Lunaya by Zaya is a gated villa community by real estate developer Zaya Real Estate Development located along Sheikh Zayed Road (E11) in the Jebel Ali area, providing direct access to the main highway of the city. The project will accommodate around 500 units, with the project’s community covering 65% of the total area dedicated to parks, gardens, and water areas. The central water body will be a lagoon that spans an area of around 83,613 m², a size that significantly differentiates the project from other city villa projects and sets the project’s framework for the surrounding area.

The architecture design of villas at Lunaya by Zaya is inspired by water, light, and smooth shapes. The project’s architecture features natural elements inspired by nature with soft geometric facades and plenty of glass to ensure that the buildings receive plenty of sunlight. The luxury villas at Lunaya by Zaya boast premium interior materials, such as natural marble, large-format coverings, high ceilings, and double-height living areas. The kitchens come with premium European appliances and ample storage for everyday use. The bathrooms have biohacking-inspired wellness features with natural stone elements and a neutral color scheme that creates a spa-like feel.
The community features infrastructure designed to create a self-contained community. There will be a 4.5 km running and cycling path, padel and pickleball courts, outdoor swimming pools, a gym, a spa area, and a Pilates studio. A separate building will house the wellness spaces that include biohacking areas. Families will enjoy a kids’ club, play areas for children, outdoor cinemas, and more. There will also be a supermarket and a pharmacy to reduce trips to neighboring areas.
The location along Sheikh Zayed Road makes the project highly sought after in terms of logistics. The highway connects many of the city’s main business areas and residential areas. You can access Downtown Dubai, Business Bay, Dubai Marina, and other neighborhoods quickly via the highway. A metro line runs along Sheikh Zayed Road, which further improves public transportation access to properties along the highway.
Traveling to Al Maktoum International Airport takes around 18-25 minutes depending on traffic conditions, while traveling to Dubai International Airport takes between 15-20 minutes.Major shopping and leisure attractions are located close by, such as Dubai Parks & Resorts, Outlet Village, Ibn Battuta Mall, and Festival Plaza with IKEA. Family-oriented schools are within a short drive away, and medical care is provided by major clinics and hospitals in Jebel Ali, DIP and Al Furjan. The beaches of Jebel Ali and JBR are also within a 15-25 minute drive.
Residential properties along Sheikh Zayed Road in Dubai are liquid assets relative to other areas, thanks to their central location, supply of jobs, and ongoing development of road networks. In general, the gross yield for residential real estate in this area can be in the range of 6-7% p.a., with final figures depending on the format of the property, entry price and operating strategy. For villas, the limited supply of high-quality family homes in locations with access to the highway and well-developed external infrastructure is also a factor.
The terms and conditions of purchase at Lunaya by Zaya feature a phased, interest-free installment plan: 10% upon reservation, 15% upon contract signing, 15% during construction, 60% upon the handover. Construction is scheduled for completion Q4 2029. This payment schedule lessens the burden in the early stages, fixes the major payment at key handover.
In short, Lunaya by Zaya is a project that meets two of the most common demands on the market at once: “I want a villa in Dubai” and “I want a convenient location.” It has an address on Sheikh Zayed Road and convenient logistics, a rare combination of advantages in Dubai — an 83,613 m² lagoon, a large area of greenery, well-developed internal infrastructure and interest-free installments with 60% payment at key handover. With a phased, interest-free installment plan and a completion date for construction Q4 2029, it has a clear purchase model that preserves liquidity — for living or as a long-term investment.
