Private Living
In a busy, cosmopolitan city like Dubai, finding a home that offers privacy can be a challenge. With towering apartment blocks, dense roads, and an increasing population, residents can sometimes feel disconnected and overwhelmed, boosting demand for luxury homes in secluded areas.
If privacy matters to you, the leafy neighbourhood of Al Barari is a fantastic choice. A trailblazing locale designed by Emirati entrepreneur Zaal Mohammed Zaal, Al Barari is the gold-standard for green living in Dubai, with 500 different plant species. Privacy is paramount in Al Barari – homes here are tucked away in the thick of towering trees and often separated with cascading waterways and verdant stretches of botanical gardens, offering a level of natural seclusion found nowhere else in Dubai.
Another address that promises privacy without being too remote is Emirates Hills, which is one of the most coveted gated neighbourhoods in Dubai. Freehold villas here are expansive and custom-built, set around the undulating Montgomerie golf course. Residents can enjoy the privacy and security of life in a low-density gated golf community while being just minutes from key areas such as Dubai Marina. Homes in Emirates hills are also notably larger than average – up to 19 bedrooms – offering residents sufficient privacy both within the home and the surrounding landscape.
More private still is Jumeirah Bay Island. This sea-horse shaped island is connected to the mainland by a 300m bridge and has just 128 villa plots, creating an exclusive, close-knit residential community where privacy is a given. Private pools and beach fronts bring further privacy to residents on this island, offering a personal slice of sun-kissed paradise. Often referred to as ‘billionaire’s island’, the lifestyle amenities on Jumeirah Bay Island do not fall short of expectations, with the world’s first Bulgari Marina & Yacht club, and the prestigious Bulgari resort, which attracts a small and discerning clientele.
