La Mer and Jumeirah 1 beachfront homes for sale
Last updated
La Mer is the beachfront community on the Jumeirah shore, with villas and low-rise residences behind a public beach and a retail strip. It is a different market from the older beach houses on Jumeirah 1.
The Private Office covers the villas and the larger residences. A standard apartment above the shops is not a super-prime instruction.
Private Office homes in La Mer
The homes below are the instructions we can show on 14 November 2026. Others are offered only after a conversation.
None of these homes are on the public list at the moment. Ask the Private Office what is being held back.
La Mer villas
The villas are the super-prime part of La Mer: beach-close houses with a finished community around them. Compare them with Palm frond villas and with Marsa Al Arab, not with a marina apartment.
Jumeirah 1 beachfront
Jumeirah 1 is the older beach road, a short distance from La Mer. Some of those houses are freehold and some are not. We check the title before anyone spends time on a viewing. Do not assume a Jumeirah 1 villa can be owned on the same terms as a La Mer villa.
Buying at La Mer from overseas
La Mer is a freehold part of Dubai, so a buyer of any nationality can own the home outright. A purchase of AED 2 million or more can support an application for a ten-year UAE Golden Visa. There is no annual property tax. Buyers pay the Dubai Land Department transfer fee of 4% of the price, plus registration and agency fees. Where a family office or a company is the buyer, we work with your lawyers from the first call.
Selling a La Mer or Jumeirah beach house
If you are thinking of selling in La Mer, we can show the home privately to buyers we already know before it goes anywhere public. That conversation starts with a confidential valuation, not a listing form.
Questions
- Can foreigners buy property in La Mer?
- Yes. La Mer is a freehold area, so buyers of any nationality can own a home outright, with title registered at the Dubai Land Department.
- Can foreigners buy a villa on Jumeirah 1?
- Sometimes. La Mer is freehold. Older beach villas on Jumeirah 1 depend on the plot and the title. We check that before a viewing, rather than assuming the house can be owned outright.
- How do I sell a luxury villa in Dubai discreetly?
- Ask the Private Office for a confidential valuation. We can present your home to qualified buyers before, or instead of, listing it publicly, so the price and address are not published.
