Marina Gate 2 Dubai Marina Building Guide for 2026

If you’re looking at Marina Gate 2, you’re looking at The Residences at Marina Gate II, the central tower of Select Group’s three-tower Marina Gate complex, with a one-bedroom that takes in the sea and Ain Dubai.

This guide is for guests considering that stay, and for property owners who want Homevy to manage a home in Marina Gate 2. It is a guide to this tower, not a generic Dubai Marina page.

Homevy was named Best Short-Term Rental Management Company in Dubai at the 2026 Arabian Best of the Best Awards, and you can book the one-bedroom in Marina Gate 2 through Homevy. Homevy holds a 4.9-star average across platforms.

Homevy reports around 91.1% average occupancy across its portfolio, a figure covered by Entrepreneur Middle East in August 2026.

TL;DR

1. Choose Marina Gate 2 if: you want a high-floor Dubai Marina one-bedroom that sleeps four, with sea and Ain Dubai views, and direct access to Marina Walk.
2. The building: Select Group’s official page says The Residences at Marina Gate II was completed in 2019 and contains 535 homes, including one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, penthouses and podium villas. Bayut lists the tower at 64 storeys.
3. The apartment: 770 sq ft, one bedroom, a sofa bed, a queen bed, a private balcony, and building access to a temperature-controlled infinity pool, a gym, a children’s pool and a basketball court.
4. For guests: this guide points you to the live Marina Gate 2 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. Airbnb property management with Homevy is a flat 20% fee, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross.

Marina Gate 2 Building Facts

The Residences at Marina Gate II, also called Marina Gate 2, is the second and central tower of Select Group’s Marina Gate trio in Dubai Marina.

Select Group’s project page, opened on 12 November 2026, says the tower was completed in 2019 and contains 535 homes: one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, half-floor penthouses, waterfront podium villas and one full-floor penthouse.

The official page says the tower has direct access to Marina Walk.

Bayut’s Marina Gate 2 guide lists the tower at 64 storeys and 535 units, completed in 2019 under Select Group, which matches the developer on both counts.

Bayut also names a dual-level gym with steam and sauna, a lounge pool, nine passenger lifts and a service elevator, and says the building allows pets. Elevator counts on other pages did not all agree, so a lift total is not stated as a hard figure.

The Homevy listing includes a steam room and sauna among the facilities guests can use. As with any building that allows pets, the Homevy apartment’s own house rules still apply.

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

Inside the One-Bedroom at Marina Gate 2

The Homevy apartment is a 770 sq ft one-bedroom on a high floor of Marina Gate 2. It sleeps up to four: a queen bed in the bedroom, plus a sofa bed in the living room.

Floor-to-ceiling windows open to marina and sea views, and the private balcony looks out across the water. On a clear day, Ain Dubai is in the view, as the listing describes.

Inside the Marina Gate 2 apartment, guests get:

• Living area: a sofa and a sofa bed, a smart TV with streaming, Wi-Fi, and floor-to-ceiling windows on the marina and the sea.
• Kitchen: pots, pans, plates, utensils, a microwave, a kettle and a full fridge.
• Bedroom: a queen bed, blackout curtains and storage.
• Bathroom: a modern bathroom with towels and toiletries.
• Balcony: a private balcony with sea views across the marina.
• Parking: a reserved covered space, according to the listing.

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 and present it at check-in. The team is available 24/7 once you are in.

If a high-floor Marina one-bedroom for four, with sea and Ain Dubai views, is what you want, book it on the live listing.

Homevy Tip: the balcony is the reason many guests pick this apartment. If sunset matters to you, say so when you ask for a late check-out; it is not always possible, and an extra charge may apply, as the listing notes.

Short Stays Management in Marina Gate 2 for Property Owners

This section is for property owners, including Homevy owners, who have a home in Marina Gate 2 and are weighing short stays.

A Marina Gate 2 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 for Airbnb property management in Dubai is a flat 20%, usually taken from net revenue rather than gross (after VAT and channel costs, as the live fees page defines it), with no onboarding fee. See the short-stay management fees.

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).

Who Marina Gate 2 Suits Best
