Studio nan in The Reserve, Al Barari

Some places just let you breathe a little easier the second you arrive. That is exactly how it felt for me when I wandered along this plot at The Reserve in Al Barari. Sometimes the rush and noise of Dubai can start to blend together but stepping out here is like turning down the volume on the whole city. The sunlight comes through the branches in this easy sort of way and there is so much green everywhere that it almost feels unlikely. You stand there looking at all these gardens and it is sort of rare honestly to find a spot in Dubai where the city seems so far off but you are actually only minutes from Downtown.

In terms of location, Al Barari is central but it never feels citylike. The first thing you notice is just how quiet it is. Instead of the sound of traffic you get early morning birds and actually hear the breeze move through the trees. I spent a few moments just standing close to the pond near The Farm. If you have been out here for a weekend coffee you will know what I mean. People bring laptops, families have breakfast in the sun and in some corners you will even see dragonflies going across the water. It is not what you normally expect in Dubai but it fits here. Over sixty percent of Al Barari is all gardens, shaded walkways and real open green. Sometimes you get little pockets of jasmine too and it just smells right.

Now the plot itself sits in The Reserve and it is really something when you see it up close. More than thirty one thousand square feet so you never feel boxed in or crowded. Actually, standing on the site you might think it is even bigger. What makes this one unique though is just how much freedom you get. In most places around Dubai you are set to a certain design or look but here you really can decide what kind of home makes sense for you. Some build glassy modern villas with huge open spaces and loads of sunlight. Others choose a bit more of a classic feel. No matter what you choose the gardens are always part of the plan because they are everywhere.

You will also notice straight away that life out here runs at a different pace. The community puts a big focus on wellness and comfort and it is not just for show. The health club is actually called Body Language and I think that says enough on its own. I have seen friends out for early runs or families walking together under the shade. Some trails cut behind the ponds and you catch a glimpse of the Burj Khalifa now and then through the trees which is a neat reminder you are still in Dubai. The spa is called Heart and Soul and it is just down the lane so if you want to switch off after a long week it could not be closer.

People do not really leave Al Barari much for day to day things since everything is here but if you need the city you just drive a short way and you are at DIFC or Downtown. Sometimes you see kids biking around in the afternoons or couples walking their dogs before sunset. It is open and safe and never gets busy even on weekends.

Since the land is freehold you can build your Dubai villa in exactly the way that fits your life. A big pool for summer, maybe a hidden garden roof, a bit of extra space for guests or even a multi generation setup. There are not many places left in central Dubai where you can take your time and get it right. Most owners out here do just that and you really feel it as you walk around.

If having true privacy and a personal retreat in nature sounds good but you still want all of city life within reach, it is worth coming to see this plot at The Reserve in Al Barari. It is honestly one of those spots that you have to see in person to know if it matches what you want. I am happy to walk you through it or just answer any questions you have.
