About Club Vista Mare
Club Vista Mare is a low-rise beachfront building on the eastern trunk of Palm Jumeirah, developed by Nakheel. The project launched in early 2013, construction began that December, and the building was substantially complete by December 2015; Nakheel officially opened Club Vista Mare to the public in October 2016. The residential component sits on the upper floor above a ground-floor promenade of restaurants and retail, and is widely reported as 37 studio apartments, originally launched for sale at around AED 1.15 million each. A smaller number of third-party portals cite 33 studio units instead of 37, a minor cross-source discrepancy kept hedged here rather than stated as a single settled figure.
Club Vista Mare is best known today as one of Palm Jumeirah's most visited dining destinations, not as a residential address, and most search results for its name are restaurant reviews and dining guides rather than property listings. This guide covers the building's 37 studio apartments specifically: their location, amenities and short-term rental potential for owners, distinct from (though sitting directly above) the restaurant promenade the name is more commonly associated with.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Club Vista Mare sits on the trunk of Palm Jumeirah, on the island's eastern shoreline, with sea views toward Dubai's mainland skyline. The trunk position gives residents and guests quicker road access than buildings out on the Crescent or the Fronds: Dubai Mall is roughly 20 minutes away by car, Burj Al Arab around 15 minutes, and The Walk at JBR also around 15 minutes. Dubai International Airport (DXB) is roughly 28 minutes' drive, and Al Maktoum International Airport around 37 minutes.
Club Vista Mare joins Royale Stays' wider Palm Jumeirah Building Guide cluster alongside trunk-area siblings Golden Mile 7 and Como Residences, plus The 8, another Palm Jumeirah building Royale Stays covers.
Unit Types
Club Vista Mare offers a single unit type: studio apartments, positioned on the building's upper floor above the ground-floor dining and retail promenade. The building is widely reported to hold 37 studio units in total (Nakheel's own 2016 opening announcement, syndicated by Emirates24|7, Emirates Woman and Gulf Business), though a smaller number of third-party portals such as Propsearch and FazWaz cite 33 instead; this guide uses the wider-reported 37 figure but flags the discrepancy rather than treating it as settled. Studio units were originally launched for sale at around AED 1.15 million each.
Amenities
Club Vista Mare's standout amenity is what sits beneath it: seven beachfront restaurants and cafes spanning roughly 50,000 square feet of ground-floor space, serving Italian, Middle Eastern, European, American, Nikkei (Peruvian-Japanese) and Ethiopian cuisine across indoor and outdoor terrace seating, some directly on the beach, with room for up to 2,000 diners at a time. Residents also have access to a swimming pool, gym facilities and direct beach access, alongside the 24-hour security typical of Nakheel-developed Palm Jumeirah buildings.
Transportation & Access
Palm Jumeirah has no Dubai Metro station of its own, so residents and guests generally rely on private car, taxi or ride-hailing apps like Careem. Club Vista Mare's trunk-side position is a practical advantage here, sitting closer to the mainland connection than buildings further out on the Crescent or Fronds. Dubai Mall is roughly 20 minutes away by car, Burj Al Arab and The Walk at JBR both around 15 minutes, and Dubai International Airport (DXB) roughly 28 minutes.
Rental & Price Trends
No Club Vista Mare-specific short-term nightly rate or occupancy figure from Royale Stays' own portfolio was confidently available for this guide, so the figure below is a Palm Jumeirah area-blended average for studio units specifically, the building's only unit type: around AED 956 a night at roughly 88 percent occupancy, averaging around AED 26,195 a month.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Club Vista Mare apartments are individually owned freehold units. As with other Nakheel-developed Palm Jumeirah buildings, formal permit arrangements for short-term letting are typically routed through the building's own management rather than a standalone owner application, a standard, workable process rather than a blocker.
Royale Stays manages furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in, guest communications and maintenance for owners here from a fee starting from 15%. The building's ground-floor dining destination is a genuine guest draw: owners marketing a Club Vista Mare studio can reasonably highlight direct access to seven beachfront restaurants as part of the listing, something few other Palm Jumeirah buildings can offer at the same walking distance.
No confirmed direct STR listing under Royale Stays' own management was independently verified for this specific building during research; the wider Palm Jumeirah area's own established STR activity, and the studio-specific area-blended average above, are used as context instead of inventing a building-specific figure.
