The vibe
The Oasis is low density by design — entirely standalone villas, no apartments, no townhouses. With roughly 25% of the masterplan dedicated to parks, water features, jogging tracks, and landscaped green corridors, the community feels more like a private resort than a conventional neighbourhood. The phases released so far — Palmiera, Lavita, and Mirage — each have their own character, but all share that same unhurried, spacious quality that is genuinely rare this close to central Dubai. Think wide roads, mature landscaping (in progress as phases build out), and the kind of privacy that comes from generous plot sizes.
Because it is still building out — with new phases launched as recently as early 2026 — there is a mix of completed homes and construction activity across different zones. That is an honest trade-off for buying into a masterplan at an early stage: you get better pricing than you will in three to five years, but you are also living adjacent to cranes for a while.
Property and prices
With 32 current listings, The Oasis is a focused, high-value market rather than a liquid one. Average prices sit around AED 14.6 million, with the entry point at roughly AED 9.8 million and the upper end reaching AED 21 million. Homes run from 4 to 7 bedrooms, and the total development value of the masterplan — cited by Emaar at over AED 73 billion — signals significant confidence in long-term capital growth. New sub-community launches like Palmiera Collective (38 ultra-exclusive villas from AED 16.5 million) are reinforcing the upward pricing trajectory.
Rental data is not yet established here — most buyers are end-users or long-horizon investors rather than yield hunters. The investment thesis is capital appreciation over five-plus years, and given comparable Emaar masterplans like The Valley and Arabian Ranches, that track record is credible. Payment plans (typically 80/20 on new launches) make entry manageable for off-plan buyers.
Getting around
The Oasis sits in the Dubailand corridor, which means a car is essential — full stop. There is no metro access currently, and bus connectivity to the community itself is minimal. That said, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and the Al Khail Road extension place Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, and Dubai International Airport within roughly a 35-minute drive in normal traffic. Dubai Marina and JBR are about 40 minutes away. For a villa community buyer in this segment, the car-dependent lifestyle is typically expected and accepted, but it is worth factoring into daily planning if you have a school run in multiple directions.
Who it suits
The Oasis is built for a specific buyer profile: high-net-worth families or investors who want maximum privacy, generous space, and the credibility of an Emaar masterplan at a price point that still offers room to grow. It suits people who are comfortable with a 30-to-40-minute drive to work or leisure and are buying into a vision as much as a finished product. End-users who want immediate, fully mature surroundings would be better served by Arabian Ranches or The Springs for now. But for buyers thinking five to ten years ahead — or those who want a home with land, water views, and room to breathe — The Oasis is one of Dubai's more compelling long-term positions.

FAQ
Is The Oasis by Emaar completed or still under construction?
It is a phased masterplan with some completed phases (Palmiera, Lavita) and others still building out. New sub-communities were launched as recently as early 2026. Expect construction activity in parts of the community for several more years.
What is the average property price in The Oasis by Emaar?
Current listings average around AED 14.6 million, with a range from AED 9.8 million to AED 21 million. All homes are standalone villas or mansions — there are no apartments or townhouses in this development.
Are there rental yields available in The Oasis?
Rental data for this community is not yet well established given its early stage. Most buyers are end-users or long-horizon capital-growth investors rather than yield-focused landlords. The investment case here is primarily capital appreciation.
How far is The Oasis from Downtown Dubai?
Approximately 35 minutes by car via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in normal traffic. There is no metro access, so a car is essential for daily life.
What makes The Oasis different from other Emaar villa communities?
It is Emaar's first blue-lagoon villa community and their largest active masterplan at 100 million square feet. The defining feature is the combination of ultra-low density (villas only), crystal lagoons, and an unprecedented scale of green space — roughly 25% of the total area is parks, water, and recreation.
Is it a good investment?
Analysts and agents who track comparable Emaar masterplans point to strong long-term capital growth potential, particularly as the community matures and its lagoon infrastructure completes. The caveat is that this is a 5-to-10-year horizon play — not a short-term flip or a yield story.
