Overview

The Heights Country Club & Wellness — Emaar's largest wellness-focused masterplan in the past decade: 81 million sqft (AED 55B / $15B investment). Located in Al Yalayis at the intersection of Emirates Road (E611) and Expo Road, next to Grand Polo Club & Resort, it sets a new suburban paradigm for Dubai — life centered around wellness, not malls.

The concept is built around 13.9M sqft of open space: parks, ponds, greenways, 38 km of cycling and jogging tracks, meditative gardens, outdoor gyms, wellness pavilions. Phase 1 consists of three clusters — Salva (3-5BR villas, wellness canvas), Serro (sports-active families) and Serro 2 (premium endgame). Each villa sits in a low-density grid with privacy screening.

This is the "entry-premium for Emaar" position — from AED 2.49M townhouse to AED 6.5M+ villa. Emaar deploys its flagship quality (the same team behind Dubai Hills, Arabian Ranches, The Valley) in a new geographic centre — next to Al Maktoum DWC, which will become the world's largest airport by 2030. This is an investment not in today's location but in the future heart of Dubai's Aero-metropolis.
