About The Acres Estates Phase 3 Dubailand Dubai
The Acres Estates Phase 3 is the high-end end of Meraas's lagoon community in Dubailand - five, six and seven-bedroom standalone villas in two design collections, Ivory and Amber, inside the same master plan of swimmable lagoons and the Halo Loop Park.
Prices start at AED 14.5 million (about Rs 37.34 crore), on a plan of 10% at booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 55% through construction and 35% at handover in August 2028. Every UAE project we track sits in the Dubai section; the house market generally is on our villas and townhouses page.

Price, and the number nobody publishes
| Item | What is known | AED | In rupees (at 25.75) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 3 entry | 5, 6 and 7-bedroom villas, Ivory and Amber | From 14,500,000 | About Rs 37.34 crore |
| Phase 3 floor areas | Not published by any source we could read | - | - |
| The Acres, 7 BHK reference | About 10,911 sq ft saleable, 14,516 sq ft plot | From 20,000,000 | About Rs 51.50 crore |
| The Acres, entry villa | 3 BHK, about 3,084 sq ft | From 5,090,000 | About Rs 13.11 crore |
That second row is the problem. At AED 14.5 million, a price without a square footage cannot be evaluated - it cannot be compared with the wider community, with Dubailand's AED 600 to 1,400 per sq ft band, or with anything at the same price on Palm Jumeirah or in Dubai Hills. The community's seven-bedroom reference of about 10,911 sq ft is a useful anchor, but it is a different phase and a different product. Ask for the built-up area and the plot area in writing, against the exact collection and layout you are shown, and do it before you discuss price rather than after.
Payment plan and total cost
10% at booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 55% in instalments through construction, 35% at handover. Our note on Dubai payment plans covers the structure.
| Stage | Share | AED on the entry villa | Rupees (at 25.75) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Booking | 10% | 1,450,000 | About Rs 3.73 crore |
| DLD registration fee | 4% | 580,000 | About Rs 1.49 crore |
| During construction | 55%, to 2028 | 7,975,000 | About Rs 20.54 crore |
| At handover | 35% | 5,075,000 | About Rs 13.07 crore |
| Oqood admin and knowledge fee | Fixed | About 3,040 | About Rs 78,000 |
| Total | - | About 15,083,040 | About Rs 38.84 crore |
About AED 2.03 million leaves your account in the first few weeks, before a wall is built. At this price point that is normal, and it is exactly why the counterparty matters more on this page than on any cheaper one in this batch. Sixty-five per cent of the total is paid before the house exists.
Service charges are not yet published. Dubailand villas run about AED 3 to 8 per sq ft a year, which on a house of this size is a real annual figure - AED 8 per sq ft on a 10,000 sq ft villa is AED 80,000. A lagoon community sits at the top of that band, because the water is maintained water. Ask for the projected budget before your handover instalment.
Ivory and Amber
Meraas has split this phase into two collections rather than repeating one elevation across it. Ivory is the nature-led treatment: textured materials, expansive architecture and a deliberate blurring of indoor and outdoor space. Amber is the grander of the two, with more pronounced architectural elements and premium materials throughout.
They are separate design languages rather than finish upgrades, which is worth knowing before you are shown one and quoted the other. See both, and ask which collection the AED 14.5 million entry belongs to - at this level the difference between the two will not be trivial.
Handover, and how to check it
August 2028 is about two years out and is quoted as a specific month rather than a vague quarter, which is more precise than most Dubai launches manage. Precision is welcome but it is not evidence, so get the date written into the SPA with the consequences of a delay spelled out.
The better check is available on site. This is the third numbered phase of The Acres, so phases one and two are already under construction and visibly ahead of yours. Go and look at how they are actually progressing - that is the most direct evidence you will get about whether August 2028 holds, and it is not something a buyer in a first-phase project can do at all. Meraas has a consistent on-time record, with Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park among its recent handovers.
Location and connectivity
Dubailand is a belt of sub-communities along Al Ain Road (E66), between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). Arabian Ranches III and DAMAC Hills are the established villa neighbours; Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure are the district's landmarks; Dubai Hills Mall and Downtown are reached on E311.
There is no metro here, so this is a car-dependent address, and the sub-communities around this one are still filling in - worth weighing at a AED 14.5 million ticket, where buyers elsewhere in the city get an established neighbourhood for the money. The master community is covered on our page for The Acres by Meraas, and the comparable large-house communities we track in this belt are Haven by Aldar and Cassia Villas at The Wilds.
About the developer
Meraas was founded in 2007 and has been part of Dubai Holding since June 2020, which makes it state-linked rather than private - the single most relevant fact when AED 2.03 million leaves your account before construction is visible.
Its delivered work is the most recognisable in this batch: City Walk (2016), La Mer (2017), Bluewaters Island with Ain Dubai (2018), Madinat Jumeirah Living, and the Bulgari Resort and Residences on Jumeira Bay. More than 80 million sq ft delivered in Dubai and over 3,500 residential units, with recent handovers including Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park. At the AED 14.5 million level the Bulgari work is the reference that matters: Meraas has delivered genuinely high-end product before, which is not true of every developer selling at this price.
For Indian buyers
Dubailand is freehold, so an Indian citizen owns the house outright with a title deed from the Dubai Land Department, and the UAE charges no annual property tax. The Golden Visa is a formality at this level - the entry is more than seven times the AED 2 million threshold, and on an off-plan purchase the equity actually paid is what counts, so the line is crossed with the booking payment and the first instalments.
The remittance side needs real planning. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian may remit USD 250,000 per financial year, and AED 14.5 million is about USD 3.95 million. A purchase at this level cannot be funded from LRS allowances alone in any sensible timeframe, so it typically involves several people, several financial years, or funds already held outside India. Take advice before you book, not after. Rent, if you let the house, is taxable in India in your hands with the standard 30% deduction on the annual value - though at 4.5 to 6% gross, which our rental yield by area note sets out, letting is unlikely to be the point.
Pros
- high-end villas from a state-linked developer with a delivered high-end record, including the Bulgari Resort and Residences
- Handover in August 2028, quoted as a month rather than a vague quarter
- Two distinct collections rather than one repeated elevation
- Inside an established master community with swimmable lagoons - the setting is not speculative
- Earlier phases are already on site, so you can inspect real progress before committing
- Villa service charges run far below apartment levels per sq ft
- Clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold seven times over
Cons
- AED 14.5 million is the highest entry on these pages, with about AED 2.03 million due at booking
- No floor areas published for this phase, so the price cannot be converted into a rate
- 65% falls due before the house exists
- 4.5 to 6% gross on this much capital is not an investment case
- Service charges on a house this size will be significant, and they are unpublished
- The high-end resale market in Dubailand is thinner than Palm Jumeirah or Emirates Hills
- No metro, and the surrounding sub-communities are still filling in
Who this is for
Buyers at the AED 15 million level who want a lagoon-side family estate rather than a beachfront apartment; families who want space from a developer with delivered quality behind it; and anyone who will inspect the earlier phases on site before committing.
Who should look elsewhere
Investors of any kind, buyers who need a published square footage before committing, and anyone who wants a liquid high-end resale market - Dubailand is not Palm Jumeirah.
Our verdict
This is the most expensive page in the batch and the shortest on hard numbers, and that combination deserves naming. What is known is good: Meraas is part of Dubai Holding, has delivered more than 80 million sq ft in Dubai including the Bulgari Resort and Residences, and quotes a specific month - August 2028 - inside a master community whose earlier phases are already on site and inspectable. Ivory and Amber are distinct design languages rather than finish packages, which suggests a project that was thought about rather than assembled. What is not known is the floor area, and at AED 14.5 million a price without a square footage is not a price you can evaluate. So the sequence is simple. Get the built-up and plot areas in writing for the exact villa and collection. Walk phases one and two, because how they are progressing is the best evidence available on whether August 2028 holds. Then decide. Buy this as a family estate. At 4.5 to 6% gross on AED 14.5 million, do not buy it as an investment.

FAQs
What does a villa at The Acres Estates Phase 3 cost?
From AED 14.5 million, about Rs 37.34 crore, for five, six and seven-bedroom villas across the Ivory and Amber collections. Phase 3's floor areas are not published, so ask for the built-up and plot areas against the specific layout before comparing the price with anything else.
When is handover?
August 2028 - about two years out, quoted as a specific month. Get it written into the SPA with the consequences of a delay spelled out, and note that the earlier phases are already on site to inspect.
What is the payment plan?
10% at booking plus the 4% DLD fee, 55% through construction and 35% at handover. On the entry villa that is AED 1,450,000 to book and AED 580,000 to the DLD - about AED 2.03 million in the first few weeks.
What is the difference between the Ivory and Amber collections?
Ivory is nature-led: textured materials, expansive architecture, indoor-outdoor living. Amber is grander, with more pronounced architectural elements and premium materials. They are separate design languages rather than finish upgrades, so see both.
How does this differ from The Acres itself?
The Acres is the master community - three to five-bedroom villas from about AED 5.09 million, sized roughly 3,084 to 6,001 sq ft, around swimmable lagoons. Estates Phase 3 is the high-end phase within it: five to seven-bedroom houses from AED 14.5 million. Same lagoons, different product, different buyer.
What are the service charges?
Not yet published. Dubailand villas run about AED 3 to 8 per sq ft a year, which on a house this size is significant - AED 8 per sq ft on a 10,000 sq ft villa is AED 80,000 a year. A lagoon community sits at the top of the band.
Does a villa here qualify for the Golden Visa?
Several times over - the entry is more than seven times the AED 2 million threshold. On an off-plan purchase only the equity actually paid counts, so the line is crossed with the booking payment and the first instalments.
Who is Meraas?
A Dubai developer founded in 2007, part of Dubai Holding since June 2020, with more than 80 million sq ft delivered in Dubai - City Walk, La Mer, Bluewaters Island, Madinat Jumeirah Living and the Bulgari Resort and Residences. At this price point the Bulgari work is the relevant reference.
Can an Indian citizen buy here?
Yes, but the funding needs planning. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian may remit USD 250,000 a financial year, and AED 14.5 million is about USD 3.95 million - so a purchase at this level typically involves several people, several financial years, or funds already held outside India. Take advice before booking.

Is It Right For You?
Steady rental demand and active resale in Dubailand make it a sensible medium to long-term hold. Get a good entry price and the maths works better.
Larger layouts, amenities and a settled neighbourhood suit families who actually want to live here, not just invest.
A RERA-registered project from a known builder is the safer pick when buying from abroad. We handle paperwork and updates remotely.
Schools, parks, security and open areas keep day-to-day family life easy.
Green areas and nearby healthcare help — ask us about lower-floor units for easier access.
Is The Acres Estates Phase 3 Duba... Worth Buying?
Yes, for the right buyer. Early pricing now, with value as it nears handover. Just compare the exact unit and price with one nearby option first.
Short answer — yes, it is worth a serious look if you want a home in Dubailand from a builder with a real track record. Buying early gets you a better price than ready stock, with the upside as it nears handover. It is not the cheapest option in the area, so it fits buyers who value the builder, location and amenities over the lowest sticker price. Compare the exact unit with one nearby project, lock the live cost sheet with us, and you will know if it is right for you.
- →You want a long-term home or hold from a builder with a track record
- →You are fine waiting for handover in return for better pricing
- →Location, build quality and amenities matter more to you than the lowest sticker price
- →You need the cheapest option in the area
- →You need to move in right away
- →You are chasing quick, short-term resale gains
Handover Timeline
Handover is August 2028 - about two years out, and quoted as a month rather than a quarter, which is more precise than most Dubai launches manage. That precision is worth noting but not worth trusting on its own: get it written into the SPA, with the consequences of a delay spelled out. Meraas has a consistent record of delivering on time, and recent handovers include Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park. This is the third numbered phase of The Acres, so the earlier phases will be visibly ahead of yours on site - which is genuinely useful, because you can go and look at how the first phase is actually progressing before you commit to the third.
Investment Analysis
Why people look at The Acres Estates Phase 3 Dubailand Dubai for investment is simple — it is in Dubailand, and this part of Dubailand has seen steady demand from both end-users and investors. Good road links, nearby offices and schools usually keep rentals healthy and resale active. Since it is still under construction, entry prices are lower than ready stock, which is what early buyers count on. That said, treat any price or return figure as a guide and confirm the current cost sheet with us before you decide.
Price Analysis
The starting price of about AED 14.5 M (about Rs 37.34 Cr) is in line with what Dubailand asks today for this kind of project. What you actually pay shifts with the floor, view, facing and unit size, plus any offer running at the time.
Treat the listed figure as a starting point, not the last word. Ask us for a unit-wise cost sheet so you see the real, all-in number before you decide.
Payment Plan Explained
Dubai off-plan is sold on a split written as two numbers. A 10/90 or 20/80 plan takes that much on booking and the rest at handover, which suits a buyer arranging a mortgage at completion; a 60/40 is the common structure, with 10% to 20% on booking, 40% to 50% across construction milestones and 40% at handover; a 70/30 puts more in the middle and leaves a smaller final cheque. A post-handover plan spreads the balance over one to three years after you have the keys, so rent can help pay it. Two questions settle whether a plan is as good as it looks: is the construction portion tied to milestones or to dates - milestones are better, because they stall if the building stalls - and what does the sale and purchase agreement say happens if you miss an instalment. Your money sits in a DLD-approved escrow account and is released against construction.
Which one suits you depends on whether you are buying to live in or to invest, and on your loan. We can lay out the exact plans on offer and what each costs you.
Hidden Charges to Budget For
Beyond the base price, budget 6% to 7% of the price in fees. The Dubai Land Department takes 4% on every transfer; registration at a trustee office is AED 4,200, or AED 2,100 under AED 500,000; the title deed is AED 580, or AED 40 to register an off-plan contract on Oqood; and a resale usually carries an agency fee of about 2% plus 5% VAT, where a purchase direct from the developer normally carries none. There is no GST and no stamp duty, and the sale of a home does not attract VAT. A mortgage adds about 0.25% of the loan plus AED 290 to register, an arrangement fee and a valuation. After handover the running cost is the service charge - roughly AED 10 to 32 per sq ft a year for apartments and AED 14 to 40 for villas - with no annual property tax on top.
None of this is truly hidden once you see a full cost sheet, but it adds up. Ask us for the complete break-up so the final figure is clear from day one.
Maintenance Cost
Maintenance is billed per square foot every month and depends on the amenities and upkeep level — bigger clubs and more facilities usually mean a slightly higher rate.
We will share the current maintenance rate for this project, along with the one-time maintenance deposit, when you reach out.
Rental Yield
Residential rental yields in Dubailand are high by world standards: Dubai's citywide gross sits at about 6% to 8%, with the mid-market communities - JVC, Arjan, Dubai Silicon Oasis and Dubailand - running 8% to 9.5% and the premium addresses, Downtown and Palm Jumeirah, 4% to 6%. Net is 1.5 to 2.5 points below gross once the annual service charge and about 6% management are paid, so a 9% headline in a mid-market tower settles near 6%, and a 5% in Downtown nearer 3.5%. Ask for the building's own service charge per sq ft before you trust any yield quoted to you.
If rental income is your main aim, tell us your budget and we will point you to the configurations that rent out fastest here.
Resale Potential
Resale demand in Dubailand is generally active because the corridor stays in demand with both end-users and investors. A known builder and a good location usually make a unit easier to sell later.
Resale value still comes down to the exact unit, floor and the market at the time, so buy at a sensible price and the resale side tends to look after itself.
Handover Risks
Since it is still being built, there is always some chance of a timeline shift. The plus point is that RERA-registered projects carry committed dates and clear compensation rules for delay.
Before booking, check the RERA possession date and the delay clause. We will also share the builder's track record on delivery so you go in with eyes open.
Bank Loan Availability
Home loans here are generally easy to arrange, since leading banks usually approve known builders and RERA-registered projects. Banks typically fund up to roughly 75 to 90 percent of the cost based on your profile.
We can connect you with loan partners, help with eligibility and paperwork, and line up a competitive interest rate.
Construction Updates
The project is currently under construction. The build stage and finishing change month to month.

Locality Review
Dubailand is a settled Dubai address. Day-to-day life is easy here - schools, clinics, supermarkets and a mall or retail strip are inside or beside the community, and the road grid connects to Downtown, DIFC, Dubai Marina and both airports. Freehold ownership, no annual property tax and a large tenant pool are what hold demand. It suits a buyer who wants an established community rather than a plot in a district still being built.

Location Map
Nearby Landmarks & Connectivity
Connectivity is indicative. Ask us for exact distances and drive times.
The main thing to weigh is this — aED 14.5 million is the highest entry on these pages, and AED 2.03 million goes out at booking. It is not a deal-breaker for most buyers, but worth factoring in. Tell us your plan and we will say honestly whether it matters for you.
For the long term, Dubailand has the basics investors look for — steady demand, improving roads, and a healthy mix of end-users and tenants. A home from a known builder in this corridor usually holds value and has room to grow over a 5 to 10 year horizon. It suits patient, long-term buyers more than anyone chasing a quick flip. The entry price you get decides how good the return looks, so confirm the live rate with us first.
It suits long-term buyers and investors who are fine waiting for handover in exchange for lower entry pricing, and anyone who wants a home from a trusted builder in Dubailand.
At around AED 14.5 M (about Rs 37.34 Cr) to start, it is priced in line with the Dubailand market for this kind of home. Whether it is worth it depends on the exact unit and the running offer — we will help you compare before you commit.
An honest read on livability, builder trust, investment potential and value — scored by our team, not the builder.
About Meraas (Dubai Holding)
Meraas was founded in 2007 and has been part of Dubai Holding since June 2020, which makes it state-linked rather than private - the single most relevant fact on a purchase where AED 2 million leaves your account before construction is visible. Its delivered work is the most recognisable in this batch: City Walk, which opened in 2016; La Mer, which remade the Jumeirah 1 coastline in 2017; Bluewaters Island with Ain Dubai in 2018; Madinat Jumeirah Living; and the Bulgari Resort and Residences on Jumeira Bay. In total, more than 80 million sq ft delivered in Dubai and over 3,500 residential units, with a consistent on-time record and recent handovers including Bulgari Ocean Mansions and City Walk Central Park. At the AED 14.5 million level, the Bulgari work is the relevant comparison: Meraas has delivered genuinely high-end product before, which is not true of every developer selling at this price.

💬 Our View
This is the most expensive page in the batch and the shortest on hard numbers, which is a combination worth naming plainly. What is known is good: Meraas is part of Dubai Holding, it has delivered more than 80 million sq ft in Dubai including the Bulgari Resort and Residences, and the handover is quoted as a specific month - August 2028 - about two years out, inside a master community whose earlier phases are already on site and inspectable. The two collections, Ivory and Amber, are distinct design languages rather than finish packages, which suggests a project that has been thought about rather than assembled. What is not known is the floor area. Nobody publishes it for Phase 3, and at AED 14.5 million a price without a square footage is not a price you can evaluate - the community's seven-bedroom houses run about 10,911 sq ft saleable on a 14,516 sq ft plot, but that is a reference, not a specification for what you are being sold. So the sequence here is simple. Get the built-up and plot areas in writing for the exact villa and collection. Go and look at how phases one and two are actually progressing, because that is the best available evidence on whether August 2028 holds. Then decide. Buy this as a family estate; at 4.5 to 6% gross on AED 14.5 million, do not buy it as an investment.
We track Dubailand closely, and The Acres Estates Phase 3 Dubailand Dubai is one of the homes buyers ask about often. Our honest take: weigh the developer, the exact unit, and the price you get against nearby options before you commit. We are not here to push one project — we help you compare and pick what fits your budget and plan. For the live price and a clear comparison, just reach out.
Common Concerns, Answered
Premium projects in Dubailand do sit higher, but you pay for the builder, location and build quality. Compare the price per sq ft with one nearby project and it usually adds up — we will run that for you.
It is RERA-registered, so there is a committed date and compensation rules if the builder slips. We will share the delivery track record so you can judge the risk.
Maintenance is per sq ft per month and scales with amenities. We give you the exact rate up front so it is in your budget, not a surprise.
Resale in Dubailand stays active on steady demand. A known builder and a good unit make selling later easier.
Loading (the gap between saleable and carpet area) varies by project. Ask us for the exact carpet area of the unit you like so you compare like for like.
Yields here are modest but steady, helped by nearby offices and schools. If rent is your goal, we will point you to the units that lease out fastest.

Final Verdict
The ultra-luxury phase of Meraas's lagoon community: five to seven-bedroom villas from AED 14.5 million, in two distinct collections, handing over in August 2028. The developer's high-end record is real and the earlier phases are on site to inspect, but no floor areas are published for this phase, so the price cannot yet be judged per sq ft. Get the built-up and plot areas in writing, walk the earlier phases, and treat this as a family estate rather than an investment.
