The Grove is the estate-villa enclave inside Sobha Sanctuary, the Sobha Realty township on the Dubai–Al Ain Road. It is a deliberately small, low-density collection of independent 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas set within the green corridors at the quieter edge of the masterplan, with private gardens and large plots rather than the terraced or semi-detached formats that dominate this price band.
The villas
Every home is detached and every layout is large. Sobha publishes six floor-plan types across three sizes, and the saleable areas are consistent within each bedroom count rather than varying widely by plot:
- 4 bedroom — three types at 4,905 to 4,985 sq ft. Ground floor carries a guest bedroom, living and dining, powder room, store and maid’s room; the first floor holds three bedrooms with three balconies plus a study or store.
- 5 bedroom — two types at 5,792 to 5,814 sq ft, with four bedrooms upstairs, a balcony and two terraces.
- 6 bedroom — 7,192 sq ft across three floors, adding a second-floor bedroom with its own balcony and terrace.
What the entry price implies
Starting price is AED 9.33M. Against the smallest published villa at 4,905 sq ft that is roughly AED 1,900 per sq ft of saleable area — our arithmetic, not a Sobha figure, and the number to test against detached-villa resale in comparable Dubai communities rather than against apartment rates on the same corridor. Because the size steps are large, the price ladder between 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms is a question to put to the sales desk directly: the published start price attaches to the entry format only.
Living here
The Grove draws on the wider Sobha Sanctuary amenity programme rather than carrying a full set of its own: a beach lagoon, a clubhouse, fitness and wellness decks, a yoga and meditation deck, sports courts, a community pavilion and garden, a forest play park, a co-working space, and the jogging, adventure-walk and cycling loops that thread the masterplan. Retail, schooling and daily services sit inside the township as it completes.
Getting around
This is a car-dependent address on the Dubai–Al Ain Road (E66), with secondary access from Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77). Sobha publishes Dubai Rugby Sevens at 5 minutes and Dubai Outlet Mall at 8; Downtown Dubai and Al Maktoum airport at 30, and Dubai International at 35. Those are off-peak figures from developer material. No metro serves this corridor and none is planned.
What is left, and on what terms
A developer availability report dated 6 September 2026 shows 23 villas available at The Grove, and every one of them is a four-bedroom. The five and six-bedroom formats had none left on that date, which is worth knowing if you came here for the larger houses.
- V-4A — 4,909 sq ft at AED 9,326,663, a flat AED 1,900 per sq ft. Four available, on plots of 4,967 to 6,092 sq ft.
- V-4B — 5,002 sq ft at AED 9,504,389, also AED 1,900 per sq ft. Twelve available, plots 4,955 to 5,268 sq ft.
- V-4C — 4,980 sq ft at AED 9,462,475 to 9,586,981, which is AED 1,900 to 1,925 per sq ft. Seven available, plots 4,955 to 5,211 sq ft.
Note the plot spread on V-4A: 4,967 sq ft at the bottom and 6,092 at the top, for exactly the same AED 9,326,663. That is more than a thousand square feet of land between two buyers paying an identical price, because Sobha prices on saleable area rather than plot. Ask for the plot number and its area, not just the villa type.
On terms, Sobha’s September sheet gives the estate villas a 40/60 payment plan with a 4 per cent DLD waiver, on units booked with a 2 per cent deposit between 1 and 15 September 2026. On the AED 9,326,663 entry villa that waiver is worth roughly AED 373,000. It is a fortnight-long promotion rather than the standard terms of the product, and Sobha publishes no standard plan at all — so ask what replaces it on 16 September.
