4 bedroom villa in Alaya, Tilal Al Ghaf

Some places just have that slow exhale feel when you walk in. That was honestly my first moment in this four bedroom villa in Alaya at Tilal Al Ghaf. I paused at the huge front door and everything felt clean and open. You know those homes where you almost feel lighter because of the way the light comes in through the double height windows That is this one for sure.

There is something about Tilal Al Ghaf that feels very community focused but not crowded. Walking around you see people out in the green spaces. Sometimes there are families picnicking or just wandering with their dogs and I always notice how quiet it gets around the lagoon. It is not just about the homes although that is a big part of why people move here. You can catch the sound of birds in the morning and the whole area almost whispers rather than buzzes. The location is super convenient too but when you are at Alaya somehow all that city business feels further away.

The villa itself manages to be both striking and easygoing at the same time. The exterior is all clean lines and big statements thanks to the windows and that front door that feels like it belongs on a magazine cover. Step inside and you get this sort of real life warmth. The main living and dining space stretches out so wide I actually paced it because it just keeps going almost ten meters. Morning light is something else in here. If you work from home you will find yourself dragging your laptop to wherever the sun is spilling in.

The kitchen is actually made for cooking not just the usual microwave and go. Those marble countertops make prepping food feel more fun and sometimes I find myself just leaning there even without a reason to cook. There is a guest bedroom on the ground floor too which is its own little escape with a private bathroom. The maid's room is well sized and smartly placed so it never feels cramped.

One thing that stands out is the garden suite. It is totally detached so if you have friends staying over or even older kids back from university it feels like their own little retreat. There is a zen suite as well that you can use for movie nights or even just as a hideout when you need some quiet. The first floor is where you find the master bedroom and I have to say the his and her dressing rooms are much bigger than average. It feels a bit like shopping in your own wardrobe every morning. The other bedrooms all have their own bathrooms as well which just makes family life less hectic and mornings a little smoother.

Head up to the second floor and there is more space still. Another bedroom and entertainment suite that spills out onto a rooftop terrace. On cooler evenings the terrace is probably the best seat in the house. I have been there at sunset and watched the sky move from gold to pink. You can even set up a little herb garden if that is your thing. Plus the elevator means you never have to worry about stairs even with groceries or if you have older guests.

This villa has a landscaping option if you want to tweak the garden to your style. Sometimes you see neighbours out there planning their weekends or just enjoying the quiet. Kids do bike down the lanes in the evenings which always feels kind of old school and safe.

Price wise this one is honestly solid value for the size and finish. To really know if it is your place though, best to come and see it. Walk through, stand by the windows for a bit and see how it feels. If you have questions or just want to look around I am happy to help.
