1 Bedroom Apartment for Sale in Jumeirah, Dubai: Two Addresses
Jumeirah's waterfront collection includes one bedroom options at two very different price points, The Peninsula Dubai Residences from roughly AED 7 million and Port de La Mer, already built and sold out from the developer.
A one bedroom apartment for sale in Jumeirah, Dubai currently points to two very different addresses in the Orven selection: The Peninsula Dubai Residences, where a one bedroom starts from roughly AED 7 million, and Port de La Mer, a completed, sold-out community now trading through resale.
The Peninsula Dubai Residences
The Peninsula occupies a waterfront plot where the Dubai Water Canal meets the Arabian Gulf in Jumeirah 2, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners. Interconnected towers wrap around a new marina and landscaped boulevards lined with boutique retail, with lobbies finished in Calacatta marble and timber panelling. Apartments run from one to four bedrooms, with a one bedroom starting from roughly AED 7 million. Payment plan details are confirmed by your adviser.
Port de La Mer
Port de La Mer is Meraas's Mediterranean-styled residential quarter on the northern tip of La Mer, built around a 192-berth marina, with one to five bedroom low-rise apartments finished with open, flowing interiors. Completed in 2021, the community is fully sold from Meraas, so a one bedroom here today is a resale or rental listing rather than a fresh developer reservation.
The two compared
| Project | Starting price (1 bedroom) | Status | How to buy today |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Peninsula Dubai Residences | From roughly AED 7 million | Off-plan | Direct reservation, payment plan on request |
| Port de La Mer | Price on request | Ready, sold out from developer | Resale or rental market |
Why the price gap is so wide
The Peninsula sits at the ultra-luxury end of Jumeirah's waterfront, with architecture by a globally recognised firm and direct proximity to Aman Residences Dubai, Bulgari Resort Dubai and DIFC. Port de La Mer, while well established and centrally located within La Mer, was positioned and priced as a more accessible Mediterranean-style community when it launched, and its resale pricing today reflects the broader secondary market rather than a fresh off-plan release.
What buying each one actually involves
Reserving a one bedroom at The Peninsula follows the standard off-plan sequence: a signed reservation, a confirmed initial payment, and registration once your adviser has the current terms from the developer. A resale purchase at Port de La Mer instead involves a different process entirely, agreeing a price with the current owner, a standard sale and purchase agreement, and registration of the transfer with the Dubai Land Department at the usual 4% fee, split by agreement between buyer and seller.

Escrow versus standard registration
The Peninsula's off-plan payments, once a plan is confirmed, are held in an escrow account controlled by the Dubai Land Department, with progress trackable through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service. Port de La Mer, being a completed resale, does not involve escrow in the same way; the transaction instead follows the standard registered-sale process. Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents in either case, always subject to the lender's approval.
Golden Visa at these price points
A property investment of at least AED 2 million can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. The Peninsula's one bedroom starting price comfortably clears that threshold; a Port de La Mer resale unit would need to be assessed against the current asking price to know whether it qualifies.
Choosing between the two
If you want a new, off-plan residence with branded design credentials and are comfortable with The Peninsula's price point, that is the live reservation today. If you want to move into an established, already-built community sooner and are open to a resale purchase, Port de La Mer remains an option through the secondary market.
