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.
