About Al Bateen Residence
Al Bateen Residence is a 50-storey residential tower in Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), developed by Al Ain Properties. It sits within a wider two-tower complex that also includes a separate DoubleTree by Hilton hotel tower of 24 storeys. These are two distinct buildings: Al Bateen Residence itself is a standard freehold residential tower with individually owned apartments, run as a normal self-manage or Airbnb building, and is legally and operationally separate from the adjoining hotel tower.
Construction on the complex began in 2007, with Al Bateen Residence completing in 2014. Sources place 300 residential units in the tower, with one source citing an additional 4 penthouses on top of that figure. The hotel tower next door holds around 110 keys of its own, a separate count that should not be confused with the residential tower's 300 apartments.
One naming note worth flagging directly: at least one major portal's own page title lists this building as "Al Bateen Residence JVC Guide," placing it in Jumeirah Village Circle. That title appears to be an error, since the same page's body text and every other source Royale Stays checked place the building in JBR, toward the south end of The Walk. This guide treats Al Bateen Residence as a JBR building, not a JVC one.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Al Bateen Residence sits within Jumeirah Beach Residence, toward the south end of The Walk, part of the wider beachfront cluster of towers between Dubai Marina and the rest of JBR. Royale Stays has not independently confirmed exact walking or drive times from the tower to specific landmarks in this pass, so this guide describes the area at a general level. Owners comparing this address against the wider district can read Royale Stays' guide to Airbnb management across JBR for the fuller picture.
JBR's beachfront promenade, The Walk and The Beach at JBR sit within the immediate area, along with the JBR tram line, which connects to the Dubai Marina Metro stations on the Red Line. Sheikh Zayed Road frontage gives the wider area direct access to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and the rest of the city, though Royale Stays has not confirmed an exact walking distance from Al Bateen Residence itself.
Unit Types
Al Bateen Residence's residential tower holds a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses. Sources place 300 residential units in the tower, with one source citing 4 additional penthouses on top of that figure. This unit count and mix refers to the residential tower only, not the adjoining DoubleTree by Hilton hotel tower's roughly 110 keys, which is a separate building with its own separate count. No floor-plan diagrams are included here either: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.
Amenities
As with most JBR residential towers of comparable scale, Al Bateen Residence likely includes standard building amenities such as a shared swimming pool, a gym and covered parking, alongside direct proximity to JBR's beach and retail promenade. Being part of the same complex as a DoubleTree by Hilton hotel tower does not mean residential-tower owners or guests automatically have access to hotel-only facilities; Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific building-wide amenities list for the residential tower in this pass, so no exact list is stated as confirmed fact here rather than guessed at.
Transportation & Access
The JBR tram line runs the length of the district and connects to the Dubai Marina Metro stations on the Red Line, giving Al Bateen Residence access to Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and the wider city without a car. Sheikh Zayed Road is a short drive from JBR, connecting out to the rest of Dubai, though Royale Stays has not confirmed an exact walking or drive distance from Al Bateen Residence specifically.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not found a citable long-term-lease market report specific to JBR or to Al Bateen Residence for this pass, unlike some other Dubai districts where an established annual rental figure is publicly reported. Rather than invent an area-level number without a source, this guide states that gap honestly. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential can instead run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Service charges specific to Al Bateen Residence have not been independently confirmed via the DLD's Mollak index for this pass and are omitted here rather than estimated.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Al Bateen Residence, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. Because Al Bateen Residence itself is a standard freehold residential tower and not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment building, the usual owner-facing DTCM application route applies directly, without the added routing complication that can affect hotel-operated buildings; the adjoining DoubleTree by Hilton tower is a separate building with a separate structure. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
An earlier SERP check flagged a short-term-rental signal for searches around this building, but Royale Stays has not found further independent confirmation from an operator or listing this pass beyond that signal: one dedicated third-party building page returned a blocked response during this review and could not be verified directly, so it is not cited here as a source. Rather than overstate the evidence, this guide states plainly that STR interest around Al Bateen Residence is indicated but not independently corroborated in this pass. Across Royale Stays' own managed JBR portfolio, studios average around AED 100,000 to AED 130,000 per year, one-bedroom units around AED 145,000 to AED 195,000, two-bedroom units around AED 210,000 to AED 300,000, and three-bedroom units around AED 330,000 to AED 480,000. Royale Stays has not confirmed which of these bedroom counts are actually present at Al Bateen Residence, so owners should treat this range as JBR-wide context rather than a building-specific figure.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Al Bateen Residence, the practical starting points are the same as anywhere else in JBR: applying for the DTCM permit and pricing the unit competitively against comparable JBR listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, and our guide to what separates a strong Airbnb management company from a weak one sets out what to look for when comparing operators. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
