With demand for family homes gaining strength in Dubai, leading property developer Emaar has launched an exclusive collection of elegantly designed villas located along an 18-hole championship golf course in Dubai South.

Emaar South, the 7-sq-km development by Emaar Properties and its joint venture partner Dubai South, is one of the sought-after residential destinations in the city in Dubai South, located only minutes from the Al Maktoum International Airport, and near the site of Expo 2020 Dubai.

With more than 75,000 residences, in a mix of tiered townhomes, townhouses, villas and apartments, Emaar South is envisaged as a smart neighbourhood.

It will be interconnected through tree-lined boulevards, walking & bicycle trails, and a well-linked public transport network including autonomous vehicles for clean transport, said the developer in a statement.

The new Golf Links neighbourhood is the first-of-its-kind villa community in Emaar South, it added.

Emaar said Golf Links is set apart by its focus on family living, offering only four and five-bedroom golf villas that overlook the greens, have extensive backyards, and assure a serene lifestyle away from the bustle of the city.

Following the successful launch of Urbana and Golf Views in Emaar South, which brings the first villa-like-house experience to Dubai, Golf Links has been thoughtfully designed to meet the lifestyle aspirations of large families, it added.

Appealing to the discerning customers and those with a passion for golf, the new neighbourhood has several value-added amenities including a recreation centre and family park.

Assuring privacy and security, the gated neighbourhood will particularly appeal to those who will become part of the vibrant Dubai South district, it stated.

Speaking at the launch, Ahmad Al Matrooshi, the managing director, said: "Golf Links in Emaar South is one of the prestigious villa developments tailored for families and golf enthusiasts."

"As the new hub for aviation and logistics, Dubai South is set to become a thriving residential and commercial district, and we are offering a truly special lifestyle experience with Golf Links. Every aspect of the community - from its design and architecture to the layout and amenities – is being created to deliver a home of choice for families who benefit from a central location and a serene setting," he added.

The G+1 four-bedroom villas in Golf Links have a built-up area of 275 sq m while the five-bedroom homes are spacious at 356 sq m, said the statement from Emaar.

Featuring living and dining areas, open-kitchen with built-in cabinets and breakfast counter, walk-in wardrobe cabinets in the master-bedroom and built-in wardrobe cabinets in all others, the residences will have covered parking for two vehicles.

The five-bedroom villas will also feature family lounge areas in the ground and first floor, while a powder room, house-help room and storage room are standard for all. Adding to the lifestyle choice of residents, all villas have private yards and garden areas, and the provision for swimming pools, said the developer.

The neighbourhood amenities also include fitness areas, swimming pool, children’s play area, barbeque area and a multipurpose room, among others. With 24x7 security and maintenance support, residents become part of a neighbourhood that upholds the highest standards of safety and well-being.
