The Sanctuary is a collection of distinctively-designed and outstanding homes in District 11, Mohammed Bin Rashid City, Dubai. This will be the first master community of the award-winning boutique developer, Ellington Properties.

The Waterside is the first cluster in The Sanctuary that will come with a limited collection of exquisite 4–6 bedroom villas. The huge master bedrooms are provided with large walk-in closets and there are preparatory and show kitchens in every residence.

Among the 4 design styles to choose from are The Retreat Villas, The Hideaway Villas, The Escape Villas and The Oasis Villas, with each one of them coming with distinctive designs and options. All homes in The Sanctuary are built with local materials, following Dubai’s green building codes and a Wellness Initiative. Villas are equipped with low-noise efficient cooling systems, energy-efficient lighting and water-saving plumbing fixtures.

The Sanctuary by Ellington Properties is located in District 11 – MBR City, which enables residents of the development to get to key locations in and around the rest of Dubai quickly and easily. Thus, travel time to Downtown Dubai, with its outstanding sightseeing landmarks and DXB Airport will take 20 minutes, while Palm Jumeirah will be reachable within a 30-minute drive.

In terms of shopping, residents of The Sanctuary will easily be able to get to the up-coming Meydan One Mall, with over 550 retail stores and 180 dining options, a 21-screen cinema, dancing fountains and a Winter Village with 1 km ski slope, as well as the Avenue Mall in Nad Al Shiba. This mall includes retail stores and also hosts Carrefour Supermarket and American Hospital Nad Al Sheba.

Each premium villa in The Sanctuary will have an exceptional design and offer a haven of harmony, which means it is a spectacular place to reside in for discerning connoisseurs of fine living in an exclusive gated community by Ellington.

A unique crystal water lagoon, lush greenery and resort-like facilities with seamless access to everything Dubai has to offer, will allow you to enjoy life to the maximum. The luxury project is planned to be completed in Q2 2026 and buying a premium villa in The Waterside cluster will be a great investment into your future.
