Emerald Hills

Emerald Hills is one of the most prestigious villa neighbourhoods within Dubai Hills Estate, developed by Emaar Properties. Unlike standard residential projects where Emaar constructs the villas, Emerald Hills consists of exclusive residential plots where owners can design and build their own bespoke homes within Emaar's architectural guidelines.

The plots are positioned around the 18-hole Dubai Hills Championship Golf Course, giving many homes direct views over the manicured fairways and greenery. Emaar markets the neighbourhood as an opportunity to create a personalised residence, with owners able to choose between classical and contemporary architectural styles within the development's design framework.

Because the homes are individually designed, there is no single standard villa floor plan or fixed villa specification for Emerald Hills. Existing completed villas in the neighbourhood range from contemporary minimalist designs to larger super-prime residences with private pools, landscaped gardens, expansive terraces and floor-to-ceiling glazing.

The neighbourhood is surrounded by extensive greenery and golf-course landscaping. Emaar highlights approximately 1.2 million sq m of manicured golf-course fairways, while the wider Dubai Hills Estate provides access to Dubai Hills Park, Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Hills Golf Club, schools, healthcare and community retail.

Residents also benefit from recreational facilities associated with the Emerald Hills area, including a clubhouse with swimming pool, sports courts, outdoor fitness, children's play areas, picnic spaces, volleyball, basketball and pétanque.

The location places Emerald Hills between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, with Al Khail Road providing direct access to both areas. Burj Khalifa and Downtown skyline views are an important part of the positioning of the plots, alongside the golf-course outlook.

Overall, Emerald Hills is a custom-build luxury villa plot community rather than a standard villa development, offering owners the opportunity to create individually designed homes in a low-density golf-course setting within Dubai Hills Estate.
