Forest Living and Wellness Property Projects in Dubai

DISTRIKT brings high-rise living to Ghaf Woods through four towers positioned within the 35,000-tree forest. The buildings sit on elevated podiums with parking at ground level, placing apartments, rooftop pools, and retail spaces at tree-canopy height. Residents access a 3km+ walking trail called the Forest Loop that connects all Ghaf Woods phases through shaded woodland.

Apartments come in two design palettes: Terra uses earth tones and grounded materials, while Horizon features lighter, airy finishes. All units include 3-meter ceilings, smart home systems, and integrated appliances. The 30,000+ sqft amenity package includes cinema lounges, spinning studios, rock climbing walls, co-working spaces, and rooftop pools with forest views.

Forest biology functions as advertised. The tree canopy hosts 20 bird species, maintains air 20% cleaner than typical Dubai developments, and creates the 5°C temperature drop through natural shading and moisture release.

Avelia's 133 villas sit within The Valley's wadi-inspired landscape—terraced plateaus, water features, and meadows designed to mimic natural desert valleys. Villa sizes range from 4,346 to 7,857 sqft on plots up to 8,883 sqft.

Architecture emphasizes floor-to-ceiling glass, double-height spaces, and large outdoor areas. The community includes Central Park, Terrace Trails for nature walks, a Canopy Walk with elevated views, plus Falaj Fountain and plateau viewpoints. Golden Beach provides swimming, and the Town Centre offers cafés and retail.

A 25,000 sqm sports hub includes courts and a skate park. The Valley connects to Dubai-Al Ain Road, placing Downtown Dubai 20 minutes away.

Maravelle places 96 residences across four low-rise buildings in Ghaf Woods' inner forest zone. Each unit includes membership to Maravelle's wellness club, which offers forest meditation sessions, spa facilities, and wellness programming beyond standard gym access.

The apartments and duplexes use natural stone, marble, timber flooring, and porcelain finishes. High ceilings (3 meters), floor-to-ceiling windows, and private balconies or terraces connect interiors to the surrounding forest. Two design concepts are available: Lumora (serene, light materials with green marble) and Marwood (warm timber with red marble). Select duplexes include private pools.

The homes feature circadian lighting technology that replicates natural daylight, advanced air filtration, and low-emission building materials designed around wellness principles.

Nad Al Sheba Gardens delivers landscaped parks, a central lagoon, and contemporary architecture across multiple phases, Phase 11 being the latest release in Meraas' low-density master community. The villas and townhouses feature hardwood floors, porcelain countertops, and aluminum finishes. Large gardens, covered terraces, and floor-to-ceiling windows create indoor-outdoor flow.

Community amenities include an Events Lawn and Amphitheatre for outdoor performances, a Fitness Node with pools and sports courts, and a 3km jogging track through landscaped sections. Lagoon parks sit in interconnected pockets behind villas, with sloping pools that merge with grass areas.

Location minutes from Downtown Dubai, Meydan Racecourse, and Business Bay gives quick access to international schools (North London Collegiate School, GEMS, Hartland) within 15-20 minutes.

Mangrove Residences places three apartment towers within Expo City's car-free zone, walking distance from Al Wasl Plaza, the Women's Pavilion, and Jubilee Park. Parking exists in consolidated areas away from residential zones. The community uses walking, cycling, and autonomous mobility for daily movement.

The apartments (including townhouses and loft apartments) feature floor-to-ceiling windows of at least 3.15 meters and balconies extending at least 14% of unit size. Three floors of podium gardens and sky terraces overlook landscaped grounds and Expo City landmarks.

Amenities include running tracks, community lounges, multiple pool types (lap, spa, children's with waterfalls), and 15-minute access to schools, clinics, retail, and dining. The Route 2020 Metro connects directly to Dubai Marina, Downtown, and Business Bay.

Terra Gardens adds 560 apartments (1-3BR plus townhouses) to Expo Living through L-shaped buildings creating natural courtyards. Rooftop padel courts, yoga gardens, BBQ courtyards, and outdoor cinemas connect through landscaped green spaces.

Interiors use warm sandy tones, natural wood veneer, and engineered stone with smart home systems and energy-efficient design. The development sits 5 minutes on foot from Expo City pavilions and 10 minutes by car from Al Maktoum International Airport. Major highways (Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Emirates Road, Al Khail Road) provide Dubai access, while Expo Metro Station enables car-free commuting.

The wider Expo Living master plan includes five residential clusters totaling 3,555 units, all connected to Dubai Expo Mall (under construction).

Expo Valley Views uses eight low-rise buildings in a terraced skyline design. The apartments in the first phase (Dana) feature open layouts and balconies capturing green views. Buildings sit amid landscaped gardens and water features within the Expo Valley district.

The development accesses a nature reserve with gazelles, native flora, and a lake. "Folded earth" topography creates a microclimate that lowers temperatures and reduces noise. Amenities include landscaped green spaces, outdoor fitness zones, jogging tracks, and children's play areas. Car-free pedestrian infrastructure connects to Al Wasl Plaza and Terra Pavilion.
