Dubai has just raised the bar for ultra-luxury living. Welcome to Discovery Dunes, the UAE’s first members-only residential community—and a game-changing new enclave that’s already redefining what elite real estate looks like in the region.

Launched by the globally renowned Discovery Land Company, this ultra-private development is nestled in the heart of Dubai South’s Golf District, spanning a staggering 26.1 million square feet (600 acres). With just 340 exclusive residences planned, Discovery Dunes is more than a community—it’s a lifestyle statement for the world’s wealthiest.

Demand Surges as Plots Reach $50 Million

In a city already booming with prime property demand, Discovery Dunes is setting records of its own. Since its soft launch, prices have surged by 25%, with 60% of Phase 1 already sold, mostly through word-of-mouth among European, Middle Eastern, and American ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs).

It’s no surprise, either. Dubai’s real estate market has outpaced traditional luxury hubs like New York and London, and with the emirate welcoming more millionaires and billionaires than ever before, demand for hyper-exclusive homes has skyrocketed. According to recent data, Dubai is now home to 81,200 millionaires, including 237 centi-millionaires and 20 billionaires—a staggering 102% increase over the past decade.

An Ultra-Private, Design-Led Oasis

Discovery Dunes isn’t just about opulence—it’s about privacy, design, and a highly curated lifestyle. The community blends its desert surroundings into every detail of its architecture and landscaping, offering low-density living in an environment shaped for family connection and tranquility.

Founder Mike Meldman describes it best: “Discovery Dunes is unlike anything else in the Middle East. It’s where innovation, luxury, and privacy converge in a setting that honours Dubai’s culture and natural beauty.”

Each plot is crafted for individuality:

• Estate Land Plots: From 36,747 to 73,119 sq ft with panoramic golf views.
• Signature Land Plots: 27,878 to 51,681 sq ft near the community’s world-class amenities.
• Lifestyle Land Plots: Starting at 22,317 sq ft—ideal for modern families seeking space and convenience.

Homes here include the awe-inspiring Dune Villas, designed by world-renowned firms Olson Kundig and Champalimaud Design, ranging from 5,300 to 15,000 sq ft of bespoke luxury.

Dubai’s First Truly Private Golf Experience

At the center of it all lies something no other Dubai development can offer: a private, members-only golf course, masterfully designed by Tom Fazio. There are no tee-time restrictions, a rarity in the region, and the course is equipped with TrackMan tech, luxury comfort stations, and a clubhouse worthy of global acclaim.

It’s golf reimagined—social, serene, and seamlessly integrated into the lifestyle fabric of the community.

A Lifestyle Like No Other

Discovery Dunes is more than just a place to live—it’s a private resort-style village crafted for every generation. From an elite equestrian centre, surf rider park, and Adventure Zone, to a wellness center, organic farm, and even a kids’ club, every element of the development is purpose-built for holistic living.

And if that wasn’t enough? There’s also:

• A dedicated concierge team for travel, dining, and lifestyle needs
• A private helipad for seamless access
• Close proximity to private jet terminals at Dubai World Central

Members also gain access to Discovery Downtown, a private city club located in the Dubai Edition Hotel, complete with a golf simulator, luxury dining, and breathtaking views of the Burj Khalifa.

Strategic Location + Skyrocketing Value

Positioned within Dubai South, Discovery Dunes sits at the epicenter of the city’s most ambitious expansion. With Al Maktoum International Airport set to become the world’s largest, and AED 272 billion earmarked for infrastructure investment between 2025 and 2027, the area is poised to become Dubai’s next powerhouse growth corridor.

Over 100,000 new homes are expected to be needed in this zone alone over the next 10 years—making early entry into Discovery Dunes not just a lifestyle upgrade, but a smart investment.

The Future of Wealth Migration Starts Here

With UAE financial wealth expected to surge by $500 billion by 2026, Discovery Dunes arrives at the perfect moment. It’s more than a luxury development—it’s a vision for the future of global living where privacy, nature, service, and investment potential converge.

If you’re seeking a property that does more than impress—it inspires, protects, and grows with your legacy—then Discovery Dunes may just be your ultimate destination.
