Canalside Marina Residences by Sobha Realty

Canalside Marina Residences: Homes Starting from AED 1.33 Million

Sobha Canalside Marina Residences – located on Shina Island – is one of the advanced coastal residential projects developed by Sobha Realty in Umm Al Quwain. The project reflects a comprehensive urban vision that redefines modern coastal living in the UAE.

Situated along a water channel directly connected to the Arabian Gulf, the project offers a serene, natural island environment. It combines rare privacy with easy access, creating a unique lifestyle that merges modern design with nature.

Sobha Canalside Marina Residences is not just a conventional residential complex. It embodies a complete coastal lifestyle, integrating contemporary architecture with the surrounding natural elements to emphasize visual openness, direct water access, and seamless integration with the marina and waterfront promenade.

Urban Planning and Design Philosophy

Canalside Marina Residences follows a “flowing” urban concept, where the water channel acts as the visual and functional centerpiece. It connects all residential units directly to the marina, yacht club, and the open sea. This water extension not only adds aesthetic value but also enhances daily life by creating a calm, balanced environment with uninterrupted views of the sea.

Residential buildings align along the canal with pedestrian walkways, green spaces, and recreational areas, ensuring smooth transitions between living, leisure, and services without breaking the visual or functional flow.

Architectural Design and Quality

The apartments at Sobha Canalside Marina Residences reflect Sobha Realty’s signature philosophy of complete control over the development process (Backward Integration). The company manages every stage, from design to handover, ensuring the highest standards of precision and quality.

Units feature flexible layouts and thoughtfully designed open spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow abundant natural light and direct sea views. High-quality modern finishes with meticulous attention to detail in flooring, ceilings, and interiors provide a luxurious environment that balances aesthetics and functionality.
