Two projects.One decision.

Project guide

Ellington's Dubai Islands neighbourhood brings apartments, penthouses and landscaped routes towards the beach into one coastal setting.

Meriva is designed as a neighbourhood of buildings rather than a single beachfront tower. Ellington's brochure describes five residential buildings, with gardens and waterways connecting the shared spaces towards the coast. That arrangement gives the project much of its character: the position of a home within the neighbourhood matters alongside its bedroom count.

Project guide

Four ORA villa collections in Ghantoot: how the floor arrangements, waterfront positions and different area definitions change a household’s shortlist.

Y Views is a villa collection within BAYN in Ghantoot, not a synonym for every home in the wider masterplan. Its Seaward, Ever Views, Sunray and Sunward types differ in more than size. Some put the main living space above the garden bedrooms; another brings all five principal bedrooms onto the same living level. Those arrangements can change family routines more than a larger headline area does.

Homes and specification

A neighbourhood with rooms beyond the apartment

Ellington's brochure sets out a fitness pavilion, yoga and Pilates spaces, an indoor lap pool, children's indoor and outdoor play, a cinema and games rooms. The Jazz Club brings dining and library settings into the shared programme. Together, these describe more than a pool beside a lobby: there are separate places for exercise, quiet time and gatherings.

Four villa types are not the whole BAYN catalogue

ORA’s current property catalogue groups villas, townhouses and plot propositions. The Y Views brochure gives separate schedules for Seaward, Ever Views, Sunray and Sunward. Comparing these four types means comparing this particular collection—not applying its room counts or areas to a townhouse elsewhere in BAYN.
