Wellness and sport are gaining prominence in master plans. Communities such as Dubai Sports City, Tilal Al Ghaf, and Emaar South are caringly entwining padel courts, cycling tracks, and Olympic-size pools as their fundamental amenities to attract buyers. At The Sanctuary by Ellington, purchasers are facilitated with fitness hubs and lifestyle coaching as part of their villa package.
The narrative of “active lifestyle” is indeed attracting young families and health-conscious expats. From a market standpoint, properties in wellness-driven communities are fetching 10–15% higher rental yields as compared to the regular suburban developments, thus making fitness not only beneficial for health but also for returns.
