Passo at Palm Jumeirah

Passo is a two-tower beachfront development by BEYOND Developments on the West Crescent of Palm Jumeirah, fronting 250 metres of private white-sand beach. The two buildings, Avita and Bella, are described as mirror images of one another, each rising to fifteen storeys over two basement parking levels. Handover is stated as Q3 2029.

What the availability list actually shows

Most coverage of Passo quotes a starting price and stops. We were given the developer’s availability list dated 7 September 2026 — 48 released units across both towers, each with its floor area, its orientation and its price. That is enough to do the thing a starting price cannot: work out what you are actually paying for.

Across those 48 units the median rate is about AED 6,200 per square foot, in a range from AED 4,727 to AED 7,772. Prices run from AED 4.15 million for an 877 sq ft one-bedroom to AED 98.29 million for a 12,646 sq ft six-bedroom beachfront mansion on the ground floor of Avita. Every rate on this page is our own calculation from that list; BEYOND publishes no price per square foot.

At Passo, the view is the price

Each unit on the list carries an orientation, and sorting by it produces the clearest finding on this page. Four tiers, same two buildings:

A Beach Elite unit costs 37 per cent more per square foot than one facing back towards the city. But a sceptic could argue that is really a size effect, since the larger homes tend to get the better aspect. So here is the same comparison holding the unit type constant — two-bedroom apartments only:

The Skyline two-beds are marginally larger than the Beach Elite ones and cost 35 per cent less per square foot. Size is not doing the work here. The view is. That is a rational way to price a beachfront building, and it is stated plainly enough in the data that a buyer can decide for themselves whether the water is worth a third more — which is a decision most Dubai price lists never let you see clearly enough to make.

The cheapest way in faces away from the sea

The entry price of AED 4.15 million buys an 877 sq ft one-bedroom in Avita with a Dubai City aspect — that is, looking back over the water towards the mainland skyline rather than out to open Gulf. It is the lowest rate per foot in the release at AED 4,727. Whether that reads as a bargain or as the wrong flat depends entirely on why you are buying: it is the cheapest entry to a Palm Jumeirah beachfront address, and it is also the unit least exposed to the thing the address is famous for.

Note too that the rate ladder runs upward with size here — one-beds at a median AED 5,135, two-beds at AED 6,020, three-beds at AED 6,827, and the six-bedroom mansion at AED 7,772. That is the reverse of the pattern we found at Sobha Sanctuary and at Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living, where the smallest homes carried the dearest square foot. The reason is the coupling above: 62 per cent of the three-beds carry a Beach Elite aspect against 23 per cent of the two-beds. At Passo you cannot buy space and view separately.

Two payment plans are circulating. Get yours in writing

The structure documented by independent listing sources is 10 per cent on booking, 50 per cent during construction and 40 per cent at handover — that is 60 per cent of the price paid before you hold the keys.

Broker campaigns in circulation in September 2026 advertise something materially different and better for the buyer: a limited-time 40/60 plan, 40 per cent during construction and 60 per cent on handover. We have not been able to confirm that variant against BEYOND’s own material. The difference between the two on an AED 8 million apartment is roughly AED 1.6 million of cash held back until completion, so it is not a detail. Ask which plan applies to your specific unit, get the schedule with dates on it, and do not rely on a campaign graphic.

The address

The West Crescent is the outer breakwater of Palm Jumeirah, facing open water rather than back into the island — which is precisely why orientation is priced so sharply here. The island itself has been lived in since 2007, so unlike most new UAE waterfront this is a finished place with operating hotels, restaurants and a monorail. Our Palm Jumeirah area guide covers how the trunk, the fronds and the crescent behave as three separate markets, and why the single causeway matters.

Before you commit

Ask for the orientation of the specific unit in writing, not just the floor and the size — on this price list it is the single biggest driver of what you pay. Ask which payment plan applies and get the dated schedule. Ask for the escrow account number and confirm the DLD project registration. And check which legal entity signs your contract: Passo is reported as being developed through Estate Grand Real Estate Development rather than BEYOND or OMNIYAT directly.
