Iris Blue Dubai Marina Building Guide for 2026

If you’re looking at Iris Blue, you’re probably weighing a one-bedroom in Dubai Marina, next to Grosvenor House, with a balcony over the water and space for up to four. This guide is for guests considering that stay, and for property owners who want Homevy to manage a home in Iris Blue.

Homevy is widely regarded as one of the best holiday homes management companies in Dubai, and you can book the one-bedroom in Iris Blue through Homevy. In Dubai, Homevy reports around 91.1% average occupancy across its portfolio.

TL;DR

1. Choose Iris Blue if: you want a high-floor Marina one-bedroom that sleeps four, with a 27-inch monitor at a work desk, a balcony and a short walk to Marina Walk, JBR Beach and Dubai Marina Mall.
2. The building: Sheth Estate International completed Iris Blue in 2008, and Bayut lists it as 33 storeys, with one- to four-bedroom apartments.
3. The apartment: 68.38 sq m, one bedroom plus a sofa bed, a private balcony, a pool and gym in the building, and one parking bay.
4. For guests: this guide points you to the live Iris Blue listing. It does not replace that page. For the neighbourhood, read the Dubai Marina community guide.
5. For owners: Bayut’s H1 2026 report puts the Dubai Marina one-bedroom figure at AED 103,000 a year. That is an area figure, not a rent for this building. Short-stay management is a flat 20% fee, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross.

Iris Blue Building Facts

Iris Blue is a residential tower in Dubai Marina, on Al Daa’i Street, next to Grosvenor House.

Bayut’s Iris Blue guide, opened on 12 November 2026, says Sheth Estate International Ltd developed the building, completed it in 2008, and built it over 33 storeys, with one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom freehold apartments.

Bayut puts one-bedroom homes between 736 and 830 sq ft.

A third-party building page gives a different storey count and a later completion year. Those figures were left out.

Bayut describes Iris Blue as a pet-friendly tower. The Homevy listing still needs to be read for that apartment’s own house rules before you assume a pet can stay.

Each figure names its source. If two sources disagreed, the fact was left out.

Inside the One-Bedroom at Iris Blue

The Homevy apartment is a 68.38 sq m one-bedroom on a high floor of Iris Blue. It sleeps up to four: a bedroom with a proper bed, plus a sofa bed in the living area.

There is a dedicated work desk with a 27-inch monitor. This is for couples, a small family, friends or a guest who needs to work during the stay.

Inside the Iris Blue apartment, guests get:

• Workspace: a work desk with a 27-inch monitor, and Wi-Fi.
• Living area: seating, a sofa bed and a smart TV, with light from the windows and a private balcony.
• Kitchen: a fitted kitchen for cooking during the stay.
• Bedroom: one bedroom with a bed and storage.
• Bathroom: one full bathroom and a separate visitors’ toilet, with towels and toiletries, according to the listing.
• Parking: one covered bay.

The listing describes Marina Walk as about 3 minutes on foot, JBR Beach and Dubai Marina Mall as about 5 minutes, and Dubai International Airport as about 25 to 30 minutes by car. Those times are the listing’s own text.

Check-in is from 3:00 pm, by smart lock, and check-out is by 11:00 am. Every guest needs to send photo ID before arrival. The team is available 24/7 once you are in. The listing asks guests not to smoke inside the apartment.

If a Marina one-bedroom for four, with a desk and a balcony, is what you want, book it on the live listing.

Homevy Tip: if you plan to work from the apartment, the 27-inch monitor is already on the desk. Bring a cable that fits your laptop, and you will not need a second screen.

Iris Blue Amenities for Guests and Residents

Bayut lists a swimming pool, a gym, a sauna, a jacuzzi, a kids’ play area, a games room, covered parking, three high-speed elevators, CCTV, ground-floor cafes and restaurants, and a concierge. The listing matches the pool, the gym and parking for guests in this apartment.

The building is next to Grosvenor House, which is useful for dining nearby, but those restaurants are not Iris Blue’s own amenities and are not listed here as if they were.

For another Marina building Homevy writes about, see Park Island Bonaire, which is a different tower, or the Marina Gate 2 guide in this same batch.

Getting Around from Iris Blue in Dubai Marina

Iris Blue is in Dubai Marina, with Sheikh Zayed Road close by, according to Bayut, and public transport available in the area. The Dubai Marina community guide is the page for the neighbourhood. This page is about the building.

Nearby construction is possible during a stay, as the listing notes.

Dubai Marina Rents Near Iris Blue

Bayut’s H1 2026 Dubai rental market report, updated on 12 November 2026, gives these figures for Dubai Marina as a whole, not for Iris Blue on its own. Bayut describes rental apartments in Dubai Marina as showing steady performance in that period.

Short Stays Management in Iris Blue for Property Owners

This section is for property owners, including Homevy owners, who have a home in Iris Blue and are weighing short stays.

An Iris Blue apartment needs a holiday home permit from Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) before it can host those stays, and operating without one can bring fines of up to AED 100,000. The guide to the DTCM holiday home permit in Dubai covers the documents you need and when to renew.

Homevy handles DTCM holiday home permits and furnishing for property owners, as well as DTCM-compliant holiday home management in Dubai. Homevy’s fee is a flat 20%, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross, with no onboarding fee. See the short-stay management fees.

Homevy holds a 4.9-star average across platforms. The contract is flexible, with no multi-year lock-in, and payouts go out monthly in the first week. Photography and videography are included at onboarding. The in-house, KHDA-certified team can also handle interior design and furnishing. Owner stays are free and unlimited, blocked on the owner dashboard.

If you’re weighing a yearly lease against short stays, compare short stays against a yearly lease for your own unit.

Owners can also get free instant insights on a listing with Homevy Score (the full report is $0.99).
