About Marina Residences 4

Marina Residences 4 is a residential tower on Palm Jumeirah, one of six numbered towers that make up Nakheel's Marina Residences complex at the tip of the Palm Jumeirah trunk. Despite the name, the building sits on Palm Jumeirah itself, not in Dubai Marina, and it is also a genuinely different building from "Marina Residence" in Dubai Marina, a separate two-tower development by Sharaf Group on Marsa Street. The two are easy to confuse by name alone, but they sit in different areas, came from different developers, and have different unit counts entirely.

Marina Residences 4 is a 15-storey tower, completed in 2009, developed by Nakheel and built as freehold. It offers two and three-bedroom apartments; the wider Marina Residences complex around it adds one-bedroom apartments, four and five-bedroom duplex penthouses, and three-storey townhouses along the promenade across its other five towers, with 940 units in total across the six buildings. The exact unit count for Building 4 on its own has not been independently confirmed by any source checked for this guide, so no building-specific figure is stated here.


Location & Nearby Landmarks

Marina Residences 4 sits at the tip of the Palm Jumeirah trunk, built around Nakheel's 600-berth Anchor Marina. Nearby landmarks include The Pointe, about 7 minutes away, Nakheel Mall, roughly 800 metres and about a 10-minute walk, and Atlantis The Palm. Fairmont The Palm is around a 5-minute drive, and sibling tower Marina Residences 1 sits about 5 minutes away within the same complex.

For a full picture of Airbnb management across the island, see Royale Stays' area guide to Airbnb property management on Palm Jumeirah. Marina Residences 4 joins Royale Stays' Palm Jumeirah Building Guide cluster alongside Fairmont The Residence North, Marina Residences 6, Shoreline Apartments Building 6, and its own numbered sibling Marina Residences 2; more Palm Jumeirah buildings will be added to this cluster over time.


Unit Types

Marina Residences 4 offers two and three-bedroom apartments; Bayut lists three-bedroom units at around 2,439 sq ft. No floor-plan diagrams are included here: floor plans are typically the developer's or broker's proprietary material and have not been independently verified for this guide.


Amenities

Marina Residences 4's on-site facilities include a shared swimming pool, gym, a barbeque area, and a kids' play area, and the building is pet-friendly with multiple high-speed elevators, based on listing-level descriptions. Owners and prospective renters should confirm current on-site facilities directly with the building's management, since amenity offerings can change over time.


Transportation & Access

Palm Jumeirah is served by the Palm Monorail, connecting to the Dubai Tram at Gateway Towers station on the mainland. Bus stops at Royal Mirage Hotel and Palm Jumeirah Monorail Station sit about 10 minutes from Marina Residences 4, with Internet City Metro Station roughly 14 minutes away and Sobha Realty Metro Station about a 15-minute drive.


Bayut's own listings show two-bedroom apartments at Marina Residences 4 renting for roughly AED 175,000 to AED 230,000 a year, with sale prices ranging from about AED 3.8 million to AED 13 million, figures from Bayut, not a Royale Stays estimate. Owners considering a unit at Marina Residences 4 can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate.


Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential

Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Marina Residences 4, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Marina Residences 4 would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.

Marina Residences 4 already has a genuine short-term rental presence: an Airbnb listing for a two-bedroom unit, "Exclusive 2BR Home Marina Residence 4, The Palm", and a Booking.com listing run by Mint Stay, a Dubai-based hospitality operator, both naming the building directly. Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Marina Residences 4 to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.

For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Marina Residences 4, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Palm Jumeirah listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly, from a fee starting at 15% of gross booking revenue. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review.

Royale Stays does not yet have Marina Residences 4-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the already-visible operator and listing demand at Marina Residences 4 only.
