Description
Off-Market Distress Deal: 2 Bedroom in Rixos Residences, Dubai Islands – Sea View | AED 4,470,000
Exclusive Off-Market | 2BR Sea View in Rixos Residences – AED 330,000 Below OP | Handover December 2026
An exclusive off-market distress opportunity that is not available through any active property listings or portal. This 2-bedroom, sea view apartment in Rixos Residences on Dubai Islands is offered directly at AED 4,470,000 — AED 330,000 below the original purchase price of AED 4,800,000 — with a clear, structured three-tranche payment plan that allows the buyer to manage cash flow across a near-term December 2026 handover. Spanning 1,600 sq.ft (150 m²) with a sea view, this is a Rixos-branded luxury residence in one of the most anticipated new waterfront destinations in Dubai. The Rixos brand — operated by Accor Hotels — delivers a world-class hospitality-managed living standard that commands premium rental and resale values over non-branded equivalents. The December 2026 handover timeline means the buyer is entering at the most efficient point in the delivery cycle — close enough to completion to limit off-plan risk, with sufficient time to plan occupancy or rental deployment. As an off-market asset with no other listings, the pool of competing buyers for this specific unit is intentionally limited.

About Rixos Residences – Dubai Islands
Rixos Residences on Dubai Islands represents one of the most compelling branded residence propositions currently available in Dubai’s off-plan market. Rixos Hotels — part of the Accor Hotels group and a brand renowned across the Middle East and Mediterranean for its ultra-luxury all-inclusive resort concept and consistently elevated hospitality standards — brings its global service culture directly into residential ownership, creating a living environment where hotel-grade amenities, concierge services, and property management are seamlessly integrated into daily residential life. Dubai Islands itself is the emirate’s most significant new coastal development project — a five-island waterfront masterplan developed by Nakheel spanning approximately 17 square kilometres of Arabian Gulf coastline, positioned off the historic Deira district.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the asking price and how does it compare to the original price?
The asking price is AED 4,470,000 against the original purchase price of AED 4,800,000 — a saving of AED 330,000, approximately 6.9% below the seller’s original cost. The total buyer outlay of AED 4,470,000 is split across three structured tranches: AED 2,546,780 to the seller, AED 961,760 to the developer before trustee, and AED 961,760 as the 20% handover payment in December 2026.
What does the three-tranche payment structure mean for the buyer?
The three-tranche structure means the buyer does not pay the full AED 4,470,000 upfront. The payment is spread as follows: AED 2,546,780 is paid to the seller at the time of SPA execution and transfer initiation; AED 961,760 is paid directly to the developer before the trustee office completes the registration; and AED 961,760 — representing the 20% handover balance — is paid in December 2026 when the unit is delivered and the title deed is issued. This structure provides meaningful cash-flow flexibility for the buyer across a compressed near-to-handover timeline.
Why is this an off-market listing?
This unit is not listed on any property portal, real estate platform, or public listing channel — it is being offered exclusively and directly through us. Off-market status benefits the buyer by removing the competitive exposure of a publicly visible distress listing, giving a motivated but private buyer the opportunity to transact without a bidding environment. Please treat this information as confidential and contact us directly to proceed.
What brand manages Rixos Residences and what does that mean for residents?
Rixos Residences is managed under the Rixos Hotels brand — part of the Accor Hotels group — a luxury hospitality brand renowned across the Middle East, Mediterranean, and Central Asia for its all-inclusive resort concept and consistently elevated service culture. For residents, the Rixos-managed model delivers hotel-grade services including F&B, spa and wellness, entertainment, concierge, and property management services integrated into daily residential life. This creates a measurable premium in both short-term rental daily rates and long-term resale values versus non-branded beachfront equivalents.
What is the size, view, and general layout of this apartment?
The apartment is 1,600 sq.ft (150 m²) and is a 2-bedroom unit with a sea view. At 150 m² for a 2-bedroom, this is a generously proportioned unit that is meaningfully above the Dubai market average for this bedroom configuration. The sea view is a permanent outlook across the Arabian Gulf. Exact floor level, room dimensions, bathroom count, balcony area, and detailed floor plan are available on request.
When is the handover and what happens at that point?
Handover is expected in December 2026. At handover, the buyer pays the final tranche of AED 961,760 — the 20% completion payment — and the Dubai Land Department title deed is issued. The unit then moves from off-plan SPA status to a fully titled freehold property in the buyer’s name. The Rixos-branded management begins operating the full amenity and service programme from handover, enabling immediate short-term or long-term rental deployment if desired.
Is Rixos Residences on Dubai Islands freehold and open to all nationalities?
Yes. Rixos Residences on Dubai Islands is located within a designated freehold zone in Dubai and can be fully owned by all nationalities, including non-UAE residents and international investors. A full Dubai Land Department title deed is issued upon handover completion in December 2026.
What amenities does Rixos Residences offer?
Rixos Residences delivers the brand’s signature all-inclusive resort amenity programme including private beach access, infinity pool with sea views, aqua park and water leisure facilities, spa and wellness centre, multiple dining and F&B outlets, entertainment and activity programme, kids’ club, concierge and 24-hour resident services, fitness centre, covered parking, and direct access to the Dubai Islands waterfront. Full confirmed amenity details are available via the project brochure on request.
What are the total transaction costs for this purchase?
In addition to the three-tranche total of AED 4,470,000, the buyer should budget for: the Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee of typically 4% of the purchase price (approximately AED 178,800); developer NOC and admin charges; real estate agent commissions if applicable; trustee office fees; and applicable annual service charges. All costs should be independently verified with legal counsel before proceeding. A full cost breakdown is available on request.
What is the investment case for this Rixos Residences unit?
The investment case is driven by five distinct factors: off-market access to a below-OP asset without competing buyer pressure; a near-to-delivery December 2026 handover that minimises remaining construction risk; the Rixos brand premium delivering above-market STR nightly rates and resale values; a permanent sea view that is among the most commercially valuable outlook types in any Dubai residential address; and early-stage entry into Dubai Islands ahead of the district’s maturation — when the full hotel, marina, golf, and retail infrastructure is operational and values compound accordingly. Post-handover yield and capital appreciation projections are available on request.
