The Oasis by Emaar is not a project. It is a city — 100 million square feet of master-planned luxury community in the southeast of Dubai's growth corridor, home to over 3,100 exquisitely designed residences and benchmarked against the best waterfront living destinations in the world.
DLD 2025: Emaar's anchor communities lead transaction volume. Dubai Hills Estate registered 11,211 sales, Dubai Creek Harbour 9,434, Downtown Dubai 7,880 — all in the top 15 communities citywide by volume. The Oasis sits within Emaar's villa pipeline alongside these established yield-and-growth anchors.
When Emaar announced The Oasis, the reaction from the investment community was immediate. The scale was unprecedented. The product — 4 to 7-bedroom villas and mansions with direct lagoon access, private pools and mature landscaping from day one — addressed a supply gap in Dubai's luxury villa market that no single development had previously filled. Entry prices starting from AED 8 million for a 4-bedroom villa with waterway views, in a community designed to rival Palm Jumeirah, represented the most significant new luxury villa opportunity in Dubai since Palm Jumeirah itself.
The Oasis sits in the southeast quadrant of Dubai's vibrant core, once known primarily for its equestrian heritage. The area has been transformed by Emaar's master plan infrastructure investment: arterial road connections, retail promenades, school catchments and healthcare — all the enabling infrastructure that converts open land into a genuinely liveable community.
The community's water system is its defining feature. Meandering canals, swimmable lagoons, water stream parks and spring gardens create a landscape that is simultaneously designed and natural — genuinely resort-like in the way that the best communities in the world feel resort-like. The Clubhouse, Oasis Lagoon, Water Stream Park and pocket park network are not amenity box-ticking exercises. They are the primary lifestyle infrastructure around which the entire community has been planned.
Within The Oasis, Emaar has positioned two branded villa clusters that represent the apex of the community's offering:
Address Villas Tierra sits directly on the waterfront at the heart of The Oasis. These villas blend Emaar's Address Hotels + Resorts service ecosystem with private villa living — private pools, direct lagoon access, and butler service infrastructure. The Address brand's operational excellence and global recognition ensures a premium resale pool and strong short-let demand for investor-owners.
Palace Residences brings Emaar's Palace Hotels brand — the group's ultra-luxury hospitality arm — into a residential context. For buyers seeking the highest specification product within the community, Palace Residences represents The Oasis at its most elevated.
The Oasis represents a compelling investment for two distinct buyer profiles. For the long-hold investor: the combination of Emaar's delivery credibility, the community's genuine scale (which creates self-sustaining demand), and Dubai's structural growth trajectory provides a strong long-term capital appreciation case. Communities of this quality and scale, once delivered, consistently command significant premiums over pre-launch prices.
For the lifestyle buyer: The Oasis delivers a product that does not currently exist anywhere else in Dubai — a master community of this scale with direct waterway access, branded service infrastructure, and genuine green space, within 20 minutes of Downtown. The Palm Jumeirah was the last comparable lifestyle proposition, and there will not be another one like it.
"The Oasis is to Dubai's southeastern corridor what Palm Jumeirah was to the coast in 2001 — the defining community of its generation, built by a developer whose delivery record removes the primary risk."
The standard payment structure for The Oasis villas follows Emaar's 80/20 framework: 80% during construction and 20% on handover. This allows buyers to spread the majority of their acquisition cost across the construction period, with a final 20% due at the point of receiving the keys and title deed. For Golden Visa purposes, the full AED 2M+ threshold is met at the point of purchase, not at handover.
