Waves Opulence
Waves Opulence is a residential tower developed by Sobha Realty in the waterfront district of Sobha Hartland, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. It is the third and final tower in Sobha Realty's Waves Trilogy, following the completed Hartland Waves and Waves Grande towers in the same district. The 36-storey building holds a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments alongside four-bedroom duplex residences, with sizes running from around 798 to 2,724 square feet per multiple property-portal listings. Waves Opulence is targeted for delivery in 2026, with construction reported at roughly 88 percent complete, including the structure and facade largely finished, as of an early-2026 update. It is a separate project from Hartland Waves and Waves Grande, and has no connection to Waves Tower by Kasco in Business Bay or The Waves in Dubai Marina, which simply share part of the name.

Rental & Price Trends
No independently verified long-term rental figure specific to Waves Opulence was confirmed during this research pass, since the building has not yet reached handover. Prices for new units started from roughly AED 1.55 to 1.57 million per the developer's own listing and a corroborating third-party source, payable on a 20 percent booking deposit, 40 percent during construction, and the final 40 percent on handover. Owners weighing up a specific unit’s numbers can run their own scenario through Royale Stays' ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Sobha Hartland is not one of Royale Stays' current core managed areas, so this guide does not invent a specific AED income figure for Waves Opulence. As a standard Sobha Realty freehold building with no hotel-brand operator, the usual DTCM holiday-home permit route applies once the building reaches handover.
Real short-term-rental demand already exists in the wider Waves Trilogy family: live Airbnb search results turned up individually listed 'Sobha Waves' apartments in Sobha Hartland, including a 2-bedroom and a 1-bedroom unit, both in the completed trilogy towers, pointing to genuine STR activity at the building-family level, though not yet at Waves Opulence specifically since it has not been delivered. Owners weighing up the permit side of short-term letting can read Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for how the process works in practice, and Royale Stays' Airbnb management services, covering furnishing, photography, pricing, guest communication, check-in and maintenance, are available from a management fee starting at 15% once a unit is ready to list.
