- Frequently Asked Questions
The building
The building offers studio and one-bedroom apartments. A studio has a fully equipped kitchen and a wooden floor, and its balcony looks out over the ocean. Large terraces add more of the island views.
Many of the studios on offer are furnished and have sea views, and some stand vacant and ready to move into. That makes the building simple to start with: you arrive and the home is ready.
Pool, gym and clubhouse
The building has a gym and a health club, a swimming pool, retail outlets and play areas for children. A clubhouse is available to residents who want to host a conference.
Security runs for 24 hours with CCTV, and high-speed lifts serve the floors. Parking is at ground level, and the lobby has a 24-hour front desk.
Inside and around the flats
Young professionals and retirees who want a compact home on the Palm are the usual match, with Dubai Marina a quick drive away. A studio suits a solo traveller or a couple. A one-bedroom gives a little more room for a longer visit.
Palm Views is the quieter pocket of the island, more residential than the resort stretches.
The first errand
Monoprix is five minutes away on foot, and Waitrose is seven. A clinic is nine minutes away. Welcare Hospital is further out.
Palm Jumeirah Mall is five minutes on foot and seven by car, and a cinema, VOX, is four minutes away. Choithrams Palm Shoreline and Spinneys Golden Mile also cover daily shopping on the island.
Coffee and dinner
Coffee and a quick bite are easy to find close to the building: Espressi by The Espresso Lab, Doner and Gyros, and Madeleine et Marcel all sit nearby.
Sixteen places to eat fall within 500 metres, Din Tai Fung among them, so a sit-down dinner rarely needs a car, and the walk home is short enough that nobody minds the heat of the evening. Seafire Steakhouse and Bar and Ossiano, an underwater restaurant, sit around Atlantis The Palm.
A free afternoon
Three parks sit within nine minutes on foot, the nearest at four. The beach is nine minutes away, and a second is ten.
Monty's Rowing School is seven minutes on foot, and so is Aura Skypool. Al Ittihad Park has a running track, room for picnics and yoga, and a welcome for dogs.
Palm West Beach offers swimming and dog walking. The Pointe has a dog-friendly beach and the Palm Fountain, with its show running late into the night.
Getting around
There is no metro on the island, and no bus routes run inside it. Residents get around by car or taxi, and the quieter Palm Views pocket links to the mainland by Palm Jumeirah Road.
The Palm Monorail runs from Palm Gateway to Atlantis Aquaventure. Dubai Tram stop 09 is Palm Jumeirah, between Media City and Knowledge Village.
The drive from Dubai International is 37.3 kilometres, around 36 minutes in free-flowing traffic, and rush hour adds more.
Schools
Dubai College, GEMS Dubai American Academy and GEMS Wellington International School hold the top KHDA grade, and Regent International Private School is rated Very Good.
The island has no schools of its own, so families cross Sheikh Zayed Road. Blossom Nursery and Redwood Montessori Nursery are near the Palm.
The island around you
The Palm is made of a trunk and a spine, with fronds beyond and a crescent at the edge. Nakheel took on the project in 2001, and the island has been settling into its present shape ever since.
Atlantis, Fairmont The Palm, Anantara The Palm and FIVE Palm Jumeirah are among the island's hotels. A flat here competes with them on space and a kitchen, and it wins on both for anyone staying longer than a long weekend.
Cars can drive on and off the island freely along the trunk.
A bigger day out
The View at The Palm is a 360-degree deck on level 52 of Palm Tower. Aquaventure at Atlantis has more than 105 slides and attractions. A running track follows the trunk between Shoreline and Golden Mile, with play areas and exercise machines along it.
For a long meal, the Palm offers Saffron, Kaleidoscope Buffet, Il Passaggio, Sapori and The Locale. An evening out can be a short walk or a full outing, depending on the mood.
Emirates Hospitals Clinic Palm Jumeirah and Dubai London Clinic sit at Nakheel Mall, which is useful to know before you need it.
What the Palm is like
Calm is the first word for the island: waterfront views, runners and cyclists along the sea, and Atlantis The Palm on the horizon. Traffic can build up near the entry points at peak hours, and public transport is limited. Everyday costs run premium.
Our reading: a Palm apartment pairs a walk to the water with a monorail and a mall on the island, which suits a beach holiday with a kitchen.
What is on in the city
Dubai's year follows a clear order. Shopping fills the winter and November belongs to fitness.
This autumn the City Half Marathon starts at 06:00 at the Gate Building in DIFC on 8 November. Diwali events run through the first half of the month with shopping offers and dining deals.
National Day follows at the start of December with fireworks and cultural activities, and the Dubai Shopping Festival opens a few days later.
Who the building suits
A studio in a five-storey block, with a mall on one side and the sea on the other, suits a couple who want a quiet week and a kitchen of their own, or a solo traveller on a longer work stay who would rather cook than order in. It is not a place for nightlife. Evenings are slow.
Families fit too, though a studio gets tight with children, so a one-bedroom is the better pick for them. Check the layout before you book, because the balcony is where most people spend the morning.
A week at Palm Views East
On Monday you land at Dubai International and take a taxi to the building. On Tuesday you walk to the mall and the cinema, and on Wednesday you go to the beach.
At the weekend you walk to dinner, then stroll back along the quiet roads of the pocket with the sea air still on your clothes.
What the register shows
The register labels all of these as sales. Studios are the only unit type with recent sales, so the table covers those alone. Read it as a snapshot of a handful of deals, not as a price list.
| Unit type | Sales | Dates | Price (AED) | Size (sq m) | AED per sq m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 12 Aug 2026 to 28 Sep 2026 | 1,535,000 to 1,600,000 | 50.8 to 50.92 | 30,821 |
AED per sq m is the median where a row has more than one sale.
