Port de La Mer

Port de La Mer is a gated residential development on a man-made peninsula in Jumeirah 1, built by Meraas. It sits within the wider La Mer beachfront destination and is one of the few communities in Dubai offering genuine marina and sea views from a low-to-mid-rise residential setting.

Location & connectivity

Port de La Mer is accessible via Jumeirah Beach Road and connects easily to Al Wasl Road. DIFC is roughly a 10-minute drive, Downtown Dubai around 15 minutes, and Dubai International Airport approximately 20 minutes. There is no metro station within walking distance — residents are car or taxi dependent.

Property mix

The development is entirely apartment-based, spread across several building clusters arranged around the marina and promenade.

• •Apartments: La Rive (Buildings A–H), Port Royale (Buildings A–C), Le Ciel (Buildings A–F)
• •Penthouses: Available within Le Ciel and La Rive towers

Schools

No schools sit within Port de La Mer itself. Nearby options include:

• •Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS) — British curriculum, ~10-min drive
• •Jumeirah Baccalaureate School — IB curriculum, ~10-min drive
• •Dubai College — British curriculum, ~15-min drive

Shopping & dining

The La Mer beachfront strip is directly adjacent and offers a strong mix of casual and sit-down dining, including concepts like Salt, Twiggy, and a Roxy Cinema. City Walk mall is a 10-minute drive for retail and supermarket needs, with a Waitrose anchor store. For larger grocery runs, Spinneys on Jumeirah Beach Road is the most convenient option.

Parks & leisure

Residents have direct pedestrian access to the La Mer beach and promenade, including a surf park and outdoor cinema area. The marina boardwalk runs through the community itself, offering waterside walking and cycling. Safa Park, a large public green space, is around a 10-minute drive away.

Things to consider

Parking within the gated community is structured but the surrounding La Mer beach draws large weekend crowds, which affects traffic on approach roads. Service charges are above average for Dubai, reflecting the marina infrastructure and gated maintenance — buyers should verify current RERA-registered rates before committing.
