Bayside Marina Residences

Bayside Marina Residences is a single residential building by Sobha, situated on Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, with 114 apartments across one-, two- and three-bedroom configurations. The project is currently under construction, with completion scheduled for March 2029, and units are available for purchase now.

# The building and its position on Siniya Island

Siniya Island sits in Umm Al Quwain, north of Sharjah and roughly an hour from central Dubai. The setting is materially different from the high-density corridors of Dubai Marina or Downtown: low development density, coastal frontage, and a landscape shaped more by mangroves and open water than by urban infrastructure. Sobha, a developer with a long track record in vertically integrated construction across Dubai and the wider Gulf, is bringing its signature finish standards to this quieter northern emirate.

At 114 units across a single building, the project is deliberately contained. That scale tends to translate into fewer shared-facility pressures and a more controlled ownership environment than larger, multi-tower master plans.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The unit mix runs from one-bedroom apartments starting at approximately 614 sq ft to three-bedroom residences reaching just over 2,158 sq ft. Two-bedroom units span the widest range, from around 685 sq ft at the compact end to just above 1,115 sq ft in the larger configurations, giving buyers meaningful choice within the same bedroom count.

Three-bedroom apartments occupy the upper end of the size band, all priced between approximately AED 5.39 million and AED 5.77 million. These are the most generously proportioned homes in the building, suited to buyers who want the island setting as a primary residence rather than a pied-à-terre.

All residences come semi-furnished. Kitchens are fitted. The service charge is set at AED 17 per sq ft per year, which is a useful figure for buyers calculating holding costs against rental yield projections.

# Amenities and shared facilities

The building's amenity package is focused rather than extensive. Residents have access to a swimming pool, a fitness centre, landscaped gardens, and an outdoor play area for children. There is no mention of marina berths, beach club, or F&B facilities within the development itself, so buyers should frame expectations around a residential building with quality communal space rather than a resort-style complex.

For a 114-unit building, the provision is proportionate. Oversized amenity decks in smaller buildings often carry disproportionate service charges; the figures here suggest a more measured approach.

# Location, proximity and practical connections

The nearest named landmark to the site is Al Seaneeah, immediately adjacent. Curved Island lies 5.3 km away. Khawla Bin Hakim School is within 8 km, a relevant data point for families considering the northern Emirates as a base. City Mall is approximately 16 km out, and Ras Al Khaimah International Airport sits 43 km away, making RAK the practical air hub for residents.

Dubai International Airport is not listed in the proximity data, so buyers should factor in the drive time from Umm Al Quwain to either airport when assessing the property's suitability as a primary residence.

# Who this project suits and where it sits in the market

The pricing range, from roughly AED 1.49 million for a one-bedroom to AED 5.77 million for the largest three-bedroom, positions Bayside Marina Residences as an accessible entry point to waterfront ownership by Gulf standards, particularly when measured against equivalent Sobha product in Dubai. For GCC buyers seeking a low-density coastal address outside Dubai's busiest corridors, the Siniya Island location offers something Dubai's established waterfront districts no longer can: relative quiet and undeveloped surroundings.

For European or Asian buyers, the proposition requires a longer horizon. The island is early in its development cycle, completion is still several years out, and the supporting urban infrastructure is thinner than in Dubai proper. The upside of that position is also real: buyers entering an undersupplied coastal market at this stage, with a credible developer and a fixed March 2029 delivery date, are taking a considered long position rather than paying a premium for maturity.
