Five minutes from Dubai Miracle Garden and backed by swimmable lagoons, The Acres by Meraas is a nature-led villa community in Dubailand 642 standalone 3, 4, and 5-bedroom villas starting from AED 5.05 million, each with a private garden, private pool, and direct access to the Halo Loop Park and Edible Garden. Developed by Meraas the creator behind Bluewaters and City Walk with a 10% booking amount, 10/55/35 payment plan, and Q1 2028 handover.
Meraas The Acres is a standalone villa community within Dubailand centrally positioned between Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road (E611), adjacent to the Plantation Equestrian and Polo Club. Meraas, a subsidiary of Dubai Holding, is the developer behind some of Dubai's most distinctive urban addresses: Bluewaters Island, City Walk, La Mer, and Boxpark. The Acres marks Meraas's entry into the master-planned villa community segment a deliberate departure from the developer's urban portfolio, bringing the same quality of thinking and execution to nature-led suburban living. Phase 1 comprises 642 villas. The community holds LEED v4.1 Cities and Communities certification for its planning and design the first Dubai villa community to achieve this standard.
The Acres offers standalone 3, 4, and 5-bedroom villas across two floor structures G+1 and G+2. Three-bedroom villas start from 3,048 sq.ft (from AED 5.05M), 4-bedroom villas from 4,087 sq.ft (from AED 6.79M), and 5-bedroom villas from 6,001 sq.ft (from AED 10M). Every villa includes a private swimming pool, private landscaped rear garden, dedicated family zone, double-height living spaces, and parking for two vehicles. Floor-to-ceiling windows and open-plan layouts are standard throughout. The architecture draws from stone, wood, and glass a material palette designed to reflect the natural surroundings rather than contrast them. There are no shared-pool configurations here: every home owns its own water.
The Acres is built around approximately 50% green space parks, swimmable lagoons, and curated gardens that are not decorative but actively usable. The Halo Loop Park is the community's central green spine, encircled by thematic garden clusters: the Edible Garden, a sensory garden, forest-inspired recreational zones, and water features. These gardens encircle the main park, creating a layered landscape that changes character as residents move through it. Swimmable lagoons a facility found in very few Dubai communities give residents open-water access without leaving the master plan. A community mosque, nursery, primary school, retail zone, and clubhouse are planned within the boundary. This is a community designed for families who want to stay home.
The Acres starts from AED 5.05 million for a 3-bedroom villa a price point that puts it above mid-market Dubai suburbs but materially below what comparable Meraas-quality product in established communities commands at resale. Dubailand villa prices have appreciated consistently as infrastructure has expanded and global buyer confidence in the area has grown. Units valued at AED 2 million or above which covers every configuration at The Acres qualify for the UAE's 10-year Golden Visa. Rental yields for 3-bedroom villas in adjacent communities such as Arabian Ranches 2 run at approximately AED 160,000 per year, establishing a demand benchmark for the district. The UAE applies 0% capital gains tax and 0% income tax on rental returns. RERA escrow protection secures construction-phase payments.
The Acres is 642 villas in Phase 1. Meraas has not historically launched and held inventory its projects sell through allocation, and price steps follow each release.

The Acres is built around an amenity philosophy that is uncommon in Dubai's villa segment: rather than a checklist of features, the community is designed as a living landscape. Swimmable lagoons give residents open-water access within walking distance of every villa. The Halo Loop Park encircles the master plan, connecting garden clusters the Edible Garden, sensory trails, and forest recreation zones into a continuous green circuit. Each villa brings its own private pool and landscaped garden. The community clubhouse, retail promenade, and planned school and nursery within the boundary mean residents have limited reason to leave. This is nature-led living designed to be genuinely inhabited, not photographed.
The Acres sits at the intersection of Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street and Emirates Road (E611) in Dubailand a location that has become one of Dubai's most strategically valuable suburban corridors as the city's 2040 Urban Master Plan channels growth westward. The community is positioned 5 minutes from Dubai Miracle Garden and borders the Plantation Equestrian and Polo Club, 10 minutes from Global Village. Key business hubs Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Autodrome, and Dubai Studio City are within 15 minutes. Both international airports are within 30 minutes. The road network here is exceptional for a villa community: four major highways connect to every part of Dubai without using internal-city roads.
