Sobha Sanctuary is a flagship master-planned community developed by Sobha Realty, spanning over 37.48 million square feet in the rapidly evolving Al Yufrah district of Dubai. Conceived as a low-density “green oasis,” the development is crafted to provide residents with a tranquil escape from the city’s bustle without compromising on connectivity. The project emphasizes Sobha’s signature “backward integration” model, ensuring that every particular townhouse and villa is built with unmatched craftsmanship, premium materials, and meticulous attention to detail.
The first phase of Sobha Sanctuary is a limited release of 600 units, primarily consisting of spacious 4-bedroom twin townhouses plus standalone villas. The community is defined by its vast open spaces, crystal lagoons, and lush green corridors, where approximately 40–50% of the total land area is dedicated to landscaping and recreation. Located as a prime investment opportunity, Sobha Sanctuary offers early-entry pricing in a high-growth corridor, making it an ideal choice for families seeking privacy and investors aiming for long-term capital appreciation.
