Meriva Shores by Ellington Properties at Dubai Islands, Dubai

Ellington Properties | The Meriva Collection, Island B, Dubai Islands

Twin Towers on White Sand, with the Sea as Your Front Garden

Meriva Shores by Ellington Properties is a beachfront residential address within The Meriva Collection on Island B of Dubai Islands, Ellington’s first hospitality led waterfront destination. The project comprises two low rise towers, Tower A and Tower B, each rising to ground plus six floors over a basement with a rooftop level, set in a pedestrianised enclave where winding watercourses link every building, garden and facility to the seafront promenade.

The Meriva Collection was launched by Ellington Properties on 10 February 2026, bringing together five premium residential buildings, a signature beachfront residence and a dedicated hotel, all with direct beach access. Meriva Shores is one of the collection’s four named residential components, alongside Meriva Signature, Meriva Sunset and Meriva Gardens, and it occupies the main beachfront part of the masterplan. Construction is reported to have been underway since February 2026, with handover scheduled for the second quarter of 2030.

Prices are reported from AED 2,700,000, with a 20/50/30 payment plan: 20 percent on booking, 50 percent during construction and 30 percent on handover. The collection is freehold, and collection level payments are reported to go to a Dubai Land Department registered escrow account.

Project Highlights

A Beachfront Pair Inside Ellington’s Island Collection

Residences

One to Three Bedroom Apartments and Penthouses by the Beach

The residential collection at Meriva Shores is reported at 179 homes: 92 residences in Tower A and 87 in Tower B. Most project specific sources list one, two and three bedroom apartments plus penthouses, with corner, study and dual aspect layouts available. Interiors follow Ellington’s design led approach, with natural textures, light timber cabinetry, a soft grey stone backsplash, a curved kitchen island clad in veined grey stone with a fine brass edge, and floor to ceiling glazing opening onto terraces facing the sea.

Reported sizes start from around 800 sq ft for one bedroom homes, from around 1,200 sq ft for two bedroom homes and from around 1,700 sq ft for three bedroom homes, with penthouses reported substantially larger. Reported tier prices are AED 2,700,000 for one bedroom homes, AED 3,800,000 for two bedroom homes and AED 5,900,000 for three bedroom homes at collection level, with penthouses on request. One portal quotes the two bedroom tier at AED 4,100,000 instead, so buyers should confirm the tier price at booking. Ceiling heights of 3.2 metres, smart home technology, built in European branded kitchen appliances and an allocated covered parking space per residence are reported across the collection.

Selected homes add laundry rooms and study rooms, and each building is reported to have three tenant lifts and two visitor lifts. The architecture treats each tower as a series of horizontal terraces, with thin overlapping sections, generous glazing and curved lines echoing a pebble shaped by the sea, so that light, breeze and outlook are shared across the building rather than reserved for a few floors.

Amenities and Lifestyle

Wellness, Play and Evening Life, Steps from the Sand

The amenity landscape at Meriva Shores runs across the ground floor, flowing from a wellness space into a play space and on to quiet gathering spaces, with the adults pool, sun loungers, barbecue spots and children’s pool set close to the private beach. Each tower has its own drop off zone, lobby entrance and reception, club lounge and common table, fitness studio, yoga and Pilates studio, changing rooms and kids playroom, while the wider collection adds a 2 km jogging track, sports facilities, wellness zones, a jazz club, coworking and food and beverage areas and a juice bar.

Location and Connectivity

Island B: Beachfront Calm, City Within Reach

Meriva Shores sits on Island B of Dubai Islands, the waterfront island destination off the Deira coast, where the collection’s private beach, landscaped promenades and shaded walkways form the everyday setting. Dubai Islands is building out steadily around its residents, with hotels, retail, dining and leisure filling in across the islands, so island living here is increasingly practical as well as scenic.

Road connections keep the city close: Dubai Islands Mall is reported five minutes away, Dubai International Airport and Dubai Festival City around 18 minutes, Port Rashid and the Dubai Gold Souq metro station around 20 minutes, the Museum of the Future around 25 minutes, DIFC around 30 minutes and Burj Khalifa around 35 minutes. Palm Jumeirah is reported around 45 minutes away. Drive times vary by source and traffic and should be treated as approximate.

Floor Plan

Meriva Shores Floor Plans and Home Types

Published layouts for Meriva Shores centre on open, terrace facing living spaces, with floor to ceiling glazing, study corners in selected homes and sea facing balconies as the recurring theme. Reported apartment sizes run from around 800 sq ft for one bedroom homes to around 1,700 sq ft for three bedroom homes at collection level, while the project specific page quotes apartments from 832.33 sq ft to 3,176.97 sq ft and penthouses from 4,169.69 sq ft to 4,648.11 sq ft. Other sources quote an overall range of 920 sq ft to 3,639 sq ft, and collection level penthouses are quoted at around 5,600 sq ft to 7,100 sq ft, so exact areas should be confirmed unit by unit.

Exact unit areas, floor positions, layouts and finish specifications should be confirmed against the developer’s detailed floor plans and sales documentation before purchase, as published figures vary by source.

Master Plan

Five Buildings, One Hotel and a Pedestrian Shoreline

The Meriva Collection masterplan is a pedestrian first enclave on Island B, where five residential buildings, a signature beachfront residence and a dedicated hotel are arranged around lush landscaped pathways, meandering waterways and intimate public spaces. Car traffic is limited, and residents move through the enclave on foot, along promenades and waterways, to the beach. The hotel, managed by a reputable hospitality operator, acts as the social and visual anchor at the heart of the masterplan, with retail, dining and leisure spaces supporting everyday life.

Meriva Shores occupies the main beachfront part of that masterplan, with its two towers set so that homes face the sea, the lagoon and the gardens. The collection totals a reported 903 residences across its components, and ownership is freehold. The low rise, low density character of Shores, at ground plus six floors, keeps its scale closer to a coastal retreat than to a high rise beachfront tower.

Pricing and Payment Plan

Meriva Shores Price and Payment Plan

Reported prices start from AED 2,700,000 for one bedroom homes, with two bedroom homes reported from AED 3,800,000 at collection level and three bedroom homes from AED 5,900,000, and penthouses on request. One portal quotes the two bedroom tier at AED 4,100,000 instead, so the tier price should be confirmed at booking. All prices here are reported, not taken from a published Ellington price list for Shores itself, and final prices change with availability, floor and view.

The payment plan is reported consistently as 20/50/30, also described by a 70/30 headline: 20 percent on booking, 50 percent during construction in staged instalments, and 30 percent on handover in the second quarter of 2030. Collection level payments are reported to go to a Dubai Land Department registered escrow account.

Buyers should confirm the final price, booking amount and installment schedule in the official sales documentation, as prices change with availability and floor.

Investment Perspective

Why Consider Meriva Shores on Dubai Islands?

Meriva Shores combines three things investors look for on Dubai Islands: an Ellington address inside an already launched, beachfront collection, a construction programme already underway rather than still on paper, and a payment plan that keeps 30 percent payable only on handover in the second quarter of 2030. The entry price, reported from AED 2,700,000, is the collection’s entry point, which suits buyers seeking island waterfront exposure without signature residence pricing.

The honest counterweight is that detailed Shores specific pricing remains portal reported: the collection level tier table is described as published by Ellington, but no Shores specific official price list was available for this listing, and expected service charges of AED 18 per sq ft are reported rather than developer confirmed. Dubai Islands infrastructure is still maturing, so rental depth and resale liquidity will build as hotels, retail and the mall open around the collection.

As with any off plan purchase, buyers should weigh the final specifications, service charges, payment schedule and delivery terms before committing. Future rental demand and capital appreciation are not assured.
