Sobha Realty has announced the launch of Sobha Sanctuary, its largest master-planned development in Dubai to date, marking a major milestone as the Sobha Group celebrates 50 years of excellence. The community reflects Sobha’s most ambitious vision for integrated, wellness-led living, delivered through its fully Backward Integrated model and commitment to quality without compromise, said a statement.
Spanning across 37.5m sqft, Sobha Sanctuary is designed as a nature-centric, future-ready lifestyle destination aligned with Dubai’s sustainability and urban growth ambitions. The development is expected to cater to around 20,000 families and features an expansive central destination park that forms the social and recreational heart of the community, alongside a community mall, wellness centre, and a wide range of active lifestyle amenities, it added.
A 6km Leisure Loop, complemented by a 9km wellness loop, connects residences to a network of green corridors, nature promenades, shaded walkways, and water features, with more than 50,000 trees planned across the development. This integrated blue-green network ensures seamless access to open space, promotes wellbeing, and enhances environmental performance, the developer explained.
Francis Alfred, Managing Director, Sobha Realty said, “Sobha Sanctuary represents a landmark moment for Sobha Realty as we mark 50 years of building with purpose, precision, and integrity. As our largest single development in Dubai to date, this masterplan reflects a long-term vision to create a community where nature, wellness, and thoughtful design come together at scale. Guided by our philosophy of quality without compromise and our ‘The Art of Detail’ ethos, Sobha Sanctuary is designed not only for families today, but for generations to come.”
Sobha Sanctuary will be a mixed-use destination comprising 20,000 residential units, including around 18,000 apartments and 2,000 villas, alongside a hospital, 2 international schools, retail offerings, and community facilities. The first phase will focus on villa living, with a limited release of around 250 units.
Villas are set within a forest-inspired landscape and feature contemporary minimalist architecture, expansive windows, terraces, private courtyards, and direct access to green spaces, promoting indoor-outdoor living and a strong connection to nature. Strategically located with easy access to Dubai’s major districts and road networks, Sobha Sanctuary is set to become one of the city’s significant master-planned communities, defining a new benchmark for nature-led, wellness-focused urban living, the statement concluded.
