See all TransactionsBluewaters Island is a luxurious man-made island located off the coast of Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR) in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It can be accessed via a 265-meter pedestrian bridge from The Beach opposite JBR or by car through the exit from Sheikh Zayed Road. The island is close to Dubai Marina and has stunning views of the Arabian Gulf and the iconic Dubai skyline. Bluewaters Island doesn’t have a dedicated metro station, but it’s highly well-connected to public transport via nearby hubs. The DMCC Metro Station (Red Line) is just 5–7 minutes away by car, providing easy access to key areas such as Downtown Dubai, DIFC, and Dubai International Airport. For those commuting by public transport, RTA feeder buses connect the island to Dubai Marina and JBR. The pedestrian bridge linking Bluewaters to JBR makes it easy for residents to walk over and access the tram and metro stations. Bluewaters Island offers ample and well-managed parking for both residents and visitors. A large underground parking facility with over 2,000 spaces serves the island, including Ain Dubai, retail zones, and dining venues. Visitors can expect paid parking (around AED 20 per hour), with some outlets offering free validated parking upon minimum spend.

Visited for a weekend - genuinely stunning views and a nice boardwalk vibe, felt more like a destination than a typical residential area. Bridge access can back up during Marina events
Living on Bluewaters honestly feels like you're permanently on a luxury vacation, and being able to just walk across the pedestrian bridge to JBR in the winter is amazing. The apartments are gorgeous and having that kind of ocean view never gets old. The only real downside—aside from the crazy high rent—is dealing with the weekend bottlenecks on the bridge when everyone in Dubai decides they want to visit the island for dinner.
Bluewaters Island features Bluewaters Residences, a collection of 10 mid-rise buildings offering 1 to 4-bedroom premium apartments, penthouses, and a select number of podium-level townhouses.
