Dubai will soon be home to a residential community that offers a serene and wellness-inspired lifestyle. Abu Dhabi’s Aldar Properties is launching its first residential development in Dubai – Haven by Aldar.
This premier community aims to provide residents with an exclusive retreat and a suburban living experience.
Nestled in one of Dubai’s well-located suburbs, Haven by Aldar is designed to create an environment where residents can pursue an active lifestyle. The centerpiece of the development is a treehouse community center situated within an expansive central park, complete with a stream.
The master plan of Haven focuses on interconnectedness, with a network of shaded pathways connecting various amenities and social areas.
Spanning almost 1 million square meters, Haven offers 462 residential units, ranging from three- to six-bedroom homes, including townhouses and premium villas.
The development’s strategic location opposite Al Habtoor Polo Resort provides easy access to key business and lifestyle hubs in Dubai, such as Downtown Dubai and DIFC, as well as popular attractions like Global Village and Dubai Mall. Major highways connecting Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are also within convenient reach.
Haven by Aldar goes beyond traditional residential offerings by prioritising the well-being of its residents. The community is targeting LEED Gold and Fit-Well 3 Star certifications, making it the first community in the UAE to hold both certifications.
A wide range of fitness and wellness-focused amenities await residents, including a meditation pavilion, zen gardens, a tranquility pool, nature trails, exercise areas, and a yoga studio. Additional services such as healthy meals on demand, house care, landscaping, and travel concierge are also available.
