Maryam Island

Maryam Island is Sharjah's answer to the waterfront master communities of its neighbors, a 1.7 million-square-meter island in the Al Khan district where luxury apartments, hotels, a souq and a marina are arranged around a private beach and a 900-meter promenade. Developed by Eagle Hills, it offers a polished, resort-style lifestyle that is rare in the emirate, with direct beach access and sunset views just steps from the front door. Daily life here is built around the water. Residents walk the promenade to waterfront restaurants, browse the souq, work out in hotel-grade fitness clubs and unwind at the spa, while the 240-berth marina and landscaped gardens add to the leisure draw. As in the rest of Sharjah, the island is alcohol-free, so evenings revolve around the promenade, shisha cafes and hotel lounges rather than a bar scene. For investors, Maryam Island combines a recognizable developer brand with 100-year usufruct ownership for all nationalities and yields around 6% on flagship residences. Entry prices begin near AED 415,000 for studios, though the waterfront premium means yields are tighter than inland Sharjah and future capital growth leans on the continued absorption of new island handovers.
