CANAL-SIDE VILLAS IN EMAAR'S THE OASIS MASTER COMMUNITY
Palmeira Collective is a villa cluster within The Oasis by Emaar, a villa community built around a network of water canals, swimmable lagoons, lakes and parks on the western edge of Dubai. The neighbourhood is planned around interconnected waterways and green open space, with its own beaches, schools, retail and community facilities.
Emaar's cluster map gives the collective a single villa type — the four-bedroom villa — in three façade styles: Classical, Contemporary and Chamfered. The plan set publishes two configurations. The villa without a basement is laid out over ground, first and second floors with a car port, entry terrace, balcony and driver's room, totalling 5,627.26 sq ft (522.79 sq m). The villa with a basement runs over basement, ground and first floors with a roof level, terraces and balconies and a carport, totalling 7,879.72 sq ft in the Classic treatment, 7,914.49 sq ft in the Contemporary and 8,099.30 sq ft in the Chamfer. The plans mark the plot's pool and landscaping as owner-provided rather than included.

Total areas per the Emaar Palmeira Collective floor plans; each total reconciles exactly against the component floor areas printed on the same sheet. The no-basement plan is published once and is identical across all three sheets. Emaar publishes no prices or per-style unit counts for this cluster: its map numbers 38 plots, 381 to 418, across the Sunset and Sunrise sub-areas, but states no project total. Starting prices are PropSearch-derived and per-villa pricing is confirmed on request.
THE INVESTMENT CASE
Palmeira Collective is an off-plan, standard-tier brief: the angle below is qualitative. Where the live Dubai Land Department transaction feed for The Oasis is available, current pricing and PSF trends will be shown alongside — those figures are the basis for any comparison, not the estimates below.
DEVELOPER: EMAAR, ONE OF DUBAI'S MOST ESTABLISHED DEVELOPERS
Palmeira is developed by Emaar, the developer behind many of Dubai's landmark destinations. Emaar reported revenue of AED 49.6 billion for 2025 and, with a proven delivery track record, has delivered over 125,600 residential units across Dubai and other global markets since 2002. Its portfolio includes Burj Khalifa and Dubai Mall. For investors, this scale and delivery history provide a meaningful measure of confidence at the off-plan stage.
LOCATION: A CANAL-SIDE VILLA COMMUNITY ON DUBAI'S WESTERN EDGE
The Oasis is an Emaar master community organised around water canals, swimmable lagoons, lakes and landscaped parks, with beaches, schools, retail, mosques and sports facilities planned within the neighbourhood. Emaar's Palmeira Collective cluster map sets out the amenities serving the cluster: an entrance and guard house, community centre, swimmable lagoon, urban canal, school, retail, mosque, sports courts, fitness stations, playgrounds, pocket seating areas and The Gardens Park. The January 2026 masterplan map places the cluster alongside Palmeira 2, Palmeira 3, Palmiera, Mareva and Mareva 2, with Mirage, Lavita, Address Villas Tierra and Palace Villas Ostra in the wider community. It sits close to major road links, including Sheikh Zayed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street (D54). The setting is low-density and villa-led, aimed at buyers seeking space and a waterside environment rather than a high-rise district.
APPLICABLE STRATEGIES
- Pre-handover resale — a buyer commits capital ahead of the November 2026 completion; The Oasis is an actively traded Emaar community, which can give an exit route before handover. Actual premiums depend on market conditions at the time and should be checked against live DLD data.
- Buy-and-hold for rental — large detached villas in an amenity-rich master community support family long-let demand; yields to be confirmed against current rental evidence.
- Owner-occupation — a primary residence in a low-density, canal-side villa community.
RISKS & WATCHPOINTS
- Off-plan completion risk — delivery is scheduled for November 2026; timelines can move, and returns depend on the market at handover, not today's.
- Villa entry point — from AED 8.5 million, this is a high-ticket segment with a narrower buyer pool than apartments; liquidity should be weighed accordingly.
- Service charges — large villa plots and shared water and park amenities carry service charges that affect net yield.
- Supply — The Oasis has a substantial villa pipeline across multiple phases; concurrent handovers can affect near-term resale and rental pricing.
- Pool and landscaping not included — the Emaar floor plans mark the plot pool as "pool by owner" and note that the landscape design shown is illustrative, with the actual design to be by the owner. Budget for these separately.
- No Emaar price list or schedule — Emaar has not published a price list, unit total, payment plan or handover date for this cluster; the AED 8.5 million entry price, the August 2023 construction start and the November 2026 completion are PropSearch-derived and should be verified before committing. The PropSearch page cited covers the wider Palmiera release at The Oasis, so its figures may not be specific to this cluster.
SOURCES

- Emaar — Palmeira Collective cluster map: villa type ("4 BR villa"), the Classical, Contemporary and Chamfered styles, the Sunset and Sunrise sub-areas, plots 381–418, and the cluster amenity schedule (entrance and guard house, community centre, swimmable lagoon, urban canal, school, retail, mosque, sports courts, fitness stations, playgrounds, pocket seating areas, The Gardens Park).
- Emaar — The Oasis masterplan map, January 2026: neighbouring clusters.
- PropSearch — Palmiera The Oasis project page: https://propsearch.ae/dubai/palmiera-the-oasis (starting price AED 8.5M, August 2023 construction start, November 2026 handover). A PropSearch "4 & 5-bedroom" mix and a 254-unit total were dropped: Emaar's own cluster map gives a single four-bedroom villa type and publishes no unit total, and the PropSearch page covers the wider Palmiera release rather than this cluster.
