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. With over 20 kilometres of new beachfront, dedicated marinas, a world-class hotel and resort strip, an 18-hole golf course, and a curated retail and dining promenade, Dubai Islands is engineered to become the next premium waterfront address in Dubai's coastal hierarchy — alongside Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Harbour.
