Apartment Living Inside a Villa Masterplan
Sobha Sanctuary was planned principally as a villa district, with roughly two-thirds of its built area given to villas. The Woods is the apartment component; a small number of low-rise buildings placed on one of the greener plots in the masterplan. For buyers, that structure matters more than any single specification: it means an apartment entry price into a community whose amenity programme, road network, and landscape were budgeted around villa owners.
The Serenity release continues that approach. Buildings step down toward the parkland rather than up toward a skyline, apartments are oriented so that living areas and balconies face green, and circulation is designed around walking routes rather than car access. Ceiling heights of approximately 3.2 metres and full-height glazing carry the daylight deeper into each plan than the floor areas alone would suggest.
The Sobha Sanctuary Masterplan
Residents of The Woods Serenity inherit the full community amenity programme at handover rather than a phased promise. The masterplan is structured around three sub-communities and a commercial zone anchored by Sobha Sanctuary Mall, with schools, clinics, sports courts and retail held inside the gated perimeter.

How the EOI process works
Register an Expression of Interest with AED 25,000 for a 1 bedroom or AED 40,000 for a 2 bedroom residence. EOI registrations are ranked for the allocation event on 27 July 2026, where buyers select their specific unit in priority order. An EOI reserves a place in the queue; it does not reserve a particular apartment.

Location and Access
Sobha Sanctuary sits in Al Yufrah 1, along the Dubai–Al Ain corridor. The community draws on three highway connections, which spreads traffic load across different routes into the city rather than concentrating it on one.
Build Quality and Craft
Sobha Realty operates a backward-integrated model, keeping design, structural engineering, MEP, facade manufacturing and interior fit-out in-house rather than subcontracting them. For a buyer, the practical consequence is tighter control over finish tolerances and handover condition, the specification that appears in the brochure is produced by the same organisation that installs it.
The Investment Case
Sobha’s earlier Dubailand masterplans, Sobha Reserve and Sobha Elwood, each appreciated meaningfully from launch as their infrastructure was delivered. Sanctuary is the largest of the three, which leaves more masterplan build-out ahead of it. Serenity enters that curve at an apartment ticket size rather than a villa one, and residences priced at AED 2 million and above meet the threshold for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa.

Within Sobha Sanctuary in Al Yufrah 1, Dubailand, with access to Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66), Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311).
What is the starting price?

How much is the EOI amount, and is it refundable?
AED 25,000 for a 1 bedroom residence and AED 40,000 for a 2 bedroom residence. Refund terms are set out in the developer’s EOI documentation, confirm these in writing before transferring.
Does an EOI guarantee me an apartment?

What do I need to do to keep the launch privileges?
The unit must be booked and PR approved with a 2% booking amount within the offer period. Benefits are extended after 10% payment and execution of the booking form.
Do the residences qualify for a Golden Visa?
Units valued at AED 2 million and above meet the property threshold for the UAE’s 10-year Golden Visa, which can be extended to spouse and children. Entry-level units below that figure do not.
When is handover expected?
The Woods precinct is currently indicated for a 2029 handover window. The contractual completion date for your specific unit is stated in the sale and purchase agreement.
