Overview
The Oasis is Emaar’s flagship ultra-luxury, low-rise villa masterplan in Dubai’s Dubailand belt — over 100 million sq ft (~9.4 sq km), with no apartment towers announced. Launched June 2023; in February 2024 the footprint grew 108% and the stated development value rose from AED 34B to AED 73B (~USD 20B). It’s built entirely of villas and mansions across staggered sub-communities/clusters, each launched and sold separately with its own pricing and handover date. As of mid-2026, no homes had yet been handed over anywhere in the masterplan.
Key Details
- Developer: Emaar Properties
- Location: Dubailand, accessed via Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street (D54) — near Remraam (~3 km), Jumeirah Golf Estates (~3.6 km), Damac Hills (~4.7 km)
- Scale: ~7,000 residences across all clusters — townhouses, villas, mansions, and super-mansions
- Ownership: Freehold
- Land use: ~25% allocated to water and green space
- Status: Multiple clusters already sold out at developer level (Palmiera 3, Oasis Address Branded Villas confirmed); resale market active across the board

Features & Amenities
Lagoons, beaches, canals, and a winding river corridor running through the masterplan
Private jetties for waterfront mansion clusters (Ostra, Mirage)
~1.5 million sq ft retail centre
Community parks, jogging and cycling tracks, schools, mosques, healthcare facilities, sports facilities
No golf course within The Oasis itself — Jumeirah Golf Estates and Damac Hills golf are nearby, not part of this project (worth knowing so you don’t misrepresent it to a client comparing it against golf-community rivals)
Payment Plan
No single plan covers the whole masterplan — it varies by cluster and launch phase. Two patterns repeat most often:
- Most common (Palmiera 3, Oasis Address, Mareva): 10% down payment → 70% during construction (sometimes split into 7 instalments) → 20% on handover
- Also seen (Mirage, and cited generically for “Plan A/B” community-wide): 20% down / 60% construction / 20% handover, or 10% down / 80% construction / 10% handover
All payments go into RERA-registered escrow accounts tied to construction milestones. Always confirm the exact plan for the specific cluster/unit — this is not a one-size-fits-all project.
Handover Timeline
Staggered from Q4 2027 (Palmiera) through to Q1 2030 (Mareva/Mareva 2), with Valoria and Palmiera Collective still TBC. No cluster has handed over yet as of mid-2026 — treat every date here as a developer target, subject to the usual off-plan slippage risk at this scale.
Location & Connectivity
- ~18 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (developer marketing figure)
- ~3 km to Remraam, ~3.6 km to Jumeirah Golf Estates, ~4.7 km to Damac Hills
- Not on the Dubai–Al Ain Road corridor (where The Valley and Arabian Ranches III sit) — accessed via D54 instead
Investment Highlights
- Emaar’s flagship ultra-luxury villa play — scarce large-format stock (7,000 units total across a 100M+ sq ft masterplan, still small relative to demand at this price tier)
- Secondary-market Palmiera 4BR trades ~AED 10–12M, roughly 12% above 2023 launch pricing on average — one of the few data points showing actual appreciation so far
- Asking prices run AED 1,800–2,000/sq ft; actual registered transfers (May–June 2026) were lower, AED 1,063–1,863/sq ft — worth flagging that asking and transacted prices diverge here
- Priced below delivered comparables like Dubai Hills Estate and District One per sq ft — a capital-appreciation/end-user pitch more than a rental-yield one
- Risks worth disclosing to a client: megaproject delivery risk through 2027–2030, surrounding road/infrastructure still under construction, competing villa supply nearby (Athlon, The Heights Country Club, Emaar South), unverified future service charges (lagoon-adjacent upkeep could run high), and resale premiums that may compress once launch-era flipping slows
Answers to common questions
Is The Oasis one project or many?
Can I still buy from Emaar directly?
Is there a golf course?
What’s the typical payment plan?
Most commonly 10% down / 70% during construction / 20% on handover, though some clusters use 20/60/20 or 10/80/10 — always verify per cluster.
