Majid Al Futtaim
A gated neighbourhood of grand villas at Tilal Al Ghaf, sized from roughly 3,060 to 9,522 sq ft, with a choice of two façade styles and private beach access to Lagoon Al Ghaf.
Alaya is the grand-villa neighbourhood at Tilal Al Ghaf — the largest homes in the community on the largest plots, arranged for privacy rather than density. The developer describes it as a refined collection of grand villas designed around garden space, with the lagoon and community facilities still within the neighbourhood’s reach.
The proposition is customisation. Buyers choose between two façade styles — The Modernist and The Mediterranean — and can add Zen Suite options that extend the living space, so two villas of the same size need not look alike. The published floor plans run from a 3,060 sq ft villa to a 9,522 sq ft home with garage provision, balcony, terrace and, at the top of the range, a sky suite terrace of about 630 sq ft.
Alaya was launched with the ground-breaking announcement for Tilal Al Ghaf’s later phases. Majid Al Futtaim awarded the construction contract to Unec in January 2024 as part of a package worth AED 3 billion alongside Elysian Mansions, with the villa works described as a 26-month programme.
On handover. That January 2024 release targeted completion in early 2026. That date has passed, and the developer does not publish a current completion date on the Alaya page. We ask for the live construction update and the contractual date in writing before any client reserves — and we tell you what we are told, including if the answer is vague.
Compiled October 2026 from the Alaya page and brochure on tilalalghaf.com and Majid Al Futtaim’s January 2024 construction announcement. Prices are released on request.
