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
Starline Beach Residences
Four beach towers on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain with one- to three-bedroom homes, listed by Sobha from AED 1.67 million on 12 November 2026 and due for completion in mid-2029.
What works
- Wide unit mix in one cluster, from about 511 sq ft one-bedroom flats to three-bedroom homes of over 2,000 sq ft
- Three-bedroom layouts include a study, maid's room and powder room, which suits full-time family use
- Four towers on the beach side of a single-developer island
What to weigh
- Sobha's entry price of AED 1.67 million is well above the AED 1.29 to 1.31 million still quoted in its FAQ and on Property Finder; confirm the current price for each unit
- Completion is expected in June 2029 according to Property Finder, with 40% due then
- Several other beach clusters on the island offer near-identical layouts, so resale and rental competition will be direct
