Ravenna Residences: Aldar Villas in The Wilds, Dubai Land
Ravenna Residences is a villa project by Aldar Properties PJSC, part of The Wilds master community in Dubai Land. The development offers 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom freestanding villas in a low-density, gated setting. Construction broke ground in March 2025, with handover planned for June 2029.
Dubai Land: Space Over Centrality
Dubai Land is one of Dubai's larger planned districts, located inland southeast of Downtown. The city centre is roughly 25 to 35 minutes by car via Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Dubai International Airport falls in a similar range. The area is not near the coast, and buyers who prioritize beach access will find the commute from here significant.
Within Dubai Land, scale defines the character. Plots run larger than in inner-ring communities, density is lower, and the district is predominantly residential. The Wilds is a master community within Dubai Land. Ravenna Residences is one of the residential clusters inside it. Being part of a master community means the surrounding infrastructure, parks, retail, and community services are developed alongside the homes as part of a coordinated plan rather than filled in later.
AED 9,500,000: What This Gets You
The listed price is AED 9,500,000, corresponding to the 4-bedroom villa at 5,435 sq ft, or roughly AED 1,748 per sq ft. The project also includes 5-bedroom villas at 6,673 sq ft.
At AED 9.5M, Ravenna's 4-bedroom villas sit at the premium end of the Dubai Land villa market. Buyers at this level are choosing a location where square footage goes further than it would closer to the city core, in exchange for a longer daily commute.
Two Villa Formats
Ravenna offers two villa configurations, both freestanding within a gated environment.
The 4-bedroom villa at 5,435 sq ft is a large home. The floor area accommodates four bedroom suites, generous living and dining spaces, and room for a home office or live-in staff. This is a suitable scale for a family of four to six seeking a substantial primary residence.
The 5-bedroom villa at 6,673 sq ft adds 1,238 sq ft over the smaller type. The extra space adds an additional bedroom suite and more floor area across the common living spaces. Both villa types include private outdoor space as part of the standard configuration.
Amenities Built for Year-Round Residence
| Category | Facilities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Food & Beverage | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout feature. Outdoor pools are common at this price segment; an indoor pool extends usability through Dubai's summer months, when outdoor swimming is impractical for most of the day. The on-site gymnasium means residents can keep up a fitness routine without leaving the community. On-site restaurants reduce the need for daily car trips. The children's play area and landscaped gardens complete an amenity set aimed at families spending most of their leisure time within the community.
Completing in June 2029
Construction broke ground in March 2025. Handover is scheduled for June 2029, approximately 34 months from now. About 17 months of the build schedule have already elapsed since the start, so the project is past initial groundworks and into structural phases. Off-plan buyers entering now have a roughly three-year horizon to handover.
Getting In for 10% Down
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 35% |
10% down on AED 9.5M is AED 950,000 to secure the unit. For a villa at this price level, that is a low initial commitment. The 55% during construction is spread across the build phase through to mid-2029. The remaining 35% is due at handover in June 2029.
