Luxury Waterfront Apartments in Dubai: Three Addresses

Luxury waterfront apartments in Dubai cover a far wider price range than the word "luxury" alone suggests. AVA at Palm Jumeirah, just 17 residences, starts from AED 78 million. Beachgate by Address, at Emaar Beachfront, has a confirmed December 2026 handover. Lyvia by Palace, in Dubai Creek Harbour, is the most accessible entry point of the three, from AED 1.98 million.

Three waterfront addresses compared

Project	Setting	Units	Starting price
AVA at Palm Jumeirah	Palm Jumeirah	Only 17 residences	From AED 78 million
Beachgate by Address	Emaar Beachfront	242 apartments plus 8 penthouses	Price on request
Lyvia by Palace	Dubai Creek Harbour	1 to 3 bedroom apartments	From AED 1.98 million

AVA at Palm Jumeirah: 17 residences, each with a private pool

AVA is a compact, 24-storey OMNIYAT development comprising just 17 residences, each an apartment, duplex or penthouse with a private pool on its terrace, managed by Dorchester Collection with 24-hour concierge and in-residence dining. Starting price is AED 78 million.

Beachgate by Address: a hospitality name at Emaar Beachfront

Beachgate by Address is a 37-storey Address Hotels + Resorts branded tower at Emaar Beachfront, offering 242 apartments from one to four bedrooms alongside eight duplex penthouses. Shared amenities include direct beach access, an infinity pool deck and a fitness centre. Handover is scheduled for December 2026, making it the nearest-term of the three.

Lyvia by Palace: the Palace brand's Creek Harbour entry point

Lyvia by Palace carries Emaar's Palace hospitality branding into Dubai Creek Harbour, pairing one to three bedroom apartments with nature-inspired interiors rather than a direct waterfront position. Starting price is AED 1.98 million, far below the other two, giving buyers who want the Palace brand name a lower entry point.

Why "luxury waterfront" spans such a wide range

Scarcity, brand tier and district all move price independently. AVA's 17-unit scarcity and Palm Jumeirah address push its price far above Beachgate's larger 242-unit release, while Lyvia's Creek Harbour setting, a step back from the open water, keeps its entry price the lowest of the three despite carrying the same Palace brand family as other Emaar waterfront towers.

Comparing unit count as a proxy for exclusivity

AVA's 17 total residences sit at one extreme of exclusivity; Beachgate's 242 apartments plus 8 penthouses sit much closer to a standard large-scale release; Lyvia by Palace's unit count is not published but follows a typical Dubai Creek Harbour apartment-building scale. As a rule of thumb, the lower the total unit count in a luxury waterfront tower, the higher the starting price tends to run relative to its district, all else being similar.

What to confirm about service level before comparing brands

AVA's Dorchester Collection management includes daily services like in-residence dining that a standard Address or Palace branded building may not offer as standard. Before treating two branded towers as equivalent because they share a "luxury" label, ask your adviser exactly which services are included in the HOA or service charge versus billed separately, since this detail varies significantly between AVA, Beachgate by Address and Lyvia by Palace.

What is not published for Beachgate by Address

Beachgate by Address does not have a confirmed starting price at the time of this guide's verification, even though its handover date, December 2026, is confirmed. Your adviser confirms current unit pricing before you commit to a budget.

Costs on top of any of these three

None of the three starting prices quoted above includes registration. Buying a completed unit brings a 4% Dubai Land Department fee on the sale price, while an off-plan purchase instead carries a flat Oqood fee written into the contract.

Financing a luxury waterfront purchase

Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's own approval. No interest rate or specific bank is confirmed here for any of these three towers.

Next step

Tell your adviser which of these three fits your budget, from Lyvia's AED 1.98 million entry point to AVA's ultra-exclusive AED 78 million tier, and they will confirm current availability.
