Dubai is one of the cities enjoying high demand for real estate. As a magnet for foreigners, and at prices reasonably lower than other similar high-profile destinations in the world, there is no surprise that the real estate business is booming.
More so, the economy has made it easy for the extremely affluent, and the average man to find something decent, beautiful, and worth the money. This and many more are some of the side attractions of the real estate business in Dubai.
Villas vs. High Rise Suites
Wondering if opting for a villa or an apartment in one of the skyscrapers would do? Please understand that there is no general rule. You can get apartments within a community with a great view; from one bedroom to even 5 bedrooms, and you can as well get a villa of only two (2) bedrooms. If you desire a more quiet and private life, then, you should opt for a villa as they often come with more privacy and are away from the noise of the main city.
Here are the best places to rent or buy a villa in Dubai.

What to Expect from a villa in Dubai
According to Ax Capital villas in Dubai are in high demand due to their unique layout and impeccable luxury. People who opt for villas often want to live a private life and stay away from the overactive centers. Dubai villas take the ordinary features and magnify them to depict opulence and splendor. Here’s something to expect in a villa in Dubai:
- A standalone building – it may be fenced or not, but most villas have an independent detached building. Each is often complemented with a walkway or lawn or both as the case may be. You can drive in without any interference, and your parking space is yours alone, so no need to source for space.
- A Private Pool – swimming pools are one of the side attractions in most high-profile homes in Dubai. Some apartments in sky-high buildings have private pools too but nothing beats a villa with its pool attached.
- Expensive Bathrooms: your day is never complete without a relaxing bath in the evening. Villas have exorbitant baths and relaxation sections within the home.
- A Game House: How about a game house, Tennis court, or mini-golf course. This allows you to chase away boredom without stepping a foot out of your property.
- A beachfront: Nothing beats a villa positioned right before or beside a beach. It means owners can easily plan an evening under the bare sky, or lounge there without losing a dime.
- State of the Art home Decors: Villas are one step ahead in aesthetics and designs. You are most likely to encounter a breathtaking view in a villa than at a joint building or community skyscrapers. Etc.
The list is endless. Due to how well furnished and designed villas are, they are usually quite costly with the least being valued at millions of AED. However, despite this, the report shows that the demand for villas in Dubai has increased since the Coronavirus lockdown because people now appreciate the more comfortable packages and luxurious homes.
