Esme Beach Residences is Elysian Developments’ flagship on Dubai Islands, a low-density beachfront collection of just 109 homes set directly on the sand of Island A. The name comes from a word meaning to esteem, to love, and the building is designed around exactly that idea: a place to be enjoyed slowly, with family and friends, where well-being is built into the fabric of everyday living rather than added as an amenity list.
The location is the project’s first and best argument. Island A is the most advanced of the Dubai Islands, with the beach, the promenade, the marina and the emerging retail and dining spine all within walking distance, while Downtown Dubai and DIFC remain a straightforward drive across the Infinity Bridge. Dubai International Airport is roughly twenty minutes away. This is genuine beachfront in a city where genuine beachfront is finite, on a masterplan by Nakheel that is still years from full build-out, which is precisely why early buyers into the island have seen the strongest capital appreciation.
Architecturally, Esme is quiet. Horizontal terraces step and recess to break up the mass, deep overhangs shade the glazing, and the palette of warm stone, off-white plaster and timber soffits is chosen to sit comfortably against sand and sea rather than compete with it. Every residence is oriented to the water. Living spaces open through full-height sliding glass onto generous private terraces, and the deeper terraces on the upper levels are sized for outdoor dining and lounging rather than the token balconies common at this price point. Select two and three bedroom homes carry a private pool on the terrace, a rare specification in this segment and the units that consistently sell first.
Interiors are delivered fully finished to a considered, restrained standard: full-height joinery, integrated European appliances, stone-topped kitchens, book-matched bathroom slabs, and a neutral base palette designed to accept a buyer’s own furniture rather than dictate it. Master bedrooms are planned with walk-in wardrobes and en suites as standard across the two and three bedroom layouts.
The amenity programme follows the multidimensional well-being brief. Residents have direct private beach access with serviced sun loungers, an infinity pool oriented to the sunset, a separate children’s pool and play area, a fully equipped gymnasium, a dedicated yoga and movement studio, spa and sauna facilities, landscaped gardens and shaded outdoor lounge terraces, plus a social lounge and co-working space for residents who work from home. Concierge, valet and 24-hour security complete the offer.
The unit mix runs from one bedroom apartments through two bedroom homes, two bedroom residences with a private terrace pool, and three bedroom residences with pool. Pricing opens at AED 1,950,000 for a one bedroom, AED 2,700,000 for a two bedroom, AED 3,880,000 for a two bedroom with pool and AED 7,500,000 for a three bedroom with pool. The payment plan is a straightforward 20 percent on booking, 40 percent across construction milestones and 40 percent on handover, which is scheduled for Q2 2027. Foreign buyers acquire on full freehold title, and the price point sits within the threshold relevant to the ten-year Golden Visa.
