Ajmal Makan — Al Hamriya

Project general facts

Verde Villas is a collection of four-bedroom garden villas by Ajmal Makan on Al Thuraya Island, part of the developer's Sharjah Waterfront City master development. Positioned on the garden side of the island, in the second row behind the beachfront homes, the villas are set among landscaped green spaces and calm lakes, with the island beach within easy reach. The concept pairs contemporary architecture with the natural setting, offering spacious layouts on private plots designed for families seeking a quieter, nature-focused island lifestyle.

Residents have access to the shared facilities of Al Thuraya Island. Waterfront leisure centres on an exclusive beach with a private beach lounge and water activities, alongside a marina with a floating platform and berthing facilities. Wellness and fitness are covered by a gym, a spa and an infinity pool, while parks, gardens and cycling tracks run through the community. Families benefit from kids' playgrounds, BBQ areas and pet-friendly facilities, and everyday convenience is supported by a retail area, restaurants, a multifunctional hall and a business centre.

Interiors across Al Thuraya Island are designed by XBD Collective, the studio that also refined the island masterplan. The design language follows an earthy palette of travertine, sandy beige and soft greys, accented with blue and turquoise tones that echo the surrounding water. Living areas open onto the garden through full-height glazing, and kitchens are fitted with stone-effect worktops alongside a separate dining space. Marble is used on countertops, feature walls and bathrooms, while eco-conscious choices include antimicrobial interior paints and energy-efficient lighting.

Location description and benefits

Sharjah Waterfront City is a large master-planned destination in Al Hamriyah, on the northern coast of Sharjah, made up of a cluster of islands set just off the shoreline. Al Thuraya Island is one of its residential islands, laid out around an exclusive beach, calm lakes and extensive landscaped green spaces. The area offers a resort-style pace of life by the sea, away from the dense urban centres of Sharjah and Dubai, while keeping both within a comfortable drive.

Al Hamriyah sits between Ajman and Umm Al Quwain, with road links to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road connecting the area with Sharjah city, Ajman and Dubai. Hamriyah Free Zone, one of the emirate's key industrial and logistics hubs, lies close by and adds a significant employment base to the neighbourhood. Within the wider waterfront city, Crystal Gulf, a large themed leisure destination, is planned alongside water-based attractions, beaches and community facilities, complementing the established residential phases of the community.

From an investment perspective, island villas with private beach access remain a limited product on the Sharjah market, which supports long-term interest from both end-users and investors. Sharjah Waterfront City offers a waterfront lifestyle at a lower entry point than comparable island communities in Dubai, attracting families from Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai looking for more space and a quieter setting. The growing infrastructure of the master development and its coastal position make the area an attractive choice for buyers targeting long-term capital appreciation and rental demand.
