Project overview

THE SALVA at The Heights Country Club & Wellness The Heights Country Club & Wellness is envisioned as an exclusive retreat lifestyle within a vibrant and sustainable community. The core philosophy is to create a harmonious environment that inspires movement, calm, and a deep connection with the outdoors. The masterplan integrates meandering pathways, lush green spaces, tranquil courtyards, and cascading water features to support a holistic, wellness-led way of life. The development aims to fill a significant gap in the Dubai market for a luxury community themed around a country club and wellness, offering low-density living with unique facilities and amenities. "Envisioned as an exclusive retreat lifestyle, where green landscapes come together to form a vibrant and sustainable community." Strategic Location and Connectivity Perfectly situated at the junction of the E611 (Emirates Road) and E77, The Heights Country Club & Wellness offers effortless access to Dubai's key destinations while maintaining the atmosphere of a calm, secluded retreat. Its location is a strategic move by Emaar to pioneer luxury developments in the expanding area surrounding Al Maktoum International Airport, which is anticipated to become Dubai's future hub for business, conventions, and major companies. The community is connected via three main arteries: Emirates Road, Lahbab Road, and Expo Road. Destination Drive Time Expo City Dubai 10 minutes Al Maktoum Int'l Airport 10 minutes Dubai Marina 18 minutes Dubai Hills Estate 20 minutes Downtown Dubai 28-30 minutes The Master Plan: Scale and Scope The Heights Country Club & Wellness is a mixed-use master development designed with a focus on open space and community infrastructure. It is being developed with the same visionary approach that Emaar applied to iconic communities like Emirates Living and Dubai Hills Estate. Total Area: 7.5 million square meters Residential Clusters: 21 Open Spaces: 25% of the total area, featuring 8 linear parks Estimated Population: Approximately 40,000 residents Infrastructure: Multiple retail amenities, hospitals, and schools are integrated into the plan. The Wellness Halo: The Heart of the Community The defining feature of the master plan is the "Wellness Halo," a central destination designed to inspire and bring families together. This core area is shaped by the natural flow of water, movement, and human connection, featuring meandering waterways that trace reflective pools and landscaped greenery. "what makes this master plan truly unique is the wellness component or what we like to call the Wellness Halo." - Shamsa, Design & Development Lead Key Components of the Wellness Halo: State-of-the-Art Wellness Facility: The main attraction, featuring a private beach and facilities designed in consultation with world-leading wellness architects. Social Core: A central area for celebration and community engagement. Retreat Pockets: Strategically placed, private spaces for reflection, covered by lush landscaping. Shallow Water Streams: Designed not just for aesthetics but for residents to experience and interact with. Fitness Lawns & Studios: Dedicated spaces for physical well-being. Wellness Spa: Offering a range of restorative treatments. Yoga Lake & Paddle Boarding: Promoting mindful and active lifestyles. Private Beach: A unique amenity offering residents a serene coastal experience within the community. Salva: A Prime Community Salva is one of the three communities featured in the initial launch phase of The Heights Country Club & Wellness. It is strategically located along the main entrance of the master plan, making it one of the most prime locations. The community will consist of 3, 4, and 5-bedroom standalone villas and will feature its own set of amenities, including a very nice linear park situated between its clusters. Villa Architecture and Design Philosophy The architectural style is contemporary, yet softened through the use of whitewashed facades, terracotta textures, and abundant landscaping to create an atmosphere that is elegant, warm, and deeply connected to nature. Indoor-Outdoor Living: A seamless connection between internal and external spaces is prioritized, with an increased amount of glazing to fill homes with natural light and invite in views of the water features and lush landscapes. Refined Interiors: The interiors reflect a sense of refined luxury, characterized by clean lines, premium finishes, and a warm, neutral color palette that enhances light flow and livability. Functional Layouts: Homes are designed around everyday moments, with layouts that support family time, quiet mornings, and relaxed evenings. The plans clearly separate social and private spaces to create a natural flow. Premium Features: The 4 and 5-bedroom villas feature roof lounges designed to elevate the living experience and provide residents with uninterrupted views across the master plan. The 5-bedroom villas also include a private lift. Villa Specifications and Layouts Salva offers a curated collection of 3, 4, and 5-bedroom villas, each designed to be a true retreat focused on privacy and tranquillity. 3-Bedroom Villa: Features a double-height entrance, open-plan living and dining spaces, and spacious service quarters. Average Built-Up Area: 3,400 sq. ft.

Investment Rationale and Market Context The launch of The Heights Country Club & Wellness represents a strategic investment opportunity, positioned at the entry stage of a new growth corridor in Dubai. Emaar's history demonstrates a consistent ability to transform new areas, with developments like Emirates Living, Arabian Ranches, and Dubai Hills Estate delivering significant capital appreciation for early investors. The project addresses a specific lack in the current market for new, luxury, mid-sized standalone villas with modern features like roof lounges in a unique, low-density community setting. By investing at this early stage, buyers are positioned to ride the wave of future growth as the entire area develops and matures. Key Insights and Quotes On Emaar's Impact: "when EMAAR builds the geography is transformed and this is a fact this is what we've seen in the last 25 to 30 years in Dubai's real estate market." On Market Positioning: "The Heights Country Club and wellness is the latest edition and it's a very unique theme that's never been done in Dubai." On Community Life: "At its heart, life comes alive through community. A welcoming social hub sets the tone, by shared rituals, morning coffees, and effortless encounters." On Architectural Vision: "in the Heights every detail is intentional. The architecture is contemporary but softened through whitewashed facades, terracotta textures and lush landscaping. It's elegant warm and deeply connected to nature." - Mariam, Architecture Team On Investment Timing: "it's always important to dive in at an entry stage. This is how you maximize the capital appreciation as the whole area grows in the next few years... The early birds will always benefit." THE SALVA THESIS: THE SCARCITY PREMIUM In the hierarchy of The Heights, Salva sits at the top. These units are not designed for the transient tenant; they are engineered for the C-Suite executive or the ultra-high-net-worth family establishing a permanent base in Dubai. The logic is simple: Land is finite. Salva offers the highest 'Land-to-Asset' ratio in the development. As South Dubai densifies over the next decade, these large, low-density plots will become the 'Gold Dust' of the district, commanding premiums unrelated to the construction cost. THE 5-BEDROOM GRAND VILLA The Salva 5-Bedroom Villa is a masterclass in 'Spatial Luxury.' Unlike smaller units where the focus is on room count, Salva focuses on room volume. The ceilings are higher, the hallways wider, and the glazing more expansive. The defining feature of Salva is the 'Back-of-House' infrastructure. Every 5BR unit features a pristine, open-plan Show Kitchen for social hosting, backed by a fully enclosed, industrial-grade Prep Kitchen (Scullery). The Sanctuary Suite: The Master Bedroom in Salva is not just a room; it is a self-contained apartment. It typically spans over 40 sqm, featuring a dedicated lounge area, a dressing room that rivals boutique stores, and a bathroom with a freestanding tub overlooking the private garden. MARKET COMPARISON: SALVA VS.

You are buying into the 'Golf Place' of South Dubai before the infrastructure creates the price floor. It is a pure arbitrage on location maturity. THE LOCATION: DEEP LUXURY While Serro is near the gates for convenience, Salva is located deeper within the master plan. This is intentional. Luxury demands silence. Being set back from the main roads and wrapping around the central water bodies and largest wellness parks ensures that Salva residents experience a resort-like tranquility that street-facing clusters cannot match.

    Amenities
personal experience
Clients who bought the 'Grand Villas' in Dubai Hills (Golf Place) in 2019 have seen values double. Salva offers the same trajectory: buy the best unit in the master plan early, and hold.
expected roi analysis
Salva is a long-term compounder. While yields may be 5-6%, the capital appreciation potential is 40%+ over the next decade as the land value re-rates to match Jumeirah Golf Estates levels.
personal recommendation
If your budget allows for the AED 12M+ bracket, Salva is the superior choice for wealth preservation. You are buying 'Scarcity'. There will be thousands of townhouses, but only a handful of Grand Villas facing the water. This is the asset that protects your capital against inflation.
target investor profile
HNWIs, Family Offices, and End-Users looking for a 'Forever Home' or a generational treasury asset.

Project questions and answers

  • question
    What is the primary difference between a Salva 5BR and a Serro 4BR?
    answer
    The difference is categorical. Serro is a 'Family Home'; Salva is a 'Mansion'. The Salva 5BR is a standalone unit (no shared walls) on a significantly wider plot. It features structural upgrades like 3.4m ceilings, provisions for an internal elevator, a triple-car garage, and separate quarters for a driver, which Serro does not offer.
  • question
    Can I build a swimming pool in my Salva villa garden?
    answer
    Yes, absolutely. Salva plots are specifically sized to accommodate substantial private pools (e.g., 8m x 4m or larger) along with decking and BBQ areas. The setback regulations in Salva are more generous than Serro, allowing for more elaborate landscape designs.
  • question
    Does the Salva 5BR come with a Driver's Room?
    answer
    Yes. Recognizing the lifestyle requirements of HNWI owners, Salva 5BR Grand Villas include an external Driver's Room (with en-suite) in addition to the internal Maid's Room. This allows for a full service staff complement without compromising family privacy.
  • question
    Are the Salva villas facing the water?
    answer
    A select number of Salva units are 'Premium Water Facing'. These units look directly onto the central decorative lakes and water streams of the master plan. These units command a premium of 10-15% over standard park-facing units but hold their value significantly better.
  • question
    What is the ceiling height in Salva Grand Villas?
    answer
    Salva features the highest ceilings in Phase 1, reaching up to 3.4 meters in the formal living and dining areas. This vertical volume is a key indicator of luxury property and contributes to the grandeur and cooling efficiency of the home.
  • question
    Is there provision for an elevator in the Salva units?
    answer
    Yes, the 5-Bedroom Grand Villas typically include a structural shaft provision for a private elevator. This makes the home 'Future-Proof' for aging residents or multi-generational families, significantly increasing its resale appeal.
  • question
    How many cars can I park in a Salva villa?
    answer
    Salva 5BR villas come with a triple-car covered garage (3 bays). Additionally, the driveway length usually allows for another 2-3 guest cars within the property boundary. This is a major upgrade from the 2-car standard in Serro.
  • question
    Are the kitchens fully fitted with appliances?
    answer
    Emaar provides high-end cabinetry and natural stone countertops in both the Show and Prep kitchens. However, the actual electrical appliances (ovens, fridges) are typically not included in villas, allowing the owner to select their preferred bespoke brands (e.g., Gaggenau or Sub-Zero) which fit the designated niches.
  • question
    How private are the Salva units?
    answer
    Extremely private. Unlike townhouses, these are standalone villas with setbacks on all four sides. Furthermore, Salva is located deeper in the community, away from the entrance gates and main traffic loops, ensuring minimal vehicular noise and foot traffic.
  • question
    What is the 'Rooftop Lounge' feature?
    answer
    Most Salva layouts utilize the G+2 structure (or accessible roof) to create a Rooftop Entertainment Lounge. This area often includes a specialized family room and an expansive outdoor terrace with panoramic views of the community skyline, perfect for winter entertaining.
  • question
    Is Salva a good investment for rental yield?
    answer
    Salva is a 'Capital Preservation' asset rather than a pure 'High Yield' asset. While the rental checks will be large (AED 500k+), the percentage yield might be lower (5-6%) compared to Serro. However, Salva offers higher security; tenants at this level sign longer leases and maintain the property better.
  • question
    Can I customize the façade of my Salva villa?
    answer
    No, Emaar maintains strict architectural control to ensure community harmony. However, Salva usually offers 2-3 distinct façade styles at launch (e.g., 'Contemporary', 'Modern', 'Classic') that you can choose from to personalize the exterior aesthetic.
  • question
    How big are the walk-in closets?
    answer
    The Master Suite in Salva features 'Boutique-style' walk-in wardrobes. In the 5BR layout, the dressing area is often a separate room with natural light, island bench space, and extensive joinery capacity, distinct from the sleeping quarters.
  • question
    What is the proximity to the Wellness Center?
    answer
    Salva wraps around the central amenity core. Residents likely have direct pedestrian access via the Greenways to the Central Wellness Center, meaning the spa and gym are essentially an extension of their backyard.
  • question
    Will Salva hold value during a recession?
    answer
    Historically, 'Prime' and 'Ultra-Prime' assets like Salva are the most resilient. In a downturn, flight to quality occurs. Investors move capital from B-grade apartments to A-grade villas. Scarcity (limited supply of 5BR units) protects the price floor.
  • question
    Does Salva offer 'Smart Home' features?
    answer
    Yes, Salva units come with an upgraded tier of Smart Home infrastructure compared to Serro, often including more advanced controls for lighting automation, climate zoning, and security integration at the gate level.
  • question
    What are the service charges for Salva?
    answer
    Service charges are calculated on the plot area. While the rate per sqft (AED 4-6) is the same as the rest of the community, the total bill will be higher due to the larger plot size. However, this pays for the premium landscaping and security that maintains the 'Luxury Enclave' feel.
  • question
    Is the Prep Kitchen ventilated?
    answer
    Yes, the Prep Kitchen (Scullery) is designed with heavy-duty extraction and ventilation systems to handle frying and heavy cooking without odors permeating the main house. It usually has direct access to the side service passage for grocery delivery.
  • question
    Can I resell Salva before handover?
    answer
    Yes, once 40% is paid. However, the Salva buyer profile is usually an end-user or long-term investor. The secondary market for these units heats up significantly closer to handover when buyers can physically walk the site and appreciate the volume and views.
  • question
    Why is the 5BR Salva considered a 'Legacy Asset'?
    answer
    A 'Legacy Asset' is one you never sell. It is a trophy home. Given the finite supply of land in Dubai and the expanding population, owning a 7,000+ sqft plot next to the world's largest airport is a position that will be virtually impossible to replicate in 20 years at this price.
