About the Community
Elysian Mansions is a bespoke waterfront villa community developed by Majid Al Futtaim within Tilal Al Ghaf, Dubai’s lagoon-centred master community. Majid Al Futtaim’s own January 2024 contract announcement describes Elysian Mansions as a community of 94 exclusive mansions, though several broker and listing sites instead cite 92 villas, a figure with no stated primary source of its own. This guide uses the developer’s own figure of 94.
The design draws its name and inspiration from the Elysian Fields of Greek mythology. Majid Al Futtaim’s official announcement describes the villas as customizable five- to six-bedroom homes, while some broker listings market units up to seven bedrooms, which likely reflects the largest customized layouts rather than a separate confirmed configuration. Innovo Build LLC is the main contractor. Elysian Mansions should not be confused with The Elysian Residence, an unrelated 11-storey apartment tower in Al Satwa developed by Evolutions, or with the Dubai Islands developer that also uses the Elysian name. It is also a distinct neighbourhood from Serenity Mansions, a separate Majid Al Futtaim community elsewhere within Tilal Al Ghaf that uses the same naming convention.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Elysian Mansions sits on the shore of the central Lagoon Al Ghaf, with direct access to a 120-metre private beach reserved for mansion owners. The wider Tilal Al Ghaf master community has no Dubai Metro station of its own, with the nearest stations roughly 20 to 25 minutes away by car, making it a car-dependent community by design, in line with most large-format villa masterplans in Dubai.

Mansion Types
Elysian Mansions is organised into three architectural styles based on plot position: Hilltop, Lagoonside and Park Lane. Lagoonside mansions sit closest to the water with the most direct lagoon and beach access, Hilltop villas occupy the community’s elevated plots, and Park Lane villas sit further into the community’s landscaped interior. Unit sizes start from 10,344 sq ft at launch and run up to roughly 18,000 sq ft for the largest configurations, all sold with customizable interiors and exteriors, premium finishes such as veined marble and carved timber, and smart home technology as standard.
Amenities
Owners have direct access to Lagoon Al Ghaf and its private beach section, plus the wider Tilal Al Ghaf community’s shared facilities: a basketball court, a children’s swimming pool, a fitness centre, jogging and cycling paths, landscaped walkways, parks and open green space. As a newer, higher-end neighbourhood within the master community, Elysian Mansions is positioned as one of Tilal Al Ghaf’s most exclusive addresses, alongside the similarly named but separate Serenity Mansions neighbourhood.
Transportation & Access
Tilal Al Ghaf has no Metro station of its own; the nearest stations are roughly 20 to 25 minutes away by car, and the community is genuinely car-dependent, consistent with the rest of the master plan. Access to the wider road network runs through Tilal Al Ghaf’s main entrances connecting to Hessa Street and Al Qudra Road.
Rental & Price Trends
Elysian Mansions launched from AED 18,500,000, and live resale listings today range roughly from AED 22.4 million to AED 28 million for 5-bedroom villas of around 10,672 sq ft, confirming an active secondary market has already formed even as the community’s staggered handover continues. As an ultra-luxury, low-density mansion community rather than an apartment-heavy district, owners should expect a smaller, more bespoke comparable-listing pool than in areas like Dubai Marina or Downtown Dubai. Owners weighing an Elysian Mansions property against a standard long-term Ejari tenancy can model both scenarios with Royale Stays’ Dubai property ROI calculator.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including an Elysian Mansions villa, requires a DTCM holiday home permit. Majid Al Futtaim is a standard freehold master developer, not a hotel brand or serviced-apartment operator, so the permit is applied for directly, the same routing that applies at Victory Heights, Mudon and Arabian Ranches. Read more in Royale Stays’ holiday home permit guide.
Royale Stays does not currently manage a property in Elysian Mansions, and no Elysian-specific STR listing data was found during research, consistent with the community’s own handover still being in a staggered rollout. The company’s real Dubai villa short-term rental track record comes from a managed villa in MAG City, part of the MBR City masterplan, plus villas in DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2. 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 ready to move forward can submit their property for a free assessment.
Income data reflects Royale Stays' own managed MAG City villa, a separate MBR City property, Hospitable-verified for December 2025 to April 2026, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator. Elysian Mansions-specific performance data is not available.
