Bayside Marina Residences, Umm Al Quwain: Sobha Realty's Island Entry
Sobha Realty's Bayside Marina Residences occupies Siniyah Island, inside the Umm Al Quwain Marina district. The project offers apartments and duplexes across a price range from AED 1,490,191 to AED 5,386,530. That spread reflects a genuine jump from compact 1-bedroom apartments to a full 3-bedroom duplex format at the top of the stack.
Siniyah Island, Umm Al Quwain: What This Location Actually Means
This project sits on Siniyah Island, within Umm Al Quwain Marina. Umm Al Quwain is roughly an hour's drive north of Dubai and about 30 minutes from Sharjah. The location reads as a waterfront destination rather than a daily commuter base. Buyers here tend to fall into two camps: those looking for a second home or residential escape, and investors drawn to the waterfront positioning at a price point below Dubai or Abu Dhabi equivalents.
From AED 1.49M to AED 5.39M: What the Numbers Mean
The price spread breaks down by product type.
The 1-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,490,191 and range from 514 to 628 sq ft across multiple layouts. The per-square-foot cost runs from roughly AED 2,370 to AED 2,900. This is the entry tier, suited to investors or single occupants wanting island-located stock at an accessible price.
2-bedroom apartments start at AED 1,682,243, a step up of AED 192,000 from the 1-bedroom base. Units range from 686 to 1,070 sq ft across various layouts. A buyer can choose between a compact two-bed or a genuinely spacious one depending on which layout they select. This tier suits couples or small families who want enough space to live comfortably without stepping into the duplex price bracket.
At the top sits the 3-bedroom duplex: 2,158 sq ft starting at AED 5,386,530, or around AED 2,496 per sq ft. The jump to this tier is steep. You're paying for the format itself: multi-level living, more room separation, and a footprint that the apartment range cannot match.
Apartments vs Duplexes: Two Different Buyers
The apartment inventory is the volume product here. The 1-bed units offer an affordable entry. The 2-beds give flexibility in size without crossing the AED 5M line.
The duplex is a different animal. At 2,158 sq ft with a multi-level layout, it targets a buyer looking for a family residence rather than an investment unit. The size, format, and price all point clearly to an end-user purchase.
What the Amenity Set Tells You
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Green | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
On-site restaurants and an indoor pool suit a self-contained island setting well. The indoor pool provides year-round swim access. Restaurants reduce the need to travel off the island for meals. The children's play area and landscaped gardens support a family living profile. The amenity set reads as mid-tier residential: practical, family-oriented, and complete without excess.
March 2029: Three Years on the Off-Plan Clock
Construction broke ground in February 2025. The expected completion is March 2029. Buyers entering now face approximately three years before handover. For investors, that is a meaningful hold period. For end-users, it is a mid-range off-plan timeline.
The 40% Handover Payment
| Payment Stage | Share |
|---|---|
| During construction | 60% |
| At handover | 40% |
Sixty percent of the purchase price is paid during construction, with 40% due at handover in March 2029. There is no post-handover payment plan. The full remaining balance falls at the point of key collection.
