# Solaya ## La Mer, Jumeirah, Dubai > A private collection of 234 beachfront residences by Foster + Partners, set along Jumeirah's quietest stretch of shoreline. **Canonical source** : https://withlevel8.com/en/projets/solaya **Locale** : en **Entry price** : 14.20 M AED **Est. gross yield** : 5.5 — 7.0 % **Handover** : Q2 2029 **Bedrooms** : 2 – 5BR + garden duplexes & penthouses ## TL;DR Solaya is a gated enclave of nine low-rise beachfront buildings developed by Meraas in collaboration with Brookfield Properties, with architecture by Foster + Partners and interiors by 1508 London. Two- to five-bedroom residences, garden duplexes and penthouses look directly onto the Arabian Gulf, framed by a central Beach Park, curated gardens and a private stretch of sand. Minutes from Downtown, DIFC and the city's most refined hotels, Solaya is a coastal address that trades spectacle for quiet elegance — open-plan layouts, generous ceiling heights and a deliberately restrained material palette. --- Solaya occupies a privileged stretch of Jumeirah's coast, a forty-six-acre site where nine beachfront buildings sit deliberately low against the horizon. Designed by Foster + Partners with interiors by 1508 London, the architecture frames the sea rather than competing with it — generous setbacks, projecting canopies, and ground floors raised above pedestrian level protect privacy without breaking the connection to the shore. The 234 residences span two- to five-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom garden homes with private pools and 3,000-square-foot courtyards, four-bedroom duplexes, and a single penthouse per building. Internal palettes are restrained — stone flooring, marble flourishes, bespoke timber joinery — and living rooms are positioned to capture triple-aspect views on the penultimate floors. From three bedrooms upwards, every residence features both a show kitchen and a separate prep kitchen. At the heart of the development sits the Beach Park, an alfresco sanctuary connecting wellness, lounge and fitness pavilions through curated gardens. Residents share an in-house spa with sauna and treatment rooms, a fitness studio, private cinema, residents' lounge, meeting rooms, and direct beach access — with the Sirene, Gigi Rigolatto and Bâoli outposts of neighbouring J1 Beach a short walk along the sand. Downtown Dubai is fifteen minutes away, Dubai International Airport twenty. Solaya's neighbours include the Mandarin Oriental, Bvlgari Resort and Four Seasons — a context that informs both the lifestyle and the long-term investment thesis. ## Design philosophy "To build a home here is a dream — connected to nature, a place where you can sit on the balcony, feel the breeze and listen to the waves lapping gently onto the shore." Grant Brooker, Head of Studio at Foster + Partners, frames Solaya as a quiet act of restraint: architecture that yields to the coast. --- ## Citable facts - **Entry price** : 14.20 M AED - **Gross yield** : 5.5 — 7.0 % - **Payment plan** : 20 / 40 / 40 — 20% on booking, 40% during construction, 40% on handover Q2 2029 - **Handover** : Q2 2029 - **Location** : La Mer, Jumeirah, Dubai - **Taxation** : 0% tax on rental income and capital gains (Dubai) ## Highlights - Direct private beach access along Jumeirah's quietest shoreline - Nine low-rise buildings, only 234 residences across 46 acres - Foster + Partners architecture, 1508 London interiors - Private lift access into every residence, separate service elevators - Show kitchen and prep kitchen from three bedrooms upwards - Penthouses with 4-metre ceilings, private pool deck and cinema - In-house spa, sauna, treatment rooms, gym and residents' cinema - Steps from J1 Beach — Sirene, Gigi Rigolatto and Bâoli ## Amenities Private beach · Infinity pool · Spa · Sauna · Gym · Cinema · Resident lounge · Concierge 24/7 ## Nearby - Jumeirah Beach — 1 min - Dubai Mall — 15 min - Burj Khalifa — 15 min - DIFC — 15 min - Dubai International Airport (DXB) — 20 min - Nearest school — 10 min - Nearest hospital — 10 min --- ## FAQ ### What is the entry price at Solaya?
