Ellington Beach House Palm Jumeirah Dubai

Ellington Beach House is Ellington Properties' first building on Palm Jumeirah - a 7-floor, 123-home block on the East Crescent beside Sofitel Dubai The Palm, with its own beach. Apartments run one to three bedrooms at about 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft, with penthouses above them. It is finished, and resale asks start near AED 4.8 million (about Rs 12.36 crore).

That makes this a different page from most Palm listings: there is no handover to wait for and no construction progress to check. What there is instead is a resale market - 49 listings on Bayut, 78 on Property Finder, a six-month average ask of AED 9,356,538 and a range from AED 4.8 million to AED 27.4 million. This page works through what the entry unit costs to own, what the rate looks like against the rest of the island, and the two things the sources still disagree about.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

There are two price histories here and both are worth seeing. Ellington launched the building in Q2 2022 and its Q1 2023 price for a one-bedroom was AED 4,626,000, with project pages quoting entry figures of AED 4.5 million, AED 4.6 million and AED 5.1 million at different points and a four-bedroom penthouse from AED 19 million. Today the building trades on the resale market.

The useful conclusion is that the entry ask has barely moved from the launch price of three years ago, and that the rate sits inside the band quoted for branded Crescent stock rather than above it. For comparison, ELA Residences on the same Crescent asks from about AED 8,460 per sq ft. Ellington Beach House is the modest end of branded Palm living, and the flat six-month trend says the market agrees with the price rather than chasing it.

What it costs to buy and to hold

A resale is a simpler transaction than an off-plan booking and a more front-loaded one: there is no 30/20/50 split to spread the cost. The market norm is a 10% deposit at the memorandum of understanding, then the balance at the DLD trustee office on transfer day.

Then the holding cost. The building's own service charge is not published by any source we checked. Palm apartment towers are quoted at AED 15 to 25 per sq ft a year, and branded or hotel-managed buildings at AED 25 to 50, which on a 1,100 sq ft home is AED 27,500 to 55,000 a year - about Rs 7.1 to 14.2 lakh. Ask the owners' association for the current budget per sq ft, in writing, before you agree a price.

Location and connectivity

The East Crescent is the Palm's outer arc, and the building's immediate neighbour is Sofitel Dubai The Palm. The practical benefit of the address is the private beach shared by roughly a hundred households; the practical cost is that everything off the island is a drive along Crescent Road and up the trunk.

Atlantis The Palm and the Palm Atlantis monorail station are a short run along the Crescent, Nakheel Mall and the trunk about 10 minutes, Dubai Marina and JBR about 15, Mall of the Emirates about 20, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) about 35 to 40 minutes. There is no Dubai Metro station on the island. One project page also measures a six-minute walk to Frond E beach, which tells you the building sits at the Crescent's inner edge rather than at its tip.

Amenities and specifications

The amenity list is longer than a 123-home building usually carries: an infinity pool, a clubhouse, an outdoor barbecue and dining area, a padel tennis court, an urban basketball area, indoor and outdoor fitness areas and children's play areas. Less common, and more useful to anyone who works from home, are the office and videoconferencing rooms, a terrace with a cigar lounge and sea view, and a banqueting hall with an open kitchen.

On specification, remember what you are buying. Ellington sells on interior design, but no appliance or fit-out schedule is published by the sources we checked, and on a resale the finish is whatever the current owner has done to the unit. View it, at more than one time of day, and check which way it faces before you talk about price.

About the developer

Ellington Properties was founded in Dubai in 2014 by Robert D. Booth, a former managing director of Emaar Properties. It counts more than 18 delivered projects with about 37 under construction, and handed over three buildings in 2025: Berkeley Place (127 apartments in Mohammed Bin Rashid City), Eaton Palace (110 homes in JVC) and Ellington House in Dubai Hills Estate.

The company publishes a 96% occupancy rate across its delivered buildings and average capital appreciation of 50% on studios and up to 69% on two-bedroom homes across its last 15 completions. Those are developer figures rather than audited ones, so weigh them accordingly. Its wider reputation is for finishing on time, and no significant delays are reported by the sources we checked - though this building moved from a Q2 2023 target to a 2024-25 completion, which is the one place the record slipped. Ellington's second Palm building, Ellington Ocean House, is still under construction.

For Indian buyers

Palm Jumeirah is a designated freehold area: any nationality can own here in their own name, with no residency requirement and no local partner, and the DLD issues the title deed. Every unit in this building is well above the AED 2 million property threshold for the ten-year Golden Visa, and because the building is finished the visa process starts from a deed that already exists rather than from an off-plan contract.

The funding maths is tighter than it looks. AED 4.8 million is about USD 1.31 million, and the Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year - so roughly 5.2 allowances, or about three financial years for a couple remitting USD 500,000 between them. The catch is that a ready resale does not wait for your remittance schedule: the full price is due on transfer day. Either the funds are already assembled offshore, or you bridge the gap with a UAE mortgage, which non-residents can get at a lower loan-to-value than residents. Take FEMA and tax advice before you sign the memorandum of understanding.

On the running side, the UAE charges no annual property tax and a residential sale does not attract VAT, so the recurring cost is the service charge. If you let the home, the rent is taxable in India if you are an Indian tax resident, with treaty credit for anything paid in the UAE. Palm apartments are quoted at 5.5% to 6.83% gross for long lets, and about 4.6% on portal listings, but no source publishes this building's rents - get rental comparables for the exact unit.

Pros and cons

• Finished, so you buy a title deed rather than a promise
• About AED 4,000 to 4,800 per sq ft sits inside the AED 3,800 to 5,500 branded Crescent band
• A private beach shared by about a hundred households
• An amenity list that gets used - padel, infinity pool, work rooms, banqueting hall
• 18-plus delivered projects since 2014 and three handovers in 2025
• 49 listings on Bayut and 78 on Property Finder, so resale liquidity genuinely exists

• Asks run from AED 4.8 million to AED 27.4 million, so the AED 9.36 million average says little about any one unit
• Asks moved about 1% in six months - not a building to buy for a quick gain
• Completion ran 12 to 18 months past the original Q2 2023 target, and three dates are still in print
• Service charge unpublished, and branded Palm buildings run AED 25 to 50 per sq ft a year
• One project page prints 204 residences over 17 floors against 123 over 7 elsewhere
• The 4% DLD transfer fee and 2% agency commission add about AED 288,000 to the entry ask

Who this is for, and who should look elsewhere

This suits an end user who wants a Palm beachfront home now, at a rate that is defensible against the community's own numbers, and who will inspect the unit properly. It suits a Golden Visa buyer who prefers a finished home to a floor plan, and a landlord who is content with the Palm's real yield rather than a brochure's.

Look elsewhere if you want appreciation: the six-month trend is about 1%. Look elsewhere if you need a staged payment plan, because a resale is paid in full at transfer. And if you are buying unseen, stop - in a 123-home building the view, the floor and the finish change the value more than the postcode does.

Our verdict

This is the least speculative Palm purchase of the five buildings in this batch. The building exists, the beach exists, the amenities are real and the price sits inside the branded band instead of above it, which is not something you can say about most of the island's new stock.

Buy it to live in or to let, with the service-charge budget in hand and the 4% DLD transfer fee and 2% commission already in your number. Do not buy it expecting the asking prices to run: they have not. If you want the same developer still under construction on the same island, read our page on Ellington Ocean House.

FAQs

What is the price of an apartment in Ellington Beach House?

Resale asks on Bayut run from AED 4,800,000 to AED 27,400,000 across 49 listings, with a six-month average of AED 9,356,538 and asks up about 1% over that period. The entry ask of AED 4.8 million is about Rs 12.36 crore. Ellington's own launch price for a one-bedroom in Q1 2023 was AED 4,626,000.

Is the building complete?

Yes, but the date depends on the source: July 2024 on one, 100% construction progress against a December 2024 date on another, and Q1 2025 on a third. The original target was Q2 2023. Ask the seller for the title deed and the building's completion paperwork.

How do I pay for a resale unit?

The full price is due at transfer, usually against a 10% deposit at the memorandum of understanding stage. On AED 4.8 million add the 4% DLD transfer fee of AED 192,000, a registration trustee fee of about AED 4,000 plus VAT on the fee, and the agency commission, quoted at 2% in the Dubai market. A UAE mortgage is available, at a lower loan-to-value for non-residents.

How big are the apartments?

About 1,000 to 2,000 sq ft of suite area for the one, two and three-bedroom homes; penthouse sizes are not published by the sources checked. At the AED 4.8 million entry ask that is roughly AED 4,000 to 4,800 per sq ft.

How does the price compare with the rest of Palm Jumeirah?

Palm Jumeirah averaged about AED 3,100 per sq ft in Q1 2026, with prime apartments at AED 2,800 to 4,500 and branded Crescent residences at AED 3,800 to 5,500 in August 2026. Ellington Beach House at AED 4,000 to 4,800 per sq ft sits inside the branded band rather than above it.

What is the service charge?

The building's own rate is not published by the sources checked. Palm apartment towers are quoted at AED 15 to 25 per sq ft a year and branded or hotel-managed buildings at AED 25 to 50, so budget AED 27,500 to 55,000 a year on a 1,100 sq ft home. Ask the owners' association for the current budget in dirhams per sq ft.

What rent and yield can I expect?

No source publishes this building's rents. Palm Jumeirah apartments are quoted at 5.5% to 6.83% gross for long lets and 5.8% to 6.8% as of August 2026, with about 4.6% on portal listings. Work your own number off an agent's rental comparables for the exact unit, then subtract the service charge.

Can a foreign buyer own here, and does it come with a Golden Visa?

Yes. Palm Jumeirah is designated freehold, open to all nationalities with no residency requirement and no local partner, and the DLD issues the title deed in your name. Every unit here is well above the AED 2 million property threshold for the ten-year Golden Visa.

What taxes apply in the UAE?

The UAE charges no annual property tax and a residential sale does not attract VAT. The one-off costs are the 4% DLD transfer fee and the registration and trustee fees; the recurring cost is the service charge.

How does an Indian buyer fund AED 4.8 million?

AED 4.8 million is about USD 1.31 million, or roughly 5.2 annual allowances under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme's USD 250,000 per person per financial year. A couple remitting USD 500,000 between them needs about three financial years - and on a ready resale the full price falls due at transfer, so the funds must already be assembled. Take FEMA and tax advice before you sign.
