Aquamarine Beach Residences
One- and two-bedroom beach apartments on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, listed by Sobha from AED 1.53 million on 12 November 2026, on a 10/50/40 plan with completion expected in mid-2028.
What works
- 10% deposit, lower than the 20% asked at several neighbouring beach clusters
- Some one-bedroom layouts include yards of about 150 sq ft
- Completion expected in June 2028, with construction recorded as under way since November 2024
What to weigh
- 50% falls due during construction and 40% at handover, so the lower deposit is offset by larger later payments
- Listing sizes of up to 1,029 sq ft for two-bedroom units do not appear in Sobha's published floor plans; check the plan for the specific unit
- Two-bedroom prices come from Property Finder; Sobha publishes only a project range
Capeside Marina Residences
One- to three-bedroom marina apartments on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, with larger layouts than the earlier marina clusters. Property Finder lists them from AED 1.98 million, due June 2030.

- Larger layouts than the earlier marina clusters, with maid's rooms in every three-bedroom plan.
- Marina-front position described by Sobha, close to the planned promenade and yacht club.
- 40% of the price is held until completion on the published 20/40/40 plan.
What to weigh
- Not on Sobha's current sales listing and no starting price on its page; availability and prices rest on Property Finder and must be confirmed with Sobha.
- Completion is listed for June 2030, one of the latest dates on the island.
- One-bedroom pricing of roughly AED 2,100 to 2,750 per sq ft is high for Umm Al Quwain.
