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.

Dubai Islands today

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

Prices and plan

One-bedrooms start at AED 3,007,828 in Meriva Gardens A, and three-bedrooms in Meriva Shores start at AED 6.74M. The plan is 70/30 with handover in Q2 2030, and ownership is freehold for all nationalities. We sell these at zero commission.

AED 3.01M – 9.63M

That is the range across the live list, from a one-bedroom in Meriva Gardens A to a three-bedroom in Meriva Shores B, on a 70/30 payment plan with handover in Q2 2030. Ownership is freehold to all nationalities. Meriva Signature, the 11 beachfront penthouses, is a separate product priced from around AED 35M.

What sits on site

An Ellington Hotel and a private beach sit on site, with a jazz club that has a grand piano and a library. The fitness pavilion holds yoga and Pilates studios, saunas, steam rooms and treatment rooms.

Residents also have an indoor lap pool, an adults' infinity pool, an underwater-themed children's play area, a private cinema, a games room, a podcast room and a lagoon water feature.

Meriva Signature

Eleven penthouses sit on the beach in a G+2 building of their own, in three- and five-bedroom layouts of 5,600 to 7,100 sq ft. Each has a private pool, and residents share a rooftop gym. Meriva Signature is priced from around AED 35M.

Why this project

Priced building by building
An entry price for every bedroom count in every building, plus the floor ladder that sets everything above it — not one ‘from’ number for the whole collection.
Beachfront at apartment prices
A private beach, a hotel on site and a pedestrianised enclave, entered at AED 3.01M rather than at villa money.
Eighteen minutes to DXB
Most beachfront in Dubai sits 35 to 45 minutes from the airport. Dubai Islands sits inside twenty, with Downtown at 35 and DIFC at 30.
A developer that hands over
Ellington House II and Arbor View were handed over in May 2026 with no major snagging reported, and Ellington House I was letting about 28% above its market average.
The service charge is published
AED 18 per sq ft, worked through per unit type below, so the annual cost is known before you reserve rather than after handover.
Q2 2030, stated once
The developer’s own building documents give Q2 2030 for Meriva Sunset, Gardens and Shores alike. Any date you see between Q1 2030 and December 2031 does not come from Ellington.

The Meriva Collection Location

Dubai Islands sits off Deira, north of the creek. The five islands cover 17 sq km, with more than 20 km of beaches, over 60 km of waterfront and more than 80 hotels planned. Meriva takes a beachfront plot on Island B, home to the low-density residential clusters and to HADO by Beyond at Siora. Our guide to Dubai Islands covers the bridges, hotels and beaches.
