A villa community within Tilal Al Ghaf

Alaya forms part of Tilal Al Ghaf, a DubaiLand masterplan centred on a lagoon and beach setting. The project comprises 68 units and covers a total area of 4,680,765.83 square feet. Its villas are planned as G+2 homes, with concrete structures, blockwork, and internal and external finishes. The community design uses landscaped grounds, with stone and wood details, large glazed openings and shaded patios described across the homes. Living spaces are designed to connect with outdoor areas, while the layouts place emphasis on natural light. Alaya’s location within Tilal Al Ghaf places it in a master-planned setting with lagoon-focused leisure facilities and villa residences.

Home design and personalisation

Alaya’s design language combines natural materials and open interiors. Referenced interior finishes include natural stone walls, wooden finishes, polished concrete or wooden flooring, and large glazing facing outdoor spaces. Buyers were offered options to personalise internal suites, landscaping and outdoor areas. A Zen suite is designed as an interchangeable room that can be configured as a wellness area, private gym, office or entertaining room. Outdoor options include a lush green garden arrangement or a pool-focused yard layout. Two architectural and landscaping directions are referenced: The Modernist and The Mediterranean. These choices place the villa interiors, gardens and private outdoor spaces at the centre of the home design.

Lagoon, beach and outdoor facilities

Tilal Al Ghaf’s lagoon is a central feature for Alaya residents. The community includes a 150,000-square-metre lagoon and a 150-metre beach, with direct access to the sandy beachfront along the lagoon. Two beach clubs form part of the lagoon facilities. Water-based recreation, beach sports and tennis facilities are also included within the community offering. The beachfront, lagoon and landscaped setting provide the principal shared outdoor environment for the villa community. Alaya’s homes are planned with outdoor connections through glazed openings, patios and landscaping options, linking private garden areas with the wider lagoon-centred surroundings.
