Mareva 1

311 villas lined up along navigable canals, not a single apartment

Mareva 1 counts exactly 311 standalone villas, and nothing else. Emaar Properties has left out towers and townhouses altogether, building only single and two storey homes across three layouts: 155 four bedroom villas, 69 five bedroom villas and 87 six bedroom villas. The smallest layout starts at 7,254 square feet of built up area on a 8,105 square foot plot, while the largest reaches 12,779 square feet built. Everything is arranged around winding waterways and green open space, within the wider Oasis master plan on the western edge of Dubai. Handover is set for February 2030.

The Oasis, Emaar's water and greenery bet on the west side

The Oasis ranks among Emaar's newest master plans, built around canals, swimmable lagoons and landscaped parks. The developer has already launched Mirage and Palace Villas Ostra here, a sign that the area is moving upmarket fast. Mareva 1 fits that same pattern of spaced out low density living, far removed from the crowding of Downtown. The community stays residential at its core, but it also includes schools, a community center and neighborhood retail. This is still a district under construction, with the upsides and downsides that come with buying into a place that isn't finished yet.

Eighteen minutes from Al Maktoum International

The location turns its back on Dubai's traditional center of gravity. Al Maktoum International Airport sits eighteen minutes away by car, a distance that will matter more as that airport keeps expanding. Dubai Hills Estate and its mall are twenty minutes out, Downtown Dubai thirty five minutes. Anyone working in old Dubai will trade commute time for space and quiet. For a family whose daily life already revolves around the west side of the city, the math works out much better.

A swimmable lagoon and beach access on foot

Water sits at the center of the amenity package. Residents get a swimmable lagoon, light sand beaches and resort style pools scattered through the community. On top of that there's a spa, wellness and fitness facilities, separate jogging and cycling tracks, plus several parks and children's play areas. A clubhouse and community center round things out, along with multipurpose sports courts. The whole setup is clearly built for families who want everything within cycling distance, without needing a car for every errand or activity.

Payment split into eight installments through handover

The payment plan tracks the construction schedule from start to finish. Buyers pay 10 percent at booking, then four installments of 10 percent each spread between February 2026 and August 2027. Three more 10 percent payments follow construction progress between June 2028 and May 2029. The remaining 20 percent balance is due at full completion, expected in February 2030. This is a standard Emaar structure with no post handover component, built for buyers financing across the build period rather than looking for a quick flip.

Beige interiors and architecture built to catch the light

The villas lean into a natural color palette, with warm beige tones and soft textures throughout. The contemporary architecture aims for lightness, favoring large openings that let in daylight and frame views of water and greenery. Each home is designed to feel spacious while keeping privacy intact, despite sitting close to neighbors within the community. The generous floor areas, running past 1,100 square meters built for the six bedroom layout, target large or multigenerational families. This sits at the top end of the villa segment, better compared against other Oasis launches than against Dubai's apartment stock.
