Emaar, the world’s leading real estate developer, has unveiled plans for a sprawling 5.54 million square metre luxury residential development centered around polo fields and equestrian facilities.
The Grand Polo Club & Resort represents a bold fusion of upscale residential development with polo and equestrian heritage at its core. Strategically positioned just minutes from the upcoming expansion of Al Maktoum International Airport, the development sits amongst other Emaar masterplans including The Oasis and The Heights Country Club & Wellness, while remaining a short drive from Emaar South, Dubai Marina, and Downtown.
The ambitious project will feature 22 villa communities comprising over 6,600 exclusive residences, all centred around what Emaar calls “The Green Core” – a spectacular complex housing three expansive polo fields, private stables, a riding school, and a luxurious clubhouse.
“By using landscape berms and expansive lawns, The Green Core was created to foster a harmonious environment that emphasises the beauty of the exclusive equestrian experiences it offers. Positioned at the heart of the masterplan, it enhances the aesthetic appeal while promoting a sense of community and connection to nature,” said a spokesperson from Emaar Development.
The masterplan’s landscape design creates what the developer describes as “an equestrian journey that traverses through a multi-sensory environment, offering surprises at every turn and creating an everlasting memory as you glide through moments of grandeur.”
With 1.59 million square metres dedicated to open spaces, the development incorporates extensive pedestrian and cycling networks, riding trails, countryside meadows, and outer pastures. The polo fields and stables alone occupy an impressive 340,000 square metres.
The Clubhouse, designed for “ultra-luxury guest and spectator experience,” features modern architecture drawing from both global and local influences. Its distinctive façade incorporates custom-made clay breeze blocks inspired by horseshoes. The single-storey building also boasts a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the polo fields and premium dining options.
Perhaps most striking are the Stables, which Emaar describes as “an architectural gem inspired by spiral geometric control.” The organic design encircles a landscaped courtyard with a water feature, creating what the developer expects to become “a significant global landmark in the equestrian realm.” The facility can accommodate 180 horses and includes a members’ lounge.
“Circular elements were used to convey expansiveness, frame important landscape moments, and incorporate water features that create a playful, inviting scenery,” added the Emaar Development spokesperson.
The residential offerings range from three to five-bedroom villas, each designed to maximise views, connectivity, and what Emaar calls “spaces where light and air engage in thematic play throughout.” Locations vary across the development, with some homes overlooking the polo fields and stables, while others are positioned near key community amenities.
The Grand Polo Club & Resort represents what Emaar describes as “a thoughtfully designed homage to the heritage of the spectacular game of polo and the equestrian-loving fellowship,” concluding that the development is “crafted to harness the free spirit and speed of the horse” in a place “where equestrian opulence reaches far beyond imagination.”
