A waterfront off-plan search in Dubai currently spans very different budgets and settings. Azizi Wasel, on Dubai Islands, starts from AED 1.06 million. Aurea, directly on the Rashid Yachts & Marina front, starts from AED 2,310,888. Armani Beach Residences, on Palm Jumeirah, has already sold out its initial release at a price this guide cannot confirm.

Azizi Wasel: seafront on Dubai Islands

Azizi Wasel is a seafront residential tower by Azizi Developments on Dubai Islands, offering studios through three-bedroom apartments alongside panoramic penthouses. The building is planned with a cinema, clubhouse, swimming pools, a gym, children's play areas and retail space at podium level, with handover expected June 2027.

Aurea: directly on the marina front

Aurea sits directly on the marinafront within Rashid Yachts & Marina, Emaar's redevelopment of the historic Mina Rashid port. Apartments run from one bedroom up to five-bedroom penthouses, most with a panoramic outlook over the 430-berth superyacht marina or the Arabian Gulf beyond it.

Armani Beach Residences: already sold out at launch

Armani Beach Residences brings Giorgio Armani's design language to a beachfront tower on Palm Jumeirah, with two to five bedroom apartments, penthouses and presidential suites above 90,000 square feet of amenities including a private beach and infinity pool. According to Arada's official project page, the initial release has already sold out, so current availability depends on the resale market or a later phase.

Why "waterfront" means three different things here

Dubai Islands, Rashid Yachts & Marina and Palm Jumeirah each offer a different kind of water access: seafront on a reclaimed island, a working superyacht marina front, or a beachfront position on one of Dubai's best-known peninsulas. The label "waterfront" alone does not tell you which of these three settings you are actually buying into.

Questions worth asking before assuming direct water access

Not every unit in a "waterfront" building faces the water directly; many towers have a mix of sea-facing and city-facing or community-facing units at different price points within the same release. Before assuming your specific unit at Azizi Wasel or Aurea has the view shown in the marketing material, ask your adviser to confirm which floor and orientation carries the published starting price, since the cheapest units in a building are not always the ones with the best outlook.

How marina living differs from island or beachfront living day to day

Rashid Yachts & Marina places residents next to an active working marina with boat traffic and a yacht club, a different daily rhythm from the quieter residential feel of a reclaimed island community like Dubai Islands, or the resort-style beachfront setting of Palm Jumeirah. None of the three is presented here as superior; the right fit depends on whether you want marina activity, island calm, or beach resort living outside your door.

What is still on request for two of the three

Aurea's payment schedule is not published at the time of verification, and Armani Beach Residences has neither a confirmed price nor a payment plan listed since the release is already sold out. Only Azizi Wasel's handover date is firmly confirmed among the three.

Costs on top of any of these starting prices

Registration costs sit outside the starting prices quoted above for all three of Azizi Wasel, Aurea and Armani Beach Residences. Expect a 4% Dubai Land Department fee once any of them completes, versus a fixed Oqood fee set in the contract for registering now, while still off-plan.

Financing a waterfront purchase

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