About La Mer

La Mer is Meraas's beachfront district on Jumeirah 1's coastline — a low-rise, open-air neighbourhood where the Arabian Gulf is genuinely walkable from your front door. It draws a specific kind of buyer: someone who wants beach access without the density of JBR, and a residential feel without the isolation of Palm Jumeirah. Our honest take? La Mer is one of the most underrated waterfront addresses in Dubai. It's not the cheapest, but the combination of a real sandy beach, curated retail, and a relatively contained master-plan makes it a compelling long-term hold.

Frequently asked questions about La Mer

Is La Mer a freehold community?
La Mer is part of Dubai's freehold framework — international buyers can take 100% ownership with full title registered at the Dubai Land Department. Purchases above AED 2 million qualify for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa. Properties below AED 750,000 may also qualify the buyer for a 2-year residence visa.
Can foreigners buy property in La Mer?
Yes. La Mer sits within Dubai's freehold zones, where international buyers take perpetual 100% ownership with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency is required to buy, though purchases above AED 750,000 (2-year visa) or AED 2 million (10-year Golden Visa) entitle owners to apply for residence.
What payment plans are available in La Mer?
Most off-plan projects in La Mer offer staged payment plans tied to construction milestones — typically a 10–20% deposit at booking, instalments through the build, and a balance on handover (commonly 60/40 or 70/30 splits). Some developers also offer post-handover payment plans of 1–3 years. Each project page above lists its specific plan.
What fees should I expect when buying in La Mer?
Standard one-time costs for any Dubai property purchase: 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee, AED 4,000 DLD admin fee, 2% real estate agent commission, AED 4,000 trustee/registration fee, and a mortgage registration fee of 0.25% of the loan amount if you're financing. Budget an additional 6–8% of the purchase price for fees in total.
