Ellington Villa Collection

The Ellington Villa Collection is a single private villa developed by Ellington Properties in Port De La Mer, Jumeirah, delivered semi-furnished and targeted at buyers seeking a fully specified, standalone residential compound with private pool infrastructure and dedicated basement parking at scale.

# A Single Villa, Built to Compound Logic

Port De La Mer occupies a man-made peninsula extending into the Arabian Gulf off La Mer, the Meraas-developed coastal strip that reoriented Jumeirah's relationship with its waterfront. Ellington's villa sits within this setting as a self-contained structure across four floors, conceived less as a house than as a private estate compressed onto a single plot.

The architectural approach prioritises internal volume and vertical connectivity. A spiral staircase clad in marble anchors the ground floor circulation. Partial glass flooring at ground level reveals the basement below, and bespoke floor-to-ceiling sliding pocket windows dissolve the boundary between interior rooms and the pool deck. Two passenger lifts serve the upper floors alongside a dedicated car lift.

Scale here is residential but the specification reads institutional. That distinction matters in a district where most competing stock is apartment-based.

# Floors, Finishes and the Detail Work

The villa is organised across a basement, ground floor, first floor and roof level, each with a defined programme rather than a generic floor plan.

The basement houses a six-car parking garage with car lift and turntable, a fitness studio fitted with European-manufactured equipment, a spa containing massage room, steam room, sauna and rain shower, and a cinema room seating eight to ten with acoustic fittings. Staff accommodation runs to three ensuite bedrooms with a dedicated laundry room.

The ground floor opens with a functional aquarium at the entrance and carries a show kitchen alongside a separate prep kitchen with cold store. A prayer room with ablution is included. The master suite and additional bedrooms occupy the first floor, the master bathroom integrating a Jacuzzi, electric fireplace and glass ceiling. Bedrooms feature custom vanities and branded walk-in closets.

Finishes throughout are semi-furnished but heavily specified: in-floor TV lift, automated audio and outdoor speaker system, fully automated smart home technology, and European-branded kitchen appliances across both kitchen volumes.

# Amenity Provision Across Four Levels

The outdoor infrastructure runs across the ground and roof floors and does not repeat itself between levels.

At ground level, a 5 x 19 metre infinity-edge pool includes eight built-in submerged loungers and a Baja shelf, with a separate pool spa offering hot and cold plunge options and recessed covers. The deck accommodates sunken seating, an outdoor lounge with built-in fireplace, pop-up television and a fully equipped barbecue station.

The roof adds a second pool with Jacuzzi and a glass-bottomed section, alongside an indoor-outdoor bar, dining area and outdoor kitchen. Automated sliding glass panels separate zones on the lower level between the pool, game area, parking and gym.

A fitness studio overlooking the pool deck provides an additional dedicated exercise space distinct from the basement gym.

# Port De La Mer and Its Proximities

Beach Park Plaza sits 1.6 kilometres away, a five-minute drive. The wider beach park is reachable in eight minutes. Downtown Dubai is 11.1 kilometres to the east, approximately 18 minutes by car, and Dubai International Airport is 22.3 kilometres out, around 29 minutes in normal traffic. Hadiba School of Dubai is 4.5 kilometres away for families factoring schooling into their decision.

The peninsula's geography creates a degree of natural separation from the main arterial roads of Jumeirah, which suits residents who value controlled access and a lower-density residential environment without distance from central Dubai.

# What This Villa Is For, and Who Buys It

With a service charge set at 4 AED per square foot, this is a holding with recurring costs structured for owner-occupation rather than passive investment. The basement cinema, six-car garage with showroom lighting, dual-kitchen setup and staff quarters point toward a principal residence or a primary Dubai base for an internationally mobile household.

Buyers comparing this against other Jumeirah villa stock will find fewer competitors that combine a coastal peninsula address with this level of embedded infrastructure across basement, ground and roof. The Ellington brand has built a consistent reputation for finish quality in the mid-to-upper residential segment, and this project sits at the top of that range. Completion is scheduled for Q4 2024, and the collection is currently out of stock, positioning any available resale or secondary transaction within a limited and defined supply.
