Introducing Dubai’s First Forest-Integrated Residences
Maravelle Residences at Ghaf Woods introduces a pioneering residential category in Dubai: forest-integrated living designed around wellness, privacy, and long-term lifestyle value. Developed by Majid Al Futtaim, this boutique collection sits within Ghaf Woods, Dubai’s first master-planned forest community in Dubailand.
Unlike conventional projects, Maravelle is intentionally limited in scale. The development consists of only four low-rise buildings and 96 residences, creating a quiet, low-density environment focused on quality of life.
Surrounded by mature greenery and designed to generate its own microclimate, Maravelle offers air that is approximately 20% cleaner and ambient temperatures up to 5 degrees cooler than surrounding areas, positioning it as one of Dubai’s most climate-conscious residential environments.
Project Overview
- Developer: Majid Al Futtaim
- Community: Ghaf Woods, Dubailand (Wadi Al Safa 4)
- Building Configuration: Four low-rise buildings (G+5)
- Total Residences: 96 apartments and duplexes
- Homes per Floor: Four residences per floor
- Target Certifications: WELL Residential, LEED Gold, WiredScore Platinum
- Estimated Handover: Q2 2029
Architecture & Living Concept
Maravelle Residences is designed around the idea of intentional living. The architecture prioritises natural light, cross-ventilation, and a visual connection with greenery. Buildings are positioned within the forest, allowing residences to overlook trees rather than roads or towers.
Vehicles are kept underground, creating a pedestrian-first environment with shaded walkways, gardens, and quiet communal spaces. The result is a calm, resort-like atmosphere rarely found in urban Dubai.
Each residence features 3-metre-high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and expansive terraces that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
Curated Interior Collections
Buyers can choose between two curated interior palettes:
- Lumora: A light, ethereal design using green marble accents, soft textures, and sustainable low-emission materials inspired by woodland environments.
- Marwood: A warmer, grounded palette combining natural timber, red travertine stone, and earthy tones that echo the forest landscape.
Both styles support wellbeing with circadian lighting, advanced air filtration, CO₂ sensors, and energy-efficient systems.
