Our view · Covering The Oasis since the master plan was unveiled in June 2023
How we read The Oasis.
We started writing about The Oasis the morning Emaar unveiled the master plan in June 2023. We expected a rush into the first phases, where prices and payment plans are most attractive, and that is what happened: the first release drew more than 2,000 cheques within 24 hours.
Since then Emaar has released the community in clusters: Palmeira (2023–24), Mirage (April 2024, 5- and 6-bed villas on the water), the Lavita mansions, the Address- and Palace-branded villas (2025) and Mareva 1 & 2 (December 2025), which took the community past 70% launched. By late 2025 we put The Oasis at AED 1,800–2,200 per sq ft, with a growing resale market in Palmeira and Mirage. Palmeira 1 is the first to hand over, now expected in mid 2027.
- 01
Demand from day one
The first release of 240 villas received over 2,000 cheques within 24 hours (July 2023). Later releases have been close to overbooked at the EOI stage.
- 02
Villas on the water
A villa-only community built around crystal lagoons, with lagoons designed both for swimming and for the landscape. The first time since Emirates Living and Arabian Ranches that Emaar has built villas directly along water.
- 03
Half the entry price of the established addresses
We have described The Oasis as a larger, modern Jumeirah Islands selling at about half the price, and at roughly half the entry price of Dubai Hills and Emirates Hills.
- 04
Price per foot has moved
Mirage launched at AED 1,550–2,000 per sq ft in April 2024. By October 2025 we put the community at AED 1,800–2,200 per sq ft.
- 05
Limited, and mostly sold
About 3,000 homes are planned. By November 2025, 50–55% was sold across seven clusters; Mareva 1 & 2 took the community past 70% launched.
- 06
A resale market is forming
1,031 transactions in 2025 to 1 November, 50 of them secondary. Resale is growing in Palmeira and Mirage, the first clusters to complete.
