A marina quarter, delivered
Port de La Mer is the Mediterranean-styled community Meraas built at the north end of the La Mer peninsula in Jumeirah 1. It is finished and lived in: the developer no longer carries an availability badge on the community page, and each residential phase inside it is separately marked sold out. That matters more than any brochure line, because it settles what a buyer is actually doing here. Nothing is bought from Meraas at a launch price at Port de La Mer. Purchases are resales negotiated with existing owners, and Wincasa Properties works those listings for buyers. The developer publishes no starting price for the community, so price on request is the only accurate answer to give.
The layout is what people come for and it is unusual for Dubai. Meraas built low: short blocks of apartments in pale render, whitewashed stone and terracotta roof tiles, arranged around a marina and yacht club the developer sizes at more than 190 berths. Boardwalks, small piazzas and walking bridges connect the blocks, and residents have raised private plazas where the pools look out to sea. The developer's key-facts bar for the community reads 1 BR to 5 BR, the description refers to low-rise apartments of one to four bedrooms, and the published plans cover the one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts. There are no towers, so the water stays visible from far more of the buildings than a high-rise scheme would allow.
Meraas built the community in named phases, and understanding them is the practical key to buying here. The developer lists La Voile, Le Soleil, La Rive, Le Pont, La Sirene and La Cote, each with its own page, its own key facts and its own position on the peninsula. In market terms, though, they trade as one place: the spread between a cheap and an expensive apartment follows floor, orientation, outlook and distance from the water far more closely than it follows which phase name is on the building. A buyer who fixes on one phase before comparing the others usually pays for the name rather than for the view.
For shared facilities the developer lists beach access and private landscaped terraces, swimming pools and an outdoor park with children's play areas, promenades running along both the seafront and the marina, boutiques and restaurants, and 5-star hospitality experiences, all in addition to the yacht club and its 190-plus berths. Meraas counts 55 dining venues across the waterfront and the streets behind it. The community page carries no drive-time table, though the individual phase pages do publish the developer's figures — so any journey time you are quoted for Port de La Mer as a whole should be traced back to a specific phase page rather than accepted as a community-wide claim.
