Forest residence at the pulse of nature
Ghaf Woods is Dubai's first "forest living" residential community, developed by Majid Al Futtaim in the heart of Dubailand near Global Village. The neighborhood comprises 11 individual clusters - District, Capria, Lacina, Serra, Cilia and more - nestled in dense green spaces where trees outnumber residents. Here, ecological awareness, luxury and community combine in a modern forest environment.
Special features & character:
Forest architecture & microclimate: over 40,000 trees create a tree-to-resident ratio of over 1:1, lower the temperature by up to 5 °C and improve the air quality by around 20 %.
Units & styles: 1-3 bedroom residential units, including duplex penthouses, with two design lines (Radiance & Twilight), areas from approx. 60 to over 280 m², many with service rooms or private pools.
Cluster character: each cluster has its own pools, fitness rooms and forest views - a true community concept.
Shopping & leisure:
Nature center & activities: Mountain bike loop (3.5 km), jogging and walking trails, a forest adventure center, therapeutic gardens and farm-to-table areas promote health and nature connection.
Recreation & Wellness: Spacious pools, spa and wellness areas, gyms and communal zones ensure an active and relaxed lifestyle.
Education & health:
Cluster amenities: schools, a mosque and sports facilities such as skate parks and multi-sports fields are included in the master plan - ideal for families.
Regional infrastructure: Renowned schools and clinics are located nearby, including Royal Grammar School Guildford, Dunecrest American School and several health centers.
Location & transport links:
Strategic location: Located directly on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, only 3 minutes to Global Village, 10 minutes to Miracle Garden and approx. 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai and DXB.
Mobility concept: Car-free inner areas with underground parking, comprehensive footpaths and cycle paths, access roads only on the peripheral zones - for a decelerated lifestyle.
Development & outlook:
Completion & outlook: First clusters such as Serra and Cilia are already on sale, handover from the third quarter of 2027; full completion expected by summer 2027.
Future vision: Ghaf Woods is designed to be one of Dubai's ten most visited lifestyle communities - offering unique investment opportunities and luxury living close to nature.
