OMNIYAT presents Dubai waterfront developments at 35th Monaco Yacht Show

OMNIYAT returns to Port Hercule for the third consecutive year as the 35th Monaco Yacht Show brings together over 120 superyachts and 560 exhibitors from September 23-26. The Dubai-based ultra-luxury developer, serving as Official Sponsor of the Monaco Yacht Show VIP Experience, will present its portfolio of waterfront residences to an international yachting community already familiar with life on the water.

Established in 2005, OMNIYAT has built its reputation through landmark projects including The Opus by Zaha Hadid and One at Palm Jumeirah, which set records for sales value upon its launch. The developer now brings this experience to a new generation of waterfront destinations designed to appeal to global buyers seeking a seamless connection between home and sea.

Marasi Bay redefines waterfront living in Burj Khalifa District

At the center of OMNIYAT's presentation stands Marasi Bay, a waterfront destination in Dubai's Burj Khalifa District conceived as an integrated ecosystem for life beside and on the water. The development combines private residences with hospitality, wellness, dining and leisure facilities, all connected by direct water access. A waterfront padel court, running track, art trail and resident-only wellness spaces create an active outdoor dimension to daily life by the bay.

The Lana Hotel and Residences, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, which opened in Q1 2024 as Dorchester Collection's first hotel in the Middle East, anchors the destination. Designed by Foster + Partners, the property features the region's first Dior Spa and comprises only 39 residences across 29 floors, with interiors by Gilles & Boissier. In June 2025, OMNIYAT acquired Marasi Bay Island, introducing the Burj Khalifa District's first beach club as part of its vision to establish Marasi Bay as Dubai's premier ultra-luxury waterfront destination.

VELA and VELA Viento, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, form a pair of sister waterfront residences overlooking Marasi Bay. VELA Viento rises 180 metres above the bay and features 95 residences designed by Foster + Partners, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing views of the Burj Khalifa, Downtown Dubai, and the waterfront below. Together, the developments contribute to a residential experience shaped by the bay itself.

Marasi Bay Marina, operated by OMNIYAT, offers berths for superyachts, an exclusive Yacht Club, tender boat service and jetty lounges for boat owners and hotel guests. The destination enjoys strategic connectivity to Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, DIFC, D3 Design District, and Dubai International Airport.

Palm Jumeirah portfolio approaches delivery milestone

On Palm Jumeirah, The Alba, Dorchester Collection, Dubai offers a contrasting expression of waterfront living centered on sanctuary. The development brings Dorchester Collection hospitality into a private beachfront setting, shaped around a resort experience where the rhythm of the sea becomes part of daily life. A 2,700-square-metre Wellness Centre integrates advanced longevity, movement and hydrotherapy amenities, while a 250-metre private beach reinforces the sense of retreat.

OMNIYAT's Palm Jumeirah portfolio is nearing an important delivery milestone, with handovers at AVA at Palm Jumeirah and ORLA, Dorchester Collection, Dubai, due soon. Designed by Foster + Partners with 360-degree sea views, ORLA adds another distinctive expression to the developer's waterfront collection.

Dubai waterfront market demonstrates strong fundamentals

Dubai waterfront properties commanded a 128% price premium over inland properties in Q1 2026, with waterfront homes outperforming the wider market by more than 140% over five years. Dubai's real estate market recorded AED 528 billion in transactions in 2024, a historic high, with coastal properties commanding a 25-40% rental premium over comparable inland equivalents.

The developer's presence at Monaco reflects its role in shaping waterfront destinations for an international audience accustomed to the highest standards of premium living. Through carefully curated residential ecosystems, OMNIYAT creates experiences that extend beyond individual homes to speak directly to the expectations of global buyers drawn to Dubai's evolving waterfront landscape.
