Cove at Lunaya Terraces, Jebel Ali Village: What the Numbers Tell You
Cove at Lunaya Terraces is an apartment development by Zaya, located in Jebel Ali Village in Dubai's southwest corridor. Jebel Ali Village is one of the older residential communities in Dubai, lower in density than most newer master developments, with more green space and a neighbourhood feel that sets it apart from the high-rise zones closer to the coast. The project launched in June 2026, targeting completion in September 2029.
Where Jebel Ali Village Sits
Jebel Ali Village sits roughly 35 km southwest of Downtown Dubai and about 15 km from Dubai Marina. Access runs via Sheikh Zayed Road. For professionals working in JAFZA, the adjacent Jebel Ali Free Zone, the location is directly practical. For those commuting to DIFC or Business Bay daily, the drive is a real commitment. The district suits buyers who prioritise space and a quieter residential setting over central access.
What AED 2.18M to AED 4.26M Gets You
The asking range spans AED 2,181,069 to AED 4,262,350, nearly double from entry to top. The spread is driven by unit size, not just floor level.
The entry point is a 1-bedroom apartment from 1,124 to 1,190 sq ft, at AED 2,181,069. Move into a 2-bedroom and the starting price is AED 2,228,294, with sizes running from 1,749 to 2,017 sq ft across the various layouts. Three-bedroom apartments start at AED 4,262,350, covering 2,219 to 2,490 sq ft.
The per-square-foot difference between the 1BR and 3BR is relatively narrow, which means size-to-price scaling here is fairly linear. A buyer comparing the 1BR and 3BR is largely paying for the extra space, with minimal premium compression at the top.
The 1BR suits a single professional or a couple wanting a generously sized flat in a less central location. The 3BR is sized for a family that needs multiple bedrooms and does not need to be close to central Dubai.
Apartments in One, Two, and Three Bedrooms
The project is apartment-only, with all three bedroom counts available. Each bedroom tier has multiple layout variants. The 2BR category has over twenty distinct floor plan configurations, which points to a building with varied aspects and orientations across different floors and positions. Pricing within each tier is flat regardless of which layout you choose.
Amenities: Targeted at Families
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Six amenities in total. The gym and indoor pool cover fitness needs, while the landscaped gardens and children's play area back up the family positioning clearly. The on-site restaurant gives residents a dining option without leaving the development. The amenity set as a whole reads as practical and family-oriented, not lifestyle-driven.
Three Years to Handover
Construction started in June 2026 with expected completion in September 2029, giving a build period of just over three years. For a buyer entering now, that is three years of construction-phase payments before the unit is handed over.
Getting In for 25%
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 25% |
| During construction | 75% |
The payment structure is 25% upfront and 75% spread across the construction period. On the entry 1BR at AED 2,181,069, the down payment is approximately AED 545,000. On the 3BR at AED 4,262,350, it rises to around AED 1,065,000.
The full purchase price is settled before handover. There is no post-handover component, so all capital is committed during the build window.
