Sobha Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain

Sobha Siniya Island at a glance

One bridge from the UAQ mainland: location and the emirate's freehold rules

Siniya Island lies off the Umm Al Quwain coast. The island is reached by a road bridge: Khaleej Times put it at about 1.2 km in November 2024, while Sobha's Beach Residences page gives 1.7 km. Sobha quotes about 10 minutes to Marjan Island, 30 minutes to Sharjah and 50 minutes to Dubai.

The island keeps mangroves, salt marshes and archaeological sites, among them a sixth century monastery (Arabian Business, 18 July 2024).

Because the island is in Umm Al Quwain, these sales are not registered in Dubai and Dubai sales data does not cover them. The emirate's Resolution No. 4 of 2021 lets foreigners, companies partly owned by foreigners, free zone companies and offshore companies own freehold property in zones that a separate resolution of the Ruler defines (Sharjah24, 23 September 2021). NAHY confirms with Sobha which Umm Al Quwain authority your sale agreement names before you sign.

Beach, marina and villa collections as Sobha labelled them on 9 November 2026

Sobha sells the island collection by collection. This is how its own pages showed them when NAHY read them on 9 November 2026. Sobha publishes no unit counts; collections not marked sold out show a price range with the note "subject to availability".

Of the 18 collections, Sobha marked five as sold out. The other 13 show a price range but no unit count, so NAHY treats each one as unconfirmed until Sobha answers.

Sold-out labels and priced collections: how NAHY works a Siniya enquiry

Each buyer's route starts from the table:

1. The earliest priced handover. Coraline (March 2028), then Aquamarine and Coral Beach Villas (both June 2028) are the earliest collections with a price shown. NAHY asks Sobha what it can offer and reads the date in your sale agreement.
2. A sold-out collection. Delphine, Selene, Pristine, Capeside and Palm Grove are closed on Sobha's side, so the way in is an earlier buyer's contract. NAHY checks the amount the seller has paid, Sobha's consent to the transfer and the Umm Al Quwain registration before you pay anything.
3. Furnished marina homes. Sobha describes Bayside Marina Residences as fully furnished, with handover planned for September 2029.
4. A villa. Sobha gives Coral Beach Villas private gardens, pools and boardwalk access.

Prices, payment plans and floor plans differ by collection. NAHY sends them on WhatsApp once Sobha confirms a unit.

Golf course, yacht club and an air taxi pad in Sobha's plan

Most of the island is still being built, so the amenities below are Sobha's plan, not finished places. Khaleej Times reported in November 2024 that dredging had started, the link bridge was almost complete and building works were expected to start in the second quarter of 2025.

• An 18 hole golf course, a yacht club with boat mooring and a boardwalk (Sobha, read 9 November 2026)
• A lagoon beachfront, an ecological park and a helicopter and air taxi landing pad
• Schools, shopping malls, beaches and two resorts (Khaleej Times, 6 November 2024)

About 40% of the phase one land is for real estate and the rest is green space (Gulf News, 25 October 2024).

From the July 2024 signing to handovers planned for 2027 to 2030

Sobha Realty announced the Siniya development in July 2024, with managing director Francis Alfred presenting it. PNC Menon, founder of Sobha Group, and Sheikh Mansour bin Ibrahim Al Mualla of Umm Al Quwain Properties signed the agreement, witnessed by the Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain, Sheikh Rashid bin Saud bin Rashid Al Mualla.

The dates have moved since. Arabian Business reported in July 2024 that the first phase was set for delivery by 2025; by November 2024 Sobha was targeting December 2027 for phase one (Khaleej Times and Gulf News). Sobha's collection pages now plan the first handovers for December 2027 and the last listed ones for June 2030.

The first launch offered 200 apartments and 200 villas (Khaleej Times, 6 November 2024).
