Sobha Sanctuary — Master Community in Dubailand

A wellbeing-led master community in Dubailand — 6 km crystal lagoon, 50,000+ trees, 800,000 sq.ft central park, and Phase 1 ~400 homes across villa enclaves and The Woods apartments.

Spaces Where Life Unfolds

A City Designed Around Wellbeing

Sobha Sanctuary is a master-planned community shaped around everyday wellbeing — green space, thoughtful architecture, and intuitive amenities brought together as one living ecosystem spanning approximately 37.5 million sq.ft in Al Yufrah, Dubailand.

Official Sanctuary materials describe a 6 km crystal lagoon, an 800,000 sq.ft central park, and more than 50,000 trees across roughly 50% open and green space. Outdoor networks include a 9 km wellness loop, 20 km of cycling tracks, and a 5 km leisure loop — alongside Sobha Sanctuary Mall, a wellness centre, hospital, and two international schools.

Phase 1 of the masterplan is reported to comprise approximately 400 homes across five distinct neighbourhoods: The Willows, The Grove, The Greens, The Brooks, and The Woods apartment collection. As reported, villa enclaves hand over in Q3 2029 (August 2029), while The Woods apartments hand over in December 2029.

The masterplan sits in Dubailand near other Sobha developments including Sobha Reserve and Sobha Elwood. Villa enclaves from approximately AED 3.99 million typically meet the AED 2 million Golden Visa property investment threshold; Woods apartments from AED 999,000 do not automatically qualify. Verify current Golden Visa rules with Sobha Realty or an authorized advisor.

Explore individual neighbourhoods: The Willows, The Grove, The Greens, The Brooks, The Woods Retreat, The Woods Serenity, and The Woods Abode. Compare apartment releases on Compare The Woods.

Life Within the Masterplan

Life Designed to Feel Effortless

Homes open toward greenery, daylight moves freely through spaces, and architecture works quietly with nature. The masterplan supports calm mornings, unhurried evenings, and a sense of belonging within a wider living ecosystem.

Learning Beyond the Classroom

Educational spaces sit within walkable, green surroundings that encourage curiosity, movement, and growth both indoors and out.

Entertainment
