About The Jewels
The Jewels is a twin-tower freehold residential complex on the Dubai Marina waterfront, developed by The Cayan Group (also known as Cayan Property Developers) in partnership with Palma Holding.
Construction began in 2005 and the two towers, Tower A and Tower B, were completed in 2007. Each tower rises around 20 storeys above a shared waterfront podium, with the architecture practice RMJM (design led by Hazel Wong, known for her earlier work on the Emirates Towers) as the project's architectural consultant and El Seif Engineering Contracting Co. (ESEC) as main contractor. The development comprises 122 units in total, spanning one to three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, four-bedroom penthouses and a single five-bedroom villa, plus seven ground-floor retail units.
Developer, tower count, storeys, completion year and architect confirmed via Bayut's The Jewels building guide and Cayan Group's own project page for The Jewels. Unit count of 122 confirmed via Bayut and propsearch.ae's The Jewels building guide, both stating the same figure independently. Some aggregator listings state 21 storeys rather than 20, most likely a difference in whether a ground-level mezzanine is counted separately; this guide uses the 20-storey figure shared by Bayut and Cayan Group's own site.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
The Jewels sits directly on the Dubai Marina waterfront, along King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud Street, near the northern end of the Marina close to Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR).
The Walk at JBR is around 1 km away, with Madame Tussauds Dubai (about 1.1 km) and the Ain Dubai observation wheel (about 1.2 km) a little further along the coast. Dubai Marina Yacht Club, a five-Gold-Anchor-rated marina, and a public boat harbour sit directly in front of the towers. Bayut names Marina Wharf 1, Yacht Bay Tower and Marina Quays as the closest neighbouring buildings to The Jewels, and Royale Stays manages listings in all three: Marina Wharf, Yacht Bay Tower and Marina Quays.

Unit Types at The Jewels
The Jewels offers a wide range of configurations, each named after a gemstone. One-bedroom apartments (the 'Agate' layout) run from around 1,022 to 1,100 sq ft with two bathrooms. Two-bedroom 'Opal' apartments span roughly 1,930 to 2,249 sq ft, with two en-suite bedrooms, a maid's room and two dedicated parking spaces. Three-bedroom apartments come in 'Aquamarine' and 'Topaz' layouts of around 3,375 to 4,530 sq ft, some available as duplexes with sea-facing balconies. Four-bedroom penthouses ('Emerald' and 'Presidential') range from about 4,500 to roughly 7,400 sq ft with a private gym and pool, and a single five-bedroom triplex villa (the 'Ruby' layout) covers around 7,300 sq ft with its own garden, private pool, driver's room and private elevator.
Unit configuration names and sizes sourced from Bayut's The Jewels building guide. Propsearch.ae's The Jewels building guide independently confirms the same broad unit mix (one to three-bedroom apartments, duplexes, penthouses and lofts, plus five villas at the base of the towers) and the 122-unit total. The two sources differ slightly on villa count (Bayut describes one converted triplex villa; propsearch.ae describes five villas at the towers' base); both figures are disclosed here rather than force-resolved.
Amenities at The Jewels
Each tower has three high-speed elevators, round-the-clock security and central air conditioning. Residents share two resort-style swimming pools for adults and children, a large gym, a sauna with separate changing rooms, a children's play area, a tennis court, a basketball court, a barbecue deck and a cigar lounge. A Business Centre with a conference room and office facilities sits alongside a 24-hour concierge service and an Executive Lounge in the main lobby. Seven ground-floor retail units line the waterfront promenade, plus a handful of in-building outlets including a beauty salon and a real estate office.

Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Dubai Marina is one of Royale Stays' five core managed areas, alongside Palm Jumeirah, Downtown Dubai, JBR and Business Bay, so an apartment at The Jewels can be professionally managed for short-term letting today, subject to the standard DTCM holiday home permit. The Cayan Group is a private developer, not a restricted hotel brand, so there is no building-level prohibition on short-term rental use of the kind that applies to Vida-branded buildings elsewhere in Dubai. Royale Stays can arrange the DTCM permit, furnish and photograph the unit, manage pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance, for a management fee starting from 15%.
No building-specific Airbnb/STR occupancy or nightly-rate figures for The Jewels were found or invented for this guide. Permit routing and the Vida-brand exception are our own confirmed company policy, not a claim about The Jewels sourced from a third party.
