Mirage The Oasis: Emaar's Large-Format Villas in The Oasis
Emaar Properties launched Mirage The Oasis in April 2024 as part of The Oasis by Emaar, a master-planned community in Dubai. This is a villa-only release. No apartments, no townhouses. Every unit is a standalone villa with either five or six bedrooms, ranging from roughly 10,200 to 13,000 square feet of built area. For buyers who want scale and private outdoor space, this is squarely in that territory.
Getting In for 10%
The payment structure is one of the more buyer-friendly aspects of this release. The plan breaks down as:
| Payment Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 10% |
| During construction | 80% |
| On handover | 10% |
A 10% down payment on a property starting at AED 15.8 million means roughly AED 1.58 million to secure the unit. That is a low barrier to entry for this price segment. The trade-off is that 80% of the purchase price falls during the construction period, which runs from now until May 2028. Buyers need to be comfortable with a front-loaded construction payment schedule. Most of the capital commitment lands before keys are handed over.
The AED 15.8M to AED 20.5M Spread Explained
The AED 4.7 million gap between the minimum and maximum price is explained almost entirely by bedroom count and gross area. Five-bedroom villas start at AED 15.8 million and cover approximately 10,200 to 11,200 square feet depending on layout type. Six-bedroom villas start at AED 20.5 million and run from 11,300 to nearly 13,000 square feet.
The buyer at AED 15.8 million is typically a family wanting a large primary residence or an investor targeting the upper end of Dubai's long-term rental market. The buyer at AED 20.5 million has more specific requirements: maximum indoor space, an additional bedroom for staff or guests, and a layout that supports formal and informal living zones within the same footprint.
The Oasis by Emaar: What the Location Means
The Oasis by Emaar sits in Dubai's south, between Al Khail Road and Emirates Road. This puts it at a practical remove from central Dubai. The drive to Downtown Dubai is generally in the 25 to 35 minute range. Dubai International Airport is a similar distance. For buyers whose daily life keeps them south of the city or whose work is in Dubai South, Dubai Investment Park, or Jebel Ali Free Zone, the location makes sense on a commute basis.
For those working in Business Bay or DIFC, the daily drive will be longer. The trade-off is land. The Oasis delivers villa plots and community footprints that simply do not exist closer to central Dubai at any price point. Investors interested in long-term capital appreciation often look to master communities like this one, where the land position and development scale differ fundamentally from the established urban districts.
Five and Six Bedroom Villas
This is a single-product development. All nine unit configurations are villas. The split between five-bedroom and six-bedroom options across five layout types (A through E) gives buyers flexibility in choosing a footprint, but the buyer profile is consistent: a household that needs substantial space and is not considering a smaller entry point.
What the Amenities Say About the Intended Resident
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Recreation | Indoor Swimming Pool, Barbecue Area |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Most villa communities in Dubai offer a communal outdoor pool. An indoor option signals year-round usability, which matters for families with children or residents who swim for fitness rather than leisure. The presence of on-site restaurants and a children's play area points clearly to a self-contained family community, not a pied-a-terre development. The amenity set tells you this project targets a resident who wants to live within the community rather than leave it for daily needs.
May 2028: Two Years of Off-Plan Exposure
Construction started in April 2024. The expected completion is May 2028. For a buyer entering now, that is approximately two years of off-plan holding. The construction is already underway, which reduces execution risk compared to a project that has not broken ground. The payment schedule means most of the financial commitment is made before handover. Buyers who need a ready property cannot consider this project at this stage. For investors comfortable with the construction period, the combination of an established developer and an already-started build makes the timeline credible.
