Yachtside Marina Residences

Three low rise buildings facing the Siniya Island yacht club, handover set for June 2029

None of the three Yachtside Marina Residences towers exceeds nine habitable floors. Sobha Realty opted for a low rise footprint on this Siniya Island scheme in Umm Al Quwain, with a ground floor plus seven to nine residential levels per building. Handover is scheduled for 30 June 2029, three months ahead of Bayfront Marina Residences, another project in the same marina district. The name is not just marketing: the project sits on the side of the private yacht club and the retail promenade that anchor the island's waterfront. Units are sold freehold, in line with all residential plots on Siniya Island.

Three towers on a shared podium

The three buildings sit on a single shared podium that houses the communal amenities and parking. This layout groups pools, gym and lounge areas on one level, reachable from each tower. Glazed facades reflect the Arabian Gulf and the lines stay plain, with no ornamentation. At seven to nine storeys, the whole development stays in scale with the surrounding mangroves and beaches. For a buyer, this also means fewer units per elevator core than a Dubai tower, and a homeowners association that is easier to follow.

One to three bedrooms, balconies included

The scheme offers one, two and three bedroom apartments. Sobha highlights deep balconies and high end finishes, largely produced by its own workshops. Layouts are designed to orient living spaces toward the water, marina or open sea depending on the unit's position. The absence of studios and penthouses points to a clear target buyer: couples and families, whether full time residents or second home owners. Unit sizes by layout are still to be confirmed on final floor plans.

Yacht club, mall and hotel along the promenade

The brochure describes a waterfront promenade lined with a private yacht club, the Marina Residences Mall, a high end hotel, cafes and restaurants. A motorised seawater channel runs through the community and connects to the sea, letting boats dock near the buildings. The island will also have a heliport. For Yachtside residents, the practical upside is proximity: shops and dining are within walking distance, no need to cross the bridge. On an island that is still sparsely built, this matters for everyday life.

18 hole golf, kayaking and open air cinema

The 18 hole golf course, with sea views, remains the single biggest amenity on Siniya Island. At the foot of the towers, the list runs long: infinity pool, lagoon style pool, beach club with private beach access, open air cinema and a sports field. Water activities are built into the program, from kayaking to snorkelling in shallow waters. Families will find a playground, shared lawns and walking trails. Security relies on access control and CCTV covering the common areas.

Ten minutes from Al Marjan, fifty from Dubai

A 1.7 km bridge links the island to the mainland. Al Marjan Island, in Ras Al Khaimah, is ten minutes away by car, Sharjah thirty minutes, and Dubai fifty. The proximity to Al Marjan matters, since the Wynn resort there is drawing significant hospitality investment and lifting values along the northern coast. Umm Al Quwain still sits on the sidelines of that momentum, with lower entry prices. Yachtside therefore targets a buyer willing to accept the drive to Dubai in exchange for a less crowded setting.

Sobha extends its integrated model north

Sobha Realty stands by its vertically integrated model: design, joinery, glazing and construction are all handled in house. The developer applied it in Dubai at Sobha Hartland and Sobha One before bringing it to Siniya Island. Yachtside is part of a series of marina residences launched in parallel on the island, alongside Pearlside, Canalside and Bayfront. This wave of projects is speeding up the island's development but also creating direct resale competition among similar, neighbouring products. The June 2029 handover puts Yachtside among the first completions on this stretch of marina.
