About Meraas Sur La Mer Port de La Mer Jumeirah Dubai
Sur La Mer is Meraas's enclave of 147 duplex townhouses, 3 to 5 BHK, on the beach at Port de La Mer in Jumeirah 1 — the marina and beach district Meraas built at the north end of La Mer. It was completed in 2021 and is sold out from the developer. The source listing shows it from AED 4.65 M (about Rs 11.97 crore) with a May 2022 handover date; both are launch-era facts.
That needs saying plainly. No Sur La Mer townhouse is available at AED 4.65 M. Resale asks for a 3 BHK run from AED 5.3 M to 7 M on one source and from AED 9 M on another, and the district's townhouse average is about AED 16.8 M once the 4 and 5 BHK units are counted. The address is real, the developer is Dubai Holding's, and the beach is outside the door. The price is whatever the next seller wants.

Price and unit pricing
| Unit | Size | Price (AED) | In rupees | Implied rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-4 BHK (listing, launch era) | From 3,705 sq ft | From 4.65 M | About Rs 11.97 crore | About AED 1,255 per sq ft |
| 3 BHK resale (one source) | 3,744 - 3,917 sq ft | 5.3 M - 7 M | Rs 13.65 - 18.03 crore | About AED 1,400 - 1,800 per sq ft |
| 3 BHK resale (another source, Q1 2025) | 3,744 - 3,917 sq ft | From 9 M | About Rs 23.18 crore | About AED 2,300 - 2,400 per sq ft |
| Port de La Mer townhouses (Bayut average) | 3 to 5 BHK | About 16.8 M (14 M - 29 M) | About Rs 43.27 crore | — |
| Port de La Mer district rate | — | — | — | About AED 2,300 (DLD) to 3,148 (one transaction site) per sq ft |
The two resale sources are far apart, and the honest reading is that the AED 5.3 to 7 M figures are older or lower-floor asks and the AED 9 M figure reflects 2025 pricing at the district rate. A 3,744 sq ft townhouse at the DLD average of AED 2,300 per sq ft is about AED 8.6 M, which supports the higher figure. Ask for the last three Sur La Mer transactions from the DLD record before you make an offer; they settle it.
Payment and total cost
A ready resale: full payment at transfer, or a UAE mortgage. Worked on a AED 7 M purchase, the middle of the 3 BHK spread:
| Item | Basis | AED | Rupees (at 25.75) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | — | 7,000,000 | About Rs 18.03 crore |
| DLD transfer fee | 4% | 280,000 | About Rs 72.1 lakh |
| Trustee and admin fees | Fixed | About 4,000 | About Rs 1.0 lakh |
| Broker commission | 2% | 140,000 | About Rs 36.1 lakh |
| Mortgage registration (if financed) | 0.25% of loan | Depends on loan | — |
| Total (cash) | About 7.42 M | About Rs 19.11 crore |
Service charges are not printed in the sources checked. A community with a private beach, pools, sauna, gym and a marina carries high absolute charges, and townhouses pay on built-up area; on 3,744 sq ft even a moderate rate is a five-figure dirham sum a year.

Location and connectivity
Port de La Mer is the marina district Meraas built at the north end of La Mer beach in Jumeirah 1, with 190 berths, a yacht club, waterfront dining and a supermarket. Downtown and Burj Khalifa are about 15 minutes, the airport 15 to 20, City Walk and Sheikh Zayed Road about 10. Jumeirah 1 around it is Dubai's original villa suburb — low-rise, established, with schools and cafes that have been there for decades.
Sur La Mer sits on the beachfront edge of the district with the townhouses' terraces facing the water. There is nothing under construction next door that changes the picture; the district is complete. For a very different Dubai address at a similar rupee budget, compare Maritime City's Anwa Aria, a new-build tower 10 minutes east. See all Dubai projects we track and the projects list.
Amenities and specifications
Duplex townhouses with a private garage for two to three cars, terraces and direct beach access. The community offers a private beach, adult and children's pools, a gym, walking and jogging paths, gardens, playgrounds, a barbecue area, a steam room and sauna, and the marina's yacht club, boutiques and restaurants, with 24-hour security.
The finish is Meraas's 2021 standard, which is high for a townhouse; individual units vary with owner upgrades and use. Inspect the unit, the terrace waterproofing and the garage, and ask the owners' association about beach and marina maintenance.
About the developer
Meraas is the Dubai Holding Real Estate developer behind La Mer (opened October 2017), Bluewaters Island (2018) and Ain Dubai (2021), The Beach at JBR, City Walk and Port de La Mer itself. A 2026 developer review records a consistent on-time delivery record, with recent handovers including Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park, and Dubai Holding's land bank of more than 750 million sq ft behind it.
For a completed project the developer's record is background rather than risk, but here it also explains the price: Meraas addresses hold value because the destinations around them are the city's own. The project entity on the DLD record is La Mer North Residential; that is the name you will see on the title deed's history.
For overseas buyers
Buying from abroad. On the AED 4.65 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 186,000 (USD 50,600), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. Most overseas buyers pay through the developer's plan rather than a UAE mortgage. The ownership rules, fees and non-resident lending for every passport are in our Dubai buying guide; the notes below work the numbers for an Indian buyer.
Port de La Mer is freehold, so a foreign buyer holds the title outright. A AED 5.3 to 9 M townhouse is USD 1.4 to 2.5 M, which is six to ten LRS allowances of USD 250,000 — realistically three or four family members remitting over two financial years, or a UAE mortgage for part of it. Any unit clears the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold several times over.
No UAE tax applies to the property or rent; an Indian tax resident declares any rent and any sale gain in India. On income: Port de La Mer apartments yield 5 to 6% gross and townhouses less, so a AED 7 M house might return 3 to 4% gross if let, before high community charges. This is a home or a store of value, not an income asset.
On exit: fixed supply on the coast from a top-tier developer is the definition of a liquid Dubai asset; the 2021 buyers who paid launch-era prices are the evidence. The risk at today's prices is overpaying against the DLD comparables, not finding a buyer later.
Pros
- Beachfront townhouses in Jumeirah 1, 15 minutes from Downtown, from Dubai Holding's own developer — the address does not get more central on the coast
- Ready and completed in 2021, with title deeds, a private beach and a marina already operating
- Only 147 homes, in a district where supply is fixed by the coastline
- Meraas's delivery record is one of the best in the city
- Port de La Mer prices have kept rising; a 2021 buyer at launch-era prices is sitting on a large gain
- Clears the Golden Visa threshold with room to spare
Cons
- The AED 4.65 M on the source listing is a launch-era price; nothing is available at it, and resale asks for a 3 BHK start at AED 5.3 M and run to AED 9 M and beyond
- Sources disagree on resale: AED 5.3 to 7 M for a 3 BHK on one, from AED 9 M on another, and a district townhouse average of AED 16.8 M skewed by 4 and 5 BHK units
- Yields are low: 5 to 6% on Port de La Mer apartments and lower on townhouses, because prices carry the beach
- A AED 5 to 9 M townhouse needs USD 1.4 to 2.5 M — six to ten LRS allowances
- Few units come to market, so you buy when a seller sells, not when you want
- Service charges for a beach-and-marina community with a private beach and pools are high in absolute terms; no source prints the rate
Who this is for
- Families who want a ready beachfront house 15 minutes from Downtown and will live in it
- Buyers who value Meraas's completed record and a fixed-supply address over yield
- Golden Visa buyers who prefer a house on the coast to a tower apartment
- Indian buyers with several family members' LRS allowances and a long holding horizon
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone expecting to buy at the AED 4.65 M listed figure
- Yield investors — a beach townhouse in Jumeirah returns a small fraction of what a suburban flat does
- Buyers who need a unit available on their timetable
- Anyone who has not checked the service-charge statements and the marina community rules
Our verdict
A sound lifestyle and capital-preservation purchase for a family or Golden Visa buyer who accepts the district's resale price rather than the listed launch figure. Buy off transaction comparables, read the service-charge statements, and expect to wait for a unit. Not for income.

FAQs
What is the price of Sur La Mer?
The source listing shows it from AED 4.65 M (about Rs 11.97 crore), which is a launch-era figure — the project completed in 2021 and is sold out from Meraas. Resale asks for a 3 BHK (3,744 to 3,917 sq ft) run from AED 5.3 M to 7 M on one source and from AED 9 M on another; Port de La Mer townhouses average about AED 16.8 M across 3 to 5 BHK.
Is Sur La Mer ready?
Yes. The 147 townhouses were completed in 2021 and handed over; the source listing's May 2022 listed date reflects the last handovers. Every unit has a title deed.
Is there a payment plan for Sur La Mer?
No — it is a ready resale. You pay in full at transfer or use a UAE mortgage. Costs on top: 4% DLD fee, about AED 4,000 admin, 2% commission.
How does the price compare with the district?
Port de La Mer trades at about AED 2,300 per sq ft on DLD data (one transaction site prints AED 3,148). The listed AED 4.65 M on a 3,705 sq ft townhouse is about AED 1,255 per sq ft, half the district, which is why it is not a price you can buy at. Expect to pay the district rate.
What yield can I expect at Sur La Mer?
Port de La Mer apartments yield 5 to 6% gross; townhouses typically less. This is a lifestyle and capital-preservation purchase, not an income one.
Can a foreign national buy, and does it qualify for a Golden Visa?
Port de La Mer is freehold, so yes. Any unit clears the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold. A AED 5 to 9 M purchase is USD 1.4 to 2.5 M, which is six to ten LRS (the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) allowances of USD 250,000 across family members and financial years. Buyers of any other nationality can own on the same terms: Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to all nationalities, there is no residency requirement and no local partner, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name.
Who is Meraas?
Dubai Holding's developer, responsible for La Mer (2017), Bluewaters and Ain Dubai (2018, 2021), The Beach at JBR, City Walk and Port de La Mer. It has a consistent on-time record and its completed projects are among the city's best-known destinations.
What are the service charges at Sur La Mer?
Not printed in the sources we checked. A private-beach community with pools, gym, sauna and a marina carries high absolute charges; ask the seller for two years of DLD-approved statements before you offer.

Handover Timeline
Completed in 2021 — the source listing's May 2022 listed date reflects the last handovers. Every unit has a title deed and the developer has no stock left, so a purchase is a resale: a cash transfer at a DLD trustee office in two to four weeks, a mortgage purchase in six to eight. The timeline question is finding a seller at a price you accept, in a 147-unit enclave where few come to market.

A 2026 developer review records a consistent on-time delivery record with recent handovers including Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park, and Dubai Holding's land bank of more than 750 million sq ft behind it. It is one of the two or three Dubai developers whose completed projects are the city's postcards.

Specifications
💬 Our View
Sur La Mer is one of the few genuinely scarce addresses in this section: 147 beachfront townhouses in Jumeirah 1 from the developer that built the district, completed, with the beach and marina operating. The listed price is the only misleading thing about it. AED 4.65 M was the launch era; a buyer today pays the district's AED 2,300 to 3,148 per sq ft, which puts a 3 BHK somewhere between AED 5.3 M and 9 M depending on who you ask and which unit is for sale. That is not a bargain and not a yield play. It is a house on the beach 15 minutes from Downtown, from Meraas, which is exactly what it costs.
