About La Mer
La Mer is to be found in Jumeirah 1 where it was built upon 13.4 million square feet of existing and reclaimed land.
Developed by Sheikh Mohammed's private development company, Meraas, La Mer has created almost 2.5 kilometres of new beaches and shopping, dining and entertainment areas. It is a variation on the successful theme pioneered by Meraas at its The Beach development alongside The Walk at JBR.
The first phase of La Mer opened on 15 October 2017. It comprises La Mer North and La Mer South with over 130 shops, cafés, restaurants, and beach activities.
The La Mer design is apparently inspired by ‘the way the sea embraces driftwood, timber, rusted metal, barrels and other items, brought by the tide to shore’, and this is what inspires the architecture and public spaces. It is an attempt to contribute to Dubai Tourism Vision 2020 by diversifying what Dubai has to offer.
The second phase of La Mer opened in 2018.
