New Villa Communities in the UAE (2026 Roundup)
Naimat Properties, New Launch Roundup
Villas usually make up a small share of the UAE’s monthly launch pipeline compared to apartments. So when several land in the same few months, it’s worth a closer look. This roundup covers new villa communities in the UAE that have launched or entered their latest phase recently. It covers six recent launches across Dubai and Sharjah: Nakheel’s Palm Jebel Ali release, Danube’s Greenz, and Binghatti’s Tilal Binghatti lead the way, alongside Ellington’s Al Yalayis 1, DAMAC’s second Islands phase, and Azizi’s Florence in Sharjah. Here’s what we know about each so far.
Palm Jebel Ali Frond F by Nakheel
Nakheel unveiled a limited collection of 44 direct beachfront villas on Frond F. It’s one of the last available beachfront releases on Palm Jebel Ali. Nakheel announced the launch on August 20, 2026. The villas split into two collections. The Beach Collection offers 5 to 6 bedrooms at roughly 7,500 to 8,500 sq ft. The Coral Collection offers 6 to 7 bedrooms at roughly 11,500 to 12,500 sq ft. All 10 architectural designs come from four firms: NAGA Architects, SAOTA, LW Design Group, and LOCI Architecture. Early listings put pricing from around AED 18.1 million on a 20/60/20 payment plan. Phased handover begins late 2026 and continues into 2027. However, Nakheel hasn’t confirmed official pricing yet, so treat the figure as indicative.
Greenz by Danube
Greenz is Danube Properties’ first move into townhouses and villas after a portfolio built almost entirely on apartments. Danube launched Greenz in April 2026 in Al Rowaiyah First, next to Dubai International Academic City. It offers 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses alongside 5-bedroom semi-detached and twin villas, starting from AED 3.5 million. True to Danube’s model, it runs on their familiar 1% monthly payment plan. The community also packs in more than 50 amenities across five hubs, including beach-inspired spaces, sports courts, and family zones. Handover falls in Q4 2029, based on the 36 to 40 month construction timeline.
This is a lower entry point than most new villa launches this year. That explains a lot of the early buyer interest.
Tilal Binghatti (Binghatti)
Tilal Binghatti is Binghatti Developers’ first dedicated villa and townhouse community. It sits between Dubai Academic City and Emirates Road in Al Ruwayyah, Dubailand. The project’s pre-launch event on May 6, 2026 drew over 10,000 visitors, with queues forming from the early hours. The official launch followed shortly after. Alongside 3 and 4-bedroom townhouses, the villa lineup includes 5-bedroom luxury villas starting from around AED 5.2 million. Each comes with private gardens and optional private pools. Reported payment terms follow a familiar structure: roughly 20% down, 50 to 60% during construction, and the remainder on handover. Binghatti expects construction to run 24 to 30 months from launch. If you’re comparing it to Palm Jebel Ali Frond F above, Tilal Binghatti’s villa pricing is a fraction of the cost. That’s a big part of why its launch drew such a crowd.
Ellington Al Yalayis 1
Most buyers know Ellington Properties for its boutique apartment buildings. Now it’s entering low-rise living with Al Yalayis 1. This mixed community of apartments, townhouses, and standalone villas launched in Q1 2026. The villas come in 4 and 5-bedroom configurations ranging from roughly 4,000 to 6,000 sq ft. That’s part of a wider community of more than 4,500 residences. Ellington hasn’t disclosed pricing yet, listing it as “enquire for pricing.” The payment plan runs 70% during construction and 30% on completion, and buyers can resell once they’ve paid 30%. It’s the longest runway on this list, with handover set for Q2 2030 onwards. The amenity package, including a crystal water body, wellness facilities, and landscaped parks, targets end-users rather than short-term flips.
DAMAC Islands 2
DAMAC’s second Islands phase in Dubailand launched in November 2025. It’s still actively selling into 2026, so it’s a bit older than the rest of this list. Even so, it’s worth including given how much stock remains. It offers 4, 5, and 6-bedroom townhouses and villas across eight themed clusters. The largest 6-bedroom villas run to roughly 6,276 sq ft, priced from around AED 9.51 million. Entry pricing for the community as a whole starts from AED 2.75 million for a 4-bedroom townhouse. It runs on a 20/55/25 payment structure, or a 50/50 plan under current sales incentives. DAMAC has set handover for June 30, 2030. The development leans heavily on wellness and nature themes, with 45-plus planned amenities including an eco-park, spa, and zipline park.
Azizi Florence, Sharjah
Azizi Developments’ Florence project marks a notable expansion into Sharjah. It spans roughly 30 million sq ft and combines apartments, townhouses, and villas across 3, 4, 5, and 6-bedroom configurations. The 4-bedroom villas start at a 3,363 sq ft plot with a 4,349 sq ft built-up area. That scales up to 4,843 sq ft plots for the 6-bedroom option. Planned amenities include landscaped parks, cycling and walking paths, swimming pools, sports courts, and retail. Azizi hasn’t yet confirmed official pricing, payment plans, or a handover date for Florence. This one is still worth watching rather than acting on immediately.
Quick Comparison of New Villa Communities in the UAE
Here’s how these six launches stack up side by side:
- Palm Jebel Ali Frond F (Nakheel): from ~AED 18.1M, beachfront villas, handover late 2026 to 2027
- Greenz (Danube): from AED 3.5M, villas and townhouses, handover Q4 2029
- Tilal Binghatti (Binghatti): from AED 5.2M, luxury villas, handover in roughly 2 to 2.5 years
- Al Yalayis 1 (Ellington): pricing on request, villas and townhouses, handover Q2 2030 onwards
- DAMAC Islands 2: from AED 2.75M, villas and townhouses, handover June 2030
- Florence (Azizi, Sharjah): pricing not yet confirmed, villas and townhouses, handover date pending
Between the six, DAMAC Islands 2 has the lowest overall starting price. Tilal Binghatti is the more affordable dedicated villa option. Palm Jebel Ali Frond F stands out for anyone after true beachfront living. Ellington and Florence are the two to watch, since neither has confirmed pricing yet.

Tilal Binghatti brings an affordable dedicated villa with a fast-moving launch behind it. Ellington’s Al Yalayis 1 adds a more established name to the segment.
