About Sanctnary

The Sanctuary is an upscale, gated villa community located in District 11 of Mohammed Bin Rashid City, a master development a short drive from central Dubai. Planned around a landscaped crystal lagoon and green corridors, it is designed as a low-density residential enclave with an emphasis on privacy, water views and outdoor living. Homes here are contemporary villas, typically with four to six bedrooms across multiple levels. Architecture favors clean lines, generous glazing and open-plan interiors, with many residences oriented to capture lagoon, park or skyline views. Private amenities are a major feature: most villas include their own swimming pool, courtyards and roof terraces, along with dedicated parking and service quarters. Community life is centered on the lagoon and a residents’ clubhouse, complemented by walking trails, lawned seating areas and outdoor entertainment zones such as barbecue spaces and game tables. Family-friendly elements include dedicated children’s play areas and pet-friendly spaces, while the broader MBR City district offers retail and dining destinations such as Hartland Square, Hartland Boulevard and The Walk. Planned access to a large nearby mall further enhances day-to-day convenience as the wider area continues to mature. Access is primarily by car, with straightforward connectivity across MBR City to key parts of Dubai. Typical drive times place leisure and business hubs within easy reach; for example, golf and equestrian facilities in Meydan and major retail destinations in the vicinity are generally around 10 to 15 minutes by road, traffic permitting. Public transport options in the immediate community are limited, so private cars and ride-hailing services are the norm. The Sanctuary is an off-plan development delivered in phases, with handovers scheduled from late 2025 onward for initial clusters and later phases extending beyond that. As a freehold community, it is open to both UAE nationals and foreign buyers, appealing to those seeking modern waterfront-inspired villas in a quiet, well-connected part of the city.
