The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront by Emaar Properties

The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront is an off-plan tower by Emaar in the Emaar Beachfront community of Dubai. It contains 227 branded apartments and penthouses carrying the name of The Bristol Luxury Hotels & Resorts, with a hotel occupying the lower floors of the same building. Unit types run from 1 bedroom apartments to 5 bedroom penthouses, and handover is expected in Q3 2029.

The tower stands on the waterfront edge of Emaar Beachfront, the Dubai Harbour community between Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. According to the developer's brochure, Dubai Marina and Sheikh Zayed Road are about 5 minutes away by car, Downtown Dubai about 15 minutes and Dubai International Airport about 25 minutes.

Prices start from AED 3.66M ≈ USD 997K for a 1 bedroom apartment. Starting prices by type are AED 6.36M ≈ USD 1.73M for 2 bedroom apartments, AED 10.38M ≈ USD 2.83M for 3 bedroom apartments, AED 14.45M ≈ USD 3.93M for 4 bedroom apartments and AED 34.00M ≈ USD 9.26M for the 5 bedroom penthouses, depending on unit type, size and availability.

There are five unit types: 1 bedroom apartments of 825-835 sq ft (77-78 sq m), 2 bedroom apartments of 1,459-1,546 sq ft (136-144 sq m), 3 bedroom apartments of 1,912-2,074 sq ft (178-193 sq m), 4 bedroom apartments of 2,501-2,617 sq ft (232-243 sq m) and 5 bedroom penthouses of 5,828-6,063 sq ft (541-563 sq m). The penthouses occupy the top two levels of the tower and are more than twice the size of the largest 4 bedroom layout.

The developer lists an infinity pool and kids' pools, a kids' play area, a fully equipped gym, a spa and wellness facility and a signature F&B offering, together with a pool deck and a quiet zen garden. The 1.5 km beach, the marina and the yacht club belong to the wider Emaar Beachfront community rather than to the building itself.

Handover is expected in Q3 2029. The project is at an early stage: the June 2026 RERA inspection recorded early works, including excavation and piling, as progressing. Each inspection is tracked in my The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront construction updates.

The developer's plan is 10/70/20: 10% on booking, 70% during construction and 20% upon handover in Q3 2029, so 80% of the price is paid before handover. The number, dates and triggers of the construction instalments are set out in each buyer's sales and purchase agreement (SPA).

The key cost on top of the price is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid to the Dubai Land Department at booking alongside the 10% first instalment. Buying through me adds no advisory fee, because my commission is paid by the developer. Any further administrative charges are listed in the reservation and SPA documents before you commit.

Yes. The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront is a freehold property, open to buyers of all nationalities, whether or not they live in the UAE.

At current prices, all five unit types start above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property investment threshold for the 10 year UAE Golden Visa, with the lowest, the 1 bedroom apartment, at AED 3.66M ≈ USD 997K. Eligibility is assessed on the property value recorded at application and the UAE authorities decide each case, so approval is never guaranteed. My The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront Golden Visa guide covers the steps in detail.

Off-plan instalments are paid into the project's DLD-registered escrow account with Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank and released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. My The Bristol at Emaar Beachfront escrow account guide explains how the account works and how to check it.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and DLD registration can all be handled remotely, and I manage the process end to end with Emaar on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.
