5 bedroom villa in The Sanctuary

Some homes just have a way of making you pause as soon as you walk inside. This five bedroom villa in The Sanctuary at Nadd Al Sheba definitely did that for me. There's something about it, maybe the stillness from the views of the crystal lagoon or maybe because it just feels so well thought out. I remember standing in the entryway and realising I could see right through to the greenery in the back, which always feels kind of grounding.

You get proper space here, honestly. The built up area is over ten thousand square feet which is much more than most people ever need unless you have really big family dinners or love hosting everyone. The plot itself is almost just as big so inside and out you never feel boxed in. Sometimes in villas you find one main living area and that's it, but here, there are little corners and lounges that invite you to just stop and catch your breath. Late afternoon is the best with the way the light comes in, and if you climb up to the roof terrace you actually get this surprising skyline view of downtown. It's the kind of detail that makes you want to stay out there just a bit longer in the evening, even if you are just watching the city lights or talking with friends.

For anyone who cooks or even just likes to pretend to, the kitchen stands out. Not because it's just shiny but it actually looks like somewhere you would want to make a real meal. Those Miele appliances are there but it's more about the way the island sits in the middle, almost calling people to gather around. I could see family breakfasts there or kids finishing homework while someone is prepping dinner. Plus all the storage is hidden away so it always looks neat even if life is going on.

It's not just some huge villa for show, though. Upstairs, those five bedrooms actually all feel private. Closets bigger than most people ever use but you will never have to fight for space. Every bathroom is generous and you won't bump elbows trying to get ready. But what I kept noticing were the quiet moments you end up having because the home wraps around you. You almost forget how big it is. That spa inside is its own little surprise. I have seen home spas before but they usually feel tacked on. This one blends right in. If you have ever thought about keeping your skincare routine up or just need a quiet steam after work, you will use this more than you think.

You also get full home automation here. It just makes days easier. Controlling lights or temperature without having to leave the sofa, closing curtains in the evening, that sort of thing. It's one of those things that might not sound important now but once you try it you won't want to give it up. And the elevator is genuinely useful, especially with groceries or if you have anyone visiting who does not want to climb stairs all the time. Little things like that make life smoother.

This villa is part of The Lakeview Villas by Ellington, so you are in one of the most private parts of Nadd Al Sheba. You are close to MBR City which means you are not far from Downtown Dubai if you like the buzz or if you have to commute. Coffee shops and little bakeries are a short drive. Sometimes you spot people walking with strollers in the evenings or see neighbours chatting by the lagoon. The community feels lived in but never too crowded. There is always enough space for a jog or ride if you are that type or even just a book under a tree.

Handover is expected in a couple years. This gives you time to start picturing where your own things would go and think about making it your own. The only way to know if it feels right is to come see it yourself. If you want to talk or have a walk through, just let me know any time.
