The Oasis

Emaar Properties is the developer. It is also behind Downtown Dubai, Dubai Hills Estate, Arabian Ranches, Dubai Creek Harbour and Emaar South. Emaar handles the community masterplan and each villa and mansion release within The Oasis.

It lies in Dubai's south-western residential growth corridor, with access via Expo Road, Al Yalayis Road and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Street. Approximate drive times are 18 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 20 minutes to Dubai Hills Estate, 28 minutes to Dubai Marina and 35 minutes to Downtown Dubai.

The offer is mainly standalone luxury villas, mansions, super-mansions and branded residences. Releases so far range from four-bedroom villas to seven-bedroom mansions. Palmiera has four and five-bedroom homes. Mirage has five and six-bedroom villas. Lavita has six and seven-bedroom mansions. Marèva, Marèva 2, Palace Villas – Ostra and Address Villas – Tierra come in four to six-bedroom layouts.

Emaar's current promotion centres almost entirely on villas, mansions, super-mansions and branded villas. Its portfolio for the community names Palmiera, Mirage, Lavita, Tierra, Ostra, Marèva and related villa collections, not apartment projects. Buyers should regard the community as villa-focused until Emaar formally confirms apartments in a later phase.

Palmiera was among the first villa collections released in The Oasis. Its four and five-bedroom villas are set among linked waterways and landscaping. The first release started from around AED 9.7M, and Palmiera 3 later launched from about AED 9.2M. Resale prices today vary by layout, position, plot size and waterfront exposure.

It is a newer phase of The Oasis with large four to six-bedroom villas. Current project-market data puts its launch price at about AED 14M, with handover scheduled for around February 2029. It follows the same approach as the rest of the community: big private homes in a landscaped, low-density setting.

Mirage is a villa collection by Emaar with five and six-bedroom homes. They are planned around water canals, landscaped shared areas and large private gardens. Prices currently start from about AED 15.8M. In home size and price it sits above the early Palmiera phases.

Lavita is an ultra-luxury enclave of just 43 mansions. Homes have six or seven bedrooms and measure about 21,000 to 35,500 sq. ft. Prices start from AED 36M. The lifestyle offer includes waterways, gardens, clubhouses, beaches, pools, fitness facilities and wellness spaces.

Lagoons, canals, lakes and waterfront plots run throughout the plan. However, the official Emaar material we checked makes no mention of private boat or yacht jetties belonging to individual villas. Describe such homes as waterfront or lagoon-facing, and only call a property a jetty villa once its own project brochure states this officially.

Yes. Both established communities lie in the same wider south-western villa corridor around The Oasis. Driving times depend on which entrance you use, traffic and the particular neighbourhood within The Oasis.

Across the masterplan you will find lagoons, beaches, landscaped parks, pocket parks, swimming pools, cycling and jogging tracks, sports courts, children's playgrounds, gyms, spa and wellness facilities, clubhouses, community centres, retail space, mosques and planned education facilities. The exact mix differs from phase to phase.

Buyers can qualify for the UAE's long-term Golden Visa if their real estate investment meets the relevant government criteria. Most homes in The Oasis cost more than the AED 2M threshold usually linked to property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Approval still rests on current UAE rules and the applicant's own circumstances, not on the community.

It may fit investors seeking long-term capital growth in Dubai's luxury villa segment rather than income from day one. Points in its favour include Emaar's master-development track record, big plots, lagoon-facing stock, low-density planning and limited luxury supply. The community is still under development, so there is no mature rental record yet. As of June 2026, Bayut data shows average villa prices of about AED 1,788 per sq. ft., roughly 2.7% higher than 12 months earlier.

Jumeirah Golf Estates is a settled golf community with finished neighbourhoods, working amenities and an established rental market. The Oasis is newer, with more emphasis on big plots, resort-style landscaping and luxury villas fronting lagoons. If you want to move in now and rely on proven rental figures, Jumeirah Golf Estates may suit you better. The Oasis gives earlier-stage exposure to an Emaar masterplan still taking shape.

DAMAC Hills is more mature, mixing villas, townhouses and apartments around the Trump International Golf Club Dubai. The Oasis is pitched closer to the ultra-luxury end of the villa market, with bigger plots, waterways, mansions and branded villas. Although both sit in the same broader villa corridor, they target different budgets and buyer types.
