The Waterside Villas is an extraordinarily prestigious and ultra-exclusive residential enclave masterfully developed by Ellington Properties in District 11 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City (MBR City), specifically within Wadi Al Safa 3. Positioned as the absolute pinnacle of high-end suburban living, this bespoke project holds the historic distinction of being the very first residential cluster launched within the highly anticipated "The Sanctuary" master-planned gated community. Designed to provide residents with a peaceful, highly secure retreat away from the city’s bustling core, the development perfectly blends sophisticated contemporary architecture with the lush, serene tranquility of its environment. According to official project announcements, the development is currently off-plan, with a highly anticipated handover scheduled between the fourth quarter of 2025 and mid-2026.
The community features a strictly limited and highly curated boutique portfolio of approximately 17 meticulously designed luxury waterfront homes (representing extreme exclusivity). Discerning buyers and families can choose from a highly sophisticated selection of sprawling 4, 5, and 6-bedroom ultra-luxury standalone villas, available across four distinct, stunning design styles: The Retreat Villas, The Hideaway Villas, The Escape Villas, and The Oasis Villas. The residences are celebrated for their massive scale, with 4-bedrooms ranging up to 7,952 sq. ft., 5-bedrooms up to 12,380 sq. ft., and 6-bedrooms reaching an astonishing 14,605 sq. ft. Emphasizing sustainability, all buildings are constructed using local materials in strict compliance with Dubai's green building codes. Every single villa features its own private swimming pool, rooftop terrace, and BBQ area. Starting prices for these rare trophy assets are anchored around AED 16,500,000.
Living at The Waterside grants residents access to an extraordinary suite of world-class, resort-style shared amenities within The Sanctuary. The absolute highlight of the community is immediate, exclusive access to a spectacular, pristine crystal lagoon and beautiful beach.
Residents enjoy an active, wellness-focused lifestyle supported by a luxurious dedicated clubhouse, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, and beautifully landscaped community parks. Families benefit significantly from lush green areas and safe play zones. Conveniently located with incredibly easy, seamless access to Downtown Dubai, The Waterside Villas by Ellington Properties remains the definitive legacy address.
