## Overview

Siniya Island lies just off the coast of Umm Al Quwain, the emirate between Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah. It is in Umm Al Quwain, not Dubai, and Dubai's property rules do not apply. [Sobha Realty](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/sobha-realty) is developing it as a single master plan reached by a 1.7 km bridge. Property Finder gives the project area as 16.1 million sq ft, and Gulf News reported at launch that about 40% of the land would be built on and the rest left open, with mangroves and wildlife habitat retained.

The plan combines beachfront villas of four to six bedrooms, mid-rise apartment buildings sold as Beach Residences and Marina Residences, an 18-hole golf course, a marina and yacht club, a clubhouse, a retail boulevard and resorts. Reports of the eventual scale vary: Gulf News cited 7,000 homes, and The National cited 500 villas and 7,000 apartments in the initial phase.

Sobha advertises apartments from AED 1.28 million and villas from AED 10.6 million. Sales are released building by building; Property Finder listed more than 20 separate Sobha projects on the island in November 2026, with completion dates running from 2028 for the first apartments and villas to 2030 for the newest marina buildings. Gulf News reported in October 2024 that the first phase was targeted for December 2027, so the schedule appears to have moved.

Sobha gives drive times of 50 minutes to Dubai, 30 minutes to Sharjah and 10 minutes to Al Marjan Island. The proximity to the Wynn resort is part of the pitch, but the island's value will depend mainly on whether Sobha delivers the golf course, marina and hotels that make it a destination.

## Who it suits

- Second-home buyers wanting a beach villa
- Long-horizon investors
- Buyers who rate Sobha's build quality

## Highlights

- A single established developer controls the whole island.
- Low density, with most of the land reported as left open.
- Marketed as freehold and listed as freehold on Property Finder.
- About 10 minutes from Al Marjan Island and 50 minutes from Dubai on the developer's figures.
- Apartments advertised from AED 1.28 million; villas from AED 10.6 million.

## Considerations

- Nothing has been handed over. There are no resale or rental comparables, and the earliest listed completions are in 2028.
- The first-phase target reported in 2024 was December 2027; listings now show 2028 to 2030.
- Everything that gives the island its value, the golf course, marina, hotels and shops, is still to be built by one company.
- More than 20 buildings are on sale at once, with thousands of apartments planned.
- We could not open an official Umm Al Quwain text on freehold zones, escrow or registration fees. Get these confirmed in writing.
- A single 1.7 km bridge is the road link to the mainland.

## Drive times

- Al Marjan Island: about 10 minutes
- Sharjah: about 30 minutes
- Dubai: about 50 minutes
