Baystar by Vida at Rashid Yachts & Marina by Emaar Properties

Baystar by Vida is a VIDA branded residential project by Emaar Properties in Rashid Yachts & Marina, Mina Rashid. It comprises two mid-rise towers with 319 apartments, 177 in Tower 1 and 142 in Tower 2, offering one to four bedroom layouts on the Marina Promenade, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029.

One bedroom apartments start from AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K (728 to 1,029 sq ft), two bedroom apartments from AED 3.20M ≈ USD 871K (1,223 to 1,921 sq ft), three bedroom apartments from AED 4.90M ≈ USD 1.33M (1,701 to 1,704 sq ft), and four bedroom apartments from AED 11.30M ≈ USD 3.08M (2,900 to 2,949 sq ft). The final price of a specific unit depends on its floor, view, and the release it belongs to.

The developer launched Baystar by Vida on an 80/20 plan: 10% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, seven instalments of 10% scheduled between Sep 2025 and Oct 2028, and a final 20% in Dec 2029 on completion. Because the earliest instalment dates on that schedule have passed, the payment timetable for a new booking is confirmed by Emaar at reservation.

Handover is scheduled for Q4 2029. The project is in its early construction phase, and progress against RERA inspection data is tracked in the Baystar by Vida construction updates guide.

Baystar by Vida stands on the Marina Promenade in Rashid Yachts & Marina, Mina Rashid, with road access via Sheikh Rashid Road and Al Mina Road. By car, Al Shindagha Heritage is 18 minutes away, Dubai International Airport 20 minutes, Downtown Dubai 25 minutes, and Dubai Marina 30 minutes.

Residents get an indoor and outdoor gym, an infinity swimming pool with a yoga deck, a kids play area and kids swimming pool, a sports court, a multipurpose room, a barbecue area, landscaped gardens, and retail spaces, alongside signature VIDA amenities.

Yes. Baystar by Vida is a freehold property, open to all nationalities, so international buyers can own their apartment outright in their own name.

Every unit type at Baystar by Vida is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, starting with one bedroom apartments from AED 2.10M ≈ USD 572K. The dedicated Baystar by Vida Golden Visa guide covers the eligibility steps, including how off plan purchases are assessed.

All off plan payments are made into the project's DLD-registered escrow account and released to the developer only against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The project specifics are set out in the Baystar by Vida escrow account guide.

Baystar by Vida is developed by Emaar Properties, the developer behind Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. Emaar reported revenue of AED 35.5 Bn for 2024 and has delivered approximately 118,400+ residential units in Dubai and other global markets since 2002.

VIDA shapes the design and amenity concept of the project: the interiors follow the brand's signature style, with textured accent walls, warm wooden screens, and bronze detailing, and the shared spaces carry signature VIDA amenities. For owners, the practical points are which branded services apply after handover and how they feed into service charges, both worth confirming in the sale documents before booking.

Yes. The full process, from reservation and the booking payment to SPA signing and registration, can be completed remotely, and I manage it end to end with Emaar on your behalf. Each stage of the remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
