Why Singaporeans Are Expanding Beyond Orchard Road—And How Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah Are the UAE’s Top Picks for Profitable, Secure, and Effortless Global Property Investments

Let’s talk as friends who understand value and vision. If you’re reading this from Singapore—whether you’re a successful executive in Raffles Place, a family in Bukit Timah, or an entrepreneur ready for your next smart move—you know how limited, expensive, and competitive the local property scene has become. Rental yields in Singapore are shrinking, government rules keep shifting, and sometimes even a “good deal” doesn’t really deliver. That’s why Singaporeans are casting their eyes abroad—and right now, Dubai is in the spotlight.

At La Foret Real Estate, we work closely with Singaporean clients every month, helping them make their first foray into Dubai and UAE property investment. Whether you want a true “Plan B,” passive income, or a second home in the world’s most exciting city, this guide is your step-by-step, genuinely helpful resource.

Why Singapore Buyers Are Eyeing Dubai & the UAE

Here’s why Dubai and the UAE are a magnet for investors from Singapore:

  • No property or capital gains tax: In Dubai, all your rental and sales profits stay in your pocket—no annual property tax and no capital gains to pay.
  • Rental yields that put Singapore to shame: Dubai’s top communities deliver 7–9% net annual yields, compared to Singapore’s typical 2–3% for prime properties.
  • Full international ownership rights for Singaporeans: Singaporeans can own freehold in Dubai’s hottest zones, with clear English contracts, legal protection, and transparent buying processes.
  • A world-class lifestyle for all ages: International schools, world-renowned hospitals, iconic shopping, white-sand beaches, Michelin-starred dining—Dubai is a true global city, perfect for both work and family life.
  • Direct flights and world-class connections: With daily direct flights, Dubai is just seven hours from Changi—easy for business trips, family vacations, or even regular weekend escapes.
  • Smart diversification & global stability: Savvy Singaporeans know that real wealth means spreading your assets worldwide. Dubai is an ideal “Plan B” for financial security and global citizenship.

Where Singaporeans Are Investing in Dubai & the UAE

Singapore buyers are practical, value-driven, and global-minded. Here’s where our Singaporean clients are focusing their investments for both yield and long-term capital appreciation:

  • Dubai Hills Estate: A master-planned community with green parks, international schools, and modern villas—think of it as the Sentosa Cove of Dubai, but with more space and sunshine.
  • Al Barsha: Spacious, family-friendly homes with top amenities—perfect for Singaporean families who value comfort, quiet, and easy access to everything.
  • Palm Jumeirah: The ultimate in global luxury—private beaches, exclusive clubs, and properties that are always in demand.
  • Dubai Marina: Vibrant, urban, and ideal for rental income—great for young Singaporean professionals or anyone wanting strong ROI.
  • Downtown Dubai: Next to the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Mall, and the very heart of the city—similar to living next to Orchard or Marina Bay Sands.

Many Singaporeans are also keen on Dubai’s best new property launches for 2025 and off-plan investments—early buyers lock in the best prices and maximum capital appreciation.
