Location and connectivity of Siniya Island

Siniya Island sits off the coast of Umm Al Quwain, with direct road access to Dubai, Sharjah, and Ras Al Khaimah.

The island is also positioned close to Al Marjan Island and Ras Al Khaimah, where significant tourism and hospitality investment is underway, including the Wynn integrated resort and casino, set to open in 2027. A planned boat service will connect Siniya Island to Al Marjan Island in approximately 8-10 minutes.

 

More reasons to buy in Siniya Island

Resort-style amenities and lifestyle

Siniya Island offers the level of amenities typically found in established Dubai developments, set within a quieter, private island environment. These features support both second-home use and long-term ownership, without the scale or density of high-rise coastal developments.

Amenities include:

  • 18-hole golf course
  • Marina and yacht club
  • Retail and dining boulevard
  • Resident-only beach access
  • Fitness and wellness facilities

For many buyers, this provides access to the lifestyle associated with Dubai - dining, leisure, and services - while enjoying greater privacy and a more relaxed setting.

Perfectly positioned for connectivity

Siniya Island is located in Umm Al Quwain, approximately 50 minutes from Dubai and 30 minutes from Sharjah, with direct road access to both. The island sits between Dubai and the northern emirates, providing flexibility for work, travel, and leisure.

In addition to road links, a planned boat service will connect Siniya Island to Al Marjan Island in around 8-10 minutes, placing residents within close reach of Ras Al Khaimah’s growing hospitality and tourism zone.

Travel times from Siniya Island:

Destination Typical Travel Time
Dubai 50 mins
Sharjah 30 mins
Al Marjan Island 30 mins
Dubai International Airport (DXB) 50 mins
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) 35 mins
Business Bay, Dubai 60 mins
Sheikh Zayed Road (north end) 60 mins

Natural setting and long-term scarcity

With 46% of Siniya Island preserved as green space, development density is intentionally limited. Protected mangroves, coastal habitats, and open landscape form a central part of the masterplan.

The island sits alongside the Khor Al Beidah wetlands, an ecologically important area that supports birdlife and marine species. For residents, this creates a setting that is noticeably quieter and less built-up than many other waterfront locations.

Highlights:

  • Pristine white sand beaches stretching along the waterfront
  • Home to gazelles, Arabian oryx, flamingos and rare turtles
  • Protected mangroves and diverse coastal habitats
  • One of the largest areas of undisturbed coastal environment in the UAE

From a longer-term perspective, natural island beachfront is finite. Planning restrictions and preserved land help maintain scarcity over time.

Premium build quality and specifications

Homes across Siniya Island are delivered to consistent construction and finish standards, in line with Sobha Realty’s wider residential portfolio. Specifications are designed for long-term use rather than short-term rental fit-outs.

Highlights:

  • Premium European kitchen appliances and porcelain worktops
  • Luxurious bathrooms with high-end fixtures and finishes
  • Climate control systems throughout all residences
  • Private outdoor spaces with beach, garden, or terrace access
  • Smart home integration and security systems
  • Covered parking for all units

Layouts vary by unit type, but the focus is on usable internal space, natural light, and practical living.

Is buying off-plan at Siniya Island a good long-term investment?

Is buying off-plan at Siniya Island a good long-term investment?

Siniya Island is an off-plan beachfront development located between Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah, an area seeing increasing capital and tourism investment. Buying at this stage allows entry at earlier pricing, with time for values to develop as the island and surrounding infrastructure are delivered.

The long-term case is driven by:

  • Strategic location: Positioned to benefit from growth across the northern emirates, including the Wynn resort and casino in Ras Al Khaimah, opening in 2027

  • Relative value: Beachfront pricing below comparable locations in Dubai and other established coastal markets

  • Time in the market: Phased delivery provides a longer runway for capital appreciation during construction

  • Finite supply: Natural island setting limits future beachfront availability

  • Developer quality: Delivered by Sobha Realty, a tier-one developer known for build quality and timely delivery

Purchases are made within the UAE’s regulated off-plan framework, including escrow accounts and milestone-based payment schedules.

Buying at Siniya Island starts with a small reservation fee and convenient staged payments

How to Buy

20% deposit - Due at booking to secure your property

40% during construction - 10% paid in 4 instalments over the course of the build

40% on completion - Final payment due upon handover, at which point buyers can look to secure finance

The rich history of Siniya Island

Siniya Island has a long history of settlement, with archaeological evidence of pearl fishing communities and coastal trade dating back more than 1,400 years. Spanning almost 30 acres, the island sits alongside protected wetlands and historically important sites, which have shaped planning restrictions and preservation efforts today.

For buyers, this history is less about heritage and more about context: a natural island with limits on overdevelopment and long-term protection of its coastline.
