Tilal Al Ghaf

In our experience, yes — and the numbers back it up. Tilal Al Ghaf has seen consistent capital appreciation since its launch, with some villa sub-communities recording 15–20% price growth year-on-year. Majid Al Futtaim's single-master-developer model keeps quality and community standards tight, which protects long-term value. We currently have 8 active projects in our catalogue here, and buyer demand across all of them remains strong heading into 2026.

Pricing varies by product type, but as a general guide our buyers are seeing AED 1,400–1,900 per sqft for townhouses like Elan, rising to AED 2,200–2,800+ per sqft for premium villa communities such as Elysian Mansions and Serenity Mansion. Lanai Islands, being a private island concept, commands a premium above that range. We always recommend comparing on a per-sqft basis and plot size, since land allocation varies significantly across sub-communities.

Tilal Al Ghaf is a single-master-developer community — every project here is delivered by Majid Al Futtaim Properties. That's actually a selling point for our buyers: one developer controls the masterplan, landscaping, and community rules, so you don't get the inconsistency you sometimes see in multi-developer areas. Projects range from the more accessible Elan Townhouses all the way up to ultra-luxury Elysian Mansions and Lanai Islands.

Gross rental yields in Tilal Al Ghaf currently sit around 5–6.5% depending on unit type and furnishing. Townhouses in Elan and Harmony Villas tend to attract long-term family tenants, which keeps void periods low. Larger villas in Amara and Alaya Gardens can command AED 280,000–400,000+ per year in annual rent. We always advise clients to factor in service charges when calculating net yield, as these vary by sub-community.

Tilal Al Ghaf sits off Hessa Street in the Dubailand corridor. In our experience, expect roughly 25–35 minutes to DIFC, 30–40 minutes to Dubai Marina, and 30–35 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB) during off-peak hours. Morning rush hour can add 10–15 minutes on Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. It's a car-dependent community, so most of our buyers here are families who prioritise space over a short commute.

The community is within a 10–15 minute drive of several well-regarded schools including GEMS World Academy, Ranches Primary, and Fairgreen International School. Internally, the masterplan centres on Lagoon Al Ghaf, a 70,000 sqm recreational lagoon with a sandy beach — a genuine draw for families. The Elan retail strip handles everyday needs, and Mall of the Emirates is roughly 20 minutes away for larger shopping runs.

Think of it as a spectrum. Elan Townhouses are the entry point — 3–4 bedroom homes starting around AED 2.8M, ideal for first-time villa buyers. Harmony and Amara Villas sit in the mid-luxury tier with larger plots and private pools. At the top end, Elysian Mansions, Serenity Mansion, and Lanai Islands are ultra-luxury products with bespoke finishes and direct lagoon access, often priced above AED 20M. We help buyers match their budget and lifestyle to the right sub-community.
