Property in The Palm Tower

The Palm Tower is a 52-storey, 240 metre hotel and residential tower in the middle of Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, developed by Nakheel. A 290-room St. Regis hotel fills the first 18 floors, 432 fully furnished apartments sit on levels 19 to 47, and The View at The Palm observation deck is on the 52nd floor.

Early plans in 2018 spoke of 504 residences. By 2021 Nakheel gave the final number as 432, which is the figure to use.

Palm Tower 1, Palm Tower 3 or The Palm Tower?

Many searches for "Palm Tower 1" and "Palm Tower 3" are for a different place: the Palm Towers in Al Khan, Sharjah, a separate group of residential towers in another emirate. The Palm Tower on Palm Jumeirah is a single tower in Dubai, sometimes called The Palm Tower Residences or the St. Regis tower. If a listing says Palm Tower and gives a Sharjah address, it is not this building.

The residences

All residences were sold fully furnished. Because the tower stands in the middle of the trunk, homes look over the Palm's fronds, the Arabian Gulf, or back towards Dubai Marina and the city skyline. Ask for the floor, the facing and the floor plan of the exact unit.

Amenities and what is in the building

• The St. Regis hotel, its restaurants and its services on the lower floors
• A rooftop infinity pool and restaurant, planned as part of the hotel
• The View at The Palm on level 52, with an outdoor terrace and 360 degree views
• Palm Jumeirah Mall below, with shops, restaurants and a cinema
• A Palm Monorail station at the mall

Access to the hotel's facilities for residents depends on the building's rules and the unit, so ask before you commit.

Location and getting around

The tower stands on the trunk of Palm Jumeirah, at the mall roughly halfway along. The Palm Monorail stops at the mall and links to the gateway at the start of the Palm and to Atlantis at the far end. By car, the trunk connects to Sheikh Zayed Road through the Palm's main road, and Dubai Marina and JBR are a short drive away.

Renting in The Palm Tower

Tenants choose The Palm Tower for a furnished, ready apartment with hotel services next door and a mall downstairs. Rents depend on the size, floor and view, so we do not quote an average. Many units are also let for short stays; our guide to short-term rentals and holiday homes in Dubai explains the rules. Browse apartments for rent on Palm Jumeirah.

Buying in The Palm Tower

Buyers get a freehold, furnished home in one of the Palm's landmark towers, completed in 2021. Check the view, which side of the tower the unit faces, how the unit is managed if you plan to let it, and the approved service charge. Our Dubai service charge index guide shows where to find the official figure. We do not quote one because we could not source a dated official number.

Who it suits

It suits buyers who want a recent, furnished apartment on Palm Jumeirah without the cost of a villa, investors who plan to let short or long term, and residents who like a mall, a monorail and a five star hotel on the doorstep. It is less suited to anyone who wants a private beach at the door, since the tower is on the trunk rather than the fronds.

Pros and cons

• Pros: built by Nakheel, completed in 2021, furnished homes, views across the Palm and the Gulf, mall and monorail station at the base, St. Regis hotel in the building.
• Cons: the mall and observation deck bring visitors and traffic; not a beachfront building; views depend heavily on floor and facing.
