About Sunset Bay 3 Dubai Islands Dubai

Sunset Bay 3 is an 11-floor, 63-unit building in Imtiaz's Sunset Bay series on Dubai Islands, with 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments and Arabian Gulf views, on a 20/40/40 plan with handover due March 2027. The source listing shows it from AED 2.02 M, about Rs 5.20 Cr at 25.75 rupees to the dirham.

Unusually for the islands, the developer's full price list by unit type is in print, and the listed entry sits just above the AED 2 M Golden Visa line. What is not in print is the unit areas. This page sets out the list, works the entry unit through the plan and fees, and says which unit to take if the visa is the point. See all Dubai projects we track for the rest of the islands.

For context, the first Sunset Bay building prices its 948 sq ft 1 BHK at AED 1.69 M, about AED 1,780 per sq ft, and Dubai Islands off-plan apartments averaged about AED 2,340 per sq ft by mid-2025. If Sunset Bay 3's 1 BHK is a similar size to phase one, AED 1.9 M to 2.26 M is about AED 2,000 to 2,390 per sq ft, in line with the islands; the price list with areas will confirm it. The narrow 2 BHK band of AED 2.84 M to 3.0 M suggests a single layout on different floors.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent in construction-linked instalments and 40 per cent on handover in Q1 2027.

No agency commission applies on a developer sale. Dubai Islands service charges are regulated by Nakheel at an estimated AED 15 to 22 per sq ft. Final as per the SPA.

Location and connectivity

Dubai Islands sit off Deira, linked by the Infinity Bridge: the Gold Souk is about ten minutes by car, Dubai International Airport 15 to 20, Dubai Creek Harbour about 15 and Downtown 20 to 25. The beaches are a few minutes away and the night souk and promenade are walkable. The plot is inland from the shore, so the Gulf view is from the upper floors rather than the beach at the door. Dubai Islands Mall, the metro link and most of the resort programme are still under construction through 2027 and beyond.

Amenities and specifications

Quoted amenities are a pool, a gym, a landscaped deck, a kids' play area and covered parking, with sea-view balconies on the apartments. Later Sunset Bay phases are marketed as furnished; confirm in the SPA whether this one is. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Imtiaz Developments has more than 40 active projects and a pipeline above AED 10 billion. It reports more than 2,000 units delivered, six handovers in 2025 and ten scheduled for 2026, with Pearl House II in JVC three months early and Westwood Grande two months early, and one tracker puts its on-time rate at 100 per cent. It made the first residential handover on Dubai Islands with Beach Walk Residences. With Beach Walk Grand, both Cotier House phases and four other Sunset Bay phases under way here, it is the islands' most committed developer and its largest source of new rental supply through 2027.

For overseas buyers

Any nationality. Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to buyers of every nationality, resident or not: no local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. On the AED 2.02 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 80,800 (USD 22,000), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. UAE banks lend non-residents about 50% to 60% of the price, which is why the developer payment plan above carries most overseas purchases. The paragraphs below work the numbers for an Indian buyer, the largest single group buying in Dubai, but the ownership, visa and yield rules are the same whatever passport you hold.

Ownership. Dubai Islands is freehold; the unit is registered as an Oqood record now and a title deed at handover.

Remittance. AED 2.02 M is about USD 550,000. Under the LRS each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can cover the 60 per cent before handover this year and the 40 per cent at handover after 1 April 2027, which is when March 2027 falls. Map the instalment dates before booking.

Golden Visa. AED 2.02 M is just above the AED 2 M threshold. Make sure the price registered with the DLD is at or above AED 2 M, because the AED 1,899,875 unit is not, and a discount could take a qualifying unit below the line. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP.

Yield and tax. Dubai Islands forecasts run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open; at AED 2.02 M a 1 BHK needs about AED 121,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, realistic for a sea-view unit. No UAE tax applies; in India the rent is income from house property after the 30 per cent standard deduction. Resale before handover is possible once a set share is paid, subject to the developer's transfer fee, and 63 units means few competing sellers.

Pros

  • A full developer price list in print
  • Only 63 units in an 11-floor building
  • Just above the Golden Visa line at AED 2.02 M
  • Q1 2027 handover from a developer that finishes early
  • Nakheel-regulated service charges of about AED 15 to 22 per sq ft
  • Only 40 per cent at handover

Cons

  • No published unit areas
  • The cheapest 1 BHK is under the Golden Visa line
  • Not beachfront
  • The islands are unfinished
  • Heavy Imtiaz supply letting through 2027
  • DLD number and escrow bank not in print

Who this is for

  • Golden Visa applicants who want the cheapest qualifying unit on the islands from a proven developer
  • Investors who want a small building with a published list and a 2027 handover
  • Buyers who prefer a 2 BHK under AED 3 M with a Gulf view
  • Indian couples who can remit USD 500,000 across this financial year and next

Who should look elsewhere

  • Buyers who need the per sq ft rate before committing
  • Anyone who needs a finished neighbourhood today
  • Anyone who wants beachfront rather than a sea view
  • Anyone unwilling to chase the DLD number and escrow details

Our verdict

A sensible Golden Visa buy on the islands: 63 units, a published list and a Q1 2027 handover from a developer that finishes early. Get the areas, the DLD number and the escrow details, and take a unit registered at AED 2 M or more. Budget about AED 86,000 of fees on AED 2.02 M. The wider market is on our project list.

FAQs

What is the price of Sunset Bay 3?

The source listing shows it from AED 2.02 M, about Rs 5.20 Cr. The developer's list runs 1 BHK AED 1,899,875 to 2,262,015, 2 BHK AED 2,836,463 to 3,000,514 and 3 BHK from AED 4,301,091. Unit areas are not published; ask for the list with areas.

What is the payment plan?

20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent during construction and 40 per cent on handover. Add the 4 per cent DLD fee and Oqood admin fees at booking.

When is handover?

March 2027; some listings print February 2027 and the source listing January 2027, all in the same quarter. Ask for the DLD project-status report.

How many units and floors?

63 units over 11 floors, with 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments and Arabian Gulf views.

Is it RERA registered?

It is an active DLD-registered off-plan project on Property Finder and Bayut, but none of the sources checked prints the project number or the escrow bank. Confirm both on the Dubai REST app before paying.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

At AED 2.02 M, yes, just above the AED 2 M threshold. The cheapest 1 BHK at AED 1,899,875 does not. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP and make sure the registered price is at or above AED 2 M.

What are the service charges?

Dubai Islands charges are estimated at AED 15 to 22 per sq ft a year for 2026, regulated by Nakheel. Ask for the budget once the area of your unit is confirmed.

What rental yield can I expect?

Forecasts for Dubai Islands run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open by 2027. At AED 2.02 M a 1 BHK needs about AED 121,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, which is realistic for a sea-view unit.

What has Imtiaz delivered?

More than 2,000 units, six handovers in 2025 and ten scheduled for 2026, with Pearl House II and Westwood Grande delivered early. It handed over Beach Walk Residences, the first residential building on Dubai Islands.

For Investors

Steady rental demand and active resale in Dubai Islands make it a sensible medium to long-term hold. Get a good entry price and the maths works better.

For End Users

Larger layouts, amenities and a settled neighbourhood suit families who actually want to live here, not just invest.

For NRIs

A RERA-registered project from a known builder is the safer pick when buying from abroad. We handle paperwork and updates remotely.

For Families

Schools, parks, security and open areas keep day-to-day family life easy.

For Senior Citizens

Green areas and nearby healthcare help — ask us about lower-floor units for easier access.

Is Sunset Bay 3 Dubai Islands Dub... Worth Buying?

Short answer

Yes, for the right buyer. Early pricing now, with value as it nears handover. Just compare the exact unit and price with one nearby option first.

Detailed answer

Short answer — yes, it is worth a serious look if you want a home in Dubai Islands from a builder with a real track record. Buying early gets you a better price than ready stock, with the upside as it nears handover. It is not the cheapest option in the area, so it fits buyers who value the builder, location and amenities over the lowest sticker price. Compare the exact unit with one nearby project, lock the live cost sheet with us, and you will know if it is right for you.

✅ Buy if
  • You want a long-term home or hold from a builder with a track record
  • You are fine waiting for handover in return for better pricing
  • Location, build quality and amenities matter more to you than the lowest sticker price
↪️ Look elsewhere if
  • You need the cheapest option in the area
  • You need to move in right away
  • You are chasing quick, short-term resale gains

Possession Timeline

Handover is on record for March 2027, the end of Q1 2027; some listings print February 2027 and the source listing January 2027, all within the same quarter. The building is under construction and no source checked prints a completion percentage. Imtiaz has finished early on Pearl House II and Westwood Grande and has handed over on these islands. Ask for the DLD project-status report and the escrow statement before booking.

Investment Analysis

Why people look at Sunset Bay 3 Dubai Islands Dubai for investment is simple — it is in Dubai Islands, and this part of Dubai Islands has seen steady demand from both end-users and investors. Good road links, nearby offices and schools usually keep rentals healthy and resale active. Since it is still under construction, entry prices are lower than ready stock, which is what early buyers count on. That said, treat any price or return figure as a guide and confirm the current cost sheet with us before you decide.

Advantages
A full developer price list by unit type is in print, which is rare on the islands. Only 63 units in an 11-floor building — a small resale market to compete in. AED 2.02 M sits just above the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold.
Watch-outs
Unit areas are not published, so the price cannot be checked against the islands' AED 2,340 per sq ft average. The cheapest 1 BHK at AED 1,899,875 is under the Golden Visa line; only units at AED 2 M or more qualify. Not beachfront — the plot is inland from the shore.
Rental demand
Homes in Dubai Islands usually find tenants from the offices and schools around them, which keeps rental demand steady through the year.
Appreciation
Prices in this corridor have moved up over the years as new launches and roads came in. Treat any return figure as a guide, not a promise, and confirm the entry price with us first.

Price Analysis

The starting price of about AED 2.02 M (about Rs 5.20 Cr) is in line with what Dubai Islands asks today for this kind of project. What you actually pay shifts with the floor, view, facing and unit size, plus any offer running at the time.

Treat the listed figure as a starting point, not the last word. Ask us for a unit-wise cost sheet so you see the real, all-in number before you decide.

Payment Plan Explained

There are usually a few ways to pay. A construction-linked plan (CLP) spreads payments across building stages, a down-payment plan asks for most of the cost upfront for a discount, and a possession-linked plan pushes a big part to handover.

Which one suits you depends on whether you are buying to live in or to invest, and on your loan. We can lay out the exact plans on offer and what each costs you.

Hidden Charges to Budget For

Beyond the base price, plan for GST (on under-construction homes), stamp duty and registration, and one-time charges like club membership, covered parking, power backup and IFMS (a maintenance deposit). A preferred-location charge (PLC) may apply for a better floor or view.

None of this is truly hidden once you see a full cost sheet, but it adds up. Ask us for the complete break-up so the final figure is clear from day one.

Maintenance Cost

Maintenance is billed per square foot every month and depends on the amenities and upkeep level — bigger clubs and more facilities usually mean a slightly higher rate.

We will share the current maintenance rate for this project, along with the one-time maintenance deposit, when you reach out.

Rental Yield

Residential rental yields in Dubai Islands are modest, like most of NCR, but steady, helped by demand from nearby offices and schools. The bigger draw is usually capital appreciation and a good tenant pool rather than high monthly rent.

If rental income is your main aim, tell us your budget and we will point you to the configurations that rent out fastest here.

Resale Potential

Resale demand in Dubai Islands is generally active because the corridor stays in demand with both end-users and investors. A known builder and a good location usually make a unit easier to sell later.

Resale value still comes down to the exact unit, floor and the market at the time, so buy at a sensible price and the resale side tends to look after itself.

Possession Risks

Since it is still being built, there is always some chance of a timeline shift. The plus point is that RERA-registered projects carry committed dates and clear compensation rules for delay.

Before booking, check the RERA possession date and the delay clause. We will also share the builder's track record on delivery so you go in with eyes open.

Bank Loan Availability

Home loans here are generally easy to arrange, since leading banks usually approve known builders and RERA-registered projects. Banks typically fund up to roughly 75 to 90 percent of the cost based on your profile.

We can connect you with loan partners, help with eligibility and paperwork, and line up a competitive interest rate.

Construction Updates

The project is currently under construction. The build stage and finishing change month to month.

For the latest site progress — slab status, finishing or possession readiness — call or WhatsApp us and we will share the most recent update from the ground.

Locality Review

Dubai Islands is one of the steadier addresses in the Gurugram market. Day-to-day life is easy here — schools, hospitals, markets and offices are close, the roads connect well to the rest of NCR, and there is a healthy mix of families and working professionals. It suits buyers who want a settled, well-linked neighbourhood rather than a far-out, still-developing pocket.

Nearby Landmarks & Connectivity

Drive times From Dubai Islands, the main business hubs of Gurugram are usually a 15 to 25 minute drive on a normal day, and IGI Airport about 30 to 40 minutes via the expressway network.
Peak-hour traffic Like the rest of NCR, mornings and evenings run slower. Keep an extra 15 to 20 minutes in hand during office rush on the main roads.
Metro & rapid transit Metro and rapid-metro stops are within a short drive, and the network keeps growing across Gurugram, which helps daily movement.
Future infrastructure Road widening, new expressway links and planned metro extensions in this belt should cut travel times further over the next few years.
Daily commute For a working family, school runs, office and weekend outings stay within a manageable radius — a big reason this corridor holds demand.

Connectivity is indicative. Ask us for exact distances and drive times.

Straight Answers
What is the biggest drawback?

The main thing to weigh is this — unit areas are not published, so the price cannot be checked against the islands' AED 2,340 per sq ft average. It is not a deal-breaker for most buyers, but worth factoring in. Tell us your plan and we will say honestly whether it matters for you.

Is it a good long-term investment?

For the long term, Dubai Islands has the basics investors look for — steady demand, improving roads, and a healthy mix of end-users and tenants. A home from a known builder in this corridor usually holds value and has room to grow over a 5 to 10 year horizon. It suits patient, long-term buyers more than anyone chasing a quick flip. The entry price you get decides how good the return looks, so confirm the live rate with us first.

Who should buy here?

It suits long-term buyers and investors who are fine waiting for handover in exchange for lower entry pricing, and anyone who wants a home from a trusted builder in Dubai Islands.

Is it worth the price?

At around AED 2.02 M (about Rs 5.20 Cr) to start, it is priced in line with the Dubai Islands market for this kind of home. Whether it is worth it depends on the exact unit and the running offer — we will help you compare before you commit.

Sunset Bay 3 is a small building with a published price list from the developer that has already delivered on Dubai Islands, and its listed entry of AED 2.02 M sits just over the Golden Visa line. That combination, a proven developer, 63 units and a qualifying 1 BHK, is what most Indian buyers on the islands are looking for. What the list does not give is areas, so the per sq ft rate cannot be checked against the islands' AED 2,340 average from public sources, and the plot is inland from the beach. Take the 1 BHK at or above AED 2 M rather than the AED 1,899,875 unit if the visa matters, ask for the areas, and treat March 2027 as the date with the developer's early-delivery record as the upside.

Common Concerns, Answered

🤔 Is the price too high?

Premium projects in Dubai Islands do sit higher, but you pay for the builder, location and build quality. Compare the price per sq ft with one nearby project and it usually adds up — we will run that for you.

🤔 Will possession get delayed?

It is RERA-registered, so there is a committed date and compensation rules if the builder slips. We will share the delivery track record so you can judge the risk.

🤔 Is maintenance expensive?

Maintenance is per sq ft per month and scales with amenities. We give you the exact rate up front so it is in your budget, not a surprise.

🤔 Will it resell easily?

Resale in Dubai Islands stays active on steady demand. A known builder and a good unit make selling later easier.

🤔 How much carpet area do I really get?

Loading (the gap between saleable and carpet area) varies by project. Ask us for the exact carpet area of the unit you like so you compare like for like.

🤔 Is the rent worth it?

Yields here are modest but steady, helped by nearby offices and schools. If rent is your goal, we will point you to the units that lease out fastest.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of Sunset Bay 3? +
The source listing shows it from AED 2.02 M, about Rs 5.20 Cr. The developer's list runs 1 BHK AED 1,899,875 to 2,262,015, 2 BHK AED 2,836,463 to 3,000,514 and 3 BHK from AED 4,301,091. Unit areas are not published; ask for the list with areas.
What is the payment plan? +
20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent during construction and 40 per cent on handover. Add the 4 per cent DLD fee and Oqood admin fees at booking.
When is handover? +
March 2027; some listings print February 2027 and the source listing January 2027, all in the same quarter. Ask for the DLD project-status report.
How many units and floors? +
63 units over 11 floors, with 1, 2 and 3 BHK apartments and Arabian Gulf views.
Is it RERA registered? +
It is an active DLD-registered off-plan project on Property Finder and Bayut, but none of the sources checked prints the project number or the escrow bank. Confirm both on the Dubai REST app before paying.
Does it qualify for the Golden Visa? +
At AED 2.02 M, yes, just above the AED 2 M threshold. The cheapest 1 BHK at AED 1,899,875 does not. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP and make sure the registered price is at or above AED 2 M.
What are the service charges? +
Dubai Islands charges are estimated at AED 15 to 22 per sq ft a year for 2026, regulated by Nakheel. Ask for the budget once the area of your unit is confirmed.
What rental yield can I expect? +
Forecasts for Dubai Islands run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open by 2027. At AED 2.02 M a 1 BHK needs about AED 121,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, which is realistic for a sea-view unit.
What has Imtiaz delivered? +
More than 2,000 units, six handovers in 2025 and ten scheduled for 2026, with Pearl House II and Westwood Grande delivered early. It handed over Beach Walk Residences, the first residential building on Dubai Islands.

Final Verdict

A sensible Golden Visa buy on the islands: 63 units, a published list and a Q1 2027 handover from a developer that finishes early. Get the areas, the DLD number and the escrow details, and take a unit registered at AED 2 M or more. Budget about AED 86,000 of fees on AED 2.02 M.
