South Bay Phase 6 is the final plus most prestigious residential expansion within the renowned South Bay master community in Dubai South. By Dubai South Properties, this particular phase is a direct response to the massive demand seen in earlier sold-out stages. It showcases an elite selection of 4 and 5-bedroom townhouses and semi-detached villas, alongside a limited collection of 5, 6, and 7-bedroom ultra-luxury waterfront mansions. The community is strategically designed around a breathtaking 3-kilometer crystal lagoon, providing residents with a swimmable coastal lifestyle in the heart of the desert.
The design of Phase 6 emphasizes “limitless living,” with residences spanning G+2 floors and showcasing rooftop sky gardens, glass handrails, and high-end marble finishes. Residents tend to enjoy a unique mix of privacy and social connectivity, with homes located along a lushly landscaped 3km waterfront promenade. Positioned just minutes from the Al Maktoum International Airport and the Etihad Rail Network, South Bay Phase 6 represents the pinnacle of luxury in a district destined to become Dubai’s new economic center.

Source: Dubai Land Department open data. Registered sales of residential units between 30 June 2026 and 18 August 2026. Mortgages and gift transfers are excluded because they are not arms length sales. Sizes are converted from square metres at 10.7639 sq ft per sq m. The entry price shown for this project is our advertised starting price and is not a registered transaction. Community figures are medians across every project in the community, not this project alone. We do not publish a price per square foot for this project because advertised size ranges are not a reliable basis for that calculation.
What actually transacted in Dubai South
Before you judge a launch price, look at what the community around it registered. Over the last twelve months Dubai South recorded 5,845 registered rental contracts, all filed with the Dubai Land Department. These are signed contracts, not asking prices.
Registered rents in Dubai South moved +7.9 against the twelve months before.
The shorter window disagrees. On the most recent three months of contracts the same community reads +0.0%. Summer seasonality and smaller samples both sit inside that number, but we publish it rather than quote only the figure that flatters the market.
| Unit type | Contracts registered | Average annual rent (AED) | Rent per sqft (AED) | Change vs 12 months earlier |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 1,376 | 40,196 | 95 | +9.2 |
| 1 bedroom | 2,408 | 50,388 | 82 | +6.6 |
| 2 bedroom | 1,768 | 78,796 | 66 | +11.0 |
| 3 bedroom | 293 | 102,421 | 50 | +6.4 |
| All apartments | 5,845 | 59,190 | 78 | +7.9 |
