The Residences at Sheraton
Al Marjan Island Resort
GCC's First Sheraton Branded Residences
In 2023, Atara Development signed a partnership with Marriott International. 171 off-plan apartments from AED 2M, private beach access, and full Marriott Bonvoy privileges from the day of purchase.
Private Island Villas
on Pearl Jumeirah
Haia · Kaia · Isola · Opal — Each One Different
Four luxury villas on Dubai's most exclusive freehold island. 5 and 6 bedrooms, 12,609 to 15,154 sq. ft. each. No two share a floor plan, a material palette, or a design brief.
Beachfront Living
on Sereia Villa
Direct Beach Access. No Barriers.
Sereia Villa is Atara's interpretation of coastal architecture built for buyers who want luxury real estate in Dubai without a barrier between the villa and the sea. Six bedrooms, 9,684 sq. ft. plot.
Velora Residence
on Dubai Islands
58 Fully Furnished Residences. G+8.
The newest address in the collection: a G+8 building on Dubai Islands with 58 fully furnished one and two-bedroom residences of 857 to 1,860 square feet. Freehold, with floor plans, pricing and availability released to the register first.
Luxury Villas Dubai, Bespoke Island Residences by Atara Development
Atara Development's portfolio of luxury villas in Dubai is built on a single conviction: a home must earn its place on the ground it stands on. The practice is island-focused by choice, and every project in this collection came from the same process. Site walked before it was drawn. Orientation studied before it was planned. Material chosen for the conditions of that specific coast. Eight residences. Zero templates.
For buyers comparing luxury villas for sale in Dubai, the completed collection stands on Pearl Jumeirah, on La Mer South Island and in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, all freehold to buyers of all nationalities. The off-plan lane runs in two directions: the Sheraton Residences on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, and Velora Residence on Dubai Islands.
From five and six-bedroom island villas to the GCC's first Sheraton-branded residences and the fully furnished Velora Residence on Dubai Islands, no two Atara homes share a floor plan, a material palette or a design brief. That is not a coincidence. It is the standard, and it has held for over a decade of waterfront work.
Inside the Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort
The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort sits on the waterfront of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah: 171 off-plan apartments in one and two-bedroom configurations, priced from AED 2 million on a 30/70 payment plan, with completion scheduled for Q2 2029. In 2023, Atara Development signed a partnership with Marriott International to develop the GCC's first Sheraton-branded residential project.
Ownership starts with privileges, not promises. From the day of purchase, owners join Marriott International's ONVIA owner platform, with Marriott Bonvoy membership, curated experiences and hotel-grade amenities on day one rather than at handover: private beach access, a rooftop infinity pool, a 9,000 square foot wellness hub, sky kitchen, rooftop lounge and outdoor cinema.
Inside Velora Residence on Dubai Islands
Velora Residence is Atara Development's apartment building on Dubai Islands: ground plus eight floors, 58 residences, every one finished and delivered fully furnished. One-bedroom apartments start at 857 square feet; two-bedroom homes reach 1,860 square feet. Atara is the project developer, and the building stands inside Nakheel's master plan for the district.
The building is in its marketing launch rather than open sale, so floor plans, pricing and availability are released to registered buyers first, and the enquiry goes to the team delivering the building. Ten amenities serve the 58 homes, from the rooftop pool and gym to the outdoor cinema and the kids club. Ownership is freehold for all nationalities.

Eight projects across four island communities, each built to a different brief. Different site. Different answer. For shortlists of luxury villas in Dubai, this is the complete Atara collection: newly launching Velora Residence on Dubai Islands, the Sheraton Residences on Al Marjan Island, completed luxury villas for sale in Dubai on Pearl Jumeirah, La Mer South Island and in District One, none of it replicated.

Off-Plan · Sales Open
The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort
The GCC's first Sheraton-branded residences, 171 off-plan apartments with private beach, resort amenities, and Marriott Bonvoy privileges. Priced from AED 2M. The only branded residential opportunity of its kind in the UAE.
Luxury Villa
Haia Villa
Six bedrooms. 13,603 sq. ft. on Pearl Jumeirah Island. One of Atara's completed luxury villas in Dubai designed as a private retreat: pool, cinema, gym, wine room, massage suite. The kind of home that is genuinely difficult to leave.
Luxury Villa · Terra Collection
Kaia Villa
The debut residence of Atara's Terra Collection. A bespoke luxury villa in Dubai on Pearl Jumeirah — 12,609 sq. ft. designed around the natural materials of the island rather than imported against them. Kaia Villa is where nature meets the brief, not the other way around.
Luxury Villa
Isola Villa
The largest villa in Atara's Pearl Jumeirah collection. 15,154 sq. ft. across five levels including an exclusive Roof Mezzanine level that does not appear in any other Atara design. Six bedrooms. One singular address on Pearl Jumeirah Island.
Luxury Villa
Opal Villa
Five bedrooms. 15,079 sq. ft. on Pearl Jumeirah's pristine shores. The most restrained of Atara's luxury villas in Dubai — sea views, private pool, cinema, gym, and spa. Understated on purpose.
Beachfront Villa
La Mer Maisons
Six bedrooms and direct beach access on La Mer South Island, Jumeirah. La Mer Maisons is Atara's interpretation of coastal architecture built for buyers who want luxury real estate in Dubai without a barrier between the villa and the sea.
Luxury Villa
Laguna Villa
Six bedrooms in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City. 12,585 sq. ft. at the heart of Dubai. The only Atara luxury villa in Dubai not built on an island — it earned its place for the same reason the island villas did. The best site available, in a community without equals.
Why Buy a Private Island Villa in Dubai with Atara
Buyers who buy a luxury villa in Dubai from Atara buy from an island-focused practice, not a volume builder. Eight projects in over a decade, each one in-house from first sketch to handover. That is a deliberate choice, and it shows up in every finished home.
Island-First Expertise
Every Atara project is sited for the water. Tidal rhythms, coastal wind patterns and sea-facing orientation are studied before anything is drawn, which is why the practice's waterfront villas in Dubai read as part of the shoreline rather than buildings placed on it.
Designed and Built In-House
Architecture, interiors, construction and handover sit with one team, with no outsourcing at any stage. The people who draw a villa are the same people who build it and hand it over, so quality control never slips between disciplines.
A Decade of Deliveries
Completed residences stand on Pearl Jumeirah, La Mer South Island and in District One, and two further releases are under way with published routes to completion: the Sheraton Residences on Al Marjan Island and Velora Residence, now in its marketing launch on Dubai Islands. The best luxury villas in Dubai are the ones delivered as promised, and every Atara delivery date to date has been met.
Family-First Layouts
Five and six-bedroom plans are drawn around how a household actually lives: living rooms that open to the kitchen and terrace, a private bedroom floor, staff quarters, cinema and gym space, and parking kept out of sight. The practice builds luxury family villas first and showpieces second.
Freehold for All Nationalities
Pearl Jumeirah, La Mer South Island, Dubai Islands and Al Marjan Island are designated freehold zones. International buyers can purchase, own and sell with full title rights under the same framework as UAE nationals: no residency requirement, no nationality restrictions.
Marriott International Collaboration
Atara is the development partner behind the GCC's first Sheraton-branded residences, co-developed with Marriott International from the ground up. Not a licensing arrangement: a genuine collaboration embedded in the architecture from the earliest drawings.
Explore Dubai's Most Exclusive Island Communities
Atara builds where the water is. Each community was chosen for a different reason, and together they represent every type of luxury villa in Dubai and the UAE that a serious buyer could want.
Pearl Jumeirah Island
A fixed supply of just over 300 freehold plots off the Jumeirah coast, home to four completed Atara villas: Haia, Kaia, Isola and Opal.

What types of luxury villas does Atara offer in Dubai?
Atara's collection covers bespoke five and six-bedroom luxury villas in Dubai on Pearl Jumeirah Island, a beachfront villa on La Mer South Island, a family villa in District One, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, 58 fully furnished residences at Velora Residence on Dubai Islands, and 171 branded off-plan apartments on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. Eight projects, four communities, no two alike.
Are Atara villas for sale freehold and open to expats?
Yes. All Atara villas for sale in Dubai and the UAE sit in designated freehold zones, including Pearl Jumeirah Island, La Mer South Island, Dubai Islands and Al Marjan Island. As designated by the Dubai Land Department, ownership is open to all nationalities with full title rights, no residency requirement and no additional fees.
Does Atara offer off-plan projects?
Yes, two at present. The Residences at Sheraton Al Marjan Island Resort in Ras Al Khaimah is priced from AED 2 million with a 30/70 payment plan and Q2 2029 completion. Velora Residence on Dubai Islands is in its marketing launch, with floor plans, pricing and availability released to the register first. The off-plan property page carries the full offer for both.
What are the prices for luxury villas in Dubai by Atara?
The Sheraton Residences start from AED 2 million for one-bedroom units and AED 3.5 million for two-bedroom units with a 30/70 payment plan. Pricing for completed residences, including the Pearl Jumeirah collection and La Mer Maisons, is available on request, and Velora Residence figures are released to the register first. Contact the team or download the portfolio brochure for specifications and pricing. There is no obligation attached to an enquiry.
Where are Atara's waterfront villas in Dubai located?
On Pearl Jumeirah Island, where Haia, Kaia, Isola and Opal stand, and on La Mer South Island with La Mer Maisons. Dubai Islands is the newest community lane in the portfolio, home to Velora Residence. The Sheraton Residences are on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, about 45 minutes from Dubai International Airport and five minutes from the Wynn Resort site.
What makes Atara's island villas in the UAE different?
Every residence is designed and built entirely in-house, no project is outsourced, and no two homes share a design. Each villa is shaped by its island, the orientation of the sea and the brief of its future owner. For villas built on the islands of Dubai and across the UAE, that record is the answer.
Can I commission a custom-designed luxury villa in Dubai with Atara?
Commission conversations start with the Atara team directly. Because every project is designed and built in-house, a bespoke brief, where the island, the site and the owner's requirements align, is handled by one team from first sketch to handover. Contact the team to discuss what a commission would involve.
How do I view interiors and floor plans of Atara's villas?
Each project page carries a gallery for its villa: exterior images, interior photography and floor plans. The portfolio brochure gathers the same interior images, site plans and specifications in one document, and private viewings can be arranged through the team.
