Al-Futtaim Real Estate has expanded its portfolio with the launch of Al Badia Villas in Dubai Festival City. This new residential leasing project features 107 modern homes with three to five bedrooms. The development was built by Al-Futtaim Contracting. This internal approach ensured high quality and consistent design throughout the construction phase.

The villas sit across three hectares of parkland and offer a mix of high-end design and natural surroundings. Each home features floor-to-ceiling windows and premium finishes to create a sophisticated living space. The layouts are designed to maximise both indoor and outdoor areas for families.

Technology is a core part of the new development. Every villa comes with smart home systems that allow residents to manage lighting and climate control via mobile apps. These systems work with Alexa, Apple Home and Google Home. To support the environment, the villas include solar power systems. These units can save residents up to 30% on their electricity bills. The project also provides infrastructure for electric vehicle charging.

“Al Badia Villas reflect our vision of delivering not just premium housing but also a lifestyle of sustainability, innovation, and connectivity. We are proud to redefine villa living with cutting-edge features and thoughtful design that meet the needs of today’s residents,” said Spencer Lowres, Executive Director – Development at Al-Futtaim. “Our focus has always been on creating communities where families thrive, and Al Badia Villas combine the best of contemporary design, smart home technology, and a deep commitment to sustainability. By integrating these elements, we offer residents a truly exceptional lifestyle in one of Dubai’s most sought-after locations.”

The community includes several family-friendly features like an outdoor fitness park and a children’s play area. A unique nature trail allows people to learn about local plants and wildlife by scanning QR codes. This initiative supports the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy and the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. Residents will also have access to 24-hour security and dog-friendly walking paths.

“We expect Al Badia Villas to offer a transformative contribution to Dubai’s residential leasing market, adding to the already sought-after Al Badia Living by meeting the growing demand for premium villas in convenient, centrally located and well-established communities,” concluded Spencer Lowres. “Al Badia Villas are yet more evidence of Al-Futtaim’s strategic commitment to delivering premium, luxurious residential options. At Al-Futtaim, our central focus is the customer, designing every space with the occupant in mind and delivering construction quality that meets the expectations of a discerning tenant. This vertically integrated approach enables Al-Futtaim to provide hassle-free living, seamless maintenance, and exceptional service that gives every resident true peace of mind”
