Ohana By The Sea

Living between Dubai and Abu Dhabi has a particular appeal when the setting feels removed from both cities. Ohana By The Sea takes this approach to the coast, placing a collection of private villas along the Arabian Gulf in Al Jurf, Ghantoot, beside a natural reserve and landscaped open spaces. The development is designed around privacy, generous residences and a closer relationship with the shoreline.

Developed by Ohana Development, the project is part of the wider wave of high-end residential development taking shape along the Al Jurf coastline. Its position gives it a different character from the more urban waterfront communities of Dubai and Abu Dhabi: the emphasis here is on private outdoor space, the beach and the surrounding landscape.

The villa collection includes four-, five- and six-bedroom residences. Starting sizes are approximately 3,552 sq. ft. for four-bedroom villas, 4,467 sq. ft. for five-bedroom villas and 5,458 sq. ft. for six-bedroom villas. The scale allows the homes to function as substantial family residences, with space extending beyond the main living areas into gardens, terraces and private pools.

Architecture is offered in two distinct directions: Modern and Mediterranean. The Modern villas use a contemporary architectural language, while the Mediterranean collection draws from the established forms and character of Mediterranean coastal architecture. This choice gives buyers the opportunity to select a visual identity that suits how they want their home to relate to its surroundings.

The residences are conceived around indoor-outdoor living. Large glazed openings connect the interiors with gardens and pools, while the coastal setting provides the backdrop for much of daily life. The private pool attached to each villa is complemented by access to the community's private beach, making the transition between home, garden and shoreline a central part of the proposition.

Inside, the villas are planned as large-format homes rather than compact resort residences. The project includes equipped kitchens, generous living spaces, and features such as private elevators and contemporary cooling systems in the villa specification. Available project material also describes the option to personalise internal layouts, allowing buyers to adapt room arrangements to their requirements.

The wider amenity offering follows the same coastal and wellness-oriented approach. Residents have access to a fitness centre, spa and wellness facilities, landscaped gardens and a padel court, while private marinas add a more direct connection to the water. The development also incorporates round-the-clock security within its gated setting.

Location is another defining part of Ohana By The Sea. The community sits directly off Sheikh Zayed Road, placing it on the coastal corridor between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Ohana's current project information places Dubai Parks and Resorts around 20 minutes away, Al Maktoum International Airport around 25 minutes away, Dubai Marina around 30 minutes away and Yas Island approximately 45 minutes away.

The result is a residential proposition built less around proximity to a dense urban centre and more around the combination of coastline, space and privacy. For buyers seeking a sizeable villa with direct beach access while staying connected to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, Ohana By The Sea occupies a distinctive position in the UAE's coastal residential market.
