Area Overview
Description
Port de La Mer dominates the historic Jumeirah 1 coastline as a breathtaking, Mediterranean-inspired waterfront mega-community brilliantly master-planned by Meraas. Functioning as the ultra-luxury residential arm of the wider La Mer beachfront destination, it flawlessly delivers premium low-rise apartments (1 to 5 bedrooms) intensely clustered across phases like La Cote, La Rive, and La Voile, supplemented by the elite Sur La Mer townhouses. The entire masterplan flawlessly wraps around a colossal 190-berth marina and sprawling pedestrian promenade. Crucially, Port de La Mer is a strictly unrestricted freehold community—an absolute rarity in Jumeirah 1—granting global buyers pure private beach access. Located intensely close to Downtown Dubai and the DIFC (roughly a 10-minute drive), it completely corners the market for Mediterranean coastal luxury.
