About the Building
Zen Lagoons is a wellness-themed residential tower under development in Meydan Horizon, Bu Kadra, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. It is developed by Zennova Realty, in partnership with Sanzen Developments, and was introduced to the market in 2025 with construction beginning in 2026. Reported storey counts vary slightly by source, from a 24-storey to a 28-storey tower (one source gives a more granular breakdown of ground plus 4 podium levels plus 23 upper floors), likely reflecting different counting conventions for the podium levels rather than a real discrepancy.
Zen Lagoons is a separate, distinct project from The Zen Tower in Dubai Marina: different area, different developer, different building. Readers searching for either project by name should confirm the area before comparing the two, as the shared word Zen is coincidental branding, not a sister-project relationship.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Zen Lagoons sits within Meydan Horizon, Bu Kadra, part of Mohammed Bin Rashid City. Per the developer, Meydan One Mall is around 10 minutes away, Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa around 12 minutes, and Dubai International Airport around 15 minutes. Royale Stays’ MBR City Airbnb management guide covers the wider Meydan area.
Meydan Horizon is also home to fellow wellness and waterfront-themed developments Claydon House and The Waterway by Prestige One, both worth comparing for owners weighing a Meydan Horizon purchase.
Unit Types & Amenities
Zen Lagoons offers 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments, with reported sizes ranging from roughly 630 to 1,600 sq ft depending on the source and layout. The development is planned around four crystal lagoons and a 4km waterfront promenade with private beach access, and leans heavily into a wellness positioning: an infinity pool, private yoga and meditation spaces, a fitness and wellness hub, a sound healing room, a massage room, a jogging track, and a dedicated outdoor Zen garden, alongside more conventional amenities such as a children’s play area, a gym and a mosque.
Per the Dubai Land Department's own pre-construction estimate (cited by propsearch.ae), total project value is reported at approximately AED 140 million; this is a single-source, developer-submitted estimate and has not been independently cross-verified against a second source.
Rental & Price Trends
Zen Lagoons is currently listed off-plan, with prices starting from approximately AED 1.4 to 1.6 million depending on the source and unit. As a pre-handover project still under construction ahead of its targeted Q4 2028 handover, it does not yet have a completed-unit resale history. Owners weighing a Zen Lagoons purchase against other Meydan Horizon options can model both scenarios with Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Zen Lagoons is a pre-handover, off-plan development, so no current Airbnb or short-term rental activity exists there yet, and Royale Stays makes no claim of managing any unit in the building today.
Once handed over, Meydan’s established demand for short stays near Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, plus Zen Lagoons’ waterfront setting and fully furnished, wellness-oriented amenities, would make individual units realistic short-term rental candidates for owners. Zen Lagoons is a standard freehold apartment development, not a hotel-branded or serviced-apartment building, so the usual owner-direct DTCM holiday-home permit application applies once handover completes; Royale Stays has no confirmed prohibition here. Royale Stays’ Airbnb management services, furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, are available from a management fee starting at 15%. Owners planning ahead of handover can submit their property for a free assessment.
Royale Stays has no current partnership, affiliation, or commercial relationship with Zennova Realty or Sanzen Developments. This page is an independent building guide for owners and investors researching the project.
