Sun Island Villas

Sun Island Villas is a completed collection of 22 waterfront villas by Ajmal Makan, situated in Al Hamriya on the northeastern coast of Sharjah, within the broader Sharjah Waterfront City development. Residences range from four to seven bedrooms, with prices beginning at AED 3.075 million and reaching AED 7.9 million.

# The setting: an island community on the Arabian Gulf coast

Sharjah Waterfront City organises itself across a series of interconnected islands, separated by natural tidal canals along a coastline that stretches for 36 kilometres. Sun Island Villas occupies one of these islands, a position that gives the community genuine separation from the urban density of greater Sharjah without placing residents at an inconvenient remove from the region's road network.

The development is small by Gulf standards. Twenty-two villas on a single site means a density that most large-scale master plans in Dubai or Sharjah cannot match. That restraint is the project's clearest architectural statement. Green and landscaped areas make up a substantial share of the site, giving the streets between villas space to breathe.

Construction completed in December 2024. Every unit is ready to occupy.

# Residences, layouts and specification

The villa range covers four-bedroom, five-bedroom and seven-bedroom configurations. The four-bedroom homes measure 2,774 square feet, priced between AED 3.075 million and AED 3.125 million. Five-bedroom villas span either approximately 3,079 or 3,799 square feet, with pricing from AED 4.25 million to AED 6.3 million depending on the specific plot and configuration. The seven-bedroom villa reaches 5,120 square feet at AED 7.9 million.

All residences are delivered semi-furnished. Interior specification includes marble and high-quality porcelain tile finishes, branded kitchen fittings, and full bathroom provision across all rooms, with the option of shower or bathtub per room. Doors and windows carry high-specification ratings. Each villa integrates a home automation system with intercom and video functionality, allowing residents to manage climate and household appliances centrally.

The service charge runs at 4 AED per square foot annually.

# Amenities on site

The community's amenity offer is self-contained for day-to-day living. A swimming pool, gym, steam and sauna facility, and jogging trails cover the fitness and wellness side. A kids' play area and retail outlets sit within the development, alongside restaurant options. Beach access is included, a material point for a site of this type, where direct waterfront access is the distinguishing feature rather than an incidental bonus.

# Connections and nearby infrastructure

Al Hamriya sits within reach of several of the region's major road arteries, giving residents access to Dubai, Sharjah city and the northern emirates without committing to a single corridor. Sharjah Airport lies approximately 33 kilometres away. Al Hamriyah Beach is around 8.7 kilometres from the site. Mall of UAQ is roughly 13.7 kilometres distant.

The location places buyers between Dubai and the quieter northern emirates, a position that suits those who need periodic access to the city but have no interest in living inside it.

# Who this development suits, and where it sits in the market

At AED 3.075 million for a completed, semi-furnished four-bedroom villa with beach access and a service charge of 4 AED per square foot, Sun Island Villas occupies a price bracket that remains genuinely difficult to find in comparable waterfront settings closer to central Dubai. The trade-off is geography: Al Hamriya is not a Dubai address, and buyers need to be comfortable with that.

For GCC buyers seeking a permanent or seasonal retreat, the appeal is the coastal setting combined with a community small enough to feel private. For European or Asian investors, the completed status removes development risk from the equation entirely, which is a consideration that has grown more significant following delivery delays across several Dubai master plans over recent years.

The 22-villa count creates an inherent scarcity that larger projects cannot replicate. Whether that translates into long-term capital appreciation depends on infrastructure development across the Sharjah Waterfront City master plan, but as a move-in-ready product at current pricing, the fundamentals are straightforward to assess.
