FAQ
Where is La Mer?

The community is located in the northern part of the city and stretches along the Gulf Coast. It comprises two peninsulas located between the Pearl Jumeirah and Jumeirah Bay neighbourhoods, connected by La Mer Beach. Visitors come here for family vacations, water sports and walks along the shore. Modern design and minimalism are combined with conceptual graffiti and murals. The location's name is not random. It refers to the coastal French towns. This part of Dubai is imbued with such an atmosphere.
