Marasi Bay Island is a district of Dubai, 2.1 km from Burj Khalifa / Dubai Mall Metro Station.
Marasi Bay Island is a reclaimed private island in Dubai’s Business Bay. Intended as a concentrated waterfront precinct within Marasi Bay, it is described as a resort-style extension to the southern edge of the bay, combining marine facilities, public promenades and private resident amenities.
Marasi Bay Island has been acquired by developer Omniyat as part of a plan to create a high-end waterfront ecosystem in Business Bay. The island is positioned along the south side of Marasi Bay and is planned to integrate marina berths, a yacht club, leisure facilities and a mix of over-water structures intended for retail and events. The layout centres on a southern waterfront promenade that links directly to a purpose-built floating park named Sunset Park.
Marasi Bay Island is located within Business Bay, with road connections to central Dubai and key destinations by car. Published driving times indicate approximately 10 minutes to Dubai Mall, 21 minutes to Burj Al Arab, 22 minutes to Palm Jumeirah, and 27 minutes to The Walk, JBR. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is cited at roughly a 15-minute drive; Al Maktoum International Airport is cited at roughly a 43-minute drive. These figures are indicative of typical road journeys from the development area.
Public transit access includes the Dubai Metro Red Line; the nearest station referenced is on the Red Line (code R25), located about 2,100 metres from the island, which is not considered walkable from the site. Road access and marine connections are the primary means to reach the island.
The island is presented as a reclaimed landform with a collection of marine and land-based amenities. Key elements described in the planning concepts include:
Sunset Park is described as a central green space with picnic lawns, private dining areas equipped with a chef’s kitchen and BBQ facilities, indoor rooms intended for work or events, and specialised outdoor zones: sensory and meditation gardens, a yoga terrace, a dog park, viewing platforms and event lawns. The park is planned with a private jetty drop-off for residents.
Developers have provided initial concept images and layouts showing these elements. Projects of this nature commonly undergo design evolution as they progress; the published visual concepts are supplied to illustrate early intentions for the island’s architecture, landscaping and amenity distribution.
The overall concept positions Marasi Bay Island as a high-specification waterfront extension to Business Bay with a marine focus. The combination of superyacht berths, a dedicated yacht club and over-water retail and event spaces suggests a lifestyle anchored on boating and curated outdoor leisure. The inclusion of a private floating park and resident-only facilities indicates a separation between public promenade amenities and exclusive, gated offerings for neighbouring Omniyat developments.
Based on the described features, the island is aimed at buyers and residents seeking a waterfront lifestyle with easy boat access and a range of on-site leisure options. The mix of private resident facilities, marina berths and over-water event spaces will appeal to owner-occupiers and residents with an interest in marine recreation, private entertaining and landscaped outdoors living. Its proximity to Business Bay places it near central Dubai business districts while offering a distinct waterfront character.
Marasi Bay Island sits within the Business Bay area and is connected by the surrounding road network to Dubai’s central attractions. Educational facilities are available within a short distance: Hartland International School is listed at about 2.2 km away and North London Collegiate School Dubai at about 2.4 km. The island’s promenade is intended to link to adjacent waterfront routes and green spaces in Marasi Bay.
The developer has also described partnerships and local lifestyle services in the wider vicinity; curated leisure offerings such as local ladies nights and brunch options are noted as being tracked by regional lifestyle platforms.
