Marea Residences – Redefining Coastal Luxury at Dubai Islands
Marea Residences by Sharafi Development is an exclusive 14-storey beachfront complex on Dubai Islands, designed as a sculpted architectural landmark inspired by the movement of the sea. The development features a limited collection of 1–3 bedroom apartments and penthouses with private Jacuzzis, premium finishes, and expansive terraces overlooking the sea and Dubai skyline.
Architectural Identity — Crafted by the Sea
Marea’s façade is defined by its fluid, wave-like geometry and soft curves that echo the movement of water. Tiered podiums and deep balconies create visual depth and privacy, while the dark-and-light exterior palette gives the building a bold yet elegant coastal presence. Each elevation is designed to capture sunlight, reflect the sea, and enhance the sense of movement and tranquillity.
Interior Excellence — European Craftsmanship
Every residence features bespoke interiors with high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and natural materials in warm neutral tones. Open-plan kitchens come equipped with premium appliances and quartz countertops, while spa-inspired bathrooms are finished with refined stone textures. Select units include private terraces with Jacuzzis, blending indoor sophistication with outdoor relaxation.
Limited Collection — Privacy and Prestige
The development includes only a select number of residences, ensuring exclusivity and a boutique living environment. The mix includes a single 1-bedroom unit, 63 two-bedroom apartments, and a limited penthouse collection. Select penthouses offering rooftop pools, maid’s rooms, and expansive entertainment terraces. This limited inventory makes Marea a rare investment opportunity within Dubai Islands’ luxury segment.
