Solaya by Meraas introduces an exclusive residential address along the Jumeirah coastline in Dubai. Developed in collaboration with Brookfield Properties and designed by Foster + Partners and 1508 London, the project brings together contemporary architecture, carefully considered interiors and a beachfront setting.
The development is planned as a private collection of 234 residences across nine beachfront buildings. Its location in La Mer, within Jumeirah 1, places it close to Dubai’s coastal attractions, dining destinations and established residential neighbourhoods.
For buyers considering luxury beachfront properties in Dubai, Solaya offers a different proposition from the city’s high-rise residential districts. Its appeal centres on direct beach access, residential privacy, generous layouts and the relationship between indoor living spaces and the surrounding coastline.
Where Is Solaya Located?
Solaya is located in La Mer, Jumeirah 1, one of Dubai’s established coastal areas. The neighbourhood is known for its beachfront setting, hospitality destinations, restaurants and access to the wider Jumeirah district.
The project is positioned close to J1 Beach and other well-known coastal destinations. Downtown Dubai, DIFC and Dubai International Airport can be reached by road, although journey times depend on traffic and the route taken.
This location may appeal to buyers who want to combine a residential address near the sea with access to the city’s commercial and lifestyle districts.
Residences at Solaya by Meraas
Solaya offers a selection of larger residential formats, with published project information highlighting two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom residences, as well as specialised layouts and penthouses.
Classic Residences
Classic residences are designed around open-plan living, natural light and views of the surrounding coastline or city. Buyers can compare bedroom configurations, interior layouts, balcony space and the orientation of each unit.
Garden Residences
Selected garden residences are designed with private outdoor areas and pools. These layouts may appeal to buyers who value outdoor space and a closer connection with the landscaped surroundings.

The duplex options offer a multi-level layout with separate living and private areas. Buyers should review the floor plan to understand stair placement, room dimensions, privacy and how the interior connects with outdoor spaces.
Penthouses
The penthouses represent the development’s larger residential offering. Published project details highlight features such as private terraces, pools and dedicated spaces for leisure and entertaining. Specifications vary, so buyers should verify the details of the individual residence.
Beachfront Living and Lifestyle Facilities

- Spa and treatment rooms
- Residents’ lounge

The development is intended to balance privacy with access to the wider La Mer lifestyle. Buyers should confirm which facilities and services are included, whether any are subject to additional fees and the arrangements for beach access.
Why Consider Buying a Property in Solaya?
Solaya may appeal to buyers looking for a premium coastal home, a second residence in Dubai or a property in a limited beachfront residential setting.
Its location and residential format are important factors, but they should be assessed alongside the purchase price, ownership costs and long-term usability.
Consider the following before making a decision:
- Beach access: Confirm the exact access arrangements and any restrictions.
- View and orientation: Sea-facing, garden-facing and city-facing units may differ in price and appeal.
- Layout: Compare internal area, terrace size, bedroom configuration and storage.
- Privacy: Review the position of the residence in relation to shared facilities and neighbouring buildings.
- Service charges: Request the expected annual charges and understand what they cover.
- Rental considerations: If buying for investment, research comparable luxury rental properties in Jumeirah and nearby coastal locations.
Buying an Off-Plan Property at Solaya
If the residence is being purchased off-plan, buyers should review the contractual completion date, payment milestones, SPA, project registration and escrow information where applicable.
It is also important to distinguish between illustrative images and contractual specifications. Confirm the finishes, appliances, fittings, private outdoor features and any included services in writing.
