Area Overview
The Acres is Meraas's villa-only community in Dubailand, positioned as a nature-first alternative to the golf and lagoon communities nearby. Three phases have launched — Phase 1, Phase 2 and the larger-plot Acres Estates — with completion scheduled for 2028 and every home a standalone villa of three to seven bedrooms. The plan is organised around water and landscape rather than a single central amenity: swimmable lagoons and lakes, a lagoon clubhouse, an event island, a community pavilion and a sequence of themed gardens. Buyers are predominantly families and end users seeking a detached house at pricing below comparable communities further north.
