Apartment Prices in Dubai Marina 2026

Apartment prices in Dubai Marina vary significantly depending on the number of rooms, area, tower, view, and floor, so relying on a single figure is not sufficient to estimate the cost of buying an apartment in the area.

Data from sales transactions registered with the Dubai Land Department between January and August 2026 indicate that the median sale price in Dubai Marina was around 2.25 million AED, while the median price per square foot was about 2,286 AED.

Below is a more detailed look at the price levels and what may explain the differences between them.

How much are apartment prices in Dubai Marina 2026?

The cost of purchase varies greatly when moving from studios to larger family apartments. According to aggregated DLD transaction data for the period from January to August 2026, price indicators were as follows:

These figures represent median prices of registered transactions and are not fixed prices or listing prices. Differences in the characteristics of units sold during the period can also affect the indicators, so each apartment should be compared to similar units.

To compare these levels with other areas, you can check the Dubai apartment prices guide.

Apartment prices in Dubai Marina by number of rooms

The number of bedrooms is one of the most prominent factors helping buyers set an initial budget.

Studio prices in Dubai Marina

The median price for studios was around 825 thousand AED during the data period. However, the actual price may be higher or lower depending on area, tower, view, and unit age.

One-bedroom apartment prices

The median price of one-bedroom apartments was about 1.62 million AED, which was the category with the highest number of transactions in the dataset totaling 636 sales.

Two-bedroom apartment prices

The median price for two-bedroom apartments reached approximately 3.10 million AED, with a median price per square foot close to 2,186 AED.

Prices for apartments with 3 or more rooms

The median price for three-bedroom apartments was around 5.19 million AED, rising to about 7.53 million AED for four-bedroom apartments. Price differences within these categories increase due to variations in area, tower level, views, and specifications.

What is the average apartment price in Dubai Marina?

The median price of properties sold was around 2.25 million AED based on transactions from January to August 2026, but price by number of rooms gives buyers a more accurate indicator than the general average.

What is the price per square foot in Dubai Marina?

The median price per square foot was about 2,286 AED in January–August 2026 transaction data.

However, this indicator also varies depending on the data calculation method and time period. Looking at other registered transactions in 2026 up to August, an annual median of about 1,953 AED per square foot appears after excluding outliers, illustrating the importance of specifying period and methodology when comparing market indicators.

Therefore, the price per square foot is a comparison tool, not a fixed price for all apartments in the area.

Is the price per square foot the same in all Dubai Marina towers?

No, it can vary significantly depending on the tower, view, floor, area, finishes, and unit condition.

What factors determine apartment prices in Dubai Marina?

Two apartments close in the number of rooms and area may have a large price gap. This relates to factors including views of the marina or sea, tower location, floor height, building age, quality of finishes and amenities, unit size and internal layout, and property condition.

Pricing also differs between ready units and those under construction; the latter are influenced by the developer, project stage, payment plan, and new project specifications.

This does not mean that a new project or sea view adds a fixed premium to the price, so each unit should be evaluated and compared with similar deals.

Have property prices changed in Dubai Marina during 2026?

Monthly DLD data shows fluctuations during 2026. The median price per square foot for all registered properties was 1,919 AED in January, compared to 2,130 AED in August 2026.

Comparing 2026 until August with the full year 2025 requires caution due to differences in period and deal mixes; partial annual data shows a median close to 1,953 AED/sq.ft. in 2026 versus 2,220 AED in 2025.

Therefore, it is better for buyers to rely on recent transactions of units similar to the targeted property rather than reading market trends from a single average.

Are Dubai Marina prices high compared to other Dubai areas?

Dubai Marina differs from many internal residential communities due to its tower-based development, coastal location, and views, which also cause price levels to vary within it according to property type.

Is buying an apartment in Dubai Marina suitable for investment?

Investment should not be evaluated based on purchase price alone. An investor needs to compare apartment cost against expected rent, service fees, costs, occupancy rate, and resale potential.

Secondary market data for ready apartments over the last 12 months ending August 2026 show an average sale price of about 3.114 million AED and an average 2,498 AED per square foot, with an estimated gross rental yield around 5.5%.

Therefore, a lower-priced unit may be more suitable for investment than a more expensive one if the relationship between purchase price and rental income is better.
