One, two and three-bedroom apartments at Sunset Bay 5, Dubai Islands
Sunset Bay 5 at Dubai Islands is a residential building by Imtiaz Developments. It holds 62 apartments: 28 one-bedroom homes from 965 sq ft, 32 two-bedroom homes from 1,400 sq ft and 2 three-bedroom homes from 2,009 sq ft. Imtiaz lists the homes as fully furnished. The building rises over a ground floor, two podium levels and eight residential floors, with a rooftop infinity pool, a clubhouse and a gym. The payment plan is 60/40 and completion is October 2027.
Imtiaz's line for the project is "Your gateway to island living". Its brochure describes panoramic sea views, European-crafted finishes and a shoreline setting, and places the building steps from the beach and from parks.
A small building. With 62 homes over eight floors, the first six floors each carry eight apartments. Residents share the pool, the gym and the clubhouse with a few dozen households. On Imtiaz's own counts, two-bedroom homes are the largest group in the building, at 32 of 62.
Furnished at handover. Imtiaz's brochure lists the apartments as fully furnished. For a buyer who plans to let the home, furniture is one less cost and one less job between handover and the first tenant.
Construction is under way. The Dubai Land Department inspected the site on 9 July 2026 and recorded it at 32.62% complete, against a planned completion of 15 October 2027. Imtiaz gives completion as October 2027 on both its factsheet and its payment plan.
Nearby
Sunset Bay 5 is on Dubai Islands. Imtiaz prints the name on every page of its brochure, on the factsheet and payment plan, and on both location maps, which carry the heading "Located in Dubai Islands".
The first of the two maps sets the building on the Dubai Islands masterplan. The second is a satellite view. Between them they plot the project against the Arabian Gulf and these landmarks:
- Al Mamzar Beach Park
- Dubai Islands Mall by Nakheel
- Waterfront Market
- Hyatt Regency
- Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa and The Dubai Mall
- DIFC
- La Mer Beach
- Jumeirah Mosque
- Dubai International Airport
- Ras Al Khor Wildlife Sanctuary
Every landmark above is as plotted on Imtiaz's two Sunset Bay 5 location maps.
Imtiaz's brochure lists the building's position among its branded features: steps away from the beach, close to the malls and steps away from parks. Its brochure copy describes panoramic sea views.
The layout of the island, its beaches and the wider Nakheel masterplan are covered in our Dubai Islands investment guide. Every project we publish on the island is listed on the Dubai Islands projects page.
Prices
The payment plan is 60/40. You pay 20% on booking and a further 40% in five instalments during construction. The last 40% falls due on completion, which Imtiaz gives as October 2027. The full schedule is set out below.

Homes
Imtiaz builds three home types at Sunset Bay 5, and the floor plans draw five layouts between them.
One-bedroom, 28 homes, from 965 sq ft. The floor plans draw two layouts, labelled 1B-T1 and 1B-T2. The one-bedroom homes are the entry point in the building.
Two-bedroom, 32 homes, from 1,400 sq ft. Again two layouts, labelled 2B-T1 and 2B-T2. The two-bedroom homes make up just over half the building.
Three-bedroom, 2 homes, from 2,009 sq ft. One layout, 3B-T1. The floor plans place one on the seventh floor and one on the eighth, the top two residential floors. With two in the building, they are the scarcest homes at Sunset Bay 5.
The first six residential floors share one typical plan of eight apartments, mixing the one and two-bedroom layouts. The seventh and eighth floors carry their own plan, which adds the three-bedroom home.
Imtiaz lists every apartment as fully furnished, and its brochure describes European-crafted finishes. The sizes above are the minimum size Imtiaz prints for each type on its factsheet.
