Siniya Island (Al Sinniyah) blends the UAE’s deep heritage with a bold new future. Once a quiet nature reserve off Umm Al Quwain, it is now emerging as a distinctive island destination where archaeological legacy meets ultra-modern luxury living.








The Siniya Island masterplan is a sprawling 16.1 million sq.ft. blueprint that balances ultra-luxury urbanism with the island’s rich ecological and archaeological heritage. At its heart, the development is defined by a low-density, dedicating nearly 50% of the land to open green spaces and natural sanctuaries to protect the local gazelle populations and ancient mangrove forests.
The residential layout is segmented into exclusive clusters, ranging from the palatial Coral Beach mansions with direct private access to 12 kilometres of pristine coastline, to the sophisticated high-rise apartments of the Coastline Beach Residences. These clusters are strategically linked by a 2.85 km boardwalk and a massive maritime hub featuring a luxury yacht club and a signature 18-hole championship golf course that meanders through tidal lagoons.
The infrastructure of the masterplan is designed for seamless modern living while maintaining an air of secluded exclusivity. Connectivity is anchored by a newly completed 1.7 km bridge linking the island to the E11 highway, supplemented by high-end logistics like helicopter and air taxi pads for rapid transit.
With a total project value of AED 18 billion, this masterplan serves as a sustainable bridge between the UAE’s past, evidenced by the nearby 6th-century pearling village and a future of high-end, resort-style permanent residency.
Sobha Siniya Mall: A boutique community mall featuring international luxury brands, artisanal markets, and essential services.
18-Hole Championship Golf Course: A premier course designed to weave through the island’s natural mangroves and lagoons, offering sea views from almost every hole.
Exclusive Yacht Club & Marina: A full-service marina providing private berths, a designer clubhouse, and a 2.85 km boardwalk featuring fine dining and boutique retail.
The Floating Pavilion: A unique architectural landmark used for community events, private gatherings, and sunset viewing over the Gulf.
Beach Clubs & Lagoons: Multiple private beach clubs with infinity pools, cabanas, and direct access to 6 km of swimmable white-sand beaches.
Ecological Park: A vast, protected zone dedicated to the island’s local wildlife, including gazelles, oryx, and the famous flamingo colonies.
Mangrove & Tide Trails: Specialised boardwalks and trails designed for eco-trekking, bird-watching, and quiet meditation within the mangrove forests.
The Wellness Loop: A 9 km dedicated track for cycling and professional-grade running.
While it was historically accessible only by boat, it is now connected to the mainland (E11 highway) by a 1.7 km dedicated bridge. For high-net-worth residents, the masterplan also includes a Helicopter and Air Taxi landing pad.
Siniya is a natural island, not reclaimed land. It features 1,500 year-old archaeological sites (a monastery and pearling town) and protected wildlife (gazelles and flamingos), offering a "heritage-eco" vibe that man-made islands cannot replicate.
Absolutely. Siniya Island is designed as an eco-sanctuary, making it one of the most pet-friendly developments in the Northern Emirates. The masterplan includes dedicated dog parks and pet-wash stations.
Yes. Siniya Island is a designated Freehold area. Foreign investors and expats of all nationalities can own property 100% in their name, with the same rights to sell, lease, or inherit the asset as in Dubai.
