What Tilal Al Ghaf is like
Majid Al Futtaim's lagoon-centred villa community off Hessa Street, near Dubai Sports City. Largely sold through, so most buying today is resale.
Tilal Al Ghaf is the flagship residential community of Majid Al Futtaim, the group better known for its malls. It sits off Hessa Street close to Dubai Sports City and is planned for more than 6,500 freehold homes, from townhouses to waterfront mansions, arranged around Lagoon Al Ghaf, a 70,000 sq m swimmable lagoon with sand beaches.
The community has been sold in named neighbourhoods. Elan (townhouses), Aura and Harmony (villas) came first and are occupied. Alaya, Elysian Mansions and Lanai Islands followed at much higher price points, then Plagette 32, Serenity Mansions and Amara. Majid Al Futtaim described Amara, 116 twin villas announced in January 2024, as the final development planned for the site; Bo Monde, a set of 13 mansions, has been marketed since as the latest release.
That matters for anyone arriving now. When we checked Property Finder's new-projects section on 12 November 2026, every Tilal Al Ghaf neighbourhood was marked sold out by the developer, with stock available only through resale. Buying here today generally means buying from an existing owner, either a completed home or an off-plan contract being assigned, rather than reserving from a launch.
Day to day, this is a car-based family suburb. The developer lists 18 km of walking trails and 11 km of cycling track, a central park and The Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai inside the community. The nearest metro station is at Jumeirah Golf Estates on the Route 2020 line, a drive away. Dubai International Airport is about 30 minutes by car in normal traffic.
Suits

- Buyers who value a finished master plan
- Resale purchasers of completed homes
- High-budget buyers of waterfront mansions
In its favour
- Planned for more than 6,500 freehold homes around a 70,000 sq m swimmable lagoon
- 18 km of walking trails and 11 km of cycling track, according to the developer
- The Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai operates inside the community
- Single master developer with a retail and community-management background
- Earlier neighbourhoods are handed over and lived in, so the place can be inspected
Worth knowing
- No developer stock was listed on Property Finder on 12 November 2026: purchases are resale, with resale pricing and the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee payable in full
- Later phases (Plagette 32, Amara, Serenity Mansions, Bo Monde) are still under construction, so parts of the site will see building work for some time
- No metro station within the community; the nearest is at Jumeirah Golf Estates, reached by car
- Mansion-tier homes have a thin pool of buyers and can take a long time to resell
- Service charges (the annual fee owners pay for upkeep) cover a lagoon, beaches and extensive landscaping; ask for the current published rate before committing
