Lanai Island at Tilal Al Ghaf
Lanai Island is a man-made island within Tilal Al Ghaf, the lagoon community Majid Al Futtaim is developing in Dubailand. It is the first of the two private islands drawn into the Tilal Al Ghaf masterplan, and the opening phase of a collection the developer calls the Island Estates, placed under its Signature Living name.
This brief is for owners of a plot or mansion on the island, for buyers looking at one on the secondary market, and for anyone comparing Lanai Island with other villa projects in the community. It covers what the Dubai Land Department register records, what the island is specified to hold and where it sits.
The mansions
The island is laid out for mansions of between four and eight bedrooms, given the design name "Edge". Each is specified over two storeys with a basement beneath, and the plots average 25,500 sq ft.
Lanai Island shares its facilities with Tilal Al Ghaf as a whole. The community amenities named for it are a swimming pool and a pool for children, a fitness centre, a basketball court, a park with play areas and open green space, landscaped walkways, and paths for jogging and cycling.
Tilal Al Ghaf
Work on Tilal Al Ghaf, a mixed-use community by Majid Al Futtaim in Dubailand, began in 2018. It is built around Lagoon Al Ghaf, a swimmable lagoon with white sand beaches used for water sports, and further water bodies sit across the masterplan. Its neighbourhoods are linked by 18 km of walking trails, plus 11 km of tracks for cycling and jogging, and each one is set around a themed park with mosques, shops, restaurants and cafes close at hand.
The community lies where Hessa Street (D61) crosses the D54, between Downtown Dubai and Al Maktoum International Airport.
Fixed places near the island include Victory Heights Community Park at 1.4 km, The Els Golf Club at 1.8 km, the course at Jumeirah Golf Estates at 2.3 km and Trump International Golf Club at 3.1 km. Victory Heights Primary School is 1.3 km away, and Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai is at 1.2 km. Of the neighbouring communities, Victory Heights is about 2.4 km away and Jumeirah Golf Estates about 2.5 km.
DLD register status
The Dubai Land Department register, read 14 November 2026, carries Lanai Island as project 2498. Its status field reads ACTIVE, labelled under construction, and its progress figure is 60.56% as at 9 September 2026. The projected completion date in the register is 30 September 2026, a date that had passed when the register was read on 14 November 2026.
The register places the project in the Al Hebiah Fourth area, which is the land district name; Tilal Al Ghaf is the community the register gives.
