Emirates Hills (Template:Langx) is a gated community located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.[1] It is named after Beverly Hills.[2]
Emirates Hills is referred to as 'Dubai's old-money enclave'.[3] The community is regarded as unique because of the size of the plots, the location next to two golf courses-Montgomerie and Emirates Golf Club, the presence of lake-facing mansions and it's central location.[3] In 2025 Lakshmi Mittal bought a Villa in Emirates Hills for AED 425 million/$116 million[4] (some news outlets erroneously reported the price as AED 367 million/$100 million.)[5] Realtors maintain that the real value lies in the land rather than the Villa construction.[3]The most coveted plots are those with views over the golf course that typically sell for between AED 2000/$545 and AED 3000/$ 818 per square foot.[3] A handful of plots that are located on high ground with spectacular views over lakes and the premium holes of the golf course can command huge premiums. These exceptional and rarely available lands sell at starting rates of AED 4,500/$1,226 per square foot and can surpass prevailing records of AED 7,154/$2,000 per square foot.[3][6] In 2022 an Emirates Hills plot of 41,704 square feet sold for AED 209 million/$57 million or AED 5,011/$1365 per square foot.
