The Oasis – Palace Villas – Ostra

About the project

The Oasis – Palace Villas – Ostra is a residential project by Emaar Properties within The Oasis by Emaar in DubaiLand. It forms part of a low-density masterplanned community planned around water corridors, landscaped areas and detached residential neighbourhoods.

Ostra within The Oasis by Emaar

The Oasis – Palace Villas – Ostra sits within The Oasis by Emaar, a masterplanned residential community in DubaiLand. The wider development is planned as a low-density enclave comprising townhouses, villas, mansions and super-mansions. Its masterplan centres on the Oasis River, an internal water corridor that runs through residential and landscaped areas. Many residences across the community are designed to face waterways and public green space. The Oasis covers more than 100 million square feet and includes canals, lakes, parks and retail space. The wider plan provides for roughly 7,000 homes, focused on larger villas and detached residences.

Waterside masterplan and residential setting

Water and open space are central to The Oasis by Emaar. The community plan dedicates 25% of the site to lakes, water canals, parks, running tracks and landscaped amenity areas. Selected mansion and super-mansion plots in the wider community are planned with direct water access through private jetties. Corner-plot mansions are described as having private islands. The masterplan combines residential districts with landscaped public space along the Oasis River, creating a setting in which waterways form part of the internal community layout. Ostra is positioned within this wider waterside residential environment in DubaiLand.

Homes across the wider community

The Oasis by Emaar is planned primarily for detached housing, with townhouses, villas, mansions and super-mansions included across the masterplan. The community’s housing focus is on larger homes rather than high-rise residential buildings. Water-facing plots are an established feature of the wider plan, with villa and mansion areas arranged along internal waterways and landscaped corridors. Mansion and super-mansion plots include the community’s most distinctive water-access arrangements, while the overall residential plan combines several scales of detached homes. The Oasis also includes named internal neighbourhoods, including Mareva The Oasis and Mareva 2 The Oasis.

Landscape, leisure and retail provision

The Oasis by Emaar is planned with parks, running tracks, lakes and water canals alongside its residential areas. These landscape and water features account for 25% of the wider site. The community concept also includes a retail component of 1.5 million square feet, intended for shopping and food-and-beverage uses. Canals and lakes are integrated with landscaped corridors rather than treated as separate amenities outside the residential plan. Early infrastructure work for the wider development includes a pumping station for irrigation and firefighting, together with external connections for potable water, treated sewage effluent and foul sewerage systems.
