About Marina Wharf
Marina Wharf is a twin-tower residential complex on Marina Promenade in Dubai Marina, made up of Marina Wharf 1 and its sister tower, Marina Wharf 2. Developed by Dheeraj & East Coast, both towers rise 29 storeys, with construction getting underway around 2006 to 2007 and the complex completed in 2010. Together the two towers hold 146 residential units in a mix of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments.
This page covers Marina Wharf 1 specifically, along with the complex the two towers share; for a closer look at the sister tower, see our separate guide to Marina Wharf II.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Marina Wharf sits on Marina Promenade near the southern end of Dubai Marina, close to the JBR boundary. For the wider Dubai Marina area, see our Dubai Marina Airbnb management guide.
The sister tower, Marina Wharf II, sits alongside Marina Wharf 1 in the same complex. Nearby buildings on this stretch of the Marina include Attessa Tower and Marina Quay West, both within walking distance along Marina Promenade.
Unit Types
Marina Wharf 1 offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments. 1-bedroom units run around 822 sq ft, 2-bedroom units around 1,180 sq ft, and 3-bedroom units around 2,000 sq ft, each with a living and dining area, a fitted kitchen and a terrace accessible from the living space or bedroom. Across the wider Marina Wharf complex, unit sizes range a little more broadly by floor and layout, from around 780 sq ft for a 1-bedroom up to around 1,944 sq ft for the largest 3-bedroom configurations, per Bayut's building guide.
Amenities
Residents have access to a swimming pool, gym, sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi, plus a squash court, billiards room and six-lane bowling alley shared across the complex. There are barbecue areas and podium gardens with jogging tracks, a children's play area, and 24-hour security with CCTV monitoring. The building is pet-friendly, and district cooling is provided by Empower.
Transportation & Access
The nearest tram stop is Jumeirah Beach Residence Station 2, a short walk away, and DMCC Metro Station is the closest metro connection. Sobha Realty Metro Station on the Red Line is also within reach for residents heading further along the Marina.
Rental & Price Trends
Across Royale Stays managed Dubai Marina apartments, the blended rate runs AED 921 a night at 88% occupancy. By unit type, a one-bedroom averages AED 600 a night for about AED 16,406 a month, a two-bedroom AED 755 a night for roughly AED 20,712 a month, and a three-bedroom AED 1,092 a night for around AED 29,625 a month. Marina Wharf 1's 1, 2 and 3-bedroom mix covers that full range. No Marina Wharf-specific budget file exists in Royale Stays' managed portfolio data as of this build, so the figures above are Dubai Marina area-blended, not exclusive to this tower.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Marina Wharf, needs a valid DTCM holiday-home permit before taking bookings. Marina Wharf is a standard freehold residential complex, not hotel-branded or serviced-apartment, so owners apply for the permit directly rather than through a building management office.
Royale Stays runs the full operation for owners here for a fee starting from 15%, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications, with a single monthly statement covering revenue, fee, costs and net transfer.
Marina Wharf combines a Marina Promenade address with a 1, 2 and 3-bedroom unit mix, a workable base for short-term rental demand on this stretch of Dubai Marina. To see what a Marina Wharf apartment can earn, get a free earnings estimate and get started today.
