Off-Plan in Emaar Beachfront and Dubai Harbour

Off-plan projects in Emaar Beachfront are all apartments, from AED 3,100,000 as of October 2026, and the neighbouring Dubai Harbour starts from AED 2,895,000. Emaar Beachfront and Dubai Harbour are the top of the waterfront market: genuine beach and marina frontage, on reclaimed land between the Marina and Palm Jumeirah. They are priced accordingly.

Emaar Beachfront is a gated island community launched by Emaar in 2018, between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah and close to JBR and Bluewaters. It sits within Dubai Harbour, which is why the two are covered together here.

What is available

These are two of the projects we broker across the two districts, with sizes. The full list for each is further down.

We only quote a handover date where the developer has published one. Developer schedules move between releases, and we would rather get the current one in writing for the project you are actually buying.

What you are actually paying for

Beach access you can walk to, and a view that in the right unit cannot be built out. Those two things are the premium, and they are the two things to verify rather than assume. A "sea view" from a low floor behind another tower is not the same asset as an unobstructed one, and the price difference between them is often smaller than it should be.

What to check

• Is the view protected? Ask what is consented on the plots between you and the water.
• Which way does it face? West facing balconies here are unusable for part of the year for some people, and the sunset for others.
• Service charges, including any beach or marina levy. These are among the highest in the city.
• Short let rules for the building. If your plan is holiday letting, confirm it is permitted before you buy, not after.
• What else completes nearby in the same twelve months. Your rent and your resale price are set by the units delivered alongside yours, not by the brochure.
• What the view is actually of, and whether it survives. A park or water view is durable. A view across an empty plot is not.

What are Emaar's other off-plan projects in Dubai?

Emaar sells off-plan across many communities, not just the waterfront. If you want the developer rather than the location, start with our Emaar developer guide, see where each community stands in Emaar communities compared, and read how Emaar payment plans work. For everything Emaar currently sells with us, see the Emaar developer page.

Are there off-plan villas, townhouses, penthouses or studios in Emaar Beachfront?

Every off-plan project we list in Emaar Beachfront and Dubai Harbour today is an apartment project. None is a villa or townhouse project. Large units and penthouses do appear within some buildings, which is why sizes in the tables above run from compact homes to very large ones, but ask for the specific unit rather than assuming. For off-plan villas and townhouses, look at our guide to off-plan townhouses and villas.

Is there anything ready to move into?

Off-plan means the building is not finished, so the answer depends on the project. Emaar Beachfront now has some delivered towers alongside those still being built, so resale and ready apartments exist in the community. Ask us what is available as a ready home, and check each project's handover in writing.

Emaar Beachfront vs Port de la Mer

Both are waterfront, but they are different places. Emaar Beachfront is a gated island community by Emaar between the Marina and Palm Jumeirah, with towers, a marina next door and views over the Gulf. Port de la Mer is a Meraas development on the La Mer peninsula in Jumeirah, a Mediterranean inspired neighbourhood beside the La Mer promenade. Beachfront suits buyers who want tall towers and skyline views. Port de la Mer suits those who prefer a village style setting on the Jumeirah coast. Check our La Mer page and compare the current prices yourself, since they differ by project.
