MAREA Residences on Dubai Islands

MAREA Residences is a beachfront residential development on Dubai Islands by Sharafi Development. It offers 1–3 bedroom apartments and penthouses with European-style finishes, private jacuzzi terraces, and hotel-grade amenities. The project is currently off-plan with a scheduled Q3 2027 handover.

MAREA Residences is situated on Dubai Islands, a coastal master development positioned off the Deira shoreline in Dubai. The location provides direct beach access and sits within a growing leisure and hospitality district that includes upcoming hotels, marinas, and waterfront retail.

Prices at MAREA Residences start from AED 2,600,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Units range from 1,246 sq ft for one-bedroom layouts up to 3,574 sq ft for three-bedroom penthouses, with pricing reflecting the beachfront position and premium specification throughout.

MAREA Residences offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments starting from 1,246 sq ft, as well as two-bedroom and three-bedroom penthouses with layouts reaching up to 3,574 sq ft. All units include high ceilings, spa-inspired bathrooms, and private terraces with jacuzzis.

The payment plan is structured as 40/30/30 — 40% paid during construction, 30% on handover, and the remaining 30% spread over two years post-handover. The booking fee to secure a unit is 10%, making the entry commitment relatively manageable for an off-plan beachfront property.

MAREA Residences is scheduled for handover in Q3 2027. The project is currently under development by Sharafi Development, and the post-handover payment window extends two years beyond that date, giving buyers additional flexibility after receiving their keys.

Projected rental yields for MAREA Residences sit at 7–8%, driven by limited beachfront supply on Dubai Islands and strong demand for short-stay and holiday rental units. Comparable branded seafront properties in the area have reportedly delivered returns of 8–10% post-handover.

Property ownership at MAREA Residences may qualify buyers for a UAE 10-year Golden Visa, subject to meeting the minimum investment threshold set by UAE authorities. With prices starting at AED 2,600,000, the investment level is well above the AED 2,000,000 property visa requirement, making most units eligible.
