Solaya reimagines contemporary living on Dubai’s shoreline

Jumeirah 1's new address for beachfront living is shaped by the rhythm of the sea

Scattered on the sands of Jumeirah 1, Solaya is a new coastal address built on Dubai’s enduring connection with the sea. More than just a place to call home, it's a neighbourhood shaped by sunrise horizon views, and starry evening skies reflected in the Arabian Gulf.

Created in partnership with Dubai Holding Investments, Brookfield Properties and Meraas, Solaya brings together three developers known for design-led destinations and a shared ambition to create a contemporary waterfront community that feels at once connected to the city and immersed in nature.

Foster + Partners' architectural lines mirror the ebb and flow of the coastline. Layers of glass and stone open onto shaded terraces and gardens while curves echo the movement of the water beyond. Inside, London design studio 1508 London, known for its refined, modern approach in projects such as London's No.1 Grosvenor Square and Jumeirah Carlton Tower London hotel, has crafted interiors that balance openness with intimacy. Natural materials, soft tones and precise detailing give each space a sense of calm that complements its setting.

Comprising 234 residences, Solaya includes a collection of penthouses, signature garden houses and duplexes designed to make the most of the exceptional coastal location. The 18 garden houses come with private infinity pools and secluded courtyards, while duplexes feature generous terraces that invite residents to enjoy life outdoors. Each penthouse offers complete privacy, with dedicated elevators and sweeping terraces that overlook the Arabian Gulf.

Life at Solaya extends beyond the residences. Landscaped pools, a wellness centre and stylish spaces for dining and gathering create a setting where residents can unwind, connect and enjoy the calm rhythm of seaside life. Every element has been designed to blend with the landscape, offering a sense of ease and balance throughout. The result is a destination that captures both the serenity of the shoreline and the sophistication of modern Dubai living.

As one of Dubai’s most established coastal neighbourhoods, Jumeirah provides a fitting backdrop. Just minutes from the city’s cultural landmarks and culinary favourites, it retains a quiet, residential atmosphere that feels worlds away from the pace of Downtown Dubai. Here, Solaya stands as a new chapter in the story of the city’s coastline and a place where architecture, design and nature come together in harmony.

From the sculpted gardens to the horizon-facing pools, every detail at Solaya reflects a commitment to thoughtful design and enduring quality. It is a destination that invites residents to live by the water and experience Dubai from an entirely new perspective.
