Discover Villanova

Villanova is a freehold community comprising villas and townhouses in the southeast of Dubailand. It is developed by Dubai Properties. Launched in 2016, the masterplan spans multiple phases across four residential clusters: Amaranta, La Quinta, La Rosa and La Violeta. Villanova Dubai Properties features Spanish and Portuguese design elements with warm earthy tones, stucco facades, terracotta roofs and arched doorways that give the community its signature character. 

Properties range from 2 to 5-bedrooms across 1,700 to 2,600 sq. ft., offering spacious homes ideal for families. The physical layout prioritizes outdoor living. Each villa comes with private gardens and townhouses cluster around landscaped courtyards. 

Communal spaces include a community pool, children’s play areas, jogging tracks and barbecue zones. La Quinta was the first cluster to be completed and La Rosa has reached near-completion, whereas Amaranta and newer phases are still in development phases.

Villanova sits along Emirates Road (E611) and Muhammad Bin Zayed Road (E311), putting residents 15 minutes from Dubai Outlet Mall and Academic City. Other notable landmarks nearby include Al Habtoor Polo Club and IMG Worlds of Adventure.
