La Mer

The Headline

Port de La Mer feels like an escape within the city. Inspired by coastal European towns, this low-rise waterfront enclave combines pastel facades, cobbled walkways, and private marina views with the comfort and convenience of a Dubai address. Located in Jumeirah 1, it’s one of the few freehold options in a traditionally local part of town. Residents enjoy direct beach access, boutique shopping, and a calm, curated lifestyle that feels more holiday than high-rise. For those looking for charm, privacy, and daily sea views, Port de La Mer offers a unique proposition - seaside living, just minutes from the city.

Who is it right for?

- End-users looking for long-term calm

- Couples and small families who want beach access

- Buyers who prefer low-rise, low-density living

- Frequent travellers wanting central access with privacy

- Investors seeking exclusivity and short-let potential

Vibe check

Secluded, sunny, and cinematic. Port de La Mer is more Amalfi than Marina - quiet cafés, laundry hung on balconies, families on beach strolls. It’s an ideal blend of lifestyle and location, where the sound of the waves replaces the city buzz.

Housing types & architecture

Low-rise, Mediterranean-inspired buildings with 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and a few penthouses. Interiors are bright and airy, with neutral palettes and large terraces. Most buildings overlook the marina or sea, and all share landscaped courtyards, swimming pools, and access to the beach promenade. It’s a community built around walkability and views, not height and density.

Insider tip from KR

For the best sunrise views, choose a unit facing the marina on the upper levels of La Cote. You’ll get soft morning light, a peaceful water backdrop, and direct access to the quietest stretch of the beach.
