Port de La Mer is a district of Dubai, 3.7 km from World Trade Centre Metro Station.
Port de La Mer is a compact, private residential enclave built as an extension of the La Mer development on the Jumeirah coastline. The quarter is organised around a rectangular marina and promenade, with low-rise apartment buildings facing the water and outlooks towards Pearl Jumeirah. Public-facing promenades, piazzas and pedestrian bridges form the main spatial structure and provide continuous links between open spaces and waterfront amenities.
Port de La Mer sits within La Mer in Jumeirah 1, on a north-facing peninsula of the La Mer masterplan. The community combines low-rise housing and a marina element. The residential offer is concentrated in a complex known as La Cote: five low-rise buildings that together contain 408 apartments ranging from one- to four-bedroom layouts, with penthouse units on each building. The built landscape around the marina includes promenades with space allocated for boutiques, cafés and restaurants, and a marina and yacht club with capacity for 190 yachts. A central podium and a network of piazzas and bridges are used to connect different parts of the community and to link public open spaces around the water.
Port de La Mer is primarily accessed by road but can also be reached by sea. The nearest Dubai Metro reference is on the Red Line (station code R22) at an approximate distance of 3,682 metres; this distance is not classified as walkable for routine trips. Drive times quoted in local sources indicate quick access to many central destinations by car.
Local driving estimates reported by area guides put Port de La Mer at roughly 18 minutes from The Dubai Mall, 29 minutes from Palm Jumeirah and about 33 minutes to The Walk JBR, depending on traffic. Road access and proximity to central Dubai are among the defining practical attributes of the location.
Port de La Mer was implemented as a low-rise marina neighbourhood with a clear focus on public realm and landscaping. The soft landscaping programme included extensive planting (more than a thousand trees and over forty thousand shrubs) arranged to form green belts along roadsides. Street and public-area lighting was also upgraded with the installation of numerous lighting strips and cabling to improve safety and evening ambience around the promenade and public spaces.
The marina and yacht club are integral to the character of Port de La Mer and are designed to accommodate 190 berths. Retail and F&B uses are intended to activate the promenade edges; piazzas and a raised central podium give residents direct pedestrian access across the development.

Sub-areas that form part of Port de La Mer and the immediate La Mer group are listed below:
Port de La Mer is aimed at residents who prioritise a waterfront setting within a compact, low-rise environment while remaining close to central Dubai. The mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments and penthouses makes it suitable for single professionals, couples and families looking for apartment living with direct access to a promenade and marina. The presence of a yacht club and marina berths also makes the location relevant to boat owners and users of private watercraft. Proximity to central business districts and major city destinations makes the location convenient for those working in areas such as Business Bay, Downtown and DIFC.
Local services and schooling options are available in the wider Jumeirah area. Public records and area summaries cite nearby institutions such as Jumeira Baccalaureate School (approximately 2.0 km) and the Dubai Autism Center (approximately 2.3 km), both of which lie within short driving distance of Port de La Mer.
