About Esmé Beach Residences Dubai Islands Dubai
Esmé Beach Residences is an AED 370 million beachfront building by Elysian Developments on Dubai Islands: 109 apartments of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms, some with private pools, over 23,000 sq ft of wellness amenities, on a 20/40/40 plan with handover due Q2 2027. The source listing shows it from AED 3.1 M, about Rs 7.98 Cr at 25.75 rupees to the dirham, for a 2 BHK.
Two things are missing from every public source: the unit areas and a building Elysian has already delivered. This page works with what is in print, sets out the price list by unit type, the plan and the fees, and is direct about what needs to be verified before a booking amount leaves India.

Dubai Islands off-plan apartments averaged about AED 2,340 per sq ft by mid-2025. Without areas, Esmé cannot be placed against that; if the 2 BHK at AED 3.1 M is around 1,300 sq ft it is at the average, and if it is nearer 1,000 sq ft it is 30 per cent above. Elysian's marketing is about the wellness specification rather than the rate, which usually means the rate is above the district. Ask for the price list with areas before you compare it with Beach Walk Grand or Sunset Bay on the same islands.
Payment plan and total cost
The plan is 20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent in five instalments during construction and 40 per cent on handover in Q2 2027.
| Stage | AED | Rupees (at 25.75) |
|---|---|---|
| Booking, 20 per cent | 620,000 | About Rs 1.60 Cr |
| DLD registration fee, 4 per cent, plus Oqood admin and AED 40 knowledge fee | About 124,000 plus admin | About Rs 31.9 lakh |
| Construction instalments, 40 per cent in five steps | 1,240,000 | About Rs 3.19 Cr |
| Handover, 40 per cent, Q2 2027 | 1,240,000 | About Rs 3.19 Cr |
| Total | About 3,224,000 | About Rs 8.30 Cr |
| Service charge, year one | Top of the AED 15 to 22 per sq ft island range, given the amenities | — |
No agency commission applies on a developer sale. Ask that the five instalments be tied to DLD-inspected milestones rather than dates, which matters more with a developer that has no handover record. Final as per the SPA.
Location and connectivity
The building is on the Dubai Islands beach. The islands sit off Deira, linked by the Infinity Bridge: the Gold Souk is about ten minutes by car, Dubai International Airport 15 to 20, Dubai Creek Harbour about 15 and Downtown 20 to 25. The night souk and promenade are within walking distance. Dubai Islands Mall, the metro link and most of the resort programme are still under construction through 2027 and beyond, so for the first year or two the beach and the building's own facilities are the amenity.
Amenities and specifications
The amenity list is the selling point: rooftop lap pools, aqua cycling, contrast therapy zones, a gym, family pools and a purified-water system, across 23,000 sq ft. Every apartment has a smart-home fit-out and a large balcony, and selected 2 and 3 BHK units have a private pool on the balcony. Facilities on this scale are run by staff and cost money to keep, so ask for the service-charge budget alongside the price list. Final as per the SPA.
About the developer
Elysian Developments was founded in Dubai in 2006 and moved into residential development with a 'design for well-being' theme. Esmé, at AED 370 million, is its flagship; it has registered projects in Jumeirah Village Circle and Al Furjan and set out to launch AED 1 billion of projects in 2025. None of the sources checked names a completed Elysian residential building. On Dubai Islands the comparison is Imtiaz, which has already handed over one building there and has several more under way; Elysian is asking buyers to trust a specification rather than a record. That is a legitimate bet, but it should be priced in.
For overseas buyers
Any nationality. Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to buyers of every nationality, resident or not: no local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. On the AED 3.10 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 124,000 (USD 33,800), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. UAE banks lend non-residents about 50% to 60% of the price, which is why the developer payment plan above carries most overseas purchases. The paragraphs below work the numbers for an Indian buyer, the largest single group buying in Dubai, but the ownership, visa and yield rules are the same whatever passport you hold.
Ownership. Dubai Islands is freehold; the unit is registered as an Oqood record now and a title deed at handover.
Remittance. AED 3.1 M is about USD 844,000. Under the LRS each person can remit USD 250,000 per financial year, so a couple can cover the 60 per cent due before handover across this year and next, with the 40 per cent at handover falling in the 2027-28 year. The five-instalment schedule should be mapped against 1 April before signing.
Golden Visa. AED 3.1 M clears the AED 2 M threshold; the AED 1.95 M 1 BHK falls just short unless the registered price reaches AED 2 M. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP.
Yield and tax. Dubai Islands forecasts run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open; at AED 3.1 M a 2 BHK needs about AED 186,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, which is a beachfront short-let figure, and a private-pool unit is the kind that earns it. No UAE tax applies; in India the rent is income from house property after the 30 per cent standard deduction. Resale before handover is possible once a set share is paid, subject to the developer's transfer fee.
Pros
- Beachfront with only 109 units
- 23,000 sq ft of wellness amenities — unusual for a building this size
- Private-pool units for a villa feature in an apartment
- Clears the Golden Visa line on a 2 BHK
- Nakheel-regulated service charges of about AED 15 to 22 per sq ft
- Only 40 per cent at handover
Cons
- No delivered Elysian building named by any source
- No published unit areas, so no per sq ft check is possible
- Two 2 BHK entry figures — AED 2.7 M and AED 3.1 M
- The islands are unfinished
- Amenities of this size carry a service charge to match
- DLD number and escrow bank not in print
Who this is for
- Buyers who want a beachfront apartment with wellness facilities they will use
- Golden Visa applicants who want a 2 BHK on the beach above AED 2 M
- Owners planning to short-let a private-pool unit once the islands' amenities open
- Buyers who will verify the escrow and DLD status report before paying
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who insists on a developer with a delivered building
- Buyers who need the per sq ft rate before committing
- Yield-first investors until the amenities open
- Anyone unwilling to chase the DLD number and escrow details
Our verdict
Buy for the beach and the wellness spec if the escrow, the DLD number and a price list with areas check out; otherwise wait for Elysian to hand something over first. Plan around Q2 2027, budget about AED 130,000 of fees on AED 3.1 M, and prefer a 2 BHK for the visa. For the same beach from a developer with an island handover behind it, see Beach Walk Grand; the wider market is on our project list.

FAQs
What is the price of Esmé Beach Residences?
The source listing shows it from AED 3.1 M, about Rs 7.98 Cr, for a 2 BHK. Brokers print 1 BHK from AED 1.95 M, 2 BHK from AED 2.7 M to 3.9 M, 2 BHK with a private pool from AED 3.88 M to 4.8 M and 3 BHK with a pool from AED 7.5 M. Unit areas are not published; ask Elysian for the list with areas.
What is the payment plan?
20 per cent on booking, 40 per cent in five instalments during construction and 40 per cent on handover. Add the 4 per cent DLD fee and Oqood admin fees at booking.
When is handover?
Q2 2027 on the portals; the source listing carries February 2027. No completion percentage is in print; ask for the DLD project-status report.
How many units are there?
109 apartments of 1, 2 and 3 bedrooms in a beachfront building of 266,000 sq ft, with 23,000 sq ft of amenities. The floor count is not printed by the sources checked.
Is it RERA registered?
It is an active DLD-registered off-plan project on Property Finder, but none of the sources checked prints the project number or the escrow bank. Confirm both on the Dubai REST app before paying.
Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?
Yes at AED 3.1 M; the threshold is AED 2 M. The AED 1.95 M 1 BHK falls just short unless the registered price reaches AED 2 M. Off-plan units count once registered; confirm with the ICP.
What are the service charges?
Dubai Islands charges are estimated at AED 15 to 22 per sq ft a year for 2026, regulated by Nakheel; a building with 23,000 sq ft of wellness facilities will sit at the top of that range. Ask for the budget.
What rental yield can I expect?
Forecasts for Dubai Islands run 6 to 8 per cent gross once the amenities open by 2027. At AED 3.1 M a 2 BHK needs about AED 186,000 a year to reach 6 per cent, which is a beachfront short-let number.
What has Elysian delivered?
Elysian Developments was founded in 2006 and has registered projects in JVC and Al Furjan, but none of the sources checked names a completed Elysian residential building. Esmé is its flagship and its first handover test.
Interested in Esmé? Ask Realty Hunting for Elysian's price list with areas, the escrow and DLD details, and a visit that pairs the site with a delivered Imtiaz building on the islands so you can judge what a finished unit here should look like.

Steady rental demand and active resale in Dubai Islands make it a sensible medium to long-term hold. Get a good entry price and the maths works better.
Larger layouts, amenities and a settled neighbourhood suit families who actually want to live here, not just invest.
A RERA-registered project from a known builder is the safer pick when buying from abroad. We handle paperwork and updates remotely.

Is Esmé Beach Residences Dubai Is... Worth Buying?
Yes, for the right buyer. Early pricing now, with value as it nears handover. Just compare the exact unit and price with one nearby option first.
Short answer — yes, it is worth a serious look if you want a home in Dubai Islands from a builder with a real track record. Buying early gets you a better price than ready stock, with the upside as it nears handover. It is not the cheapest option in the area, so it fits buyers who value the builder, location and amenities over the lowest sticker price. Compare the exact unit with one nearby project, lock the live cost sheet with us, and you will know if it is right for you.
- →You want a long-term home or hold from a builder with a track record
- →You are fine waiting for handover in return for better pricing
- →Location, build quality and amenities matter more to you than the lowest sticker price
- →You need the cheapest option in the area
- →You need to move in right away
- →You are chasing quick, short-term resale gains
Possession Timeline
Handover is on record for Q2 2027 on the portals; the source listing carries February 2027. The building is under construction and no source checked prints a completion percentage. Elysian was founded in 2006 but the sources checked do not name a delivered Elysian building, so this project has no handover record behind it. Ask for the DLD project-status report and the escrow statement before booking, and tie the five construction instalments to inspected milestones.
Investment Analysis
Why people look at Esmé Beach Residences Dubai Islands Dubai for investment is simple — it is in Dubai Islands, and this part of Dubai Islands has seen steady demand from both end-users and investors. Good road links, nearby offices and schools usually keep rentals healthy and resale active. Since it is still under construction, entry prices are lower than ready stock, which is what early buyers count on. That said, treat any price or return figure as a guide and confirm the current cost sheet with us before you decide.
Price Analysis
The starting price of about AED 3.1 M (about Rs 7.98 Cr) is in line with what Dubai Islands asks today for this kind of project. What you actually pay shifts with the floor, view, facing and unit size, plus any offer running at the time.
Treat the listed figure as a starting point, not the last word. Ask us for a unit-wise cost sheet so you see the real, all-in number before you decide.
Payment Plan Explained
There are usually a few ways to pay. A construction-linked plan (CLP) spreads payments across building stages, a down-payment plan asks for most of the cost upfront for a discount, and a possession-linked plan pushes a big part to handover.
Which one suits you depends on whether you are buying to live in or to invest, and on your loan. We can lay out the exact plans on offer and what each costs you.
Hidden Charges to Budget For
Beyond the base price, plan for GST (on under-construction homes), stamp duty and registration, and one-time charges like club membership, covered parking, power backup and IFMS (a maintenance deposit). A preferred-location charge (PLC) may apply for a better floor or view.
None of this is truly hidden once you see a full cost sheet, but it adds up. Ask us for the complete break-up so the final figure is clear from day one.
Maintenance Cost
Maintenance is billed per square foot every month and depends on the amenities and upkeep level — bigger clubs and more facilities usually mean a slightly higher rate.
We will share the current maintenance rate for this project, along with the one-time maintenance deposit, when you reach out.
Rental Yield
Residential rental yields in Dubai Islands are modest, like most of NCR, but steady, helped by demand from nearby offices and schools. The bigger draw is usually capital appreciation and a good tenant pool rather than high monthly rent.
If rental income is your main aim, tell us your budget and we will point you to the configurations that rent out fastest here.
Resale Potential
Resale demand in Dubai Islands is generally active because the corridor stays in demand with both end-users and investors. A known builder and a good location usually make a unit easier to sell later.
Resale value still comes down to the exact unit, floor and the market at the time, so buy at a sensible price and the resale side tends to look after itself.
Possession Risks
Since it is still being built, there is always some chance of a timeline shift. The plus point is that RERA-registered projects carry committed dates and clear compensation rules for delay.
Before booking, check the RERA possession date and the delay clause. We will also share the builder's track record on delivery so you go in with eyes open.
Bank Loan Availability
Home loans here are generally easy to arrange, since leading banks usually approve known builders and RERA-registered projects. Banks typically fund up to roughly 75 to 90 percent of the cost based on your profile.
We can connect you with loan partners, help with eligibility and paperwork, and line up a competitive interest rate.
Construction Updates
The project is currently under construction. The build stage and finishing change month to month.
For the latest site progress — slab status, finishing or possession readiness — call or WhatsApp us and we will share the most recent update from the ground.

Locality Review
Dubai Islands is one of the steadier addresses in the Gurugram market. Day-to-day life is easy here — schools, hospitals, markets and offices are close, the roads connect well to the rest of NCR, and there is a healthy mix of families and working professionals. It suits buyers who want a settled, well-linked neighbourhood rather than a far-out, still-developing pocket.
Scores are indicative, based on the locality.
Location Map
Nearby Landmarks & Connectivity
Connectivity is indicative. Ask us for exact distances and drive times.
The main thing to weigh is this — no delivered Elysian building is named by any source checked — this is a first flagship. It is not a deal-breaker for most buyers, but worth factoring in. Tell us your plan and we will say honestly whether it matters for you.
For the long term, Dubai Islands has the basics investors look for — steady demand, improving roads, and a healthy mix of end-users and tenants. A home from a known builder in this corridor usually holds value and has room to grow over a 5 to 10 year horizon. It suits patient, long-term buyers more than anyone chasing a quick flip. The entry price you get decides how good the return looks, so confirm the live rate with us first.
It suits long-term buyers and investors who are fine waiting for handover in exchange for lower entry pricing, and anyone who wants a home from a trusted builder in Dubai Islands.
At around AED 3.1 M (about Rs 7.98 Cr) to start, it is priced in line with the Dubai Islands market for this kind of home. Whether it is worth it depends on the exact unit and the running offer — we will help you compare before you commit.
An honest read on livability, builder trust, investment potential and value — scored by our team, not the builder.
About Elysian Developments
Elysian Developments is a Dubai company founded in 2006 that moved into residential development with a wellness-led design theme. Esmé Beach Residences, an AED 370 million project, is its flagship; it has registered further projects in Jumeirah Village Circle and Al Furjan and set out to launch AED 1 billion of projects in 2025. None of the sources checked names a completed Elysian residential building, so treat it as a first-cycle developer: the design ambition is documented, the delivery record is not yet.
Payment Plan
Specifications
💬 Our View
Esmé is the most design-led building on Dubai Islands: 109 apartments, private-pool units, and 23,000 sq ft of wellness facilities that most towers three times its size do not offer. That is the attraction, and it comes with two unknowns that matter more than usual. First, no source names a building Elysian has delivered, so the developer is being judged on this project. Second, no source prints the unit areas, so the AED 3.1 M listed figure and the brokers' AED 2.7 M cannot be turned into a per sq ft rate against the islands' AED 2,340 average. Neither is a reason to walk away; both are reasons to make the first meeting about the escrow account, the DLD status report and a price list with areas. If those come back clean, a 2 BHK here is a fair Golden Visa buy for an owner who will use the pools.
We track Dubai Islands closely, and Esmé Beach Residences Dubai Islands Dubai is one of the homes buyers ask about often. Our honest take: weigh the developer, the exact unit, and the price you get against nearby options before you commit. We are not here to push one project — we help you compare and pick what fits your budget and plan. For the live price and a clear comparison, just reach out.
Common Concerns, Answered
Premium projects in Dubai Islands do sit higher, but you pay for the builder, location and build quality. Compare the price per sq ft with one nearby project and it usually adds up — we will run that for you.
It is RERA-registered, so there is a committed date and compensation rules if the builder slips. We will share the delivery track record so you can judge the risk.
Maintenance is per sq ft per month and scales with amenities. We give you the exact rate up front so it is in your budget, not a surprise.
Resale in Dubai Islands stays active on steady demand. A known builder and a good unit make selling later easier.
Loading (the gap between saleable and carpet area) varies by project. Ask us for the exact carpet area of the unit you like so you compare like for like.
Yields here are modest but steady, helped by nearby offices and schools. If rent is your goal, we will point you to the units that lease out fastest.

Final Verdict
Buy for the beach and the wellness spec if the escrow, the DLD number and a price list with areas check out; otherwise wait for Elysian to hand something over first. Plan around Q2 2027, budget about AED 130,000 of fees on AED 3.1 M, and prefer a 2 BHK for the visa. For the same beach from a developer with an island handover behind it, see Beach Walk Grand.
