The Oasis by Emaar
Emaar's 100 million square foot villa-only masterplan.
Cash-comfortable villa buyers with a 2029 to 2031 horizon who want Emaar's build record and a plot with real space around it. It works best as a family home for people already living in the Dubailand, Sports City and Damac Hills belt, where the school run and the commute already point south.
Skip if you need income. Entry is now AED 13.5M, villa gross yields here model in the mid single digits, below what a Dubai apartment does, and nothing can be rented before 2027. Skip too if your working day is in DIFC or Downtown: Emaar's own drive-time list says 35 minutes to Downtown, and that is off-peak with no metro planned.
What The Oasis by Emaar trades at.
Emaar's record in Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills supports the appreciation case, but the launch ladder has already run from AED 8.5M in 2023 to AED 16.5M in 2026. Much of the maturation premium sits in today's entry price, and Emaar keeps releasing phases that will compete with your unit.
Villa product does not carry yield. Modelled gross yields at handover land in the mid single digits on a four bedroom, below Dubai apartment yields, and service charges in new master communities are commonly revised upward in the first three to four years. Buy this for capital, not income.

The Oasis sits at the southern edge of Dubailand, off Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street, on 100 million square feet, with no apartment buildings anywhere in the plan. Emaar counts roughly 7,000 homes, of which about 2,600 to 3,100 are villas and mansions, and sets aside about a quarter of the land for lagoons, canals and parks. Eleven sub-communities have been released since the June 2023 launch at the Armani Hotel. First handovers are scheduled from late 2027, so everyone buying today is buying a drawing.
Pricing has moved hard across the phases. Palmiera opened at AED 8.5M in 2023. Palmiera 3 followed at AED 9.18M, Address Villas Tierra at AED 13.2M, Palace Villas Ostra at AED 13.1M. The 2025 and 2026 releases sit higher again: Mareva from AED 13.47M, Mareva 2 from AED 13.83M, Palmiera Collective from AED 16.5M for a four bedroom. On built-up area that is roughly AED 1,860 to 2,090 per square foot at launch. Every phase has priced above the last, which means the maturation premium is already in the asking price.
Infrastructure lags the sales. Emaar appointed Wade Adams in October 2024, sixteen months after launch, to build the irrigation and firefighting pumping station and connect potable water and sewerage for the initial phases. The retail district, the schools and most of the lagoon network are late-phase items, and no metro line is planned. What the community does have is Emaar as master developer, four golf courses within about five kilometres, three British curriculum schools inside four kilometres, and Al Maktoum International eighteen minutes away on Emaar's own drive-time list.

The risk here is sequencing, not Emaar's balance sheet.
The community is sold against a finished 2030 picture, but the 1.5 million square foot retail district, the schools and most of the lagoon network are late-phase items, so residents arriving from 2027 will live on an active construction site with a long drive to anything. Resale is the second problem: villas at this size and price are slow to exit, and every new phase Emaar releases lands directly on top of your unit.
No. The community is car-only, reached from Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street (D54) and Yalayis Street, with an Al Khail Road extension planned but not built. Assume two cars per household, and treat every published drive time, including Emaar's own, as an off-peak number.
Add the 4 percent DLD transfer fee plus roughly AED 4,000 in admin, and Oqood registration on an off-plan unit. On a AED 13.5M villa the DLD fee alone is AED 540,000. It is a sunk cost, so subtract it from any gain and count it in your base when you model the return.
Off-plan lending is capped at 50 percent loan to value, and that cap does not step up at handover. On a AED 13.5M Mareva villa that is roughly AED 6.75M of cash across the plan before fees. Get the bank's written position before you sign the booking form, not after.
In practice, yes. Every current release is far above the AED 2M property threshold and off-plan purchases from approved developers are accepted. Confirm with Emaar which payment stage triggers the application, because that point varies and it decides when you can actually apply.
