The demand for villas in Dubai keeps growing. This is due to the transfer of a number of employees to remote working, which started during the pandemic, and to the large inflow of expats to Dubai which continues to this day. People are keen to buy spacious houses suitable for work and leisure. Villas are particularly popular among families with children as the complexes are usually gated and very safe. Such complexes also offer all the amenities that they need: parks, swimming pools, sports grounds, schools, and kindergartens. Read on to find about some new projects in Dubai where you can buy a villa.
Elie Saab is a luxury residential complex in Arabian Ranches III, a developing area in south-east Dubai. The compound offers only designer villas and is in a secure area with a swimming pool, a gym and recreational areas. It is a collaboration between Emaar Properties, one of Dubai's leading developers, and Elie Saab, a Lebanese designer, the owner of a fashion house in Beirut. He designed all the interiors. Elie Saab Villas are scheduled for completion in Q3 2025.
