About This Project
The Meriva Collection is Ellington’s beachfront enclave on Dubai Islands. Five residential buildings sit on Island B, wrapped around waterways that run down to a private beach. A sixth building, Meriva Signature, holds 11 penthouses on the sand.
Meriva Sunset
The tower of the collection at G+20, with the widest range of layouts, from one-bedrooms to a four-bedroom penthouse.
Meriva Gardens A & B
The mid-rise pair at G+10 each. The mix leans to one-bedrooms, with larger dual-aspect homes and a four-bedroom penthouse.
Meriva Shores A & B
The low-rise pair at G+6, closest to the water. Shores holds most of the collection's three-bedrooms, including 29 corner homes.
The whole site is pedestrianised, with cars parked underground. Waterways connect every building, garden and amenity along a path to the beach. Ellington's architecture team shaped the buildings in curves, with layered terraces and cantilevers that step down toward the water.

The beaches on Dubai Islands are open, the marina network runs and the first hotels are trading. Dubai International is 18 minutes away.
