Dubai's Beverly Hills — custom villas, signature golf, ultra-discretion.
Overview
Emirates Hills is Dubai's historic ultra-premium villa district, designed by Emaar from 2003 around the Montgomerie golf course. Each 1,500 to 5,000 m² plot hosts a custom 4 to 12-bedroom villa, often designed by a private architect for a specific owner. No towers, no shops — only secured private residences.
The Emirates Hills market is extraordinarily narrow: 600 villas total, rare transactions (10–20 per year), long liquidity (6–18 months to sell at price). It's the very definition of a Dubai trophy asset, more exclusive than a Palm Frond villa.
The Emirates Hills buyer is very different from the Marina or Downtown buyer: ultra-high net worth, family office, post-exit billionaire or long-term tax-optimised resident. Entry tickets: AED 35M minimum, median around AED 80–100M, records above AED 250M.
Why buy here
Buyer profile
International family office, post-exit billionaire, dynasty seeking a primary residence or global trophy hub. The Emirates Hills buyer pays cash, reasons in 15-25-year wealth preservation, and prioritises absolute privacy over any yield or fast-resale consideration.

The minimum entry ticket is AED 35M (approx. USD 9.5M) for a 4-5 bedroom villa to renovate. For a recent custom villa with pool and tennis, median around AED 80–100M. Signature lake-front or golf-front Montgomerie villas start at AED 150M and reach AED 300M+ on records.
Only 10–20 transactions per year on the district's 600 villas — one of the narrowest markets in the world. Resale typically takes 6–18 months, making it strictly a long-term investment. Buyers and sellers are almost exclusively represented via private advisors in off-market.
No. Emirates Hills has been entirely built out since 2010. No new development will be created. All acquisitions are on the secondary market, either as-is or with a demolition / rebuild project (allowed under Emaar conditions). Recent new villas typically come from full redevelopments of existing plots.
Exclusively through private network: private banks, family offices, specialised advisors. Top-tier villas (lake-front, golf-front) sell in strict pre-listing — never on portals. Our Private Office accesses this inventory through a network of local advisors established for over 10 years in Dubai.
