About the Project
Sobha Sanctuary — Dubai's Most Ambitious Villa Community
Sobha Sanctuary is a AED 50 billion masterplan spanning 37.5 million square feet in Dubailand, Dubai.
Located off Al Ain Road in the Al Yufrah area, Sobha Sanctuary was launched by Sobha Realty to mark the group's 50th anniversary.
It is the single largest project ever undertaken by Sobha Realty — one of the UAE's most trusted developers.
Over 60% of the land in Sobha Sanctuary is dedicated to green space. This includes more than 50,000 trees, a 6 km lagoon, a 9 km wellness loop, and a 6 km Leisure Loop.
Approximately 2,200 freehold villas sit within this low-density environment — a ratio rarely seen at this scale in Dubai.
Sobha Sanctuary is fully self-contained. Residents have access to a hospital, two international schools, a community mall, wellness centre, padel courts, football grounds, skate park, and 20 km cycling track — all within the community boundary.
"Sobha Sanctuary is not just a residential address — it is a living, breathing ecosystem designed to restore the rhythm of everyday life."
