What is La Mer?
La Mer is the latest Meraas project, a world-class beachfront development has opened its first phase to the public yesterday. Stretching out into the ocean in the Jumeirah 1 neighbourhood, the new destination promises to be an inspiring environment, while setting a new global benchmark for beachfront developments with its uninterrupted views of the Arabian Gulf and iconic city skyline.
Location
Located between Pearl Jumeira and Jumeira Bay, the 13.4 million square foot space is spread over three areas – La Mer South, La Mer North and The Wharf.
The area is surrounded by almost 2.5 kilometres of relaxing sandy beaches and situated a stone’s throw away from points of interest such as the Etihad Museum and the Dubai Water Canal, the shopping, dining and entertainment areas at La Mer will open to the public in two phases
How does it look?
La Mer takes its inspiration from the way the sea embraces driftwood, timber, rusted metal, barrels and other items, brought by the tide to shore, many of which form the main elements of the built-up environment.
This theme is visible through the architecture and public spaces, creating a welcoming and carefree place where people can feel at ease and celebrate life from the moment they set foot in the destination.
What is open?
The first phase is now open which is comprised of La Mer North and La Mer South. Those will be over 130 hundred shops, cafés, restaurants, and beach activities that act as a meeting point for people to enjoy a great time.
The existing beaches have been redeveloped to include showers, toilets with baby changing and disabled access, free Wi-Fi, information hubs, mobile charging, prayer rooms, four children’s playground areas and over 1,000 parking spaces are among the other amenities.
