About Acacia
Acacia is a residential apartment complex developed by Emaar Properties in the Park Heights sub-community of Dubai Hills Estate. It comprises three low- to mid-rise buildings, known individually as Acacia at Park Heights A, B and C, standing eight to nine storeys depending on the source consulted. Emaar delivered the complex in phases: independent building-data trackers record the three blocks as completed separately between 2019 and 2022. Combined, the three buildings hold 477 apartments.
Property portals differ slightly on the exact building count and floor height for Acacia. Bayut's building guide describes three eight-storey buildings; Zeus Capital and propsearch.ae, which track the individual blocks separately, record nine floors for at least one building (Acacia at Park Heights A). The 477-unit total and the Emaar Properties developer attribution are consistent across every source checked, so this guide states those figures with confidence and presents the floor count as a range rather than picking one unconfirmed number.
Readers researching Dubai property should note that this Acacia, an Emaar-developed apartment complex in Dubai Hills Estate, is not the same as the 'Acacia' villa type inside Al Barari, a separate gated villa community in the Nad Al Sheba area of Dubailand developed by Abwab Real Estate. Al Barari's Acacia is a six-bedroom villa configuration within its Residences collection, not a stand-alone apartment building, and shares nothing with this Emaar development beyond the name.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Acacia sits in Park Heights, a residential pocket of Dubai Hills Estate close to Al Khail Road, the same sub-community as Mulberry, a neighbouring Emaar apartment development. Dubai Hills Mall, the district's retail and dining hub, is roughly a 6-minute drive away, and the complex borders the wider community's 18-hole championship golf course.
Royale Stays maintains a dedicated Dubai Hills Estate Airbnb management guide covering the wider district, plus separate guides to Mulberry, Collective Tower 2 and Golf Suites, three other Park Heights-area Emaar developments nearby.
Unit Types
Acacia offers one, two and three-bedroom apartments across its three buildings, per Emaar's own listing and confirmed by independent property portals. One-bedroom units run roughly 747 to 825 sq ft, two-bedroom units 1,072 to 1,667 sq ft, and three-bedroom units 1,402 to 3,274 sq ft, reflecting the spread across Buildings A, B and C rather than one fixed layout. Optional maid's rooms are available on some larger units.
Amenities
Acacia's amenities include a temperature-controlled swimming pool, a fitness centre and gym, a steam room and sauna, a massage room, a children's play area, a multi-purpose hall, 24-hour security with CCTV, dedicated covered parking, high-speed elevators, and concierge and valet services, based on the developer's own description and confirmed by independent property portals. The complex is pet-friendly, and residents can access Dubai Hills Golf Club's 18-hole championship course plus jogging and cycling trails nearby.
Transportation & Access
Acacia has direct access to Al Khail Road, connecting to the wider Dubai Hills Estate community and the rest of Dubai. Bayut's building guide lists Dubai Hills Mall roughly 6 minutes away by car, an Al Khail Road bus stop about a minute away, and Mashreq Metro Station roughly 13 minutes away; Royale Stays has not independently confirmed these exact drive and walk times and presents them as reported by that source.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled Acacia-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners can use Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator to model potential returns against comparable Dubai Hills Estate listings.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at Acacia, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit, the same licensing requirement that applies regardless of building or area. An owner considering Airbnb at Acacia would need to hold that permit before listing a unit, in addition to confirming the building's own short-term letting policy. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process and fees generally involve.
Unlike some other Dubai Hills Estate buildings, Acacia does not yet show a strong public short-term rental signal: search results for the building are dominated by resale and long-term rental listing portals (PropertyFinder, Bayut, Dubizzle, propsearch.ae) rather than booking platforms. This does not rule out Airbnb potential at Acacia, but it means demand has not been independently confirmed via public listings, and Royale Stays does not currently have booking data specific to Acacia to draw on, so this guide does not present a building income figure it cannot support.
For an owner weighing whether Airbnb makes sense for a unit at Acacia, the practical starting points are confirming the building's short-term letting policy, applying for the DTCM permit, and pricing the unit against comparable Dubai Hills Estate listings. Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for owners who prefer not to handle it directly. Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review to get a clearer read on its Airbnb potential.
Royale Stays does not yet have Acacia-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; this section reflects the currently limited public STR signal for Acacia only, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
