La Mer South

Seaside Sophistication in the Heart of the City

La Mer South is one of Dubai’s most coveted beachfront enclaves, a rare blend of contemporary villa living, uninterrupted sea views, and direct access to the city’s vibrant cultural and culinary life. Located in Jumeirah 1 and developed by Meraas, La Mer South is where modern architecture meets laid-back coastal charm, just minutes from Downtown Dubai.

This low-density, freehold community is home to a limited collection of ultra-modern villas, each custom-built, many with rooftop terraces, pools, and open sea views. For those seeking a primary residence or weekend retreat that captures the essence of luxury coastal living, La Mer South is a compelling choice.

Life in the Community

La Mer South offers a lifestyle that feels effortlessly international, morning swims, paddleboard sessions, and sunset dinners are all part of daily life. The community is exceptionally private, yet moments from Dubai’s most dynamic districts.

Residents enjoy walkable access to the La Mer beachfront promenade, home to boutiques, coffee spots, and beachfront dining. It’s a place where families, creatives, and entrepreneurs live side-by-side, drawn by the modern design, cultural energy, and relaxed rhythm.

“La Mer South is one of the few places in Dubai where you can live on the beach and still be 15 minutes from DIFC. For our clients in creative, finance, and hospitality sectors, it’s the ultimate balance... water, work, and lifestyle in one.”

Architecture & Residences

Each villa in La Mer South is architecturally distinct. The area was sold as plots, giving owners the freedom to design bespoke homes, often featuring clean lines, floor-to-ceiling glass, and minimalist interiors.

You’ll find:

  • 4- to 7-bedroom villas on generous plots
  • Rooftop terraces with views of the Arabian Gulf and Dubai skyline
  • Infinity pools, outdoor entertaining spaces, and landscaped gardens
  • Aesthetic consistency that still allows for individuality, no two homes are the same


With only a small number of homes in the entire district, La Mer South represents one of Dubai’s most exclusive freehold beachfront addresses.

“We’ve brokered multiple high-value transactions in La Mer South, including homes that sold privately before listing. This is a micro-market. Demand is high, inventory is low, and buyers are discerning. It’s a market where insight matters.”

Lifestyle & Amenities

With direct access to the sea, palm-lined promenades, and easy reach to top schools and cultural hubs, residents enjoy a unique blend of calm, convenience, and connection. It’s a neighbourhood where every day feels like a beachside escape, without ever leaving the city.

La Mer South is ideally located for families looking for proximity to top-tier international schools:

  • Jumeirah English Speaking School (JESS)
  • Swiss International Scientific School
  • Lycee Francais International Georges Pompidou
  • North London Collegiate School (Nad Al Sheba)
  • GEMS Wellington Primary School


Early years education options, including
British Orchard Nursery and Maple Bear, are just a short drive away.

Life in La Mer South revolves around the coast, with world-class leisure on your doorstep:

  • Direct beach access for residents
  • Jogging and cycling paths along the promenade
  • Water sports including paddleboarding and kayaking
  • Seafront cafés and beach clubs for casual and fine dining
  • Art galleries and concept stores within walking distance


The nearby
Laguna Waterpark and public beach areas are designed for families, while private beach zones give homeowners added exclusivity.

While La Mer South is serene by design, it’s surrounded by the best of Dubai’s urban culture:

  • La Mer Promenade offers everything from boutique gelato spots to Michelin-listed restaurants
  • City Walk, Boxpark, and Al Wasl are under 10 minutes away for shopping, fitness, and concept dining
  • Art and design fans are close to Alserkal Avenue and Jameel Arts Centre
  • Downtown Dubai is 15 minutes away, putting world-class retail and entertainment within effortless reach


It’s this connection to both city and sea that sets La Mer South apart.

Investment Outlook

La Mer South has become one of Dubai’s most tightly held beachfront communities. Villas here range between AED 30M to AED 60M, with prices influenced by plot size, design quality, and views. Due to limited supply, prices have steadily increased, and resale inventory remains scarce.

Buyers are often end users, families or UHNWIs seeking second homes. Rental demand is also growing, with seasonal or long-term lets appealing to senior executives and expats relocating to Dubai.

Eden Realty maintains access to both on-market and discreet off-market opportunities, many of which never appear on public portals.
