Salva by EMAAR at The Heights Country Club & Wellness is the first villa cluster released within The Heights Country Club & Wellness Emaar Properties' newest wellness-led master community, positioned in Dubai South. The development covers 81 million square feet with a total investment value of AED 55 billion, making it one of Emaar's largest master plans to date. Salva delivers 3, 4, and 5 bedroom villas across landscaped low-density clusters, and joins Emaar Serro and Serro 2 as the first three releases within the master plan. Emaar Properties, founded in 1997, is the developer behind Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa, Dubai Hills Estate, Dubai Creek Harbour, Emaar South, and The Oasis a track record relevant for both brand confidence and on-time delivery on a portfolio that spans more than 12 countries.
Sizes are designed for family comfort over density. 3-bedroom villas offer 3,340 to 3,463 sq.ft built-up area on plots of around 4,847 sq.ft. 4-bedroom villas range between 4,302 to 4,312 sq.ft built-up on plots up to 5,143 sq.ft. 5-bedroom villas spreads 5,760 to 5,884 sq.ft built-up on plots up to 6,762 sq.ft. Architecture reflects Mediterranean-inspired modern design with clean facades, soft palettes, travertine and bronze accents, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Open-plan living connects through full-height glazing to private gardens. Bedrooms are positioned in Emaar Salva away from living areas for enhanced privacy, featuring built-in wardrobes and neutral-finished bathrooms. Select units include private pools with Tom Dixon fixtures and rooftop terraces.
The Heights Country Club & Wellness operates at master-plan rather than tower scale. The 81 million-square-foot footprint allocates 1.3 million square metres roughly 25% of the developed area, to open space, including landscaped greenways, tranquil water bodies, meditation gardens, yoga lakes, and scenic ponds. A central Country Club and Wellness Centre anchors the community as the social and fitness hub, programmed for fitness classes, holistic health, and community events. The mobility infrastructure is the headline feature: a planned 38-kilometre network of cycling and jogging tracks woven through the community to encourage active outdoor living. Daily-needs infrastructure covers schools, hospitals, mosques, and approximately 40,000 square metres of retail space within the master plan boundary.
Salva by EMAAR at The Heights Country Club & Wellness offers a wellness-first lifestyle with premium amenities for every age. Residents enjoy meditation gardens, yoga lakes, a holistic wellness centre, private beach-inspired spaces, crystal lagoons, resort-style pools, and landscaped parks. Active living is supported by a state-of-the-art gym, yoga lawns, a planned 38 km network of jogging and cycling tracks, plus padel, tennis, and basketball courts. The community also features children's play areas, BBQ zones, retail and dining outlets, a shopping centre, a school, healthcare facilities, and a mosque. Located just 10 minutes from Expo City Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport, it combines convenience with connectivity. Villas priced above AED 2 million also qualify buyers to apply for the UAE's 10-Year Golden Visa, subject to government regulations.
The investment fundamentals are anchored on three structural advantages. First, scale: 81 million square feet under Emaar's master planning is an asset that will define the surrounding district for the next decade. Property values in Dubai South have risen 8 to 12% annually as expansion milestones are confirmed. Third, scarcity: Salva is the first villa cluster within an 81M sq.ft master plan early-phase pricing reflects launch positioning ahead of multi-year build cycle appreciation. Projected gross rental yields for villas in the area run 6% per annum, with capital appreciation supported by limited large-format villa supply within 10 minutes of an international airport. There is 0% capital gains tax and 0% income tax on rental returns. Emaar's escrow-protected payment schedule removes construction-phase risk.
Salva by EMAAR operates on an 10:70:20 plan with one of the most accessible booking thresholds across Emaar's villa portfolio: just 10% on booking. Buyers pay 10% on EOI booking, then 70% across construction milestones from 20% completion through to 80% completion (in 7 staggered installments), with the final 20% balance due on handover in Q3 2030. The structure spreads 90% of the purchase price across approximately 4 years of construction, keeping monthly capital deployment manageable for both end-users and NRI investors deploying capital gradually. Select early sales offers may include zero commission and 4% DLD fee benefits confirm current launch terms with the Dubai Housing team.
Salva is the launch cluster of an 81 million-square-foot master plan the price band will not stay at AED 6.86 million through the next phase release, and Serro and Serro 2 are already trading in parallel.

Yes, Emaar Salva is considered an attractive investment opportunity in 2026 due to its location within The Heights Country Club & Wellness, an 81-million-square-foot master community by Emaar.
