The Acres by Meraas in Dubailand is one of the few communities where every single villa — across 3–5BR homes and The Acres Estates mansions — comes with a confirmed private pool as standard, plus access to swimmable lagoons and floating decks. Handover is planned for Q1 2028, with raft foundations already progressing across 220 villas. The Property Masters is ready to construct bespoke pools for custom plots, commission developer-installed pools at handover, and provide annual maintenance contracts from the first day of occupation. All indicative pricing is confirmed after a site and pool inspection.
Developed by Meraas in Dubailand — five minutes from E311 and approximately 25–30 minutes from Downtown Dubai — The Acres is a nature-first, low-density villa community built around the concept of outdoor living. The masterplan includes the Edible Garden, the Lost Garden, dense foliage corridors, swimmable lagoons, and floating decks. Standalone villas range from 3–5BR (BUA 3,048–6,011 sqft, plots 4,535–9,330 sqft, from AED 5.09M) through to The Acres Estates mansions (5–7BR, plots approximately 12,436–14,516 sqft).
The Acres is currently under active construction — raft foundations were progressing across approximately 220 villas in early 2026, with the project approximately 11% complete at that point. The final phase was launched in March 2025. Handover is targeted for Q1 2028. For buyers who want to plan ahead, this window gives approximately 18 months to specify, design, and lock in a pool contractor — or to pre-agree commissioning and AMC terms before the handover rush.
Unlike many communities where private pools are optional or cluster-dependent, The Acres explicitly includes a private pool with every villa as standard — confirmed across all product types, including in the original EOI materials. This means the commissioning and maintenance demand at Q1 2028 will be proportional to the total villa count, not a subset of it.
The Acres' defining feature is its dense planting: the Edible Garden, the Lost Garden, and woodland corridors throughout the masterplan. This creates a beautiful setting and a measurably higher organic debris load than a conventional villa community — leaves, pollen, and seed material enter pools significantly more frequently. Skimmer baskets fill faster, filter media loads more quickly, and the pool surface requires more frequent brushing. Owners in The Acres will typically need a more frequent cleaning schedule than those in open-plan communities, and a well-specified AMC should account for this from the outset.
The outdoor-living ethos and generous plot sizes across the community support a wide range of pool types. For 3–5BR villas on 4,500–9,000 sqft plots, fibreglass and concrete lap pools or plunge pools are well-suited. For The Acres Estates mansions on 12,000–14,500 sqft plots, large-format concrete pools — including infinity-edge and resort-style designs — are appropriate and complement the landscape architecture. Our team designs, constructs, and commissions all types.
