Villa for Sale in Dubai, Emaar: Off-Plan, Golf-Front or Ready
An Emaar villa search splits into three routes: Avelia off-plan in The Valley from AED 7.25 million, Fairway Villas 3 on the Emaar South golf course from AED 4.39 million, or Golf Place, now a completed, ready community.
A villa search under the Emaar name in Dubai splits into three different routes depending on timing and budget: Avelia, a standalone off-plan villa release in The Valley from AED 7.25 million; Fairway Villas 3, on the Emaar South golf course from AED 4.39 million; and Golf Place in Dubai Hills Estate, which is now complete and sold mainly on the resale market.
Three Emaar villa routes compared
| Project | District | Status | Starting price | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Avelia | The Valley | Off-plan | From AED 7.25 million | 80/20, 10% down |
| Fairway Villas 3 | Emaar South | Off-plan | From AED 4.39 million | Payment schedule on request |
| Golf Place | Dubai Hills Estate | Ready | Price on request | Payment schedule on request |
Avelia: large plots, long construction horizon
Avelia is positioned as 'the art of slow living' in The Valley, a standalone release of four and five bedroom villas averaging between roughly 5,600 and 9,600 square feet, among the larger plot sizes in the community. The interest-free 80/20 payment plan, with only 10% down, runs through to a Q4 2029 handover, giving a buyer several years to spread the remaining balance.
Fairway Villas 3: a golf-front release in Emaar South
Fairway Villas 3 is the newest phase of Emaar South's golf-front villa collection, offering four bedroom semi-detached and five bedroom standalone homes directly overlooking the 18-hole championship course. The wider Emaar South community totals 22,700 residential units with parks, retail and dining, close to Al Maktoum International Airport and Expo City Dubai. Pricing starts from AED 4.39 million, with the payment schedule confirmed by your adviser.
Golf Place: the ready alternative
Golf Place is Emaar's standalone villa collection set directly on the Dubai Hills Golf Course, 128 villas across four, five and six bedroom homes in three facade styles. The community now stands complete and handed over, which means resale and secondary-market units are the main route to ownership here, rather than a developer payment plan. For a buyer who wants to move in without waiting years for construction, this is the closer-to-immediate option among the three.
Why price per villa varies this much
Price differences between these three come from district, plot size and construction stage, not from one being a better deal than another in absolute terms. A ready villa at Golf Place trades on today's resale market rather than an original launch price, while Avelia and Fairway Villas 3 are both still off-plan, with pricing set against years of future construction risk and reward.

What none of the three confirms yet
Golf Place does not have a confirmed price published at this stage, and the exact payment structure for Fairway Villas 3 has not been confirmed on an official source during verification. Treat any figure you see for either outside this guide as unverified until your adviser checks it against the current release.
Registration costs on top of any villa price
Dubai Land Department registration fees run at 4% of the sale price for a completed transaction, with a fixed Oqood fee for an off-plan registration confirmed in the contract. Neither figure is calculated here from the starting prices above; both apply once a specific unit price is agreed.
Financing a villa purchase
Bank financing remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's own approval. No interest rate, loan-to-value ratio or specific bank is confirmed here for any of the three villas, since terms are set case by case.
Golden Visa relevance for a villa buyer
A property investment of AED 2 million or more can open a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed with the authorities. Avelia and Fairway Villas 3 both clear that threshold at their published starting prices; Golden Visa eligibility for a specific Golf Place resale unit depends on its final agreed price.
Next step
Tell your adviser whether you want a large off-plan plot, a golf-front release, or a villa you can move into sooner, and they will confirm current availability and pricing. Our Avelia guide and our Golf Fields Emaar South guide go deeper into villa living in each of these two communities.
