Meriva Shores by Ellington Properties is the beachfront residential component of The Meriva Collection, a master-planned coastal development on Island B of Dubai Islands. Positioned closest to the shoreline, the project has been designed around a direct connection to the beach, landscaped surroundings and water, creating a low-rise residential setting with a distinctly resort-inspired character. The concept of Meriva Shores is centred on natural coastal living. Open terraces, soft architectural forms and residences positioned close to the white sands allow the beachfront to function as an extension of the residential environment. Ellington describes Shores as a place where residents can move naturally between their homes, landscaped spaces and the waterfront, whether for a morning walk along the beach or a quiet evening by the water.
Developed by Ellington Properties, Meriva Shores is a freehold beachfront residential project located within The Meriva Collection on Island B of Dubai Islands. The development consists of two buildings, Tower A and Tower B, each designed as a low-rise residential structure with a G+6 configuration, together with a basement, ground level and rooftop areas. The project comprises 179 residences across the two towers, with a broad selection of layouts ranging from one-bedroom apartments to large four-bedroom residences and penthouses. The overall residential mix includes one-bedroom apartments, one-bedroom corner residences, two-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom residences with a study, three-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom corner residences, a four-bedroom dual-aspect residence and four-bedroom penthouses. The detailed floor plans show that the two towers have different unit compositions. Tower A includes one-bedroom and one-bedroom corner apartments, two-bedroom plus study residences, three-bedroom and three-bedroom corner layouts, as well as a four-bedroom penthouse on the sixth floor. Tower B adds conventional two-bedroom residences to the mix and introduces a four-bedroom plus study dual-aspect residence on the fifth floor, together with a four-bedroom penthouse on the sixth floor. The low-rise G+6 configuration is particularly important to the identity of Meriva Shores. Rather than separating residents from the landscape through a high-rise format, the architecture maintains a closer relationship with the private beach, landscaped gardens, pools and waterways that define the wider Meriva masterplan. Views vary according to unit position and orientation, with residences overlooking combinations of the private beach, sea, landscaped gardens, pools and internal waterways. The overall masterplan has been designed so that architecture and landscape work together, with buildings positioned to maximise their connection to water and greenery. Meriva Shores is offered on a freehold basis, with anticipated completion scheduled for Q2 2030. The Parking allocation is one space for one- and two-bedroom residences, two spaces for three- and four-bedroom homes, and three spaces for penthouses.
Meriva Shores is located on Island B of Dubai Islands, occupying the beachfront edge of The Meriva Collection. Its position within the masterplan gives the project one of the strongest connections to the coastline, with a private beach located immediately alongside the residential environment. The wider development has been conceived as a pedestrianised oceanfront enclave, where landscaped pathways and meandering waterways connect the residential buildings, gardens, amenities and beach. This planning approach encourages walking, cycling and outdoor movement throughout the community while maintaining connectivity to schools, business districts and lifestyle destinations elsewhere in Dubai. The location also provides practical access to established parts of the city. According to the project brief, Dubai Islands Mall is approximately 5 minutes away, while Dubai International Airport and Dubai Festival City Mall are around 18 minutes from the development. Gold Souq Metro Station and Port Rashid are approximately 20 minutes away, while the Museum of the Future is around 25 minutes away. DIFC can be reached in approximately 30 minutes, Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall in around 35 minutes, and Palm Jumeirah in approximately 45 minutes. For Meriva Shores in particular, the location offers a balance between a genuine beachfront residential environment and access to Dubai’s established commercial, transport and lifestyle infrastructure.
Meriva Shores occupies one of the most beachfront-oriented positions within The Meriva Collection, with the private beach incorporated directly into the project’s residential environment. The detailed tower plans repeatedly identify direct proximity to the Private Beach, reinforcing that the shoreline is an integral part of the development rather than simply a distant view. For buyers specifically seeking a coastal property, this physical relationship with the beach distinguishes Shores from projects where waterfront positioning is primarily visual.
Both towers follow a G+6 format, giving Meriva Shores a more intimate architectural character than a conventional high-rise beachfront tower. The relatively low-rise profile allows the residences to maintain a stronger relationship with the gardens, pools, waterways and shoreline while preserving the resort-style atmosphere of the surrounding masterplan.
Meriva Shores offers a particularly comprehensive amenity programme. Tower A incorporates an adult pool, children’s pool, fitness studio, yoga and Pilates studio, indoor and outdoor children’s play areas, outdoor fitness facilities, club lounge, barbecue area and landscaped seating spaces. Tower B provides many of the same wellness and recreational facilities while also introducing dedicated social and entertainment spaces. The project brief specifically presents a Jazz Club, Jazz Dining area, Games Room and Cinema Room, adding a more lifestyle-focused dimension to the residential offering. Residents also benefit from the wider Meriva masterplan, which includes jogging and scooter or cycling tracks, padel and basketball courts, lagoon water features, pools, landscaped seating areas, retail spaces and other communal facilities.
With 179 residences, Meriva Shores offers a diverse range of layouts while maintaining a limited number of its largest premium homes. The inventory ranges from one-bedroom apartments to three-bedroom family residences, while the upper floors include only a small number of four-bedroom configurations and penthouses. This creates a clear distinction between the project’s core residential inventory and its larger premium units.
Meriva Shores follows a staged 70/30 payment structure, with 70% payable during construction milestones, followed by the remaining 30% on completion. The structure begins with a 20% booking payment.
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| At the Time of Booking | 20% |
| During Construction | 50% |
| On Completion | 30% |
