UAE developer Arada and Minor Hotels have officially launched off-plan sales for Anantara Sharjah Residences, a new destination for luxury seaside living in the northern emirate.

Each of the 128 branded residences is housed within the grounds of the Anantara Sharjah Resort, a five-star hotel complex that is set to represent the ultimate in high-end beachfront hospitality.

Construction of the Anantara Sharjah Resort and Anantara Sharjah Residences is set to begin next year and will be completed by late 2027.

Owned and developed by Arada and operated by Minor Hotels, the Anantara Sharjah Residences and Anantara Sharjah Resort will feature striking architecture including a signature gateway that is designed to show the path of the sun.

The complex is located on the north-eastern edge of Al Heerah Beach, a popular tourist destination in its own right with 3.5km of beachfront containing jogging and cycling tracks and a wide variety of dining options.

Owners at Anantara Sharjah Residences will be able to enjoy high-quality amenities and services including the stunning beachfront and pier, landscaped pools and water features, and outdoor café.

They will also be able to benefit from the facilities on offer at the adjoining 110-key Anantara Sharjah Resort, which will include an expansive infinity pool, five distinctive restaurants including the brand’s signature Mekong restaurant, an Anantara Spa with world-class male and female wellness amenities, a state-of-the-art gym, a kids club, and a 400 square-metre meeting and events space.

Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal, Vice Chairman of Arada, said: “Anantara is one of the most distinguished luxury hotel brands in the world and it is a privilege to bring this brand to Sharjah for the first time.

“Our partnership with Minor Hotels will provide buyers with the quality and delivery associated with Arada, combined with the harmony, culture, heritage and services they have come to expect from the Anantara brand.”

Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and Group CEO of parent company Minor International, said: “The expansion of the Anantara brand into Sharjah is an opportunity to deliver our unmatched lifestyle offerings to a new audience.

“We look forward to working with Arada to bring this new resort and residences development to market and ensuring its leadership position as one of Sharjah’s finest addresses.”

Ranging from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom penthouses, each fully furnished residence is marked by high-end design, signature touches and finishes in line with the Anantara brand.

Design features include high-quality flooring, stylish work surfaces, premium white goods, generous living spaces and floor-to-ceiling windows, which lead to balconies furnished with impressive views. The duplex penthouses incorporate generous rooftop spaces and private swimming pools, offering panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf, said Rajakarier.

Owners may also choose to adopt the Anantara rental management scheme, which enables them to maximise return on investment by allowing the unit to be leased out using Anantara’s global sales network when they are not resident, he noted.

Anantara Sharjah Residences will be Anantara’s second branded residences project in the country, and marks Arada’s sixth project in the UAE and its fourth in Sharjah, following Aljada, Masaar and Nasma Residences. – TradeArabia News Service
