Dubai’s elite villa enclave, Emirates Hills, has recorded its third nine-figure sale of the year, with a mansion closing at Dh260 million. The deal translates to an extraordinary Dh18,489 per sq. ft., according to GCP-Reidin data — underlining the unmatched appeal of this exclusive community.
A Year of Record Sales
This transaction follows two headline-grabbing deals:
Dh425M mansion sale, setting a new record for Emirates Hills
Dh367M villa bought by UK steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal
Since April 2024, multiple homes in Emirates Hills have crossed the Dh100M+ mark, cementing its status as the crown jewel of Dubai’s residential market.
Scarcity Creates Value
With only ~600 villas in total, and an average of just 8–9 homes actively listed (at ~Dh75M each), Emirates Hills offers severe scarcity. Emaar recently released an additional 20 plots, sold between Dh2,500–Dh3,000 psf — instantly absorbed by demand. Off-market deals remain a common practice, with private sales brokered directly by top agents to UHNW clients.
Market Signal for Agents
This Dh260M sale further validates Dubai’s position as a magnet for ultra-wealthy buyers. At the half-year mark of 2025, Dubai has already seen record global sales of $10M+ homes. Alongside Emirates Hills, Jumeira Bay Island and Palm Jumeirah continue to draw billionaires and family offices.
For agents, this is the clearest sign yet: Dubai’s super-luxury segment isn’t cooling — it’s accelerating.
