Sha Residence Emirates

Sha Residence Emirates, developed by IMKAN Properties on SHA Island at AlJurf between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, is a collection of 38 furnished residences across two buildings, ranging from two-bedroom apartments to six-bedroom estates, with completion scheduled for Q4 2026.

# The setting: SHA Island at AlJurf

AlJurf occupies a stretch of coastline that sits roughly midway between Abu Dhabi and Dubai, away from the density of either city. The development is conceived around SHA Island, a low-rise enclave of planted woodland, white-sand beach and waterfront access. The surrounding landscape is characterised by thousands of trees forming a continuous canopy, which gives the site an unusual quality for the Gulf: genuine shade and greenery rather than amenity landscaping applied after the fact.

IMKAN has positioned Sha Residence Emirates as the residential component of a broader SHA wellness ecosystem. With only 38 residences across two buildings, the scale is deliberately restrained. This is not a tower development competing on height or density.

# Residences, layouts and scale

The range runs from two-bedroom residences starting at 3,210 sq ft to five-bedroom estates approaching 24,800 sq ft. Prices open at approximately AED 9.47 million and reach AED 146.7 million at the upper end.

Two-bedroom residences are offered across several configurations, between 3,210 and 4,458 sq ft, already large by any international standard. Three-bedroom options span 4,462 to 5,457 sq ft. The four-bedroom format lands at approximately 8,787 sq ft, priced at AED 31.37 million. At the apex of the collection, five-bedroom residences extend to just under 24,800 sq ft with asking prices above AED 142 million.

All residences are delivered furnished. The specification draws on marble, natural fibres, native timbers and regional craft materials. Layouts are designed around maximising indoor-outdoor flow, with generous terrace space and sea-facing orientations. Each unit includes a fully equipped kitchen, en suite bathrooms throughout, and private outdoor areas.

Private swimming pools are available within the collection alongside the communal pool.

# Wellness infrastructure and on-site amenities

The defining feature of Sha Residence Emirates is direct integration with the SHA Wellness Clinic, the flagship of the SHA brand. Residents have access to the clinic's facilities on the island alongside a Mind and Body Pavilion, a Wellness Kids Pavilion, gym, kids' play area and communal and private swimming pools.

The residential offer is, in effect, structured around the clinic. This places Sha Residence Emirates in a distinct category: a property where the primary amenity is a medical-grade wellness facility rather than a restaurant or beach club.

# Position between Abu Dhabi and Dubai

AlJurf's location on the E11 corridor gives residents practical access to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai without committing to either city's pace. The site is closer to Abu Dhabi, though precise drive times are not published in the available project data. The surrounding area offers beach, forest and coastline rather than urban infrastructure, which is the point.

Service charges are set at AED 15 per sq ft for the first three years, a fixed rate that provides buyers with cost visibility during the initial ownership period.

# Who this project is built for

Sha Residence Emirates is a narrow proposition, and deliberately so. The combination of very large floor plates, delivered furnishing, a private island setting and on-site clinical wellness infrastructure targets a buyer who is not simply purchasing property in the UAE but purchasing a primary or secondary residence organised around a specific philosophy of living.

At the price points involved, particularly the upper-tier five and six-bedroom residences priced between AED 61 million and AED 146 million, the competition is not other off-plan developments in Abu Dhabi. It is private branded residences in Switzerland, Portugal and Thailand that similarly attach a health or hospitality institution to a residential product.

For buyers from the UK, Europe or Asia already familiar with SHA's clinics in Spain or Mexico, the Emirates project offers a permanent foothold in the same brand ecosystem, with the added benefit of UAE residency, zero income tax and a coastal address that is quieter than anything available in central Dubai.
