Luxury villas for sale in Dubai

There are numerous non-freehold and freehold villas in Dubai that are available for local and expat ownership respectively. One needs to first understand what kind of villa community they wish to be part of first and whether they are looking to rent or own a villa. Most villa communities are gated communities with high security protocols to ensure safety and security of the neighbourhood and children. Most villas also come with a garden and pool, or both. There are some villas such as those on the Palm Jumeirah, that also offer private beach access. Dubai is home to a wide variety of villa communities that will cater to each and every lifestyle. For example, the Dubai Hills Estate and Jumeirah Golf Estates villas are excellent for those that enjoy a golf-lifestyle and close proximity to schools and healthcare facilities. While purchasing a villa, you have to take into consideration the service charges payable for the area every year and the potential maintenance costs, especially for a villa with a pool or garden. Almost all villa communities are also pet-friendly, with pet-friendly outlets around as well. Another thing you may want to consider is home and contents insurance. For those that potentially want to upgrade your villa, you will need to take permissions from the developer before carrying out the renovation project.
