Canalside by Sobha: Boutique Island Living
with Marina Views
Location
Set on the edge of Siniya Island’s marina in Umm Al Quwain, Canalside offers views across calm waterways, moored yachts, and coastal greenery. The island is home to white-sand beaches, protected mangroves, and native wildlife including flamingos and sea turtles — creating a rare ecological backdrop. Despite the natural calm, the location remains connected: just 10 minutes from Marjan Island and under an hour from Dubai and Sharjah via a scenic 1.7 km bridge.
Property Types
A Curated Collection of Island Residences
Canalside by Sobha features an exclusive range of 1–3 bedroom apartments designed for marina-side living. With elegant façades and thoughtfully planned layouts, each residence embraces indoor-outdoor harmony — blending spacious interiors with expansive terraces and open views. Branded by Sobha and crafted to high specifications, these homes offer refined living in a low-density island community.
Features
Soothing architecture, framed marina views, and refined interiors define life at Canalside. Residences are finished in neutral palettes with premium textures, creating a calm and contemporary backdrop. The development is surrounded by landscaped paths, water promenades, and curated retail — with wellness, leisure, and lifestyle amenities seamlessly integrated into the community design.
Investment Potential
Canalside by Sobha offers a compelling opportunity in one of the UAE’s most promising emerging destinations. Its exclusive island location, limited inventory, and branded pedigree create strong potential for capital appreciation and holiday-home demand. With prices starting from AED 1.34 million and a flexible 60/40 payment plan, the project is well-positioned for both lifestyle buyers and long-term investors seeking value in a low-supply waterfront market.

Location & Investment Highlights
Prime Location
Canalside sits on Sobha Siniya Island — a new coastal enclave in Umm Al Quwain, linked to the mainland by a 1.7 km bridge. It’s 10 minutes from Marjan Island and 30–50 minutes from Sharjah and Dubai. Surrounded by beaches, mangroves, and native wildlife, the site combines natural seclusion with access to yacht mooring, beach clubs, and a marina — ideal for second homes, upscale tourism, or year-round living.
Strong Investment Potential
Canalside offers entry from AED 1.34 million with a 60/40 payment plan — a strategic option for early buyers on Siniya Island. Limited branded supply, direct marina views, and upcoming infrastructure (helipad, yacht club, golf course) enhance its value proposition. As one of the island’s first residential launches, the project benefits from timing, location, and Sobha’s development track record.
Lifestyle & Amenities
Canalside is built around a vibrant marina promenade — with bakeries, cafés, and waterfront dining. The neighborhood includes green parks, a yacht club with mooring, wellness zones, and spaces for water activities. Local retail and future features like an 18-hole golf course expand the day-to-day offering, balancing nature, leisure, and convenience in one walkable setting.
Family-Oriented Environment
Sobha Siniya Island is thoughtfully designed to support families seeking peace, nature, and connectivity. Spacious 1–3 bedroom residences provide room to grow, while nearby schools, healthcare facilities, and green open areas enhance everyday convenience. The island’s pedestrian-friendly layout includes walking trails and safe zones for children.
Golden Visa Eligibility
Purchasing property at Canalside Marina Residences opens the door to long-term residency in the UAE. Buyers investing AED 2 million or more may apply for the 10-year Golden Visa, which can include their spouse, children, and domestic staff.
Completion & Long-Term Value
Ocean Bay is set for handover in Q4 2028. As one of the first residential projects on Central Island, it offers a rare opportunity to enter a master-planned waterfront district early — with long-term upside in both value and lifestyle appeal.
