• A visionary masterpiece where luxury meets unprecedented equestrian living

Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 23 April 2025: The world’s leading real estate developer, Emaar, has unveiled its newest masterplan, Grand Polo Club & Resort – a collection of exclusive luxury villa communities with polo and equestrian heritage at its core. Spanning a sprawling 5.54 million SqM and strategically located minutes away from the upcoming expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, this visionary masterpiece is set to establish a new standard of residential experience.

It is also surrounded by other Emaar masterplans such as The Oasis and The Heights Country Club & Wellness, while being a few minutes’ drive from Emaar South, Dubai Marina, and Downtown.

Comprising 22 villa communities and over 6,600 exclusive residences, the game of polo and a passion for all things equestrian form the heart of this new destination. At the centre of this master community lies “The Green Core,” which consists of three expansive polo fields, private stables, a riding school, and a luxurious clubhouse.

“By using landscape berms and expansive lawns, The Green Core was created to foster a harmonious environment that emphasises the beauty of the exclusive equestrian experiences it offers. Positioned at the heart of the masterplan, it enhances the aesthetic appeal while promoting a sense of community and connection to nature,” said a spokesperson from Emaar Development.

The landscape narrative is an equestrian journey that traverses through a multi-sensory environment, offering surprises at every turn and creating an everlasting memory as you glide through moments of grandeur.

With a total open space amounting to 1.59 million SqM, the landscape plan is further segmented into pedestrian and cycling networks, riding trails, countryside meadows, and outer pastures. The polo fields and stables occupy an impressive 340,000 SqM combined.

The Clubhouse is crafted for an ultra-luxury guest and spectator experience. This single-storey building is a modern marvel that draws inspiration from both global and local architectural excellence. A fundamental element of the Clubhouse design is the custom-made clay breeze blocks, derived from the horseshoe, which stand out distinctively on the façades. With a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the fields and swanky F&B options, this hospitality destination will be Dubai’s newest sought-after scene.

The Stables are an architectural gem inspired by spiral geometric control. The organic design encircles a large, landscaped courtyard with a stunning water feature. This iconic design is set to become a significant global landmark in the equestrian realm. Able to accommodate 180 horses, the Stables also feature a plush members’ lounge.

“Circular elements were used to convey expansiveness, frame important landscape moments, and incorporate water features that create a playful, inviting scenery,” added the Emaar Development spokesperson.

Regal residences at Grand Polo Club & Resort range from 3-, 4- and 5-bedroom exclusive villas with views, connectivity, and spaces where light and air engage in thematic play throughout. While some homes allow you to wake up to the energy of horses and the vastness of horizontal greens, others place you in close proximity to key amenities such as linear parks, countryside meadows, outer pastures, the community centre, clubhouse, and more.

Here, seamless landscapes are envisioned to offer a contemporary take on classic polo grounds. Inspired by natural elements and the textures of soil, this new masterplan is set to define the monumentality of the vision.

As Emaar continues to shape the future of luxury living, this new residential community is a thoughtfully designed homage to the heritage of the spectacular game of polo and the equestrian-loving fellowship. Grand Polo Club & Resort is crafted to harness the free spirit and speed of the horse. This is where equestrian opulence reaches far beyond imagination.
