Al Bateen Residences: The Pinnacle of JBR

Al Bateen Residences: Beachfront Living at Its Most Absolute in the Heart of JBR

There is a distinction that matters enormously in Dubai’s waterfront property market — one that separates the merely well-located from the genuinely extraordinary. It is the difference between an apartment building that offers views of the sea, and one that stands directly on the sand with its own entry to the beach. In a city of 200-plus kilometres of coastline and tens of thousands of waterfront apartments, only a handful of residential towers—high-rise residential buildings in Dubai—can honestly claim the latter. Al Bateen Residences is one of them.

Rising 51 storeys above the southernmost point of Jumeirah Beach Residence — where The Walk’s 1.7-kilometre promenade meets the beach in a convergence of retail, dining, and the open Arabian Gulf — Al Bateen Residences is a completed beachfront tower by Al Ain Properties that offers one of the most genuinely direct relationships with the sea available in any residential building in Dubai. Al Bateen Towers, the twin-tower complex, features luxury amenities, a variety of apartment options, and a prime location within Dubai Marina, making it a standout among waterfront properties. The beach is not across the road, not a five-minute walk away, not accessible via a shared beach club. It is there, at the foot of the building, as an extension of daily life for the 300 families and individuals who call Al Bateen home.

For those who have decided that waterfront living in Dubai is not a compromise they are willing to make, Al Bateen Residences is the address that answers that decision completely. Located in Jumeirah Beach Residence Dubai, it offers a prestigious address with luxury beachfront living.

About Al Ain Properties: Precision, Heritage, and JBR’s Most Coveted Tower

Al Ain Properties is one of the UAE’s most established real estate developers, with a track record spanning both Abu Dhabi and Dubai that reflects a consistent commitment to quality construction, premium locations, and the kind of long-term asset stewardship that protects and grows the value of every property they deliver.

Al Bateen Residences represents their flagship statement within JBR — a deliberate decision to build not simply within one of Dubai’s most desirable communities, but at its most iconic point: the southern end of The Walk, where the sea view is unobstructed and the beach is at the door. The result is a tower that has, since its completion, been regarded as one of the most prestigious and sought-after addresses within the JBR community — a position reflected in the consistent demand for both sale and rental properties within the building.

The tower was completed and handed over as a fully delivered asset — meaning that buyers and investors acquire into a community that is already alive, fully operational, and already generating the rental income and lifestyle experience that the development promises.

The Building: A 51-Storey Icon at the Southern End of The Walk

Al Bateen Residences is the residential component of a twin-tower complex at JBR’s southern edge — a 51-storey residential tower that shares its site with the DoubleTree by Hilton Dubai hotel tower, a 24-storey hospitality asset that brings five-star hotel infrastructure, dining, and services to the immediate vicinity of every Al Bateen resident.

The two towers have fully separate entrances, lobbies, and amenity suites — ensuring that the privacy and exclusivity of the residential experience is maintained completely, while the proximity to a DoubleTree-managed hotel adds a dimension of convenience and lifestyle access that standalone residential towers simply cannot match. The Maine Oyster Bar & Grill, AREIA, and Boom Battle Bar — all within the hotel — are, in practical terms, part of the Al Bateen address.

The architectural design is contemporary and confidently proportioned — a tower of clean lines and generous glazing that was designed from the first principles of maximising views, natural light, and the visual relationship between interior spaces and the sea outside. Floor-to-ceiling windows and 10-foot high ceilings create a sense of volume and light throughout every unit. The neutral tones and contemporary finishes of the interiors extend that brightness inward, producing living spaces that feel open, calm, and immensely liveable. Each apartment features a spacious living area with large windows and open-plan layouts, enhancing comfort and offering a modern lifestyle for residents.

At levels 47 through 50, a dedicated collection of penthouse residences occupies the building’s crown — the summit of Al Bateen’s residential hierarchy, with elevation, views, and a sense of complete separation from the city below that makes these among the most coveted private residences anywhere in JBR. These exclusive penthouses offer multiple rooms, including several bedrooms, maid’s rooms, and expansive living spaces, catering to the needs of discerning residents.

Location: The Southernmost Point of JBR — Where Everything Converges

Jumeirah Beach Residence is, by almost any measure, the most comprehensively desirable residential address in Dubai for those who value urban waterfront living. It combines three things that most premium addresses cannot simultaneously deliver: direct beach access on the Arabian Gulf, a fully activated pedestrian promenade with world-class dining and retail, and seamless connectivity to the rest of one of the world’s great cities.

Al Bateen Residences sits at the southern anchor of The Walk — the point where the promenade reaches its most complete expression, with the full 1.7 kilometres of shops, cafés, restaurants, and beach in one direction, and the open sea in the other. It is, arguably, the finest position within JBR itself: elevated enough in the tower to command the full panorama, grounded enough in the community to feel part of its daily life.

By foot:

• JBR Beach — at the building’s base, with direct access
• The Walk promenade — steps from the lobby, the full 1.7km in either direction
• Restaurants, cafés, bars, and boutiques — dozens within a 5-minute walk; the nearest ones offer a wide variety of dining and entertainment options for residents and visitors
• JBR Tram Stop — connecting to Dubai Marina Metro Station (Red Line) within minutes

By car:

• 5 minutes to Dubai Marina and Marina Mall
• 7 minutes to Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai — the world’s largest observation wheel
• 10 minutes to Palm Jumeirah
• 15 minutes to Mall of the Emirates and Ski Dubai
• 20 minutes to Burj Al Arab
• 20 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa
• 28 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB)
• 35 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC)
• Direct access to Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) — Dubai’s primary arterial corridor
• 20 minutes to Jebel Ali — a sought-after residential and investment area in Dubai

For families, the education provision of the wider area is strong. Emirates International School Meadows is 3.0 km away. The Winchester School is 3.6 km. Dubai British School Jumeirah Park and Dubai British School Emirates Hills — both rated Outstanding by inspectors — are within a short drive, and the full infrastructure of JBR’s established community provides nurseries, medical clinics, pharmacies, and supermarkets within walking distance.

Residences: 1 to 4 Bedrooms and Penthouses, With the Arabian Gulf at Every Window

Al Bateen Residences offers 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom apartments plus an exclusive collection of penthouse residences on floors 47–50 — each unit engineered around a single, consistent ambition: to make the most extraordinary possible use of its extraordinary location.

Every apartment features a beach or sea view from its balcony — a consequence of the building’s positioning and orientation that ensures no resident is ever more than a glance away from the Arabian Gulf, Palm Jumeirah, or the Dubai Eye (Ain Dubai). For those seeking the ultimate in luxury, select apartments offer a full sea view, providing unobstructed, panoramic vistas and direct access to the beach. 10-foot high ceilings create genuine volume in every room. Operable windows bring the sea air inside. Fully equipped contemporary kitchens with modern appliances ensure that each home is ready to live in from day one. Built-in wardrobes and central air conditioning complete an interior provision that reflects the premium nature of the address.

1-Bedroom Apartments — from 1,028 sq ft to 1,082 sq ft, priced from AED 2,200,000 (~USD 599,000). In a market where standard JBR 1-bedroom apartments can be significantly smaller, Al Bateen’s entry-level configuration delivers above-average floor area and the full benefit of a direct beachfront address. Ideal for professionals, couples, and investors targeting JBR’s consistently strong rental demand.

2-Bedroom Apartments — from 1,462 sq ft to 1,800 sq ft, priced from AED 2,700,000 (~USD 735,000) to AED 4,500,000 (~USD 1,225,000). Generous, well-proportioned, and designed for real family life — distinct sleeping suites, full kitchen, spacious living areas, and balconies from which Palm Jumeirah and the open Gulf provide a backdrop that genuinely never gets old.

3-Bedroom Apartments — from 2,259 sq ft to 2,308 sq ft, priced from AED 3,600,000 (~USD 980,000) to AED 5,200,000 (~USD 1,416,000). Family-scale homes at a JBR beachfront address — the combination that the Dubai rental market rewards most generously and that end-user families cite most consistently as their reason for choosing Al Bateen.

4-Bedroom Apartments — from 2,945 sq ft, priced from AED 7,700,000 (~USD 2,096,000) to AED 8,900,000 (~USD 2,423,000). The largest standard configurations in the building — homes that accommodate every dimension of family life with space to spare, and views of the Gulf that stretch to the horizon.

Penthouses (Floors 47–50) — the crown of Al Bateen Residences, available by enquiry, offering the absolute pinnacle of JBR living: the full 360-degree panorama of Dubai’s coastline and skyline from elevation, the total privacy of a top-floor address, and interiors that represent the finest specification the development offers.

All units are available partly furnished — with the option to fully furnish and immediately activate for rental income, making Al Bateen one of the most investor-ready propositions in JBR’s resale market.

Amenities: Beachfront Living, Fully Serviced

Al Bateen Residences delivers a complete amenity suite — every element chosen for its relevance to a genuine beachfront lifestyle rather than for its appearance on a specification sheet.

The centrepiece is the beach itself. Direct beach access for residents makes the Arabian Gulf not a destination to plan a trip to, but a daily fixture — morning swims, evening walks on the sand, and the kind of unstructured outdoor time that the finest waterfront addresses make simply part of how a day unfolds.

The building’s own amenity suite completes the picture:

• Outdoor swimming pool — for resident use, separate from the hotel’s facilities
• State-of-the-art gymnasium — fully equipped with contemporary training equipment
• Jacuzzi — for recovery and relaxation as a daily option, not a weekend indulgence
• Sauna and steam room — delivering the full recovery infrastructure that active residents require
• Kids’ play area — dedicated, safe, and purpose-designed for families with younger children
• 24/7 security and CCTV surveillance — with dedicated guards and controlled access
• Allocated parking — covered, secure, and assigned per unit
• Reception service — a managed, staffed lobby that maintains the building’s standards consistently

In addition to these main amenities, residents benefit from a range of other facilities, including recreational, wellness, and convenience services that enhance daily living and support a comprehensive lifestyle.

The proximity to the DoubleTree by Hilton adds a layer of hospitality infrastructure that few residential-only towers can offer: hotel dining, event spaces, and a hospitality management culture that maintains the standards of the broader development.

Beyond the building, the JBR community functions as an infinite extension of the Al Bateen amenity offering: the full 1.7km of The Walk’s retail and dining, the beach and its water sports, the Dubai Tram, access to Marina Walk and the Dubai Marina yacht-lined waterfront, and the complete infrastructure of one of Dubai’s most mature and best-serviced communities.

The Lifestyle: Community, Connection, and Everyday Luxury

Life at Al Bateen Residences is the embodiment of beachfront luxury in the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), where every day brings together the best of Dubai’s urban energy and the tranquility of the Arabian Gulf. Here, community and connection are woven into the fabric of daily living, with residents enjoying a vibrant social scene and a host of amenities that make every moment feel exceptional.

Step outside your door and you’re immediately immersed in the lively atmosphere of The Walk at JBR—a cosmopolitan promenade just a short walk away, lined with international restaurants, stylish cafés, and boutique shops. Whether you’re meeting friends for brunch, enjoying a sunset stroll, or exploring the latest culinary hotspots, everything is within walking distance. The Maine Oyster Bar, a local favorite, is just one of many fine dining options that add to the area’s allure.

Al Bateen Residences offers direct beach access and a private stretch of sand, allowing residents to unwind with morning swims, sunbathe with uninterrupted sea views, or host gatherings against the backdrop of the Arabian Gulf. The swimming pools and fully equipped gym provide spaces for relaxation and wellness, while 24-hour security ensures peace of mind for families and individuals alike.

The prime location of Al Bateen means you’re perfectly positioned to experience Dubai’s most iconic destinations. Palm Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island, and Downtown Dubai are all within easy reach, making spontaneous trips to Dubai Mall, world-class attractions, or the city’s vibrant nightlife effortless. For travelers and frequent flyers, Al Maktoum International Airport is conveniently close, connecting you to the world with minimal hassle.

Connectivity is a hallmark of life at Al Bateen. With public transportation options—including nearby metro and tram stations—residents can explore Dubai Marina, Jumeirah Beach Residence JBR, and the wider city with ease. The surrounding area is rich with amenities, from supermarkets and pharmacies to schools and medical clinics, all designed to support a seamless, comfortable lifestyle.

Developed by Al Ain Properties, Al Bateen Residences stands as a testament to quality and attention to detail, offering spacious accommodations, built-in wardrobes, and central air conditioning in every apartment. The community’s welcoming atmosphere, combined with its convenient location and exceptional services, creates a sense of belonging that is rare in Dubai’s fast-paced property market.

For those seeking a lifestyle defined by luxury, convenience, and connection, Al Bateen Residences in Jumeirah Beach Residence is truly unmatched. With its private beach, panoramic sea views, and access to the best of Dubai, it’s more than a place to live—it’s a place to thrive.

Investment Case: JBR’s Highest-Performing Address on Its Most Coveted Stretch

Al Bateen Residences offers a compelling investment case rooted in a combination of structural factors that reinforce each other consistently and are unlikely to diminish over time.

JBR is Dubai’s top-performing rental district. Confirmed by Bayut data across 2024 and 2025, Jumeirah Beach Residence consistently delivers the highest rental performance of any residential area in Dubai — a consequence of the combination of beach access, community activation, and the sustained demand generated by Dubai’s 17+ million annual tourists and its growing high-income expatriate professional population.

Direct beach access creates a measurable premium. Within JBR’s 40 towers, only a very small number offer direct, non-shared beach access to their residents. Al Bateen is among them. That distinction translates into a rental and resale premium of approximately 15–20% over standard JBR towers without direct beach access — a structural advantage that compounds over time.

Large unit sizes outperform. Al Bateen’s 1-bedroom apartments begin at 1,028 sq ft — meaningfully larger than many JBR 1-bedrooms. In Dubai’s rental market, floor area is a primary driver of both the quality of tenant attracted and the rental rate achieved. Al Bateen’s generously proportioned units attract the most stable, longest-tenure tenants in the JBR rental market.

Rental yield fundamentals remain strong. JBR delivers gross rental yields ranging from 6–8% per annum, with direct-beachfront units consistently at the upper end of that range. Al Bateen’s average price per sq ft of AED 1,252 — combined with rental rates reflecting its location and specification — produces yields that compare favourably with any premium waterfront address in the city.

Freehold ownership is available to all nationalities, in a district that has been one of Dubai’s most liquid resale markets since its completion in 2003. Emaar Beachfront’s continued development, and the expansion of Dubai Harbour immediately adjacent, create sustained upward pressure on capital values throughout the JBR and Marina coastal corridor.

Zero UAE property tax means that all rental income and capital gains are retained in full — a structural return advantage that investors from taxed markets find transformative when calculating true net yields.

UAE Investor Visa eligibility. Purchases above AED 750,000 qualify for the UAE investor visa. Purchases above AED 2,000,000 qualify buyers and their immediate families for the UAE 10-year Golden Visa — providing long-term residency rights renewable as long as ownership is maintained.\

Step Through the Lobby and Onto the Sand

Dubai has hundreds of towers with sea views. It has dozens in JBR. It has a handful with direct beach access. And it has Al Bateen Residences — a 51-storey completed tower at the most animated point of Dubai’s most celebrated beachfront community, where the sea is not a backdrop but a daily companion.
