FIVE Jumeirah Village JVC Dubai

FIVE Jumeirah Village is the hotel-and-residences tower that FIVE Holdings built in Jumeirah Village Circle, District 14. It opened on 2 September 2019 with 247 hotel rooms and suites and 254 sky villas, and between them they carry 269 private pools. Most people who search for FIVE Jumeirah Village Dubai are after the hotel; this page is about what a buyer can own there.

Owners buy furnished studio hotel apartments of about 483 to 528 sq ft, or one, two and four-bedroom sky villas with their own pools. The lowest studio ask is AED 549,999 (about Rs 1.42 crore), while recorded studio sales this summer ran AED 764,643 to 900,000. The units are run as part of the FIVE Jumeirah Village hotel, so your income comes through the hotel's rental programme, and the service charge is about AED 19.27 per sq ft a year.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The source listing prints no price, and FIVE is not selling new units here: the building has been open since 2019. So we print the lowest current resale ask, AED 549,999, for a studio hotel apartment, seen on a portal on 1 October. That is an ask. The recorded sales tell a different story: studios sold for AED 764,643 to 900,000 in June and July 2026, and the 12-month average was AED 918,888. A studio offered far below those figures may be a smaller or lower unit, or come with a weaker rental agreement; ask why before you get excited.

The sky villas are the odd part of the price table. A one-bedroom sky villa of about 1,620 sq ft, with a private pool on its terrace, averages about AED 1.25 M, or roughly AED 770 to 860 per sq ft. That is cheaper per foot than the studios, because the terrace and pool take up area and the buyer pool for large hotel units is thin.

Against JVC

Our JVC buying guide puts the community near AED 1,448 per sq ft, with studios at a median near AED 1,473. FIVE studios that sell near AED 1,600 to 1,860 per sq ft carry a premium for the brand and the hotel service; the cheapest ask sits well under the community median.

Payment plan and total cost

There is no developer payment plan: you are buying a finished, operating unit. The full price is paid at transfer, from your own funds or a UAE mortgage. Fewer banks lend on hotel apartments than on standard flats, and those that do often lend a smaller share; get a lender's written approval before you sign anything.

Service charge. The building guide gives about AED 19.27 per sq ft a year, with lines for upkeep, repairs, an improvement charge and hotel services and facility access. On a 528 sq ft studio that is about AED 10,200 a year; on a one-bedroom sky villa of 1,620 sq ft it is about AED 31,200. That is well above JVC's usual AED 10 to 14, and it comes off your income every year.

The rental programme. Most units sit in FIVE's hotel pool. One broker page describes a guaranteed 10% net return for five years, seven free nights a year for owners and a long rental agreement with a split of room revenue between owner and hotel. We could not confirm those terms in FIVE's documents, and a resale may not carry the launch offer. Ask the seller for the management agreement and two years of owner statements: they are the only real evidence of what the unit earns.

Location and connectivity

The FIVE Jumeirah Village address is District 14, Jumeirah Village Circle, close to the middle of the circle; the FIVE JVC location puts most of the community's shops and cafes within a short drive. Circle Mall is a few minutes away. JVC sits between Hessa Street and Al Khail Road, which give quick routes to Sheikh Zayed Road on one side and Business Bay on the other.

By car, Dubai Marina and JBR are about 15 minutes away, Mall of the Emirates about 15 and Downtown about 20. The drive from Dubai airport (DXB) to FIVE Jumeirah Village is about 25 to 30 minutes outside the peak, which matters for a hotel that sells to visitors. There is no metro station in JVC, so guests arrive by car or taxi.

Smaller residential neighbours such as Cubix Residences in District 12 show what a standard JVC flat costs by comparison. For the wider choice see JVC projects, all Dubai projects we track or the full projects list.

Amenities and specifications

The FIVE Jumeirah Village amenities are those of a five-star hotel, and owners share them with guests. The podium has a large swimming pool, a putting green, a gym, a boutique spa, a supermarket, walkways and water features. The tower has an all-day diner, a pool bar and grill, a sports bar and a rooftop restaurant, plus the nightlife the hotel is known for. Residents also get a free shuttle to the Beach by FIVE at FIVE Palm Jumeirah, the group's beach club, without the non-guest entry fee; pool use there is charged.

The units are sold furnished. Studios have floor-to-ceiling glass and a terrace. The FIVE Jumeirah Village sky villas with pools come in three sizes on FIVE's own pages: a one-bedroom of 155 sq m (about 1,670 sq ft), a two-bedroom of 251 sq m (about 2,700 sq ft) for four guests, and a four-bedroom of 522 sq m (about 5,620 sq ft) for ten. Each has a private pool or jacuzzi on its terrace.

For FIVE Jumeirah Village hotel photos, FIVE's site shows the rooms, villas and pool deck; these are the same units owners buy. Parking per unit and the furniture replacement fund are not published; ask for both.

About the developer

FIVE Holdings is the group of Kabir Mulchandani, who founded FIVE Hotels and Resorts in 2017 and chairs it. FIVE Palm Jumeirah came first, FIVE Jumeirah Village opened in September 2019, and FIVE LUXE followed at JBR. FIVE develops and runs its own buildings, so the developer you buy from is also the hotel operator your income depends on.

That is a strength and a concentration of risk. The brand keeps the building to a hotel standard and fills it with guests; it also sets the service charge, runs the rental pool and decides how much of the room revenue reaches owners.

FIVE Jumeirah Village hotel reviews on travel sites are guests' views of rooms, pools and nightlife. They say something about occupancy and upkeep, but nothing about owners' returns. For that, the owner statements are the only evidence.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. JVC is freehold for foreign buyers, and a hotel apartment carries a title deed in the owner's name like any flat. The UAE has no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the main government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, about AED 22,000 on a AED 549,999 studio.

Remittance. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each person can send USD 250,000 per financial year. The studio with costs is about AED 588,330, roughly USD 160,200, so one person can fund it in one year. A one-bedroom sky villa near AED 1.3 M with costs needs a couple's combined allowance. TCS of 20% above Rs 10 lakh a year is adjusted against your income tax.

Golden Visa. The property route needs AED 2 million. Studios and one-bedroom sky villas fall short; a two or four-bedroom sky villa bought at AED 2 M or more on the title deed would qualify.

Income and tax. Your income is the hotel's payout under the management agreement, not a tenant's rent, so it moves with occupancy. The UAE does not tax it; an Indian tax resident declares it in India and reports the unit as a foreign asset.

Pros

• A finished, operating hotel: no build risk and a transaction history to price against
• Studios from AED 549,999 are among the cheapest ways into a branded five-star building in Dubai
• Sky villas with private pools near AED 800 - 860 per sq ft on recorded one-bedroom asks
• The hotel runs the letting, cleaning and guests; owners need not manage a tenant
• Shuttle to the Beach by FIVE at FIVE Palm Jumeirah adds a beach to a JVC address

Cons

• Service charge of about AED 19.27 per sq ft is well above JVC's usual AED 10 - 14
• Your income depends on the hotel's performance and the rental agreement, not on a lease you control
• Wide spread between the lowest ask (AED 549,999) and recorded studio sales (AED 764,643 - 900,000)
• Fewer UAE banks lend on hotel apartments, and resale buyers are a narrower pool
• The guaranteed-return terms quoted on a broker page could not be checked against FIVE's own documents

Who this is for

• Hands-off investors who want a hotel-managed unit rather than a tenant
• Buyers wanting a branded five-star unit at JVC prices
• Owners who will use a few nights a year themselves
• Sky villa buyers wanting a private pool at a low price per foot

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who want to live there or let on a normal annual lease
• Yield buyers who need a predictable rent; hotel income swings with occupancy
• Anyone relying on a UAE mortgage without a lender's written approval
• Buyers who will not read the hotel management agreement before paying

Our verdict

FIVE Jumeirah Village is not a normal apartment building: it is a working five-star hotel where you can own a room. The entry is low, with studios asked from AED 549,999, and the sky villas with private pools are priced well under JVC's average per foot. What you are really buying is a share of FIVE's hotel income under its management agreement, and the service charge of about AED 19.27 per sq ft is the price of the hotel standard. The gap between the lowest ask and recorded sales near AED 765,000 to 900,000 says check which unit, which floor and which agreement the cheap one comes with. A guaranteed-return figure circulates on broker pages, but nothing we could check confirms it today.

Worth considering for a hands-off investor who wants a branded hotel unit and accepts hotel-style income. Buy only after reading the management agreement on the exact unit, getting the last two years of owner statements and confirming finance if you need it. If you want to live in it or let it on your own terms, buy a normal JVC apartment instead.

Can I rent out a FIVE Jumeirah Village apartment myself, or on Airbnb?

Most units are in the hotel's rental pool and are let by FIVE, not by the owner, so Airbnb and normal annual leases are usually not open to them; a handful of FIVE Jumeirah Village apartments for rent appear on portals. Check the unit's management agreement first: it decides whether you can opt out and what you earn.

Is there a beach club at FIVE Jumeirah Village?

Not on site; JVC is inland. Residents get a free shuttle to the Beach by FIVE at FIVE Palm Jumeirah, the group's beach club, without the non-guest entry fee; pool use there is charged separately.

Jumeirah Village Circle, District 14, Dubai. The drive from Dubai airport (DXB) to FIVE Jumeirah Village is about 25 to 30 minutes outside the peak; Dubai Marina is about 15 minutes.

Does a unit here qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?

A studio or one-bedroom sky villa does not; the property route needs AED 2 M. A two or four-bedroom sky villa bought at AED 2 M or more on the title deed would; no current ask for those was printed in the sources.

Can an Indian buyer own a hotel apartment here?

Yes. JVC is freehold for foreign buyers and hotel apartments carry a title deed in the owner's name. The money leaves India under the LRS, up to USD 250,000 per person per financial year.
