Overview

Bluewaters Island is Meraas's premium mixed-use island sitting just off JBR, home to Ain Dubai (the world's largest observation wheel), Caesar's Palace, and a curated retail strip. Residential supply is deliberately limited, making it one of Dubai's most exclusive addresses. You pay for the exclusivity, the views, and the walkable luxury lifestyle.
