Bulgari Lighthouse

Bulgari Lighthouse is a single residential tower on Jumeira Bay Island, developed by Meraas in Jumeirah, and designed around a collection of four- and five-bedroom penthouses scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2026.

# The tower and its position on Jumeira Bay Island

Jumeira Bay Island sits off Jumeirah Beach Road, connected to the mainland by a dedicated bridge approximately 300 metres in length. The island's shape, often compared to a seahorse, positions it within the Arabian Gulf while keeping Downtown Dubai roughly 16 minutes by car. It is anchored by the Bulgari Resort Dubai, which sets the tone for the surrounding residential and hospitality fabric.

The Lighthouse itself draws its architectural language from coral forms: the building's structural plates widen as the tower rises, creating a profile that broadens toward the upper floors rather than tapering. The result is a silhouette that reads differently from the ground than it does from the water. Construction is currently 63.61 per cent complete.

# Residences, layouts and finish

The tower holds penthouses at the four- and five-bedroom scale. Larger units include private swimming pools and private lift access. All residences open onto expansive balconies designed to frame uninterrupted views across the Gulf and toward the Dubai skyline.

Interior specification leans on natural materials: wide oak flooring, silk-clad columns, natural leather, and silk wallpaper in the living areas, which are enclosed by curved glass façades. Kitchens feature stone flooring, oak boiserie panelling and a precious-marble island, with a separate concealed wet kitchen behind. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet with direct balcony access.

The residences are delivered semi-furnished, with a service charge of 20 AED per square foot. The project's escrow account is registered under number 1006015919.

# Amenities on the island

The amenity offering is curated rather than extensive. A 50-metre horizon pool and a beach-edge pool provide the primary aquatic facilities, set within Mediterranean gardens. A small gym is available on site, alongside concierge service. The Bulgari Yacht Club, accessible to residents, extends the lifestyle offer to the water itself, with a marina adding a dimension that most Dubai addresses cannot replicate.

# Connections to the city and the neighbourhood

The island's seclusion is relative. Jumeirah Open Beach is 9 minutes by car, 3.6 kilometres away. Mercato Shopping Mall on Jumeirah Beach Road sits at the same driving time, approximately 3.7 kilometres. Downtown Dubai, with the DIFC and Dubai Mall within its radius, is 7.7 kilometres and around 16 minutes. Safa Park, one of Dubai's more genuinely used public green spaces, is 15 minutes in the other direction. JSS Private School is 5.2 kilometres away, relevant for buyers with school-age children factoring in the Jumeirah corridor's established international school landscape.

# What Bulgari Lighthouse represents for the right buyer profile

The project is currently sold out, which makes it relevant primarily to buyers tracking the secondary market or seeking to understand the pricing tier it occupies. As a benchmark, it sits at the far upper end of Dubai's residential spectrum, comparable in positioning to a small number of branded residences that carry genuine hospitality infrastructure rather than a licence arrangement.

For buyers from the UK, Europe or Asia accustomed to the language of Mayfair or the 8th arrondissement, the island model is the closest structural equivalent Dubai has produced: limited supply, a single-brand identity across resort and residence, and a physical separation from the city that does not require leaving it entirely. That combination, on a near-complete building, is increasingly difficult to find at any price.
