Palma Development unveils Serenia District at Jumeirah Islands

It’s long been proven that strong social connections make people happier, healthier and even live longer. Despite that Dubai, home to the world’s tallest tower, luxury high-rises and exclusive enclaves, has few truly premium residential communities.

“With Dubai offering some of the most opulent residences in the world, the question isn’t about luxury alone but about creating a destination where people truly feel at home,” says Omar Derbas, Executive Director of Development and Engineering at Palma Development. “That vision is what led us to develop Serenia District—an urban sanctuary that balances sophistication with tranquillity.”

Set on Jumeirah Islands – a peaceful retreat that boasts 20km of scenic walkways and serene lakes with easy access to Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Uptown Dubai, and Emirates Living, Serenia District introduces an integrated community of six architecturally refined towers. Designed to offer an effortless fusion of contemporary elegance and natural beauty, this project is a statement in modern living.

Palma Development partnered with renowned Japanese architectural firm Nikken Sekkei to bring this vision to life. “Japanese design principles emphasise the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing nature to become part of everyday life,” explains Derbas. “At Serenia District, this translates into open layouts, water features, and thoughtfully curated aesthetics that create a sense of serenity.”

At the heart of Serenia District is the Serenia Signature Clubhouse, one of the six lifestyle zones. Spread across 100,000 square feet over four levels, the community hub features wellness spas, one of the largest residential gyms, indoor padel courts, curated retail experiences, and a panoramic infinity pool.

The remaining five lifestyle zones integrate nature into residents’ daily life, fostering community spirit, wellness and recreation. Set amid lush greenery, beautiful pathways and a cascading water feature, the pools, garden and barbecue area of the Health & Social zone offer the perfect setting to forge new bonds and revitalise old ones. The serene waters and greenery of the Wellness Retreat zone, along with the yoga decks, wellness lawn and meditation garden, provide an excellent backdrop for residents to reconnect with their bodies and minds. Nature Discovery is an immersive space for children with water play areas, treehouses, a lookout platform and a designated seating deck for parents to relax while keeping an eye on them.

“For us, Serenia District is not just about creating beautiful residences—it’s about cultivating a holistic lifestyle,” says Derbas. “This is a place where families, professionals, and individuals can find balance between urban energy and natural calm.”

With a prime location, seamless connectivity, and a strong emphasis on design and well-being, Serenia District is more than just a residential project—it’s a statement of refined living. As Palma Development continues to shape Dubai’s high-end real estate landscape, Serenia District stands as a testament to its commitment to excellence.
