A groundbreaking off-plan villa has been sold for an unprecedented Dh125 million at the Sea Mirror community on Jumeira Bay Island in Dubai. Penthouse.ae, the company behind the sale, announced that this transaction stands as the most expensive off-plan villa sale of the year. The 5-bedroom, 15,000 sqft villa, scheduled for handover in early 2026, was acquired by a European UHNWI looking for a family residence and a home office. This marks the buyer’s inaugural investment in the UAE.
“This record-breaking sale reinforces Dubai’s steadfast status as a global leader in luxury real estate. The emirate’s strategic foresight, combined with its top-tier infrastructure and unmatched lifestyle offerings, continues to draw discerning international investors,” stated Marcus Andersson, director of sales at Penthouse.ae. “We are honored to have facilitated this landmark transaction and set a new standard for off-plan sales. Our profound understanding of Dubai’s property market and our dedication to providing personalized service ensure that clients capitalize on the most profitable investment opportunities available.”
Sea Mirror comprises 18 distinctive private homes. The villas, designed by renowned international architects Jacobsen Arquitetura and Studio MK27, boast numerous national and international design accolades. The interiors are crafted by Patricia Urquiola, a Milan-based designer whose work is showcased in prominent global museums. The properties feature expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by world-class amenities from the adjacent Bulgari Resort, Marina, and Yacht Club.
Antonio Caviglia, the agent who orchestrated the sale, emphasized that understanding the client’s specific requirements was crucial in securing this landmark deal. “Initially, they were interested in an apartment, so we presented them with three options before identifying and recommending the Sea Mirror villa as the ideal fit. It offered the space, functionality, and prestigious location they sought. The unparalleled design and amenities at Sea Mirror truly elevated the property, presenting them with a unique opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind Dubai residence,” he explained.
