Furnished Holiday Homes in Port de La Mer

About Port de La Mer

Port de La Mer is a waterfront residential community in Jumeirah 1, on the extension of La Mer at the top of the northern peninsula, developed by Meraas. Its buildings overlook Pearl Jumeirah. The masterplan is organised around a rectangular marina with berths and a yacht club, and is divided into seven sub-communities: La Cote, La Rive, La Sirene, La Voile, La Ciel, Le Pont and Sur La Mer. Homes range from apartments and duplexes to penthouses and townhouses, from one to five bedrooms, and residents get dedicated parking.

For the beach, a property portal describes J1 Beach, a revamped version of La Mer Beach, as a few minutes' walk away, with retail, food and watersports planned or under way. Check what is open at the time of your stay. A Geant Express shop is inside the community. Drive times are about 6 minutes to a Spinneys, 11 to Mercato Mall and 12 to City Walk, and Dubai International Airport is about 20 minutes away by car.

The trade-off is public transport. The portal states that public transport within the community is limited, with the nearest bus stops about 5 minutes away by car and the World Trade Centre Metro Station about 15 minutes away by car. Vehicle access to the development is controlled. The community connects to the mainland by bridges and roads, so most trips for groceries or the airport will be by car or taxi. It suits guests who want a marina and beach setting and who do not mind relying on road transport.
