Marasi Bay Island is Omniyat’s reclaimed waterfront lifestyle chapter inside the wider Marasi Bay destination on the Burj Khalifa District / Business Bay waterfront. Official materials market a beach-club experience for this district, plus marina and park amenities — not a published multi-unit apartment price list. [1] [2]
This page is buyer research, independent of Omniyat sales. [1] Official news and dual press agree on the June 2025 island acquisition and the pavilion / Sunset Park sizes; Property Finder mainly dual-supports place, freehold chip and an empty commercial table. [2] [5] [3] Homes sit under separate names such as VELA Viento, VELA and The Lana Residences. [1] After you pick one of those, open the booking form and sale contract and confirm the printed product string matches. Our process: Method.

Who it’s for
Buyers who want to understand Omniyat’s Marasi Bay waterfront lifestyle layer before shortlisting a named residential product (or comparing amenity access claims), and who will wait for written unit, access and registration proof before booking. [1] [2]
Who it’s not for
Anyone treating portal island price chips as a locked price list [3] [1], buyers who need a single dual-locked keys-and-payment apartment package under the island brand alone [1] [3], or anyone ready to sign a form that only says “Marasi Bay” without naming the residence product they chose [1].
Facts we can stand behind
- Developer — Omniyat / Omniyat Group (high) [1] [3] [2]
- Public product label — Marasi Bay Island (high) [1] [2]
- Portal label — Marasi Bay Island / marasi-bay (high) [3]
- What it is — lifestyle / amenity island chapter inside Marasi Bay (official beach-club marketing claim, marina, parks, pavilion) — not dual-locked multi-unit apartment stock (high — official) [1] [2]
- Where — Burj Khalifa District / Business Bay waterfront (high) [1] [3] [4]
- Acquisition / public launch stamp — June 2025 Omniyat acquisition announcement (high) [2] [5]
- Signature Pavilion — about 10,000 sqft over-water retail and events (high) [2] [5]
- Sunset Park — about 30,000 sqft private floating green space framed for Omniyat residents (high) [2] [5]
- Sibling homes (separate products) — VELA 38, VELA Viento 95, The Lana Residences 39 on the official Marasi Bay map (high) [1]
- Ownership chip (portal) — freehold on Property Finder (med — confirm on any residential SPA) [3]
- Payment plan for the island card — none published (PF FAQ empty; official silent) (high for gap) [3] [1]
- Keys year for the island chapter — not dual-locked as a multi-unit product (high for gap) [1] [3]
Use high rows to understand the place. If you are buying a home, shortlist a named residential product, not the island amenity brand alone.
Product shape
Picture a reclaimed island and south-bay amenity belt next to Omniyat’s hotel, office and residential towers — beach-club marketing, marina access and green space — rather than a repeated-layout tower with a public unit ladder. [1] [2] [4]
What dual sources support for the island chapter:
- Beach club marketing claim for the Burj Khalifa District waterfront (Omniyat’s own framing, not an independent ranking) [1] [2]
- Marasi Bay Marina operated by Omniyat, with yacht-club and marina access language dual-supported in official news and press [2] [5]
- Signature Pavilion — about 10,000 sqft floating retail and events (high dual) [2] [5] [6]
- Sunset Park — about 30,000 sqft private floating green space framed for Omniyat residents (high dual) [2] [5]
- South promenade lifestyle elements in official and Propsearch summaries — confirm which features attach to your building before you book [2] [4]
Finer amenity marketing details still need to match the written package for your unit.
What is not dual-locked as island apartment stock: Property Finder’s project card is useful for place and freehold chip, but its unit table still says coming soon and the FAQ admits no payment plan. [3] Portal body text that invents a full residential size-and-price ladder for the island is not dual-locked against Omniyat official materials. We do not treat those portal figures as inventory fact.
Do not collapse Marasi Bay labels. The official destination map lists VELA (about 38 homes), VELA Viento (95 homes), The Lana Residences (39), The Lana hotel and ENARA commercial as distinct pieces around the same water. [1] Propsearch describes island amenities as shared with residents of those neighbouring Omniyat buildings. [4] Decide which residence product you want, then make sure the booking form and sale contract already carry that exact name — not a vague “Marasi Bay” line.
Stills on this page are self-hosted Omniyat and Propsearch marketing art for place identity — not proof of a unit SPA.
Timing, payment and commercial gaps
Island chapter timing — acquisition locked; keys year not dual-locked for multi-unit stock.
- Omniyat official news: island acquisition announced June 2025, framed as the next lifestyle chapter of Marasi Bay [2]
- Dual press (Gulf News, MECN): same June 2025 acquisition and amenity package [5] [6]
- Property Finder key-info block at capture: location and freehold — no delivery date in the header fields we captured [3]
- Propsearch: construction photo series through January 2026 for the island works — progress evidence, not a keys calendar [4]
There is no dual-locked public keys year for “Marasi Bay Island apartments” because official materials do not sell the island as a multi-unit residential product with a printed handover stamp. [1] [2] If you buy a home next door, use that named sibling product’s current sale-contract keys date — do not borrow a neighbour’s marketing stamp for the island brand alone.
Payment: Property Finder’s FAQ states no payment plan details are available for Marasi Bay Island. [3] Omniyat’s destination and island pages do not print a residential instalment schedule for the island chapter alone. [1] Map cash only from a developer-issued schedule on a named residence SPA.
Price framing: Official pages stay silent on an island apartment open price. [1] Treat any portal commercial “from” chips on this card as unconfirmed until a dated unit sheet and sale contract name a real product and unit. [3]
Place and builder context
Developer: Omniyat. June 2025 official news credits Omniyat with acquiring the island and operating the marina lifestyle layer. [2] Propsearch still labels Dubai Holding Real Estate as developer and MAR Contracting as contractor on the area guide — that may reflect reclamation / earlier delivery context, not the buyer-facing Omniyat brand alone. [4] Read the contracting company on any future reservation pack carefully.
Area: Business Bay on Omniyat’s Marasi Bay waterfront, marketed with Burj Khalifa District framing. [1] [3] Title exhibits — not brochure drive-time chips — decide plot access and marina rights.

Risks and open questions
- Product confusion — island lifestyle brand vs named residential towers; a form that only says “Marasi Bay” is not enough. [1] [3]
- Portal commercial fields not dual-locked — Property Finder’s unit table is “coming soon” and invents residential size/price text that is not on Omniyat official pages. [3] [1]
- No dual-locked keys or payment plan for the island chapter as apartment stock. [3] [1]
- Seller / SPV labels — Omniyat marketing vs Propsearch Dubai Holding / MAR Contracting — confirm the legal seller. [4] [2]
- Amenity access rights — beach-club, marina and Sunset Park “resident” claims need written scope (which buildings, which fees). [2] [4]
- Service charges and exit path — ask for written fee estimates and recent comparable sales for the named residence product you shortlist; this page does not forecast yield.
Marketing scarcity without a dated inventory sheet is talk, not evidence.
Checks before any deposit
- Shortlist a named Marasi Bay residence first (VELA Viento, VELA or The Lana Residences) if you want island-side lifestyle access. Next, open the reservation pack: the product string, unit ID and bedroom count should already describe that home. You check Omniyat’s form — you do not author it. [1]
- Before any booking deposit, confirm DLD registration and escrow for that named residence product, not for a vague island brand.
- Ask sales for a dated unit sheet and plans for that residence only; leave spoken “from” talk and unconfirmed island-card chips aside. [3]
- Rebuild cash from the instalment dates printed on the sale contract — the island project card publishes no plan. [3]
- Secure written rights for beach club, marina and Sunset Park attached to your building and unit. [2]
- Match the legal seller if Omniyat, Dubai Holding, SPV or other names appear. [4]
- Reject packs that swap VELA, VELA Viento or The Lana Residences. [1]
- Complete the site due diligence steps before any transfer.
Bottom line
Bottom line: Omniyat’s official Marasi Bay destination and June 2025 acquisition news present Marasi Bay Island as a waterfront lifestyle chapter — beach-club marketing language, marina framing, Signature Pavilion (~10,000 sqft) and Sunset Park (~30,000 sqft) — inside Business Bay / Burj Khalifa District. [1] [2] Property Finder dual-supports developer, place and freehold chip; its residential commercial fields are not dual-locked against official text. [3] Residential buyers should shortlist named siblings (VELA, VELA Viento, The Lana Residences) and only move money after DLD registration, escrow and SPA checks on that product. This site is independent research, not Omniyat disclosure.
FAQ
Who is behind Marasi Bay Island?
Omniyat markets and announced the June 2025 acquisition of Marasi Bay Island as part of its Marasi Bay destination. [2] [3] Propsearch also prints Dubai Holding Real Estate and MAR Contracting on the area guide — compare the contracting company on any reservation pack with the brochure brand. [4]
Where is Marasi Bay Island?
On the Business Bay / Burj Khalifa District waterfront inside Omniyat’s Marasi Bay destination — a reclaimed island chapter next to The Lana, ENARA and the VELA towers, not a Palm address. [1] [3] [4]
Can I buy an apartment “in Marasi Bay Island”?
Official materials present the island as a lifestyle and amenity chapter, not a dual-locked multi-unit apartment ladder. [1] [2] Property Finder’s unit table still says coming soon. [3] Residential homes are presented as separate named products such as VELA, VELA Viento and The Lana Residences — shortlist those by name. [1]
How should I read portal price chips on this card?
Portal body text that prints residential “from” figures for the island is not dual-locked on Omniyat official pages. [3] [1] Treat them as unconfirmed until a dated unit sheet and sale contract name a real product and unit.
What amenities are dual-supported?
Official news and dual press support beach-club marketing language for the district, Marasi Bay Marina framing, a roughly 10,000 sqft Signature Pavilion, a roughly 30,000 sqft Sunset Park for Omniyat residents, and south-promenade lifestyle elements. [2] [5] [4] Access rights still need to be checked on the form for your building.
Is Marasi Bay Island the same as VELA Viento?
No. VELA Viento is a separate residential product (officially 95 homes) on the same waterfront. [1] Marasi Bay Island is the lifestyle layer beside those towers. Shortlist each name on its own row, and make sure the booking form prints the residence you actually want. [2]
