Facts last verified 12 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Emirate | [Dubai](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai) | | Area type | waterfront district | | Tenure | Freehold for all nationalities | | Also known as | Dubai Harbor, Emaar Beachfront | | Coordinates | 25.095, 55.14 | | Developments covered | 6 | ## Overview Dubai Harbour sits on reclaimed land on the seaward side of [Dubai Marina](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-marina), between [Palm Jumeirah](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/palm-jumeirah) and Bluewaters Island. Property Finder describes it as a development of more than 20 million sq ft, launched by Meraas and opened in 2021, built around a large yacht marina and two cruise terminals. Published berth counts differ: Property Finder's own pages give both 700 and more than 1,100. The residential heart is Emaar Beachfront, a gated island of apartment towers by [Emaar](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/emaar) with a private beach about 1.5 kilometres long. Its earlier towers (Beach Isle, Marina Vista, Beach Vista, Palace Beach Residence, Grand Bleu Tower) are complete and occupied, and later ones such as Seapoint, Bayview and The Bristol are scheduled between 2028 and 2029. Around it, other developers have taken the remaining plots. [DAMAC](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/damac) has DAMAC Bay and DAMAC Bay 2, designed with Cavalli. [Sobha](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) has SeaHaven. H&H has Dubai Harbour Residences. [Arada](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/arada), the developer best known for its Sharjah communities, has the three-tower W Residences at Dubai Harbour. Shamal Holding is selling The Dubai Beach EDITION Residences. Launch prices on Property Finder in November 2026 began at AED 3.7 million and most projects started well above that. The position is the selling point: open-sea and Palm views, a marina on the doorstep, and Dubai Marina and JBR five to ten minutes away. Buyers are largely second-home owners and investors targeting the top of the rental market. The district is not yet a neighbourhood in the everyday sense. Outside Emaar Beachfront much of it is still construction, and there is no metro or tram stop inside it. ## Who it suits - Second-home buyers wanting sea and marina views - Yacht owners - Buyers of branded residences - Investors in prime short-let stock ## Highlights - Sea-front position between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters, next to Dubai Marina - Large yacht marina and two cruise terminals - Emaar Beachfront's completed towers show what the finished district looks like - Dubai Marina, JBR and Palm Jumeirah about five to ten minutes by car - Freehold for all nationalities ## Considerations - At least eight projects are scheduled to complete between 2027 and the end of 2029, most of them large apartment towers aimed at the same buyer. - High entry prices: the lowest launch price among projects with developer stock on Property Finder in November 2026 was AED 3.7 million. - Beachfront and branded towers carry high service charges; ask each developer for the estimated figure in writing. - No metro or tram stop in the district. Property Finder puts the nearest Red Line stations about 10 minutes away by car. - Construction traffic and tower cranes will be part of the outlook from many apartments until the end of the decade. - Cruise-terminal and event traffic uses the same access roads as residents. ## Drive times - Dubai Marina: about 10 minutes - Palm Jumeirah: about 10 minutes - Mall of the Emirates: about 15 minutes - Dubai International Airport: about 25 minutes ## Developments in Dubai Harbour - [SeaHaven Sky Edition](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/sobha-seahaven-sky-edition): Sobha Realty; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2026; from AED 21,132,340 (as of 2026-11-12) - [Dubai Harbour Residences](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/dubai-harbour-residences): H&H Development; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; under construction; handover Q1 2028; from AED 3,900,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Bayview by Address Resorts](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/bayview-by-address-resorts): Emaar Properties; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2028; from AED 3,300,888 (as of 2026-11-13) - [DAMAC Bay 2 by Cavalli](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/damac-bay-2-by-cavalli): DAMAC Properties; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 8,886,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [DAMAC Bay by Cavalli](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/damac-bay-by-cavalli): DAMAC Properties; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; under construction; handover Q4 2028; from AED 3,939,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [Beach Mansion](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-harbour/beach-mansion): Emaar Properties; Dubai Harbour, Dubai; ready; handover Q4 2025; from AED 9,513,888 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [Dubai Marina](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-marina) - [Palm Jumeirah](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/palm-jumeirah) - [Jumeirah Lake Towers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/jumeirah-lake-towers) - [Palm Jebel Ali](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/palm-jebel-ali) ## Questions and answers ### Is Emaar Beachfront part of Dubai Harbour?
