Sur La Mer is a district of Dubai, 3.2 km from Emirates Towers Metro Station.
Sur La Mer is a planned low‑rise beachfront residential enclave located within Port De La Mer, itself part of the La Mer / Jumeirah 1 urban strip. Conceived as the first freehold townhouse community in Jumeirah 1, the scheme positions a limited collection of attached homes directly on the sea‑facing edge of the development, combining Mediterranean architectural references with linear landscaped spaces and marina frontage.
Sur La Mer is a planned development by Meraas within Port De La Mer. The master concept sets out 147 luxury townhouses arranged to maximise sea and Dubai skyline views. Homes are described as three‑, four‑ and five‑bedroom layouts finished in a classic Italian idiom and placed among open, planted areas shaded by olive and lemon trees. The community occupies a coastal parcel at the La Mer complex in Jumeirah 1 and includes direct relationships with a marina and a private beach as part of the overall Port De La Mer offering.
The neighbourhood sits on Dubai’s Jumeirah coastline. The nearest Dubai Metro station on the Red Line is identified as code R23 and is approximately 3.2 kilometres away; this distance places the station beyond easy walking range for most residents, so most local trips are made by car, taxi or short rideshare journeys.
Reported approximate road travel times from the development are:
Key straight‑line distances recorded from the location (approximate):
The scheme is composed of townhouses rather than high‑rise towers. The published concept calls for 147 townhouses in a mix of three‑, four‑ and five‑bedroom types, each designed to leverage coastal aspects and skyline vistas. Buildings and streetscapes are set among planted open spaces described as shaded by olive and lemon trees, creating a Mediterranean character for the immediate neighbourhood.
Community and waterfront amenities envisaged in the original master materials include:
Residents would therefore have direct pedestrian links along the promenade and marina, immediate beach frontage within the Port De La Mer precinct, and access to waterfront leisure facilities and commercial outlets as part of the wider La Mer experience. The master materials also referred to two resort components within the overall Port De La Mer scheme.
The project was promoted as the first freehold townhouse community in Jumeirah 1. Transaction records referenced in the project profile indicate there are 50 sale transaction records available for Sur La Mer as recorded by the Dubai Land Department and published under government open data. The development sits within the Port De La Mer area, which forms part of the La Mer coastal corridor and the wider Jumeirah 1 neighbourhood.
Sur La Mer is tailored to buyers seeking low‑rise, townhouse living on Dubai’s central coastline with immediate access to marina and beach amenities. The mix of three‑ to five‑bedroom homes and on‑site family facilities such as children’s pools and play areas suggest a design leaning towards households and families who value private outdoor space paired with waterfront leisure. The combination of marina access and seaside promenades will also appeal to purchasers prioritising a coastal lifestyle close to central Dubai.
Within short distances of the development are established educational and specialist institutions mentioned in the project profile. The Jumeira Baccalaureate School is reported at approximately 1.8 km away and the Dubai Autism Center at about 2.2 km. Beyond these, the La Mer beachfront and adjacent City Walk, Business Bay and Downtown offer broader retail, dining and service options within a short drive.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +35% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +24% on the price per square metre across 1 buildings that traded in both years.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 7 years, from 2019.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
