Golf Hills 2

A 10-storey building set against an 18-hole golf course in Emaar South

Golf Hills 2 comes down to one address that speaks for itself: a five-minute drive from Al Maktoum International Airport, set to become the world's largest airport by capacity. Emaar Properties is building a compact structure here, a ground floor, a podium and ten residential levels, positioned along the golf course that shapes the whole Emaar South community. The collection mixes one, two and three-bedroom apartments with three-bedroom townhouses, an unusual combination within a single building. Handover is set for September 2029, on a freehold basis. The project is aimed squarely at families and investors betting on the rise of Dubai's southern corridor.

Five minutes from Al Maktoum, the airport reshaping the south

Emaar South is not just another district. It is a master plan built around the construction of Al Maktoum International Airport, set to become the largest air terminal on the planet. From Golf Hills 2, the airport is a five-minute drive away, with Expo City and its business network close by. The rest of the city is within three-quarters of an hour: thirty minutes to Dubai Marina, thirty-five to Downtown and Burj Khalifa, forty-five to Dubai International Airport. Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road run directly through the area. The future Blue Line metro is expected to further improve access to this part of the emirate over time.

Apartments and townhouses under one roof

What sets Golf Hills 2 apart from its neighbours is the coexistence of several unit types within the same building. There are one to three-bedroom apartments designed as dual-aspect homes, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the fairways. Alongside them sit three-bedroom townhouses, a format usually reserved for standalone villas. This mix means a young professional and a family can both find a fit within the same address. The layouts favour natural light and blur the line between indoor space and terrace, a design choice the developer makes no secret of.

Light facades, warm wood and textured stone

The architecture keeps things minimal: clean lines, light-toned facades, restrained volumes. Inside, Emaar leans on materials that add depth to surfaces, warm wood, textured stone, metal and glass that catches the light. Each finish is chosen for its character rather than for show. Rooms are generously sized and the layout is built for entertaining. The overall aim is a considered simplicity rather than anything showy.

Infinity pool, padel and outdoor yoga

The amenities list goes beyond the usual checklist. An infinity pool overlooks the greens, backed up by a children's pool and a pool deck. On the sports side, Golf Hills 2 offers an indoor gym and an outdoor fitness area, a padel court and two yoga spaces, one covered and one open air. Families get a playground, a barbecue zone and several lounge spots spread across the landscaped grounds. Access to the 18-hole golf course remains the main draw, with walking paths connecting the residences to the various leisure areas.

A developer that has already delivered 118,000 homes

Emaar Properties remains the benchmark for judging the reliability of an off-plan purchase in Dubai. The group has delivered more than 118,400 residential units and has over 50,500 more in the pipeline, across twelve markets. Its 2024 results show revenue of AED 35.5 billion and net profit of AED 17.5 billion. In Emaar South, the developer keeps launching new phases around the golf course, building a coherent community rather than a scatter of standalone buildings. For a buyer, that continuity of master planning matters as much as the specifications of any single building.
