About
About Solaya by Meraas
Solaya by Meraas is the release of two buildings, Solaya 5 and Solaya 7, from a beachfront collection that Meraas describes as 234 residences in nine buildings along the Jumeirah coastline. These two buildings hold 55 residences between them, from 2 bedroom apartments to 5 bedroom penthouses, so what you are buying into is a small, clearly defined part of a larger address rather than one unit among hundreds in a tower.
Meraas developed the scheme in collaboration with Brookfield Properties, with architecture by Foster + Partners and interiors by 1508 London. My read is that the case for Solaya rests on beach frontage and low density, not on a skyline statement. End users get gated beach access, a central Beach Park and resident facilities inside the collection; investors get a product that is hard to replicate in central Dubai, low-rise apartments on the sand, which is a different proposition from another high-rise launch.
Every price, size and date on this page applies to Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 only. The other buildings in the wider Solaya collection are not covered by these figures.

Solaya Prices & Sizes
Starting prices at Solaya by Meraas run from AED 15.40M for a 2 bedroom apartment to AED 111.00M for a 5 bedroom penthouse. Each figure is the entry point for its residence type: floor, view and layout move the final number, and in a release of only 55 residences the spread inside a type matters as much as the headline price.

Why Me
Why Buy Solaya Through Tohid Fetrat
With entry prices in the tens of millions and handover estimated for Q2 2029, the residence is only half the decision. The other half is who checks the details, follows the build against the official record, and stays accountable to you from reservation to the day you collect the keys.
Direct developer access to Meraas inventory and releases
One dedicated advisor from first enquiry to handover
Specialist in remote purchases for international and non-resident buyers
Independent monthly construction tracking against RERA inspection data
Personal replies on WhatsApp, never a call center or sales team
My advisory service costs you nothing. The commission is paid by the developer, and you pay the same official price as buying directly, with independent guidance included.

Solaya by Meraas makes most sense when you see the layers around it: the Port De La Mer shoreline in Jumeirah 1, the full Solaya collection set around its central Beach Park, and the wider Meraas portfolio across Dubai. The three guides below give you that context before you compare units.

Map
Explore Solaya Location on Dubai Map
Solaya by Meraas sits on the beach at Port De La Mer in Jumeirah 1, on the Jumeirah coastline a short drive from Downtown Dubai. Through Tohid Fetrat's Dubai Investment Map, you can see exactly where it sits and compare it with other beachfront and ultra luxury developments across the city.
On the map, the nearest reference point is J1 Beach next door. Meraas also places Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah, Bvlgari Resort Dubai and Four Seasons Resort Dubai among the key locations nearby, with City Walk, The Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and DIFC completing the picture inland.
Location
Solaya by Meraas Location Within Port De La Mer
On the Meraas masterplan, Solaya 5 and Solaya 7 stand on the western arm of the collection, in the row that faces straight onto the sheltered crescent beach, with Solaya 5 beside a beach pool where the central Beach Park begins. For residents, that puts the sand and the park a few steps from the lobby rather than across a road. For investors, it is the frontage position inside the scheme, and in my experience frontage is where long term demand in a beachfront collection concentrates. The neighbourhood beyond the gates is covered in my Port De La Mer community guide.
Port De La Mer, DubaiConnectivity
Connectivity from Solaya
Solaya is a beachfront address first, and the drive times keep the city close: Meraas puts Downtown Dubai about 15 minutes away by car and Dubai International Airport about 20 minutes. Day to day, residents are more likely to walk than drive, with J1 Beach and its restaurants and beach clubs next door and the Beach Park inside the collection, while City Walk and DIFC remain the obvious inland destinations for work and weekends.

Interiors
Interior Design at Solaya by Meraas
1508 London keeps the palette deliberately quiet, with stone flooring, marble details, timber joinery and large windows that make the sea the focal point of each living room. The practical details are what separate the layouts: from three bedrooms upwards every residence has both a show kitchen and a prep kitchen, the five-bedroom layouts on the penultimate floor are triple-aspect, and the penthouses, one level per building, add a 4 metre floor-to-floor height, a private pool deck, gym, spa, private cinema and staff accommodation.
