The Meriva Collection by Ellington Properties is a master-planned beachfront destination on Island B of Dubai Islands, designed as a complete coastal environment rather than a conventional standalone residential project. The development brings together residences, hospitality, landscaped gardens, interconnected waterways, extensive lifestyle amenities and direct access to the waterfront within one integrated masterplan. The collection is structured around five distinct projects. Three form the main residential offering: Meriva Sunset, Meriva Gardens and Meriva Shores, while the wider development also includes a 5-Star Hotel and Meriva Signature, an exclusive G+2 penthouse-only residential building designed as the most private and limited residential component within the collection. A defining feature of The Meriva Collection is the relationship between architecture, landscape and water. Buildings are arranged around greenery and lagoon-style waterways, while pedestrian routes connect the different parts of the development with its amenities and beachfront. The design takes inspiration from the organic curves and natural flow of the landscape, with architecture and outdoor spaces conceived as a continuous composition rather than separate elements.
Developed by Ellington Properties, The Meriva Collection occupies a beachfront site on Island B of Dubai Islands. Rather than following a uniform multi-tower format, the master development combines five individually positioned components, each contributing a different residential or hospitality experience to the overall destination. The principal residential projects are Meriva Sunset, Meriva Gardens and Meriva Shores. These are complemented by a 5-Star Hotel and Meriva Signature, a highly exclusive G+2 building reserved entirely for penthouse residences. This structure gives the collection a broader character than a conventional apartment development, combining mainstream premium residences, ultra-exclusive penthouse living and hospitality within the same waterfront masterplan. The main residential buildings vary considerably in height. Meriva Sunset forms the tallest part of the collection with a G+20 configuration, Meriva Gardens rises to G+10, and Meriva Shores follows a lower-rise G+6 format. Meriva Signature, by contrast, is deliberately limited to G+2, reinforcing its low-density and exclusive penthouse positioning. The variation in building heights creates a layered architectural profile across the development, transitioning from elevated residences towards lower beachfront and garden-oriented buildings. Across Meriva Sunset, Gardens and Shores, the residential offering includes one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, complemented by selected corner layouts, homes with study rooms, dual-aspect residences and penthouses. Meriva Signature extends the collection into a more exclusive segment by offering a building dedicated solely to penthouse residences. Views vary according to building position and residence orientation, ranging from open ocean and beachfront outlooks to landscaped gardens, internal waterways and lagoon-style water features. Meriva Sunset occupies the collection’s highest viewpoint and is designed around expansive ocean vistas, while the lower-rise sections establish a closer relationship with the gardens, waterways and beachfront. The residential components are offered on a freehold basis and are scheduled for anticipated completion in Q2 2030.
The Meriva Collection is situated on Island B of Dubai Islands, giving the development a direct oceanfront position within one of Dubai’s major coastal districts. The site has been designed as a pedestrian-focused waterfront enclave, with landscaped pathways and meandering waterways connecting the buildings, gardens, amenities and beach. This arrangement encourages walking and cycling within the development while maintaining access to the wider city. Its location allows residents to experience a distinctly coastal environment without being isolated from Dubai’s established business, transport and lifestyle destinations. Within the masterplan, the focus remains on greenery, water, outdoor movement and beachfront living, creating a clear separation from the more urban character of central Dubai. According to Ellington’s project materials, Dubai Islands Mall is approximately 5 minutes away, while Dubai International Airport and Dubai Festival City Mall are around 18 minutes from the development. Port Rashid and Gold Souq Metro Station are approximately 20 minutes away, and the Museum of the Future is around 25 minutes away. DIFC can be reached in approximately 30 minutes, while Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall are around 35 minutes away. Palm Jumeirah is approximately 45 minutes from the project. The combination of a beachfront setting and practical connectivity is therefore one of The Meriva Collection’s defining characteristics, offering a resort-inspired residential environment while retaining convenient access to central Dubai.
The Meriva Collection occupies a direct beachfront site, making the coastline an integral part of the development rather than simply a distant view. Private beach access, open-water outlooks and close proximity to the sea strengthen its positioning within Dubai’s premium waterfront residential market. The project plans specifically identify a private beach as part of the residential environment.
Rather than being organised as a collection of isolated towers, The Meriva Collection combines five distinct components within one integrated waterfront setting. Meriva Sunset, Meriva Gardens and Meriva Shores provide the main residential offering, while the hotel adds a hospitality dimension and Meriva Signature introduces an exclusive low-rise, penthouse-only residential concept. These components are connected through landscaped areas, waterways, pedestrian circulation and shared lifestyle infrastructure.
The project provides a broad range of amenities across the masterplan, including adult and children’s pools, fitness facilities, yoga and Pilates spaces, jogging and cycling routes, padel and basketball courts, children’s play areas, barbecue facilities, social spaces, a pool bar, landscaped seating areas and retail components. The scale and variety of these facilities give the development a resort-style character and allow residents to access recreation, wellness and social spaces without leaving the community.
The Meriva Collection serves different segments of the premium residential market through a wide range of configurations. Sunset, Gardens and Shores offer residences from one to four bedrooms, together with larger dual-aspect homes and penthouses. At the upper end of the collection, Meriva Signature is positioned separately as a G+2 penthouse-only building, creating a substantially more limited and private residential proposition.
The residential components are offered on a freehold basis, combining ownership in a beachfront setting with practical access to key parts of Dubai. Dubai International Airport, DIFC, Downtown Dubai and major retail and lifestyle destinations remain within the travel times indicated in Ellington’s project materials. This balance between coastal living and city accessibility adds practical value to the project’s overall residential proposition.
