Serenity Mansions in Tilal Al Ghaf
Serenity Mansions is a Majid Al Futtaim development of standalone villas. It forms its own sub-community inside Tilal Al Ghaf, the master community the group is building in Dubailand, and every villa in it is specified with six or seven bedrooms.
The villas
Three base designs are named for the villas: Luna, Ayla and Ara. Whichever design an owner starts from, its outer materials and finishes can be changed.
The interiors are configurable too. Rooms on the list of options include a library, a cinema room, a spa, a gym, a study or office and a junior suite, along with a family lounge, a lounge on the roof, a gallery lounge and a wellness area.
The architecture specified for the villas pairs glazing that runs from floor to ceiling with an exterior in stone, aluminium and glass. A canopy shades the glazing when the sun sits low.
Majid Al Futtaim appointed Dutco Construction as main contractor. Its contract takes in both the villas and the infrastructure around them.
Shared facilities
Serenity Mansions draws on the facilities of Tilal Al Ghaf as a whole. Those listed for the community are a park and areas of open green space, landscaped walkways, separate jogging and bicycle paths, play areas, a basketball court, a fitness centre, and swimming pools for adults and for children.
Tilal Al Ghaf
Tilal Al Ghaf combines residential and mixed uses and lies between Al Maktoum International Airport and Downtown Dubai. Work on the community began in 2018. It sits at the junction where the D54 crosses Hessa Street (D61).
Its centrepiece is Lagoon Al Ghaf: swimmable, 70,000 square metres in area, with an open sand beach 400 metres long that is used for water sports. Smaller bodies of water are spread across the rest of the community. Walking trails run for 18 kilometres in total, and cycling and jogging tracks for a further 11 kilometres.
