Overview
Marasi Bay Community Overview
Master Developer
Omniyat, a design-led developer focused on ultra-luxury real estate and architectural excellence across Dubai.
Location
Inside the Burj Khalifa District on the Dubai Canal, one of Dubai's most central waterfront addresses.
Entry Price
Residences from AED 25.75M ≈ USD 7.01M at VELA Viento, the district's current entry point.
Delivery Status
The Lana Residences is complete and occupied; VELA, VELA Viento, and ENARA remain under construction.
Marasi Bay is Omniyat's ultra-luxury waterfront destination on the Dubai Canal, planned as a private, architecture-driven enclave rather than a dense urban district. Branded residences, Grade-A office space, and hospitality sit side by side within a deliberately small collection of landmark buildings, each designed by globally recognised architects and interior studios.
For buyers, the appeal is scarcity in a central location. Supply is capped by the size of the masterplan, three of the four Omniyat projects are still in construction, and the completed one, The Lana Residences, already trades on the secondary market. Entry sits firmly in the ultra-prime bracket, and unit selection, canal frontage, and release stage drive the outcome more than the address alone.

The Marasi Bay Masterplan on the Dubai Canal
Marasi Bay is laid out as a curated sequence of buildings along the canal rather than a grid of plots. Omniyat controls the masterplan, and each landmark is placed to hold its own water frontage, its own arrival sequence, and an unobstructed relationship to the promenade that ties the destination together.
The Lana Residences anchors the hospitality end under the Dorchester Collection. VELA by OMNIYAT and VELA Viento form the residential core with marina and sky residences, while ENARA introduces the commercial layer. The result is a compact, high-value enclave inside a district otherwise known for scale.

FAQ
Marasi Bay Frequently Asked Questions
Marasi Bay is an ultra-luxury waterfront destination developed by Omniyat along the Dubai Canal, inside the Burj Khalifa District. It brings branded residences, Grade-A offices, and hospitality together in a low-density, design-led environment rather than a high-rise urban zone.
Marasi Bay sits in central Dubai on the Dubai Canal, minutes from Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai Design District, with direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road.
Omniyat is the master developer. The company is known for architecture-driven, ultra-luxury projects and is behind The Lana, VELA, VELA Viento, and ENARA inside Marasi Bay.
The destination offers branded residences, ultra-luxury apartments and penthouses, Grade-A office floors, and mixed-use developments. Every typology is positioned around design, exclusivity, and canal frontage rather than volume.
Residences currently start from AED 25.75 million, approximately USD 7.01 million, at VELA Viento. The Lana Residences start from AED 26.5 million, approximately USD 7.2 million, and VELA from AED 35.7 million, approximately USD 9.72 million. Office floors at ENARA start from AED 79.98 million, approximately USD 21.8 million.
The Lana Residences is already complete and occupied. VELA is scheduled for Q4 2027, while VELA Viento and ENARA are both scheduled for Q4 2028.
The off-plan projects run on 60/40 plans, split across booking, construction milestones, and handover. The Lana Residences, being complete, runs on a 75/25 structure. Terms are set per project and change between releases.
Yes. The developments within Marasi Bay are freehold, so international buyers can own their property outright in one of Dubai's prime central districts.
Both sit along the Dubai Canal, but Marasi Bay is a low-density, ultra-luxury enclave of a handful of design-led landmarks. Business Bay is a far larger, higher-density mixed-use district with a much wider price and product range.
It is positioned as a low-supply, high-value segment of central Dubai. The combination of limited inventory, Dorchester Collection branding, and canal-front positioning supports long-term capital appreciation, though outcomes depend heavily on the specific project and unit.
The main cost is the 4 percent Dubai Land Department registration fee, plus administrative and registration trustee charges. Off-plan purchases are recorded in the DLD's interim registry and payments go into the project's DLD-registered escrow account. Dubai levies no annual property tax; owners pay service charges based on unit size.
Yes. Reservation, the sales and purchase agreement, and payment can all be completed from abroad, with signing handled electronically or through a power of attorney. Payments go into the project's DLD-registered escrow account, never to an individual. The process is set out in the Dubai real estate guide library.
