Pearl Jumeirah & La Mer: homes, prices and an agent who works there
Two neighbouring waterfront communities in Jumeirah 1, both developed by Meraas, and home to 14 of Žiedūnė Janulė’s 23 current listings. What you can buy there, and what her own listings and deals say about prices.
Pearl Jumeirah and La Mer at a glance
Pearl Jumeirah is a man-made island of custom-built villas just off Jumeirah Beach. La Mer is the beachfront destination next to it, with waterfront townhouses at Sur La Mer and low-rise apartments around the marina at Port de La Mer. Both are Meraas master developments in Jumeirah 1, and foreign buyers own homes in both.
- Homes: villas on Pearl Jumeirah; villas and townhouses at Sur La Mer; one- to five-bedroom apartments and penthouses at Port de La Mer.
- Market: the original Meraas phases of Sur La Mer and Port de La Mer are listed as sold out, so buying there today means resale.
- Prices in her current listings: AED 3.9M for a two-bedroom Port de La Mer apartment up to AED 118M for a custom Pearl Jumeirah villa (November 2026).
Pearl Jumeirah: an island of custom villas
Meraas describes Pearl Jumeira as an island “just off Jumeirah Beach, near Dubai Maritime City”, spread across 8.3 million square feet, with private beach access, Gulf views and plots for custom-built villas and mansions. The island is also home to the Nikki Beach Resort & Spa.
Because owners build to their own design, no two villas are alike: size, finish and the plot’s position on the water drive the price far more than bedroom count. In Žiedūnė’s current listings, Pearl Jumeirah villas have five to seven bedrooms and roughly 9,700 to 13,000 sq ft of built-up area.
La Mer: Sur La Mer townhouses and Port de La Mer apartments
Meraas calls La Mer a waterfront destination in Jumeirah 1 with a mix of beach, marina, leisure and dining, built around a marina and yacht club of more than 190 berths. Two residential parts matter most to buyers:
Sur La Mer
Waterfront townhouses and villas with three to five bedrooms, looking over the Gulf and the city skyline. Meraas lists the project as sold out, so homes come up only as resales.
Port de La Mer
Meraas describes Port de La Mer as the first freehold master community in Jumeirah 1, where foreign nationals can own property. It is a low-rise neighbourhood of apartments from one bedroom to penthouses, in phases such as La Cote and La Rive, plus the Le Ciel buildings, around the marina at the tip of La Mer’s northern peninsula. Meraas puts it about ten minutes from Downtown Dubai and fifteen from Dubai International Airport.
Meraas also lists newer La Mer projects, such as Solaya and Jumeirah Asora Bay, which are sold directly by the developer.
Prices: what her current listings show
These figures come only from Žiedūnė’s own current listings in the two communities (November 2026). They are asking prices, not valuations, and the sample is small, so treat them as a guide to the range rather than a market average.
| Segment | Listings | Asking price range | Median |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pearl Jumeirah villas for sale (5–7 bed) | 4 | AED 34.95M – 118M | AED 46.5M |
| Sur La Mer villas and townhouses for sale (3–5 bed) | 4 | AED 14.5M – 36.5M | AED 32.2M |
| Port de La Mer apartments for sale (2–3 bed) | 3 | AED 3.9M – 10.5M | AED 6.8M |
| Villas and townhouses for rent (4–7 bed) | 3 | AED 800,000 – 2.9M a year | AED 1.05M a year |
Every property for sale in this table is priced above AED 2 million, the purchase value the Dubai Land Department names for the investor Golden Visa. Before an offer, Žiedūnė compares the asking price with recent transactions in the same building or cluster.

Who these homes suit
- Families who want a villa on the water rather than a tower: Pearl Jumeirah for space and privacy, Sur La Mer for a townhouse a short walk from the beach.
- Buyers of a beachfront apartment in a low-rise setting with a marina: Port de La Mer.
- Owners abroad who want a second home in central Dubai and may later let it.
- Buyers looking at the Golden Visa, since homes here are priced above the AED 2 million purchase value the DLD names for it.

Questions
Can foreigners buy property in Pearl Jumeirah and La Mer?
Yes. Foreign buyers own homes in both communities. Meraas describes Port de La Mer as the first freehold master community in Jumeirah 1, open to foreign nationals. The type of ownership is recorded on the title deed, so check it for the specific property before an offer. A non-resident can register a purchase at the Dubai Land Department with a passport.
What types of homes are in Pearl Jumeirah?
Pearl Jumeirah is a Meraas island off Jumeirah Beach with plots for custom-built villas and mansions, so most homes are large, individually designed villas. In Žiedūnė Janulė’s current listings they have five to seven bedrooms, with asking prices from AED 34.95 million to AED 118 million (November 2026).
What is the difference between Sur La Mer and Port de La Mer?
Both are in La Mer, Jumeirah 1, developed by Meraas. Sur La Mer is waterfront townhouses and villas with three to five bedrooms. Port de La Mer is a low-rise apartment community, from one bedroom to penthouses, built around a marina with more than 190 berths. Both original projects are listed by Meraas as sold out, so purchases are resales.
How much does a villa in Pearl Jumeirah or La Mer cost?
In Žiedūnė Janulė’s current listings (November 2026), Pearl Jumeirah villas are offered at AED 34.95 million to AED 118 million, with a median of AED 46.5 million. Sur La Mer villas and townhouses range from AED 14.5 million to AED 36.5 million. These are asking prices from a small sample, not valuations.
How much is an apartment in Port de La Mer?
Žiedūnė Janulė’s current Port de La Mer apartments for sale range from AED 3.9 million for a two-bedroom to AED 10.5 million for a three-bedroom corner unit in Le Ciel, with a median of AED 6.8 million (November 2026). Prices vary with the view, floor and building, so she compares recent sales in the same building.
Does buying in Pearl Jumeirah or La Mer qualify for the Golden Visa?
It can. The Dubai Land Department’s investor Golden Visa service names a property purchase value of at least AED 2 million for a 10-year renewable residence permit, and mortgaged property can qualify with a bank letter. All of Žiedūnė’s current sale listings in these communities are above that value. Rules change, so confirm before you buy.
