Palace Beach Residence: The Crown Jewel of Emaar Beachfront

Palace Beach Residence: Where the Arabian Gulf Becomes Your Address

There is a hierarchy to Dubai’s waterfront addresses. At the top — in a category occupied by a handful of developments in a city of thousands — sit those rare residences where the sea is not a view you look at, but a world you step into. Where private beach access is not a bullet point in a brochure, but the first thing you do on a Sunday morning. Where the word palace is not aspirational marketing, but an accurate description of how it feels to come home.

Palace Beach Residence by Emaar Properties is precisely that place. Emaar Palace Beach Residence stands out as a luxury residential project, offering an exclusive lifestyle at the edge of the Arabian Gulf.

Set on Emaar Beachfront — the most exclusive private island residential community in Dubai, cradled between Palm Jumeirah and Jumeirah Beach Residence — Palace Beach Residence comprises two soaring towers of 29 and 42 storeys, completed in Q4 2025, with construction progressing steadily toward delivery. This residential project features Palace Beach Residence apartments as its main offering, providing 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, and Ain Dubai. It is the first branded residence on Emaar Beachfront, carrying the Palace Hotels & Resorts name — a five-star hospitality marque whose standards of design, service, and detail permeate every aspect of the development.

To live at Palace Beach Residence is to inhabit one of the most complete expressions of waterfront luxury that Dubai has ever built. And in a city that has been redefining luxury for thirty years, that is a statement worth taking seriously.

About Emaar Properties: The Company That Built Modern Dubai

No discussion of Palace Beach Residence is complete without understanding who stands behind it.

Emaar Properties was established in 1997 as a publicly listed company on the Dubai Financial Market and has since become the most recognised real estate developer in the Middle East — and one of the most recognised in the world. The Burj Khalifa. The Dubai Mall. Dubai Marina. Downtown Dubai. These are not simply addresses. They are the landmarks that defined Dubai’s transformation from a regional trading city into a global destination — and they are all Emaar.

With a property portfolio spanning the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and beyond, Emaar’s global footprint reflects a consistent ability to identify the most strategically significant sites, build on them with the highest standards, and create communities that appreciate in value for decades after delivery. Emaar is also renowned for launching successful off plan projects, offering investors attractive opportunities with flexible payment plans, high ROI potential, and the assurance of a reputable developer.

Palace Beach Residence carries that legacy to Emaar Beachfront — a development that represents Emaar’s most ambitious residential statement on Dubai’s most coveted stretch of coastline.

Emaar Beachfront: Dubai’s Most Exclusive Private Island Address

Before Palace Beach Residence, there is Emaar Beachfront — and understanding the island is essential to understanding why the address commands the premium it does.

Emaar Beachfront is a private, gated island community in Dubai Harbour, positioned between Palm Jumeirah to the south and Jumeirah Beach Residence to the north — at the precise point where New Dubai’s two most iconic waterfront addresses converge. The island spans over 10 million sq ft, housing 27 residential towers alongside a private beach, waterfront promenades, retail, dining, leisure infrastructure, a shopping mall, and exclusive amenities such as a yacht club.

What makes Emaar Beachfront genuinely exceptional — and genuinely irreplaceable — is the 1.5-kilometre private sandy beach, exclusively accessible to residents of the island’s towers. In a city where public beaches can be crowded and hotel-operated beach clubs charge hundreds of dirhams for access, a private beach reserved for the island’s residents is not simply a luxury feature. It is, for those who value it, the primary reason to choose Emaar Beachfront over every other premium address in Dubai.

The island also sits at the entrance to Dubai Harbour — a 20-million-square-foot development by Meraas Holding that is reshaping Dubai’s maritime landscape. Dubai Harbour will house the world’s largest cruise terminal, capable of handling 6,000 passengers simultaneously. It will feature a 135-metre Dubai Lighthouse with a luxury hotel and observation deck, a full-scale marina capable of accommodating 1,400 vessels, yacht clubs, retail malls, five-star hotels, and a waterfront promenade designed to become one of the most visited destinations in the city. Every element of this surrounding infrastructure will directly increase the value and desirability of every residence on Emaar Beachfront — including Palace Beach Residence — for years and decades ahead.

The Towers: Two Statements of Art Deco Waterfront Architecture

Palace Beach Residence comprises two distinctly scaled towers — Tower 1 at 29 storeys and Tower 2 at 42 storeys — each designed in a language that takes its cues from the golden age of Art Deco architecture: clean geometric lines, warm tonal palettes, generous glazing, and a verticality that feels graceful rather than aggressive.

The architectural concept was inspired by the resort towers of Miami’s South Beach — a precedent that feels entirely appropriate for an island address where the relationship between architecture, light, and water is at the centre of the design brief. The façades are rendered in white and soft earth tones, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and oversized balconies throughout — ensuring that every residence maintains an uninterrupted visual and experiential relationship with the sea, and offers panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf and surrounding cityscape.

Tower 1 is fully sold out — a fact that says as much about the development’s quality as any specification sheet could. Tower 2 houses the remaining available residences, priced from AED 1,700,000 for 1-bedroom apartments, and remaining among the most sought-after addresses currently available on Emaar Beachfront.

Together, the towers house 587 units across their combined floors — each delivered with Emaar’s signature specification quality and carrying the Palace Hotels & Resorts hospitality standard embedded in every amenity and service offering.

Residences: Art Deco Interiors, Arabian Gulf Views, and the Sea at Every Window

Palace Beach Residence offers 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses, each finished in the Art Deco-inspired interior language that defines the Palace Hotels & Resorts aesthetic: white and sand tones accented with warm marine blues, bespoke joinery, and premium fixtures that evoke the glamour of grand resort living without ever sacrificing the comfort and functionality of a genuine home.

Every apartment features:

• Floor-to-ceiling windows that frame uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, or Ain Dubai
• Spacious entertainer balconies that extend the living space outward to the sea air — seamless indoor-outdoor living as a daily reality
• Open-plan living and dining areas designed for natural light and spatial generosity
• Separate laundry areas and built-in wardrobes throughout
• Premium bathroom and kitchen fittings delivered to Emaar’s flagship specification standard

1-Bedroom Apartments — from 731 sq ft (67.93 sq m) to 80.59 sq m, priced from AED 1,700,000 (~USD 462,000). Arabian Gulf views, private balcony, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom. The entry point into Palace-branded island living — and one that the rental market consistently rewards.

2-Bedroom Apartments — from 110.99 sq m to 123.84 sq m, priced from AED 3,100,000 (~USD 843,000). Expanded layouts with distinct bedroom suites, generous living areas, and panoramic dual-aspect views. Perfectly suited for couples, small families, and professionals who require the space and privacy of a proper home at a world-class beachfront address.

3-Bedroom Apartments — from 177.89 sq m, priced from AED 4,700,000 (~USD 1,279,000). Full family-scale homes with multiple bedroom suites, separate living and dining zones, and the kind of balcony space from which the Palm Jumeirah and the open sea stretch to the horizon. These are residences that require no compromise whatsoever — on space, on specification, or on views.

4-Bedroom Apartments and Penthouses — for those for whom only the absolute pinnacle will suffice: the largest configurations in the development, offering penthouse-scale living above the Arabian Gulf on one of Dubai’s most private and prestigious islands.

Apartment Layouts and Sizes: Tailored Spaces for Every Lifestyle

At Palace Beach Residence, every detail of the living experience has been thoughtfully curated to accommodate the diverse lifestyles of Dubai’s most discerning residents. Whether you are seeking a serene retreat for yourself, a vibrant family home, or a high-performing investment property, the range of apartment layouts and sizes at this Emaar Beachfront address ensures there is a perfect fit for every need.

The development offers a spectrum of configurations, from elegant 1-bedroom apartments starting at 652 sq ft, to expansive 4-bedroom residences reaching up to 2,727 sq ft. Each apartment is a masterclass in contemporary design, blending comfort, functionality, and luxury in equal measure. Open-plan kitchens flow seamlessly into spacious living and dining areas, while built-in wardrobes and walk-in closets provide ample storage and a sense of refined order. The spacious bedrooms are designed as private sanctuaries, many with uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf, Dubai Creek Tower, and the lush beach park below.

Floor-to-ceiling windows and glass balconies are signature features of every residence, flooding interiors with natural light and framing panoramic vistas of the Dubai Marina skyline, Palm Jumeirah, and the private beach. Whether you are enjoying a sunrise over the Arabian Sea or the glittering lights of Downtown Dubai in the evening, every moment at Palace Beach Residence is defined by its stunning views and connection to the water.

Residents enjoy exclusive access to a suite of luxury amenities that rival the world’s finest resorts. The Miami-style infinity pool and lounge deck invite you to unwind with the sea as your backdrop, while the state-of-the-art swimming pool, gym, and kids’ play area cater to every member of the family. The on-site retail mall and proximity to trendy restaurants, yacht clubs, and leisure options at Dubai Harbour and Jumeirah Beach Residence ensure that every convenience is at your doorstep.

The residential complex offers easy access to Dubai’s most iconic destinations, including Skydive Dubai, Dubai Creek Harbour, and the vibrant energy of Dubai Marina. With a flexible payment plan—featuring a 10% down payment and a post-handover schedule—Palace Beach Residence is as attractive to investors seeking high ROI as it is to those searching for a forever home.

In every sense, Palace Beach Residence at Emaar Beachfront is the ultimate expression of luxury waterfront apartments in Dubai: a place where every apartment is tailored to your lifestyle, every view is breathtaking, and every day begins with the Arabian Gulf at your feet.

Amenities: Five-Star Resort Living as a Daily Standard

Palace Beach Residence carries the Palace Hotels & Resorts name — and that branding is not cosmetic.

• Water sports and yachting access — through Dubai Harbour’s expanding maritime infrastructure

Beyond the building, the broader Emaar Beachfront island adds further layers of resort-standard living: waterfront promenades flanked by restaurants and boutiques, direct beach access, marina facilities, and the full suite of five-star hotel services available through the Palace and surrounding hospitality venues within the community. Residents also benefit from proximity to other premium waterfront destinations in Dubai, including Creek Beach and the scenic Dubai Creek Canal, both offering exclusive leisure, relaxation, and vibrant waterfront experiences as part of the city’s luxury lifestyle.

Investment Case: Emaar Beachfront’s Record-Breaking Performance

For investors, Palace Beach Residence presents one of the most structurally compelling opportunities available in Dubai’s premium waterfront segment — a case built on scarcity, developer pedigree, hospitality branding, and a surrounding infrastructure programme that guarantees continued appreciation.

Rental yields of 8–12% per annum are achievable on Emaar Beachfront properties — among the strongest figures in Dubai’s residential market, and a direct consequence of the island’s dual appeal to long-term residential tenants and short-term holiday rental guests. Sea view properties in Dubai command a rental premium of approximately 30% over comparable non-sea-facing units in the same district — a structural yield uplift that is built into every Palace Beach Residence apartment by default.

The 6% floor is well documented: Emaar-branded properties on Emaar Beachfront consistently deliver a minimum of 6% gross rental yield on 1-bedroom apartments in standard years, with well-managed short-term rental units pushing significantly above that threshold given the island’s proximity to Dubai Marina, JBR, and the tourism infrastructure of Dubai Harbour.

Scarcity of supply. Emaar Beachfront is a closed island — there is no further land to develop within its boundaries. Every residence sold within the community is one that cannot be replicated by new supply. Palace Beach Residence is completed and fully delivered, meaning that buyers are acquiring into a finite, established, fully operational community. The combination of freehold ownership and supply-constrained demand creates the conditions for sustained long-term capital appreciation.

Dubai Harbour’s development uplift. The ongoing development of Dubai Harbour — the world’s largest cruise terminal, 1,400-berth marina, Dubai Lighthouse, retail malls, and hospitality venues — will directly and materially increase the value of all properties on Emaar Beachfront as each phase completes. Investors who buy now are positioned before the full infrastructure is in place, capturing the appreciation that the completed development will generate.

The Palace brand premium. Carrying a five-star hospitality brand is not merely a marketing distinction. It creates a measurable premium on both rental rates and resale prices, as tenants and buyers associate the Palace Hotels & Resorts name with service quality, management standards, and an investment in the long-term prestige of the address.

Emaar’s resale liquidity. Emaar-developed properties are among the most liquid assets in Dubai’s real estate market — consistently among the highest-volume transacted projects in any given period, ensuring that investors who wish to exit can do so efficiently and at a competitive price.

Freehold ownership is available to all nationalities, with zero UAE property tax, ensuring that all rental income and capital gains are retained in full.

UAE Golden Visa eligibility. Purchases above AED 2,000,000 qualify buyers and their immediate families for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa — renewable as long as ownership is maintained.

Tower 1 is sold out. Tower 2 units remain — from 1-bedroom apartments at AED 1,700,000 to penthouses priced on application.
