, the payment plan, the location and how the EOI works.

Palm Springs at a glance

• Prices: AED 3.8M (3-bed townhouse) to AED 8.9M (5-bed villa)
• Payment plan: 60/40 — 10% on booking, 50% in six instalments to May 2029, 40% on handover

Prices, sizes and unit counts

Nakheel has released five home types. Built-up areas and prices are from the official factsheet; plot areas are the typical plots shown on the floor plans.

Two things stand out. First, the entry point: a Nakheel-built 3-bedroom townhouse at AED 3.8M, roughly AED 1,630 per sq.ft., in the same corridor where Palm Jebel Ali villas trade at several times that rate. Second, the scarcity at the top of the townhouse range: only 52 of the G+2 corner townhouses exist, and they come with a roof-level floor and a larger plot for AED 600K more than the G+1.

The payment plan: 60/40 over four years

The plan is deliberately light at the front. You pay 10% on booking and then 10% roughly every five to six months through 2027 and 2028, dropping to 5% instalments in late 2028 and 2029, with 40% due on handover in October 2030.

On the 3-bedroom townhouse that means AED 380,000 to book, AED 380,000 per instalment through July 2028, AED 190,000 in December 2028 and May 2029, and AED 1.52M on handover. Buyers who plan to finance the final 40% should check mortgage eligibility early; a 40% completion payment is larger than the 20–30% seen on many Dubai launches.

Where Palm Springs sits

The plot is on the Jebel Ali mainland, fronting Sheikh Zayed Road between the Palm Jebel Ali access and the Expo Road interchange, with a metro station marked at the community edge. Nakheel's published drive times:

• 14 minutes to Palm Jebel Ali
• 20 minutes to Bluewaters Island
• 23 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC)
• 25 minutes to Palm Jumeirah
• 30 minutes to Burj Al Arab

Jebel Ali Port, Jafza and the Expo City / Dubai South employment zone are all minutes away, which matters for rental demand. We covered the area case in detail in our Jebel Ali growth-corridor guide; the short version is that this is the stretch of Dubai with the most infrastructure spend committed over the next decade, and Palm Springs is the first Nakheel villa product on the mainland side of it since Jebel Ali Village sold out.

The master plan

The community is split into four clusters either side of a central spine. The two northern clusters hold the 4 and 5-bedroom villas, including mirror-plan versions, with the 5-bedroom villas taking the outer edge along the waterways. The two southern clusters are townhouses: 3-bedroom rows with 4-bedroom Type 1 and Type 2 corners, each cluster wrapped around its own pool and park.

Our usual advice applies: single-row plots backing onto parks or water, corner units, and homes away from the Sheikh Zayed Road edge will be the first to go and the easiest to resell. Ask us for the plot-numbered master plan before you submit your EOI.

Amenities

Nakheel lists beach and lap pools, gym and wellness centres, racquet and sports courts, cycling and jogging tracks, kids' play areas, gardens and event lawns, waterways, multipurpose spaces and schools within the community.

Floor plans

All five layouts are now published. Townhouses have a two-car carport, entrance passage, open living and dining, a separate kitchen, powder room, storage and a maid's room with its own bathroom on the ground floor, with the master bedroom (walk-in closet and en-suite) and two further bedrooms upstairs; the 4-bedroom Type 2 adds a second floor. Both villas are G+2 with a two-car carport, foyer, dining, living, kitchen, internal courtyard, a ground-floor guest bedroom with bathroom and a maid's room; the first floor has the master suite with walk-in closet and balcony, a family living room and two more bedrooms, and the second floor has a further bedroom opening onto a terrace plus a large roof terrace. Note the disclaimer on every sheet: pools and landscaping shown are illustrative and not included.

The 4-bedroom Type 1 townhouse and 4-bedroom villa plans, plus the material boards for both villa and townhouse finishes, are in the gallery on the Palm Springs project page.

How the EOI process works

Nakheel is allocating Palm Springs through Expressions of Interest rather than a first-come queue at the sales centre. The steps, from the official guidelines:

• 1. EOI form. We send you the form, you complete and sign it, and provide a copy of your passport and Emirates ID (where applicable).
• 2. Broker Portal submission. We submit your EOI through the Nakheel Broker Portal with your unit preferences. An Application Reference Number is emailed to you and to us.
• 3. Deposit. Pay by bank transfer (upload the proof through the link in your reference email), or by manager's cheque, personal cheque or credit card at the Meraas-Nakheel Sales Centre in Al Sufouh or the Sales Boutique in City Walk. Quote your reference number on every payment.
• 4. Status. Your EOI shows as Submitted until Finance clears the deposit, then Paid. Paid EOIs are the ones in the allocation queue.

Who Palm Springs suits

• End-users who want a new Nakheel villa or townhouse in south-west Dubai at a mainland price and can hold to the October 2030 handover.
• Golden Visa buyers: every unit is above the AED 2M property threshold (confirm eligibility with the Dubai Land Department).
• Investors targeting the Jebel Ali / Dubai South employment corridor, where family-villa rental supply is thin and the port, free zone and new airport are the demand drivers. Treat any yield or appreciation figure as an estimate, not a promise.

Next steps
