The Meriva Collection or Coastal Haven: two Dubai Islands addresses compared
The Meriva Collection and Coastal Haven both sit on Dubai Islands. A fact-by-fact comparison of typologies and payment plans from Ellington and Prestige One's official pages, to help you choose between the two.
Two beachfront addresses, two developers
The Meriva Collection and Coastal Haven are both developments on Dubai Islands, one of Dubai's newer beachfront masterplans, and both aim at a similar coastal lifestyle from different developers. Investors researching Dubai Islands often ask about the two together, since the island setting is shared but the unit range, price information and payment structure published by each developer are not. This guide sets out the confirmed facts for each project side by side.
Side by side
| Criterion | The Meriva Collection | Coastal Haven |
|---|---|---|
| Developer | Ellington | Prestige One |
| Typologies | 1 to 4 bedroom apartments and penthouses; selected 3 and 5 bedroom beachfront residences | 1 to 3 bedroom residences and penthouses |
| Starting price | On request | On request |
| Payment plan | On request | 20% at booking, 80% at handover (bank financing possible, subject to lender approval) |
| Handover | On request | On request |
| Standout feature | Beachfront development combining residential buildings, signature homes and a hotel | Amenities built around wellness and family: infinity pool, wellness spa, outdoor cinema |
Where they differ
The clearest difference is the payment structure. Coastal Haven has a published plan, 20% at booking and 80% at handover, one of the more direct payment schedules in the Orven selection, and bank financing is possible for some buyers subject to the lender's approval. The Meriva Collection has no published payment plan on Ellington's official page, so your adviser confirms the schedule once you name a unit.
The second difference is the typology ceiling. The Meriva Collection extends beyond the standard apartment range into selected three- and five-bedroom beachfront residences and signature homes, alongside a hotel component within the same development. Coastal Haven stays within a one- to three-bedroom residence and penthouse range, without a townhouse or standalone villa category.
The third difference is the overall development concept. The Meriva Collection combines residential buildings, signature homes and a hotel in one coastal plan, a broader mixed-use approach. Coastal Haven is described as a coastal address built around wellness, leisure and family spaces, with amenities including an outdoor cinema and sports courts alongside its pool and spa.
What they share
Both sit on Dubai Islands, covered in our Dubai Islands district guide, a masterplan that also hosts Prestige One's Luxury Canal Residences. Both are sold under the same escrow and Dubai Land Department framework as every off-plan project in Dubai. Neither project carries a guaranteed rental yield or resale projection published by Orven, and any figure you see elsewhere beyond what is stated here should be treated as unverified until your adviser confirms it against current sales documents.

Which one to look at first
If a confirmed payment structure matters to you today, Coastal Haven is the one with a published 20% booking, 80% handover schedule. If you want a larger beachfront residence, a signature home, or the option of a hotel-adjacent lifestyle, The Meriva Collection covers that wider range. Both look toward the same island setting, so once you have a typology and budget in mind, the next step is comparing current availability and price for a matching unit in each development.
