Yachtside Marina Residences: Apartments on Siniyah Island, Umm Al Quwain
Yachtside Marina Residences is a residential apartment development by Sobha Realty, located on Siniyah Island within the Umm Al Quwain Marina district. The project sits in a different emirate from Dubai, which shapes both the lifestyle on offer and the investment context.
Siniyah Island and What the Location Means
Siniyah Island is a natural island within the Umm Al Quwain Marina, roughly an hour's drive north of Dubai Marina. The setting is waterfront and quieter than any established Dubai residential district.
For a buyer who commutes to Dubai, that drive is a real daily factor. For a remote worker, a retiree, or someone explicitly looking for a quieter base outside the city, the marina island setting is the core appeal. The address is not a stepping stone to Dubai's urban activity. It is a deliberate departure from it, and the buyer who fits this project has made that choice intentionally.
One Bedroom or Two: Reading the Price Range
Prices run from AED 1,417,000 to AED 1,765,854. The spread maps directly to bedroom count. One-bedroom apartments in Tower B start at roughly AED 1.42 million, with floor areas ranging from 513 to 626 sq ft across six different layouts. Two-bedroom units all start at AED 1,765,854 and range from 685 sq ft to 1,220 sq ft, with considerably more size variation across the different two-bedroom layouts than the price tag suggests.
The one-bedroom entry point suits a single buyer or an investor wanting a lower-ticket position in a marina setting. The two-bedroom buyer gets substantially more living space for an incremental price step, but should pay attention to the size spread: 685 sq ft and 1,220 sq ft are very different apartments at the same starting price. Layout selection matters here.
What the Amenity Set Signals
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Infinity Pool, Gymnasium, Leisure Lounge |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Golf Course |
| Retail & Dining | Restaurants, Retail Facilities |
The golf course is the standout item. Combined with the marina address, the infinity pool, and the landscaped grounds, it points to a resort-influenced residential concept rather than a standard city apartment block.
Restaurants and retail on site reduce dependence on external infrastructure, which matters given the project's island location outside Dubai's service network. The amenity package targets buyers who want leisure and daily conveniences fully contained within the development.
A Four-Year Off-Plan Commitment
Construction began in May 2025. Expected completion is June 2029. Buyers entering now are purchasing off-plan with over three years of build programme remaining. Capital is committed until handover in mid-2029, and the project is in an early stage of construction.
For buyers comfortable with that timeline, there is a defined delivery date. For those who need shorter horizons or an immediate occupancy, this project does not fit that profile.
Getting In for 20%
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 40% |
| At handover | 40% |
The entry requirement is 20% down. The construction tranche covers 40%, paid across milestones during the build phase through to June 2029. The final 40% falls due at handover.
A buyer entering today commits 20% upfront, manages instalment payments through 2029, and settles the remaining 40% at keys. All payments complete at handover, with no post-handover instalment schedule.
