Elara 1 & 2 at Madinat Jumeirah LIving

Set within the established, highly sought-after community of Madinat Jumeirah Living, Elara 1 and Elara 2 offer a refined collection of residences designed for modern Dubai living. Developed by Meraas, Elara reflects a considered approach to architecture and lifestyle — one that prioritises walkability, privacy and a seamless connection to greenery, while remaining within close reach of the city’s most celebrated landmarks.

Madinat Jumeirah Living itself is one of the few freehold communities in the Jumeirah district, positioned directly opposite the iconic Burj Al Arab and moments from the coastline. Designed as a low-rise, pedestrian-friendly neighbourhood, the master plan replaces high-density towers with elegant mid-rise buildings, shaded walkways and landscaped courtyards, creating a tranquil environment rarely found in such a prime address.

Elara 1 comprises a collection of low-rise buildings rising up to 5 storeys, offering a selection of 1-, 2- and 3-bedroom apartments, along with expansive 4-bedroom penthouses. In total, the first phase features approximately 326 residences. Apartment sizes range from approximately 727 sq.ft for well-proportioned one-bedroom layouts to over 2,300 sq.ft for spacious three-bedroom configurations, while the penthouses extend to around 4,500 sq.ft, offering elevated views and generous terraces designed for entertaining.

Elara 2 builds upon this vision, introducing an additional residential building within the same architectural language. The residences continue the emphasis on contemporary layouts, natural light, and understated luxury, with 1- to 3-bedroom apartments thoughtfully configured for both end users and investors seeking a prime coastal location. Together, Elara 1 and 2 create a cohesive micro-community within MJL, defined by privacy, greenery and refined detailing.

Interiors throughout Elara are characterised by soft neutral palettes, floor-to-ceiling glazing and open-plan living spaces that maximise light and flow. Kitchens are elegantly appointed, bedrooms are proportioned for comfort, and balconies extend the living space outward, capturing views across landscaped courtyards and the surrounding community.

Residents benefit from a curated selection of lifestyle amenities including swimming pools, fully equipped fitness centres, children’s play areas and landscaped communal spaces. The wider Madinat Jumeirah Living master plan further enhances the offering with retail, dining and leisure options within walking distance — a rare feature in a beachfront-adjacent district.

Starting prices for Elara residences begin from approximately AED 2.3 million for one-bedroom apartments, positioning the development within the premium segment of Dubai’s freehold market. The combination of limited supply in Jumeirah, proximity to the coastline, and the developer's pedigree continues to underpin strong demand from both local and international buyers.

Elara 1 and Elara 2 ultimately offer something increasingly rare in Dubai — contemporary, low-rise living in a prestigious coastal setting, where architecture, location and lifestyle converge in quiet sophistication.
