Emirates Hills is Dubai’s most exclusive gated villa community — often called “the Beverly Hills of Dubai.” Built around the Montgomerie Championship Golf Course, it is defined by custom-built mansions on some of the city’s largest plots, deep privacy, and a residents’ list of royalty, CEOs and global ultra-high-net-worth families. It is the benchmark address for trophy homes and long-term wealth preservation in Dubai.
Where is Emirates Hills?
Emirates Hills sits beside Emirates Living (The Meadows, The Springs, The Lakes) off Sheikh Zayed Road, close to Dubai Marina, JLT and Dubai Internet/Media City — central yet completely private behind guarded entrances.
Property types and prices
Unlike master-developed communities, every villa in Emirates Hills is custom-built, so no two mansions are alike. Plots typically range from around 15,000 to 45,000+ sq ft (some exceeding 60,000), with built-up areas from roughly 10,000 to 38,000+ sq ft. This is firmly an ultra-prime market — among the highest price-per-home tiers in Dubai — with golf-fronting and lake-view residences commanding the largest premiums.
Lifestyle and amenities
Life here centres on space, privacy and the Montgomerie golf course and clubhouse, with bespoke interiors, private pools and gardens, and multiple guarded entrances with private patrols. The adjacent Emirates Living communities add retail, dining, schools and parks.
Schools and connectivity
Leading schools (Dubai International Academy, Emirates International School) are within or beside the community, and Dubai Marina, DIFC and the airports are an easy drive via Sheikh Zayed Road.
Investment potential
Emirates Hills is a scarcity-driven wealth-preservation asset: a fixed, finite community of custom mansions with deep UHNW demand, low turnover and durable long-term appreciation. It’s a buy-and-hold trophy play rather than a yield-led one. Read our in-depth feature, Emirates Hills: Inside Dubai’s Most Elite Gated Villa Community.

The community layout and sectors
Emirates Hills is organised into numbered sectors (Sectors E, L, P, W and others) of large custom plots wrapped around the Montgomerie golf course and its lakes. Because every villa is individually designed and built, the community reads as a collection of unique mansions rather than a uniform development — architecture ranges from classical palaces to sleek contemporary estates. The most prized plots front the Montgomerie fairways or the lakes.
Prices and sizes (indicative)
This is firmly Dubai’s ultra-prime tier. Plots typically run from about 15,000 to 45,000+ sq ft (some beyond 60,000), with built-up areas from roughly 10,000 to 38,000+ sq ft. Values are among the highest per-home in Dubai, with finished, golf- or lake-fronting mansions at the very top; turnover is low and much of it happens off-market.

Location and connectivity
Emirates Hills sits beside Emirates Living (The Meadows, Springs, Lakes) off Sheikh Zayed Road, typically around 10 minutes to Dubai Marina and JLT, close to Dubai Internet and Media City, and roughly 30 minutes to DXB — central yet completely private behind guarded entrances.
Lifestyle, privacy and schools
Life centres on space, discretion and the Montgomerie golf course and clubhouse, with bespoke interiors, private pools and gardens, and multiple guarded entrances with private patrols. Leading schools — Dubai International Academy and Emirates International School — sit within or beside the community, and the adjacent Emirates Living districts add retail, dining and parks.
Who Emirates Hills suits, and how it compares
It suits ultra-high-net-worth families and global investors seeking a trophy primary residence or a long-term wealth-preservation asset, prioritising bespoke architecture, space and privacy over rental yield. Versus Palm Jumeirah (waterfront, more liquid) and Al Barari (green, botanical), Emirates Hills is the inland, golf-course benchmark for custom mansions.
