Emaar The Oasis Vs. The Heights Country Club & Wellness

The Oasis – Approx. 100 Million sq.ft. (2,295 acres)

The Oasis is one of the largest villa-based masterplans ever announced in Dubai. Its enormous land bank allows very low-density clusters, long stretches of lagoon edges, and extremely large internal green corridors. A significant chunk of this land is dedicated to water bodies, parks, and amenity zones.

The Heights Country Club & Wellness – Approx. 81 Million sq.ft. (~1,860 acres)

While also massive in scale, The Heights is smaller than The Oasis by roughly 23–25%. The size, however, is still large enough to support multi-phase rollouts, multiple townhouses and villa typologies, and a complete wellness-centred district.

Why acreage matters:

• Larger land = more open spaces and privacy potential
• More acreage = possibility for larger plot sizes
• Bigger master plans support long-term price maturity because they evolve over 10+ years
• Density patterns directly affect rental yield, resale liquidity, and lifestyle value perception

Outcome:

The Oasis is the bigger, lower-density, ultra-luxury play.
The Heights is a wellness-oriented, lifestyle community for families.

EMAAR The Oasis:

• Ultra-luxury villas and mansions
• 4 to 7+ bedroom configurations
• Large waterfront plots
• Customised or premium architectural styles
• Limited number of units per cluster
• High privacy and gated sub-communities

This is built around waterfront luxury, not mass housing. The product category aligns more with global UHNW buyers, second-home seekers, and long-term villa investors.

The Oasis – Resort, Lagoon, Ultra-Low Density

• The community revolves around:
• Man-made lagoons
• Canal-style water networks
• Resort amenities
• Large private gardens
• Luxury retail pockets, boutique F&B
• A holiday-home style environment

The theme delivers privacy, space, and exclusivity. It creates a “destination inside a destination” that competes with high-end villa districts like Emirates Hills or District One.

The Heights – Country Club, Wellness, Social Living

• The Heights prioritises:
• A central country club
• Wellness trails and fitness loops
• Community gardens
• Multi-sport courts
• Social and family activities
• Active lifestyle planning

The value here comes from daily-use wellness infrastructure rather than trophy prestige.

The Oasis:

• Much lower unit density
• More land per home
• Larger green buffers
• Homes positioned for privacy over clustering

Lower density directly correlates with higher resale premiums over time because supply of similar villa types remains limited.

The Heights:

• Medium density planning
• Clusters built around community features (parks, clubhouses)
• Optimized townhouse rows for efficiency

Medium density increases liquidity and rental absorption but lowers exclusivity

The Oasis (Emaar)

• NMC Specialty Hospital (Dubai Investments Park) – 12–15 minutes
• Mediclinic Parkview Hospital –20–22 minutes
• Aster Clinic, Arabian Ranches –15–18 minutes

The Oasis has access to several hospitals within a 15–25 minute radius due to its position near established Dubailand, Motor City, and Arabian Ranches zones.

The Heights Country Club & Wellness

• NMC Specialty Hospital (Dubai Investments Park) –15 minutes
• Healthcare hubs in DIP –10–12 minutes
• Schools-area clinics near South View School –15–20 minutes

The Heights is closer to Dubai Investments Park healthcare facilities, providing slightly quicker access to clinics and speciality centres.

EMAAR The Oasis

• South View School –10 minutes
• Royal Grammar School Guildford –12–13 minutes
• Dubai British School –13–15 minutes
• Dwight School Dubai –15 minutes
• Jebel Ali School –16 minutes
• Bright Riders School –13 minutes
• Durham School Dubai – 15 minutes

• Jebel Ali School- 15 minutes
• Ranches Primary School – 16 minutes
• Fairgreen International School – 15–17 minutes
• Nurseries (Cherry Tree Nursery)- 11–12 minutes

The Oasis 

Most restaurants are in nearby hubs such as Motor City, Studio City, and Al Barari:

• The Farm, Al Barari- 15–18 minutes
• Gazebo (IMPZ / Dubailand area) – 10–12 minutes
• Pepe’s Piri Piri, Motor City- 12–15 minutes
• Allo Beirut, Motor City- 12–15 minutes
• China Bistro, Studio City- 15 minutes

Because The Oasis is villa-focused and low-density, residents often use nearby districts for dining.

The Heights Country Club & Wellness

The Heights has dining options within the wider community zone and Dubai Investments Park:

• In-community cafés and dining bars- within 5 minutes inside the district
• Restaurants in DIP- 5–10 minutes
• Cafés and eateries in Dubai South- 10–12 minutes
• Expo City leisure dining- 15–20 minutes

The Heights offers slightly closer everyday dining because of nearby commercial clusters.

Both communities sit within Dubai’s newer suburban growth belt, positioned around upcoming highways, schools, and daily life infrastructure.

General insight:

• The Oasis is typically positioned slightly deeper into the resort belt of the suburban arc.
• The Heights is generally closer to the urban-suburban transition zone, making it more practical for daily commuters.

This means The Heights will generally outperform in rental demand because commute times often dictate tenant decisions.

Meanwhile, The Oasis attracts long-term lifestyle buyers who are not driven by commute convenience.

The Oasis Buyer:

• Ultra-high-net-worth individuals
• Long-term end-users
• International second-home owners
• Investors looking for trophy capital appreciation
• Buyers who care about exclusivity more than yield

The Heights Buyer:

• Local and regional families
• Long-term UAE residents
• Rental investors
• First-time villa buyers moving out of apartments
• Users who value wellness amenities for daily life

Dubai’s villa segment has outperformed apartments in recent years. However, villa subcategories behave differently.L

The Oasis – ROI Pattern:

• ower gross yields because of high capital value
• Larger reliance on capital appreciation
• Liquidity is slower due to higher transaction ticket sizes
• Performs well in bullish cycles but corrects faster in downturns

In short:

Oasis = high risk / high reward, long-horizon asset.

The Heights – ROI Pattern:

• Family villas and townhouses historically attract stable rental demand
• Gross yields generally closer to city averages
• Larger pool of buyers = better resale liquidity
• Works well in both up and down cycles

In short:
Heights = stable yield, high absorption, balanced long-term asset.

The Oasis:

Price appreciation for ultra-luxury villas is typically driven by:

• Land scarcity
• Low density
• Waterfront premium
• International buyer appetite

If Dubai continues attracting global wealth migration, The Oasis could see outsized long-term growth.

The Heights:

Growth here is driven by:

• Increasing family population
• Community-scale housing demand
• Value-for-money villa entry points
• Wellness and country-club lifestyle becoming mainstream

The Heights could outperform in mid-market stability and rental income, making it ideal for steady long-term investors.

The Oasis – Main Risks:

• High entry price slows liquidity
• Vulnerable to global economic shifts
• Higher service charges may affect yield
• Capital appreciation depends on sustained UHNW demand

The Heights – Main Risks:

• A larger number of homes can create internal competition
• Rental yields depend on school and family demand, staying strong
• Wellness theme must remain well-maintained to retain value
• Outperform in mid-market stability and rental income, making it ideal for steady long-term investors

Choose The Oasis if you:

• Want extreme privacy
• Prefer lagoon-heavy, resort-style living
• Accept lower yields but expect long-term capital growth
• Are buying a primary home or a lifestyle asset
• Are comfortable with higher service charges
• Think of property as a 10–15+ year wealth asset

Choose The Heights if you:

• Want strong rental absorption
• Prefer wellness, sports, club life
• Need practical family living
• Want lower service charges
• Value liquidity and stable long-term ROI
• Want an asset that performs consistently across market cycles
