Seaside living at Port de La Mer

Port de La Mer will be a Mediterranean-inspired community with a superyacht marina.

Meraas has revealed the first details of Port de La Mer, a new residential neighbourhood at La Mer. Located at the tip of the North Peninsula at La Mer, the world-class beachfront destination features a unique mix of shopping, dining, leisure, entertainment, hospitality and residential options. The Port de la Mer masterplan has been designed to offer a charming marina and waterfront lifestyle that appeals to families around the world.

The private residential community will comprise a stunning collection of one- to four-bedroom apartments with magnificent sea views, pastel-hued exteriors and verdant greenery that cascades down from each balcony to the rich blue marina beneath.

Boasting terracotta rooflines and whitewashed stonework, the tranquil waterfront will feature a range of fashionable boutiques and restaurants, set in bustling piazzas. It will also include a selection of four- and five-star hotels and a private beach.

Work is already underway on the first properties at Port de La Mer in an area called La Côte, comprising approximately 400 tastefully appointed apartments and a two-storey penthouse in an exclusive collection of five low-rise buildings. Each apartment will benefit from a contemporary design and spacious open-plan layouts, panoramic views of the sea and marina as well as quiet pedestrian streets.

Modern interior design philosophies will be applied throughout the apartments at Port de La Mer, evoking a refreshing sense of openness and individuality. The homes will maximise the use of natural light to capture the sunrise and sunset over the marina, while enhancing a feeling of connectedness between the indoor spaces and the panoramic sea views outside.

The buildings will integrate sleek, high-quality materials and endorse best-in-class international standards with meticulous attention to detail. The residences will combine modern architecture and interior design with a range of world-class amenities, including several large swimming pools, gyms, a private beach and a marina.

Given the health, happiness and relaxation benefits associated with living next to the sea, the marina will play a central role in promoting Port de La Mer as a retreat from modern-day life.

With excellent road and sea connections, yacht owners will be able to take in the spectacular coastline at their leisure, while residents can reach one of Dubai’s famous shopping malls or board a flight to over 240 destinations in no time at all. Residences at Port de La Mer are in proximity to La Mer and just 10 minutes from City Walk, a design-inspired open-air lifestyle destination by Meraas.

It’s set for completion in Q4 2020.
