Palm Views West, Palm Jumeirah
Palm Views West sits in a quieter corner of the Palm, and one way to see that is to walk to the nearest coffee. Roasters is about nine minutes on foot, and the route passes a mall, a park and a supermarket on the way. Few Palm addresses offer that, and it is why the pocket suits people who prefer to leave the car at home for small errands.

- Frequently Asked Questions
The building
Five levels in all: a ground floor and four above. Construction started in February 2013 and finished in 2014. The ground floor holds a cafe and a restaurant, along with two marine shops, so a coffee is a lift ride away.
The Palm Views pocket has a quieter, more residential air than the resort stretches farther along the island. Palm Jumeirah Road links it to the mainland.
Inside the flats
The building holds studios and one-bedroom apartments, each with a balcony that looks toward the sea or the Dubai Marina skyline. A studio starts from about 550 square feet. It has a fully equipped open-plan kitchen with a living and dining area beside it, and a large balcony looks out toward the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline.
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, since the open-plan kitchen and living area make a compact stay easy. A one-bedroom gives a little more room for a longer visit, or for a couple who like a separate door between the bedroom and the sofa.
Pool, gym and clubhouse
The building has a swimming pool and a gym with a health club. A clubhouse and a children's play area complete the set. A conference room is available for business meetings.
Underground parking and high-speed lifts come with the building. Security with CCTV runs round the clock, and the lobby has a front desk that is staffed all day and all night.
The first errand
Monoprix is five minutes away on foot and Waitrose is seven. A clinic is ten minutes away. Welcare Hospital is further out, and Emirates Hospitals Clinic Palm Jumeirah and Dubai London Clinic sit at Nakheel Mall.
Palm Jumeirah Mall is six minutes away on foot and four by car. Choithrams Palm Shoreline and Spinneys Golden Mile are the other daily-shopping names on the island.
Coffee and dinner
Roasters is the closest coffee spot, serving specialty brews. Boon and Have are other coffee shops, as is Espressi by The Espresso Lab. Grand ZOR is the restaurant for a full meal.
Sixteen places to eat fall within 500 metres, among them Barrel 12 and Din Tai Fung.
Further afield, Saffron and Kaleidoscope Buffet are among the restaurants on the Palm, along with Il Passaggio, Sapori and The Locale. Around Atlantis The Palm you find Ossiano, an underwater restaurant, and Seafire Steakhouse and Bar. An evening out can be a short walk or a full outing, depending on the mood.
A free afternoon
A park is four minutes away on foot, and others sit at six and eight. The beach is nine minutes away, and a second one is ten.
Monty's Rowing School is seven minutes on foot, and Aura Skypool is eight. The Vox cinema is five.
Al Ittihad Park has a running track, room for picnics and yoga, and a welcome for dogs. Palm West Beach has swimming and beachside eateries, and dogs can walk there, so a whole family can spend an afternoon there without a plan. The Pointe has a dog-friendly beach too, and shops and restaurants sit beside it.
For a bigger day, 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.
Getting around
Most residents get around by car or taxi. There is no metro on the island itself, and no bus routes run inside it.
The Palm Monorail runs from Palm Gateway to Atlantis Aquaventure, calling at Al Ittihad Park and Nakheel Mall. The Palm Jumeirah tram stop sits at the base of the island.
Cars can drive on and off the island freely along the trunk. From Dubai International it is 35.7 kilometres, around 34 minutes when traffic flows.
Schools
Najmara teaches an American curriculum within walking distance. Queen Elizabeth's School offers a UK curriculum with a BTEC pathway a drive away, and Icademy Middle East follows an American programme.
There are no schools on the island itself. Dubai College, GEMS Wellington International School and American School of Dubai sit across Sheikh Zayed Road.
Blossom Nursery, Redwood Montessori Nursery and Asya's 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.
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.
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 the island is like to live on
The island is calm and upmarket. Waterfront views, running and cycling along the sea, and a view of Atlantis The Palm all come with it. Traffic can build up near the entry points at peak hours, and public transport is not ideal, so most people rely on cars or taxis.
Everyday costs run premium, and the island can feel isolated if you came for city life. The quiet and the sea are the reasons to come, and the drive is the price for the rest, which most people who pick the Palm accept gladly. That is the honest trade for the quiet and the sea.
What is on in the city
The year in Dubai follows a clear order. Winter belongs to the shopping festival, spring to Ramadan and Eid, and November to fitness.
This autumn the Dubai Fitness Challenge asks for a little activity every day through November, and Dubai Run closes Sheikh Zayed Road to traffic on 22 November while runners take over the lanes. National Day follows at the start of December with fireworks and family activities.
A week at Palm Views West
On Monday you land at Dubai International and take a taxi to the building. On Tuesday you walk to Roasters and the park, and on Wednesday you go to the beach.
At the weekend you eat at one of the restaurants on the ground floor.
What the register shows
The register labels the records below as sales. Three studio sales were recorded in August 2026, and two of them carry amounts far too low to be a sale of a whole studio, so the table shows only the 29 August record. Read it as a single data point, not as a price list.
| Unit type | Sales | Dates | Price (AED) | Size (sq m) | AED per sq m |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 1 | 29 Aug 2026 | 1,300,000 | 51.36 | 25,312 |
