Dubai luxury real estate brokerage Maria Morris Global announced yet another high-value deal in the segment, with the sale of Y3 – KOA’s AMAIA villa in The Collection, a fully custom-built, ultra-luxury mansion in Al Barari, for $29 million (AED 107 million)

Represented by Al Barari specialists Ellie Street and Ryan Almond, the extraordinary 5-bedroom home has set a new benchmark in the exclusive super-prime community, achieving the highest-ever Al Barari villa price per sq. ft. at AED6,316 per sq. ft., the brokerage said.

Spanning an impressive 16,939 sq. ft. of built-up area on a plot of 22,804 sq. ft, Y3 – KOA’s AMAIA villa blends timeless design with state-of-the-art functionality.

Stunning features include a private rooftop bar and lounge, a fully equipped gym, and an executive-grade home office—making it not just a home, but a private sanctuary tailored for the modern ultra-high-net-worth lifestyle.

Ellie Street, Sales Director & Ryan Almond, Area Team Leader at Maria Morris Global, the firm is thrilled to have completed the sale of one of the most stunning ultra-prime homes in Dubai.

“This marks an exciting chapter for Dubai’s luxury property market – and for Al Barari in particular, as we are witnessing a clear shift toward more meaningful ultra-prime purchases, where exceptional design, natural surroundings, and true exclusivity are paramount,” they said.

The AED107 million transaction follows closely behind another headline-making super-prime transaction in Al Barari just two weeks prior, where a custom-built, seven-bedroom villa featuring a full-sized rooftop paddle court sold for over AED121 million.

The two back-to-back super-prime sales mark a significant shift in positioning Al Barari amongst the top-echelon of Dubai’s ultra-prime property landscape, showcasing the unprecedented global demand for exclusive, design-led residences in nature-rich environments.

“This landmark sale of the final villa in The Collection, isn’t just a transaction – it’s a definitive statement. Underscoring the accelerating trend we are witnessing in Dubai’s ultra-luxury sector, particularly with increasing interest from international buyers, notably from Europe. Achieving the highest price per square foot ever recorded in Al Barari, coupled with the exclusive handling of the second most expensive villa sale this year at over AED 100 million, reiterates Allsopp & Allsopp Private Office’s unparalleled presence in Dubai’s ultra-luxury market.

“These achievements aren’t just about breaking records, they signify our deep understanding of global investors and our ability to consistently deliver exceptional off-market properties that redefine luxury living. We are not just participating in the evolution of Dubai’s luxury landscape – we are driving it” Charlie King, Partner at Allsopp & Allsopp added.
