3 bedroom villa in Zulal, The Lakes

Some homes have a way of making you feel at ease the second you step in. That is exactly how I felt with this three bedroom villa at Zulal in The Lakes. Before I really noticed the finishes or kitchen or anything else, it was the light that grabbed my attention. Afternoon sun slides across the floors and you get these gentle patches of warmth by the living room window. All those big glass panels and the fact that this is a corner villa really do make it feel a bit different from others I have seen. No one peeking in. More open space on both sides. Sometimes you just want that feeling of not being boxed in and here it is everywhere, inside and out.

One of the first things I ended up doing was walking over to the terrace. I mean, if you are going to live near the water, you want to see it every day, right. Some mornings I can imagine just sitting out there with a coffee, catching the sound of birds or even a soft ripple from the lake past the trees. The air in Zulal feels fresher. There is a kind of stillness without feeling sleepy. Even with cycling paths and kids moving past on scooters now and then there is this gentle quiet. Standing there, you just get that sense of community that The Lakes does so well, only here it has an extra bit of calm and greenery.

Inside the villa, the sense of space is actually better once you are walking around instead of just looking at plans or photos. Three genuine ensuite bedrooms. Everyone gets their own bathroom, so mornings do not turn into a rush. Each room feels well thought out, not just big for the sake of it, but with nooks where you could read, work, or just close the door and get peace for a bit. The main living area is what you would hope for in a family home in Dubai. Bright but not glaring. Open so you can breathe, but still easy to picture that dining area where everyone chats over dinner. The way the room flows out onto the terrace is probably one of my favorite parts. When winter hits and the weather is actually pleasant, you could have the doors open and let the breeze move right through the house. Weekend barbecues almost plan themselves.

And honestly, the kitchen is set up for real life. All those fitted appliances mean you do not have to deal with kitting everything out the day you move in. The layout makes sense for busy families too. When I stood there I could see you genuinely cooking, chopping veg, the kids leaning in to taste sauce. Nothing stiff or just showy. This is a kitchen you will use morning to night.

I noticed the pool is placed to one side where you get the privacy without it being closed off. At night, with the city lights just a bit in the distance, taking a dip actually feels relaxing not like a hotel but like your own hideaway. You can imagine lazy afternoons on sun loungers, or maybe afterwork swims to end the day right. Parking is tucked under cover, so those hot Dubai days are never an issue.

Living in The Lakes, and Zulal especially, changes your daily routine. People really do use the tracks, the parks, and the tennis courts you see when you drive through. Every time I have come by there have been families out for evening strolls or neighbors waving across the road. Coffee shops and little restaurants are close enough if you want something tasty or just want to grab a flat white on the way to work. Evenings bring out people walking dogs and there are always a few friendly faces.

If you have been hoping for a three bedroom villa for rent in The Lakes, especially one where you get genuine privacy plus those lake views, it is worth coming by to see this one in Zulal.
