Key points

A Private Beachfront Enclave in Jumeirah 1

Solaya sits on a privileged stretch of beachfront in Jumeirah 1, surrounded by renowned hotels, beach clubs and restaurants. Gated residences open directly onto the beach, curated gardens lead to the Beach Park, and J1 Beach next door brings a Riviera-inspired lifestyle just minutes from the heart of Dubai.

Architecture by Foster + Partners

Solaya is designed by Foster + Partners, the studio behind the Reichstag dome, 30 St Mary Axe in London and Apple Park. Its nine low-rise buildings are carefully angled so every residence captures the sea, the city skyline or the beach, while interiors by 1508 London bring open-plan layouts, high ceilings and natural light that flows onto terraces and into the gardens.
