The Island
Al Siniya is the long, low island that shelters the Khor Al Beida lagoon off Umm Al Quwain: white beaches, mangroves, seagrass and some of the oldest archaeology in the Gulf. In July 2024 Umm Al Quwain Properties and Sobha Realty signed a partnership to develop it, Sobha's first project outside Dubai.
Sales opened in the third quarter of 2024: Sobha reported 2,140 homes sold in five months. Today sixteen apartment buildings and two villa collections are released, with handovers announced from December 2027 to June 2030.
Bridge length, travel time and releases: Sobha Realty pages and WAM, October 2026 (an earlier press report gave about 1.2 km for the bridge). Sales figure: Sobha, January 2025. Island size and open space are published differently by different sources (from 8 to about 23 million sq ft of land, 46% to over 60% open space), so we do not quote one.
The Masterplan
Sobha's plan wraps the residences around the island's lagoons: apartments along the western beach and around the marina, villas on the arms, clubhouses and a golf course in the middle, resorts on the southern islets. Hover a zone to find it.

Sobha marks Pristine and Capeside as sold out, and first buyers resell in every building. A resale shows what has been paid, the balance of the plan and the developer’s transfer terms: we set these out unit by unit.
* Prices, sizes and handover dates as shown by Sobha Realty for each building on 25 October 2026, "subject to availability"; villa built-up areas from Property Finder (Sobha gives them on request). Property Finder shows some handovers a quarter or more later than Sobha (for example Coraline Q4 2028, Pearlside September 2030, Palm Grove Q4 2028). Anantara: WAM and Minor Hotels, October 2026. No construction percentage is published for any building; dredging of the lagoons was about 60% done in September 2025 (Gulf Cobla).

Nature & Heritage
Siniya is a Key Biodiversity Area, home to one of the world's largest colonies of Socotra cormorants, with mangroves and seagrass where green turtles and dugongs feed. It is also one of the richest archaeological sites of the Gulf.
Sources: BirdLife International (February 2026); The National (monastery, November 2022; pearling town, March 2023); UAQ Department of Tourism and Archaeology. Siniya is not a formally declared protected area; Sobha states that it preserves the mangroves.
Owners · Siniya Island
Bought off-plan at Siniya and want to resell before handover, prepare the handover itself, or rent the home out afterwards? The owners’ desk takes it from your plan to your income, for owners in the UAE or abroad. Fees agreed in writing first.
A valuation against the current Sobha price list and the resales asked in your building, then marketing to buyers in Europe, India and the Gulf. The transfer follows the developer’s terms.
When Sobha calls your unit for handover: an independent snagging inspection with a photo report, the final payment schedule checked, utilities and title registration in Umm Al Quwain.
Long-term tenants or holiday lets once the building is complete, with furnishing, management and a statement you can read from abroad. Siniya has no rental history yet: we price on comparable waterfront homes nearby.

The Market · October 2026
Umm Al Quwain is the newest freehold story of the northern emirates, priced below Dubai and next to Ras Al Khaimah, where the Wynn resort on Al Marjan Island is announced for 2027 and 85% of 2025 sales were off-plan. No Siniya home is complete yet, so there is no rent or resale history to quote: we share the latest resale asking prices and nearby waterfront rents, so you can judge a specific unit.
Sources: The National (13 July 2025, Property Finder data; Ras Al Khaimah, 3 August 2026); Sobha Realty (January 2025). Wynn Al Marjan opening: September 2027 per Gulf News (August 2026), early 2027 per The National. Figures are indicative and exclude fees. No yield or capital growth is guaranteed; the developer’s reported price rises since launch are its own claims. USD at the official peg of 1 USD = 3.6725 AED.

Frequently Asked
Off the coast of Umm Al Quwain, in the northern UAE: Al Siniya is the natural island that shelters the Khor Al Beida lagoon, joined to the mainland by a 1.7 km bridge. Sobha gives about 10 minutes to Al Marjan Island, 30 to Sharjah and 50 to Dubai.
Sobha Realty, in partnership with Umm Al Quwain Properties. The agreement was signed in July 2024 in the presence of the Crown Prince of Umm Al Quwain; it is Sobha's first project outside Dubai. Sobha builds with its own in-house construction teams.
Sixteen apartment buildings (Beach Residences and Marina Residences), one to three bedrooms and duplexes, from about AED 1.36M; Palm Grove four-bedroom villas from AED 11.53M; Coral Beach five- and six-bedroom villas from AED 18.07M – 27.56M; and Anantara branded residences, price on request. Prices are Sobha’s, October 2026. See every building.
Building by building, from December 2027 (Selene, Delphine, Palm Grove Villas) to June 2030 (Tranquil, Capeside), according to Sobha. Some portals show later dates, and no construction percentage is published per building, so we send the latest status for the unit you look at.
Sobha does not publish its plans. On Property Finder most collections show 10% on booking, 50% during construction and 40% on handover; Capeside shows 20/40/40. The plan of a given unit is confirmed in writing with its price. Try the calculator.
Sobha sells Siniya to buyers of all nationalities. Under Umm Al Quwain's 2021 ownership law, foreigners may own property in designated investment zones; we have not found a published notice listing Siniya by name, so the exact tenure (freehold or long lease) should be confirmed in your sale agreement and on the title, registered with the Umm Al Quwain Department of Land and Property.
The federal rules (ICP) grant a Golden Visa to investors holding UAE property worth at least AED 2 million, off-plan included when bought from an approved developer. Whether a given unit qualifies is decided by the authorities when you apply; we can share the current checklist, without promising eligibility.
The Umm Al Quwain registration fee, reported at 2% of the price (4% in Dubai), plus any developer administration fee and, later, service charges, which Sobha has not published yet. The exact amounts for a unit come with its price list.
Yes. Sobha marks Pristine and Capeside as sold out, and first buyers resell units in every building. A resale shows the price, what has been paid, the balance of the plan and the developer’s transfer terms; we set these out per unit. Get the resale options.
Yes: the Anantara Siniya Island Resort, with 125 keys and 125 Anantara-branded residences, operated by Minor Hotels. The foundation stone was laid in October 2026 and the opening is announced for 2030. A second resort appears on the masterplan.
Sobha gives about ten minutes to Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, where the Wynn Al Marjan resort is announced to open in 2027 (September 2027 according to Gulf News, August 2026). No study measures its effect on Umm Al Quwain prices yet.
No one can say yet, and no yield is guaranteed: no Siniya home is complete, so there is no rent history. We estimate rents for a specific unit from comparable waterfront homes in Umm Al Quwain and Ras Al Khaimah, before service charges, vacancy and fees.
Sobha has signed an agreement with the National Bank of Umm Al Qaiwain (NBQ) for home loans on its units, including off-plan, at Siniya Island. Terms depend on the bank and on your profile.
No. siniya-island.info is an independent information and marketing website. It publishes Sobha’s figures with their date and source, and passes requests to a licensed real estate agent.
