About Botanica Tower
Botanica Tower is a 41-storey mixed-use building on the Dubai Marina waterfront, developed by Select Group. Bayut's own building guide, fetched live for this guide, confirms the tower was launched in 2004 and completed in 2011, with around 371 ready units. Select Group's own development page independently corroborates the same 371-unit total and 41-storey height, adding a built-up area of over 666,000 sq ft.
The building's standout feature is a sky garden on the 27th floor, described by Bayut as the tower's most unique element and by Select Group as making Botanica 'the only private residence in the city with a tropical sky garden'. Both sources agree on the unit mix: studio, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, alongside 5-bedroom penthouses and 2-bedroom poolside villas, plus retail units on the ground floor.
Ownership at Botanica Tower is freehold, confirmed via Select Group's own site. The task brief compiling sources for this guide also notes standard freehold ownership with no hotel component, per Bayut.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Botanica Tower sits near Al Sufouh Road with easy access to Sheikh Zayed Road, per Bayut. Select Group's own page adds that the building has direct access to Marina Walk, with residents overlooking coastal and marina views from the waterfront tower.
For the wider area, Royale Stays' own guide to Airbnb management across Dubai Marina covers short-term rental performance and licensing across the district. Bayut names Princess Tower as one of the closest neighbouring buildings, just 3 minutes away, and a strong residential landmark in its own right; Royale Stays covers it separately in a dedicated Princess Tower Airbnb income guide. Other Dubai Marina buildings covered separately include Marina Diamonds and Skyview Tower.
Bayut also names The Jewels, Mag 218, Emirates Crown, Marina First Tower and Habtoor Grand Residences Dubai among nearby buildings, and lists The Walk, JBR (5 minutes away), Skydive Dubai (8 minutes away) and Dubai Marina Walk (9 minutes away) as major landmarks close to the tower.
Unit Types
Both Bayut and Select Group describe the same unit mix at Botanica Tower: studio apartments, 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, 5-bedroom penthouses, and 2-bedroom villas. Select Group's own copy calls the villas 'exclusive poolside villas' and describes the penthouses as catering to 'a variety of contemporary tastes'.
Neither source breaks the unit mix down by exact square footage per type. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's proprietary material and are not reproduced in this guide.
Amenities
Per Bayut, Botanica Tower has a temperature-controlled swimming pool and a gym equipped with the latest fitness machines, a steam room and a jacuzzi. Select Group's own page adds a tropical themed pool deck, sauna and steam rooms as part of the building's lifestyle amenities.
Both sources confirm 24-hour security and covered parking for residents; Select Group describes it as secure underground parking, while Bayut notes visitors must use public parking on nearby streets. Multiple high-speed elevators and a high-tech security system are also listed by Bayut, alongside sea views from many of the building's balconies.
Transportation & Access
Per Bayut, the Jumeirah Beach Residence Station 1 bus stop is around 3 minutes from Botanica Tower, with DMCC Metro Station around 5 minutes away, DAMAC Properties Metro Station around 9 minutes away, and Nakheel Metro Station around 10 minutes away.
Dubai Marina Mall, Marina Towers and Jumeirah Beach Residence 1 tram stations are all listed by Bayut as roughly 6 minutes from the tower. Select Group separately notes direct access to Marina Walk on foot, putting waterfront dining and retail immediately outside the building.
Rental & Price Trends
Neither Bayut nor Select Group's own page provides dated Dubai Land Department resale or rental transaction figures specific to Botanica Tower, so no such transaction data is stated here as fact.
Royale Stays has not independently confirmed a specific long-term monthly rental figure or service charge for Botanica Tower in this pass. Owners weighing a specific unit's earning potential can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
No specific short-term rental listing or operator activity tied directly to Botanica Tower's name was found for this guide, beyond what was already checked in the task brief compiling sources for this series. That absence is stated here honestly rather than inferred from other Dubai Marina buildings.
As a standard freehold tower with no hotel or serviced-apartment branding, an individual owner at Botanica Tower can generally apply for a DTCM holiday home permit in the normal way. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit sets out the current fees and renewal process.
Dubai Marina remains one of Royale Stays' core managed areas, and owners at Botanica Tower can lean on Royale Stays' full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications service rather than handling listings directly, backed by the same operational approach behind Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company in Dubai. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
