Port de La Mer
Mediterranean style marina apartments at La Mer, Jumeirah.
Living in Port de La Mer
Port de La Mer is a waterfront community by Meraas at La Mer, on the coast of Jumeirah 1. Its low rise buildings are designed in a Mediterranean style, with pastel colours, balconies and a private marina, and residents are a short walk from the La Mer beach and promenade.
It is one of the few freehold pockets in Jumeirah, which makes it popular with foreign buyers who want a beach home close to Downtown and City Walk. The feel is relaxed and village like, with cafés and restaurants along the water.
Buildings are arranged around the marina and small squares, with cafés and shops on the ground floor. Residents can walk to the beach, the La Mer restaurants and the water park, and the Dubai skyline is visible across the water. It feels more like a seaside village than a typical Dubai tower community.

For investors
Port de La Mer usually returns around 5% to 6% gross. Its rare freehold status in Jumeirah, the beach and the marina support demand from both buyers and tenants.
Sales activity slowed in 2026 after a busy period, which gives buyers more room to negotiate. We compare recent sales by building and view before you make an offer.
