The Meriva Collection is Ellington Properties' first hospitality-led beachfront development — and their most ambitious release to date. Located on Island B of Dubai Islands, the project comprises five premium residential buildings, a signature beachfront residence, and a dedicated Ellington-branded hotel, all with direct beach access on Dubai's northern coastline. Phase 1, known as Meriva Sunset, introduces 903 residences across six architecturally distinct low-rise buildings set within a private, pedestrianised enclave defined by flowing waterways, curated landscapes, and uninterrupted Arabian Gulf views. Dubai Islands recorded over AED 6.1 billion in property sales in H1 2025 alone — signalling the pace at which the destination is maturing.Architecture & Design ConceptThe Meriva Collection departs from Ellington's urban high-rise typology entirely. Here, the design language is coastal and horizontal — curved architecture, layered terraces, and sunset-facing orientations that prioritise the sea over the skyline. The low-rise, low-density master plan ensures that the majority of residences capture uninterrupted sea views without the overlooking that typically characterises dense beachfront developments. Indoor-outdoor transitions are seamless throughout: floor-to-ceiling glazing, wide private balconies, and open-plan layouts that dissolve the boundary between living space and coastline.Low-rise, low-density — exclusivity and privacy by designCurved architecture with layered terraces and sunset-facing orientationsFloor-to-ceiling windows and expansive private balconies across all unitsMajority of residences: uninterrupted panoramic sea viewsPremium finishes and spacious layouts — Ellington's signature specificationSemi-furnished as standardResidences & The Signature CollectionThe full residential range spans from 1-bedroom apartments to large-format penthouses with private pools — including a limited Signature Collection of 11 exclusive penthouses with rooftop amenities:1-bedroom apartments 2-bedroom apartments 3-bedroom apartments 4-bedroom apartments & 2BR+study configurations also availableSignature Penthouses (3BR & 5BR) — 11 units with private pools & rooftop terracesTotal residences up to 7,100 sq.ft at the top of the collectionThe Ellington Hotel — A First for the BrandWhat sets The Meriva Collection apart from every other Ellington project is the integration of an on-site Ellington-branded hotel, managed by a reputable third-party hospitality operator. This is not a serviced apartment component — it is a full hotel designed to activate the destination, drive footfall to the community's dining and leisure facilities, and support short-term rental demand for residential unit owners. For investors, a hotel within the same enclave is a structural advantage: it maintains year-round vibrancy, elevates perceived asset quality, and provides a proven rental demand engine adjacent to privately owned residences.Amenities & LifestylePrivate beach with controlled resident accessAdults pool + indoor pool + lagoon water featuresFitness pavilion + outdoor gymPilates & yoga studioSaunaJazz Dining — signature waterfront dining venueBasketball courtJogging track along the beachfrontIndoor & outdoor kids' play areasLandscaped waterways and pedestrianised community groundsLocation — Dubai Islands, Island BDubai Islands is a master-planned archipelago of five islands along Dubai's northern coastline, formerly known as Deira Islands, now being transformed into one of the city's flagship waterfront destinations with over 20km of total coastline. Island B sits adjacent to the Deira Island Bridge, ensuring seamless road connectivity back to the mainland: Near Deira City Centre and Gold Souk — historic Dubai's commercial coreWithin 15 min of schools, hospitals, and retail serving the Deira/Bur Dubai catchmentDirect access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) via Deira Island BridgeAED 6.1B+ in Dubai Islands property sales recorded in H1 2025Why Invest in The Meriva CollectionThree factors converge here that are rare in a single project. First, Ellington's first hotel — the hospitality component creates a destination rather than just a residential address, supporting rental premiums and long-term capital growth. Second, structural low density — Island B's controlled development means supply is finite and the low-rise typology cannot be replicated once the island is built out. Third, timing — at AED 3,607/sq.ft for a 1-bedroom with a Q2 2030 handover and a 20/50/30 payment plan, buyers are entering at Phase 1 pricing in a market that posted AED 6.1B in sales in a single half-year. Projected beachfront rental yields of 6–8% reflect both Dubai Islands' tourism appeal and the hotel-activated demand that will follow completion. Fully freehold, open to all nationalities, all units qualify for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa.
