As Dubai continues to expand its horizons under the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan, new waterfront districts are redefining what luxury living means in the city. Among these, Dubai Islands stands out as one of the emirate’s most ambitious coastal masterplans - a collection of interconnected islands that blend residential communities with beaches, marinas, retail promenades, and lifestyle attractions.

At the heart of this vision lies Ellington Cove, a boutique beachfront development by Ellington Properties. Known for their design-led approach and wellness-inspired communities, Ellington brings its signature touch to Dubai Islands with two phases: Cove I and Cove II. Offering studios, apartments, deluxe residences, and penthouses, Ellington Cove is designed for those who value both lifestyle and long-term investment.
