Discover Port de La Mer, Dubai
Port de La Mer is a gated, freehold waterfront community on a private peninsula at the northern end of La Mer in Jumeirah 1, developed by Meraas. Meraas launched it as the first residential community at La Mer. The peninsula faces Pearl Jumeirah across the water and looks back towards the Dubai skyline. The community is made up of seven residential neighbourhoods, which Meraas has planned as a car-light district with controlled vehicle access.
The design takes its cues from Mediterranean harbour towns, so the community has low-rise buildings of five to seven floors, pedestrian squares, bridges and tree-lined promenades. The Port de La Mer marina has berths for approximately 190 yachts and its own yacht club. Residents also have private beach access, swimming pools and gyms within each complex, family parks, playgrounds and a waterfront strip of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants. Gran Meliá La Mer, a 380-room beach resort, is due to open on the peninsula in 2027.
The community features waterfront apartments in Jumeirah, Dubai, as well as duplexes, penthouses and townhouses:
- La Côte: five buildings with 408 apartments, ranging from about 1,088 sq. ft. to 3,045 sq. ft.
- La Rive and La Voile: larger 3 to 5-bedroom homes inspired by Porto Montenegro
- La Sirène, Le Pont and Le Ciel: Port de La Mer 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, with larger duplex layouts
- Sur La Mer: 147 Italian-inspired beachfront townhouses with 3 to 5 bedrooms, measuring approximately 3,705 sq. ft. to 6,849 sq. ft.
The majority of Port de La Mer apartments for sale have terraces overlooking the marina or the Arabian Gulf.
Daily life combines island privacy with quick access to central Dubai. J1 Beach is a few minutes’ walk from the residential buildings, and Mercato Mall is about 11 minutes away. City Walk can be reached within a 12-minute drive, and Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa are approximately 15 minutes from the community. Jumeirah Street (D94) links the peninsula to Al Wasl Road and Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), which lead to DIFC, Dubai Marina and Dubai International Airport.
