Property Location
is Dubai Islands
Dubai Islands is a modern coastal area consisting of five interconnected artificial islands. The cluster is located in the north-east of the emirate, opposite the historic Deira. The destination is developed by Nakheel and is an important part of the Dubai Urban Master Plan 2040. The area offers a relaxing resort atmosphere, and attracts visitors due to its proximity to the city centre. It takes about 20 minutes to get to Dubai International Airport and about half an hour to Downtown Dubai with all its sights.
The archipelago is connected to the mainland by bridges via Deira, as well as direct exits to Sheikh Zayed Road and Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. The location is designed as an autonomous environment with developed infrastructure and a high level of comfort. Due to the favourable blend of urbanism, natural beauty, and rapidly expanding services, property at Dubai Island is an optimal option for those looking for a balance between tranquillity by the sea and proximity to a dynamic urban landscape.
The district features wide promenades stretching over 20 kilometres, vast territories of well-maintained beaches, parks, cycling and walking routes. One of the central elements is Dubai Islands Mall, a shopping and entertainment centre currently under construction with boutiques, restaurants, cinemas and family zones. Within a 10-15 minute drive are the famous malls of the mainland, such as City Centre Deira, Al Ghurair Centre and Deira Mall, offering dozens of international brands, food courts and entertainment.
The social infrastructure at Dubai Island is also well thought out. Within easy driving distance are Deira International School, The Westminster School, Dubai International School, as well as leading clinics and hospitals in Deira, including Dubai Hospital and NMC Medical Centre Deira. Leisure and sports facilities are actively developing on the archipelago with golf courses, coastal yoga areas, marinas, beach clubs, cultural spaces, museums and art venues. There are plans to build concert halls and theme parks, which will further strengthen the location's status as the emirate's new resort centre. Within walking distance are fine dining restaurants, cafés and boutiques offering a coastal lifestyle with panoramic views of the sea and the city skyline.
In terms of convenience and infrastructure, Dubai Island is one of the most sought-after destinations for buying property in Dubai. Everything in the district meets the highest standards and is designed for a comfortable lifestyle — from transport links and well-maintained beaches to a developed social environment and world-class entertainment.

Why Invest in Real Estate
at Dubai Islands?
The investment benefits of buying property at MAREA Residences at Dubai Islands are based on the rarity of the format and the strong anchors of the location. This is a low-rise club home on the coast, literally 100 metres from the beach and opposite the entrance to Dubai Islands Mall. The exceptional combination of ‘sea & shopping’ acts as a double driver of liquidity: the apartments are suitable for everyday living and, at the same time, for short-term year-round rentals.
Among other things, the project incorporates Sharafi Development's ‘hotel DNA’: a five-star hotel-level lobby and service, an infinity pool, a spa and wellness studio, as well as access to the infrastructure of the coastal hotel currently under construction. This provides owners of apartments at MAREA Residences at Dubai Islands with premium user value and allows them to maintain above-market rental rates through service and resort atmosphere.
The layout matrix also works for the economy. Exceptionally large 1- and 2-bedroom residences are suitable for long-term family scenarios, while penthouses with private pools form a limited collection, a classic catalyst for resale prices. View corridors to the Burj Khalifa and the Dubai skyline enhance the appeal of the upper floors and create optional scenarios for increasing the value of property at Dubai Islands.
