About Emaar Beachfront
The heart of modern Dubai and home to the world's most iconic skyline
Emaar Beachfront is Emaar Properties’ flagship private beachfront masterplan within Dubai Harbour – a gated island community positioned exactly halfway between Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR). The masterplan comprises 27 residential towers delivering 10,000 units, a 1.5 km exclusive private beach, a 13,000 sqm retail mall, a yacht club, infinity pools, and a waterfront promenade. Launched in phases from 2017, Emaar Beachfront has consistently appreciated since launch across all towers with a clear 3-tier pricing architecture in 2025-2026: value resale (Sunrise Bay Tower 2 at AED 2,725-2,774/sqft), premium ready (Grand Bleu Tower 1 at AED 4,495/sqft), and branded off-plan (Bayview 1-beds at AED 4,638-5,078/sqft and 2-beds at AED 6,404-7,140/sqft).
Strategic Location
Halfway between Palm Jumeirah and JBR within Dubai Harbour - direct Sheikh Zayed Road access, 30 minutes to Dubai International Airport, 10 minutes to Dubai Marina, and 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai.
World-Class Infrastructure
1.5 km exclusive private beach, 13,000 sqm retail mall, yacht club and Dubai Harbour marina (largest marina in the MENA region), infinity pools, waterfront promenade, Dubai International Boat Show venue, and direct Sheikh Zayed Road access.
High Rental Demand
5-7% gross yield with 1-bed apartments renting AED 150,000-178,000/year on long-term leases and AED 500-900/night on STR. Dubai Harbour's cruise terminal and marina drive high tourism occupancy, and the community's private beach exclusivity sustains a 15-20% rent premium over comparable JBR and Dubai Marina units without beach access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about investing in Emaar Beachfront
Emaar Beachfront spans a 3-tier pricing range in 2025-2026: value resale at AED 2,725-2,774/sqft (Sunrise Bay Tower 2), mid-premium resale at AED 3,300-4,495/sqft (Marina Vista, Beach Mansion, Grand Bleu), and branded off-plan at AED 4,638-7,140/sqft (Bayview). Bonne Apart Market Pulse forecasts a blended community average of AED 2,331/sqft in Q1 2026 rising to AED 2,479/sqft in Q4 2026 (+6.7%). In absolute terms: 1-beds from AED 1.8M (Sunrise Bay resale) to AED 3.54M (Bayview branded off-plan); 2-beds from AED 3M to AED 8.7M (Bayview); 3-beds from AED 5M; 4-beds up to AED 40M+.
Gross rental yield is 5-7% depending on tower and acquisition price. 1-bedroom apartments rent AED 150,000-178,000/year on LTR (Property Finder avg AED 147,545; Bayut avg AED 163,806; Marina Vista tower-specific AED 145,734). STR gross yield is 8-10% for professionally managed furnished units at AED 500-900/night with 70-80% occupancy. Q2 2026 ROI is forecast at 7.0% by Bonne Apart Market Pulse. Net yield after service charges (AED 18-22/sqft) is approximately 4.5-6.0%.
Emaar Beachfront’s 27 towers include: Sunrise Bay (Towers 1-2, 26-storey twin towers, 450 units, most affordable resale entry); Marina Vista (Towers 1-2, sea and marina views, 1-4 beds); Beach Vista (Towers 1-2, Beach Isle location, panoramic sea views); Grand Bleu Tower (Towers 1-2, Elie Saab-designed interiors, premium finishes, Palm Jumeirah views); Beach Mansion (Tower 1, flanked by 750m of white beach, 1-4 beds); Palace Beach Residence (branded hotel residences, avg AED 4.26M); Seapoint (Emaar’s newest premium tower, avg AED 5.65M); and Bayview by Address (branded off-plan, most premium tier, AED 4,638-7,140/sqft DLD transactions). Additional towers include Address Beach Resort and further residential phases.
Bayview by Address is Emaar’s most premium off-plan tower at Emaar Beachfront – a branded Address Hotels residences project commanding the highest per-sqft prices in the community. DLD transactions in January-February 2026 recorded 1-bed units at AED 3.54M (AED 4,638/sqft) and 2-bed units at AED 8.70M (AED 6,404-7,140/sqft). The Address brand premium delivers furnished hotel-serviced residences with full STR management, branded pools, spa, and F&B facilities. Bayview is setting the new price ceiling for the entire Emaar Beachfront community and re-rating adjacent tower valuations.
Yes. Emaar Beachfront is a fully designated freehold community within Dubai Harbour, allowing all nationalities to purchase with full ownership rights. Properties are registered with the Dubai Land Department. All purchases above AED 2M qualify for the UAE Golden Visa – and virtually all Emaar Beachfront units exceed this threshold.
Emaar Beachfront and JBR are Dubai’s two premium beachfront apartment communities, but with critical differences. JBR is established, more affordable (AED 2,200-2,800/sqft), and offers a vibrant public beach and retail promenade. Emaar Beachfront is newer, more exclusive (AED 2,725-7,140/sqft depending on tier), and offers a private beach completely inaccessible to non-residents. Emaar Beachfront commands a 15-20% rental premium over JBR for this reason. For STR, Emaar Beachfront’s private beach drives higher ADR; for affordability and established liquidity, JBR leads. For long-term appreciation, Emaar Beachfront’s Bayview ceiling-setting transactions suggest a stronger upward trajectory.
Dubai Harbour is the master project surrounding Emaar Beachfront – a 20 million sqft maritime hub between Palm Jumeirah and JBR that includes the largest marina in the MENA region (1,100+ berths), a cruise terminal capable of receiving the world’s largest ships, Dubai International Boat Show venue, Jumeirah and Westin hotels, a helipad, and commercial and retail facilities. Dubai Harbour transforms Emaar Beachfront from a standalone residential community into a fully integrated maritime lifestyle hub. The Boat Show annually draws 30,000+ visitors directly to the community’s doorstep, driving peak STR demand and premium ADRs each November.
By profile: Best yield entry – Sunrise Bay Tower 2 (AED 2,725/sqft, 5.5-6.5% gross yield, highest resale volume); Best total ROI – Beach Mansion (AED 3,700-3,900/sqft, 750m of beach frontage, strong appreciation trajectory); Best lifestyle premium – Grand Bleu Tower 1 (AED 4,495/sqft, Elie Saab interiors, Palm Jumeirah and sea views, strong STR profile); Best appreciation upside – Bayview by Address (off-plan, AED 4,638-7,140/sqft, Address brand, future delivery, re-rating the community ceiling); Best branded hotel return – Palace Beach Residence (hotel-serviced, avg AED 4.26M, managed STR with Address brand).
Emaar Beachfront’s long-term outlook is anchored by four permanent structural advantages: the 1.5 km private beach cannot be replicated or extended; Dubai Harbour’s marina and cruise terminal create year-round tourism and event demand; Emaar’s brand and delivery record ensure ongoing quality maintenance and community activation; and Bayview’s AED 6,404-7,140/sqft DLD transactions confirm the community ceiling is still moving upward in early 2026. Bonne Apart Market Pulse forecasts AED 2,479/sqft by Q4 2026 with 7.0% ROI and 92.5% average occupancy. With 1-bed LTR rents rising toward AED 180,000/year and STR ADRs sustained by Boat Show and tourism events, analysts project 8-12% annual capital appreciation through 2028 for mid-tier towers and 12-15% for Bayview off-plan buyers from current entry.
