The Woods Abode is a multi building residential complex planned by Sobha Realty within The Woods, the apartment enclave at Sobha Sanctuary. Launch pricing starts from AED 1 M. Sobha Realty has so far publicly released two towers inside The Woods, The Woods Retreat and The Woods Serenity, and The Woods Abode has not yet appeared on the developer’s own project listing.
Sobha Realty is the developer of The Woods Abode. The group began in 1976 as an interior decoration firm in Oman founded by PNC Menon and now builds across the UAE, Oman and India. Sobha Realty runs 15 masterplans in Dubai, including Sobha Hartland with more than 11,000 residents and Sobha Siniya Island. Construction runs through a fully backward integrated model that keeps design, structural engineering, facade manufacturing and interior fit out in house, which is why finishing standards stay consistent from one Sobha community to the next.
The Woods Abode belongs to Sobha Sanctuary, a 37.4 million square foot masterplan launched in January 2026 to mark the Sobha Group’s fiftieth anniversary. Total planned supply runs to roughly 20,000 homes, about 18,000 apartments and 2,000 villas. Villa clusters carry the names The Willows, The Grove, The Greens and The Brooks. Apartments group under The Woods, and The Woods Abode is a planned complex inside that enclave.
Sobha Sanctuary is under development as of August 2026, delivered in phases with first community handovers expected from Q4 2029 and the full plan spread across four to eight years. Confirmed masterplan facilities include a hospital, two international schools, a community mall, a wellness centre and a central destination park. Sports infrastructure covers football grounds, running tracks, padel courts and a skate park. A 6 km Leisure Loop links four green corridors into a 9 km perimeter wellness loop, with more than 50,000 trees planned across the site and about half the land held as open space.
Sobha Realty releases The Woods in stages rather than as a single tower. The Woods Retreat came first, priced from AED 999,000 up to AED 1.81 million across 539 to 963 sq. ft. The Woods Serenity followed as the second release, priced from AED 1.04 million to AED 1.85 million across 539 to 961 sq. ft. Both carry 2029 handover. The Woods Abode is tracked as a further complex in the same enclave, which means buyers should expect a comparable 1 and 2 bedroom format and should confirm the release directly with Sobha Realty before committing funds.

One point worth stating plainly. The Golden Visa property route commonly applies from AED 2 million, and entry pricing across The Woods enclave runs from AED 999,000 with the top published unit at AED 1.85 million. A single apartment in this enclave at published prices does not reach the Golden Visa threshold. Buyers who need residency from this purchase should either combine holdings or look at the villa clusters instead. Confirm current thresholds with UAE authorities or a licensed conveyancer before committing.
Buyers should also independently verify Sobha Realty’s RERA project registration and escrow account details for this specific complex before transferring funds, since the project has not yet appeared on the developer’s public listing.
Floor plans for The Woods Abode have not been released as of August 2026. The two announced releases in the same enclave run 1 and 2 bedroom layouts between roughly 539 and 963 sq. ft., which is the closest published guide to what a comparable complex would offer. Sobha Realty publishes a downloadable brochure for The Woods on its official project page for buyers who want architectural detail from the source.
Project specific amenities for The Woods Abode have not been published. Across The Woods enclave, Sobha Realty confirms a pool deck, yoga and meditation deck, serenity garden, outdoor fitness zones, co-working space, nature themed kids play area, reflexology path, submerged seaters, sun loungers, a nursery, seating nooks and a library. These are enclave level facilities and count separately from the masterplan facilities listed above.
The Woods Abode is located in Sobha Sanctuary with access to Al Ain Dubai Road and Jebel Ali Lehbab Road. Sobha Realty’s own published drive times for The Woods place Dubai Rugby Sevens at 5 minutes, Dubai Outlet Mall at 8 minutes, Al Maktoum International Airport and Downtown Dubai at 30 minutes each, and Dubai International Airport at 35 minutes. Buyers should note that the developer’s figures for Downtown and DXB run longer than the community level estimates published across most listing sites.
