Anantara Sharjah Resort and Residences by Arada at Al Heerah, Sharjah

Arada | Al Heerah Beach, Sharjah

Anantara Arrives in Sharjah: Branded Beach Homes from AED 2.29M

Anantara Sharjah Resort and Residences brings one of Asia’s most admired hospitality names to Sharjah for the first time. Developed and owned by Arada and operated by Anantara, the luxury brand of Minor Hotels, the beachfront complex stands on the north-eastern edge of Al Heerah Beach, where the shoreline runs for some 3.5 kilometres along the Arabian Gulf.

The development pairs a 110 room and suite resort hotel with a private collection of 128 branded residences for sale: fully furnished one to four bedroom apartments and penthouses, each with a private balcony and panoramic views across the water. The architecture is defined by a signature gateway form designed to trace the path of the sun, an emblem for a project built around light and the sea.

Launch pricing for the residences started from AED 2,292,000 on a 45/55 payment plan, with completion anticipated in 2027. Owners enjoy the resort’s full service culture, and may lease their home through the Anantara Rental Management Scheme when away.

Project Highlights

Anantara Sharjah Resort and Residences at a Glance: The Key Facts

Residences

Fully Furnished Homes with the Gulf at the Window

The 128 residences are delivered fully furnished to Anantara brand standards, with high-end design, signature touches and finishes in line with the brand. Layouts run from one bedroom apartments of 1,012 sq ft (around 94 sqm) to four bedroom penthouses of up to 8,450 sq ft (around 785 sqm), the largest of them crowned with rooftop pools. Every home has a private balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, high-quality flooring, stylish work surfaces and premium white goods, with smart home features fitted as standard.

Within the resort grounds, ownership carries a hotel’s ease: concierge, valet and private butler services, alongside 24-hour security, housekeeping and maintenance. Homes work equally well as a primary residence, a beach retreat, or a managed asset under the Anantara Rental Management Scheme.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Resort Days, Every Day: The Anantara Standard

Residents share the world of the resort: a private sandy beach on Al Heerah’s 3.5 kilometre shoreline, an expansive infinity pool and landscaped pools with water features, and a manmade pier reaching into the Gulf. Wellness is served by the Anantara Spa and his and hers fitness centres. Five restaurants and bars include a café lounge in the soaring atrium lobby, a poolside eatery, al fresco beachfront dining, a specialty restaurant celebrating local flavours and Mekong, the signature pan-Asian restaurant. A flexible 400 sqm meeting space and outdoor venues host celebrations, while a nursery and children’s play areas look after younger residents.

Location & Connectivity

On Al Heerah Beach, Between Sharjah’s Culture and Dubai’s Skylines

The resort and residences stand on the north-eastern edge of Al Heerah Beach, in Sharjah’s Al Rifa’ah district, fronting the Arabian Gulf. Al Heerah is Sharjah’s established beachfront strip, and the development’s 3.5 kilometre shoreline is among the longest of any residential address in the emirate.

Sharjah, the UAE’s cultural capital, puts its museums, souqs and the heritage lanes of the Heart of Sharjah within easy reach, while Expo Centre Sharjah sits a short drive inland. Both airports are close: Sharjah International around a quarter of an hour away, Dubai International around half an hour by road.

Floor Plans

Anantara Sharjah Residences Floor Plans and Layout Types

A variety of floor plans runs through each bedroom count, so buyers can choose between outlook, orientation and size. One bedroom residences start from 1,012 sq ft (around 94 sqm); two bedroom layouts are published from around 1,895 sq ft (around 176 sqm); three bedroom layouts from around 2,878 sq ft (around 267 sqm); and the four bedroom penthouses reach up to 8,450 sq ft (around 785 sqm), with rooftop pools at the crown of the building.

Every layout is planned around the sea: living spaces and principal bedrooms face the Gulf, floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light, and each residence opens onto a private balcony. Dimensioned plans sit in the developer’s sales documentation; confirm the exact area and position of a chosen unit before reserving.

Master Plan

One Gateway Building, Two Ways to Belong

The master plan unites hotel and homes in a single resort complex. The Anantara Sharjah Resort holds 110 guest rooms and suites of 45 to 120 sqm, with luxury penthouse suites on the upper floors of the hotel side, five restaurants, the Anantara Spa, fitness centres and 400 sqm of meeting space. Alongside it, the 128 residences give owners a permanent stake in the same address, sharing the beach, pools, pier, gardens and dining venues.

The signature gateway architecture, designed to follow the path of the sun, gives the complex its identity on the Sharjah skyline, while lush landscaping and water features soften the grounds between building and beach. For Arada, the project extends a portfolio anchored by Aljada and Masaar into Sharjah’s premium beachfront, and marks Minor Hotels’ first Anantara address in the emirate.

Investment Perspective

Sharjah’s First Anantara Address: A Branded Beachfront Proposition

Branded residences pair private ownership with the service, management and rental infrastructure of a global hotel group, and this is the format’s most prominent arrival in Sharjah to date. The collection is limited to 128 homes, the operator is Anantara, and the setting is a genuine Al Heerah beachfront, where new freehold supply is scarce.

The income route is built in: owners may place their residence in the Anantara Rental Management Scheme, letting the hotel lease and manage the home with its own guest demand behind it. Sharjah’s visitor economy keeps growing on culture, Expo Centre events and beach tourism, and Dubai, around half an hour to its airport, broadens the guest base. Purchases from AED 2 million can support eligibility for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa under the prevailing rules, a threshold every residence in the collection clears.

As with any off-plan purchase, values and rental returns are not guaranteed, and branded residences carry service charges that reflect their hotel operation. Investors should review the sales and purchase agreement, the rental scheme terms and the escrow arrangements, and take independent advice before committing.
