About Palm Hills
Palm Hills is a gated villa community developed by Emaar Properties within the wider Dubai Hills Estate masterplan. Sales for the project launched in June 2021, with construction beginning that August. The community's standout feature is its interior design collaboration with fashion designer Elie Saab, his first interior-design concept in Dubai Hills Estate, applied across two distinct five-bedroom villa collections.
Palm Hills villas come in two collections: Flora and Bloom. The Flora Collection has a total floor area of 5,511 square feet, made up of 4,498 square feet of living area, a 615 square-foot garage, a 322 square-foot balcony and a 76 square-foot terrace. The Bloom Collection is larger, with a total floor area of 6,573 square feet, comprising 5,546 square feet of living area, a 674 square-foot garage, a 302 square-foot balcony and a 50 square-foot terrace. Both collections blend modern and classical design elements with high-quality materials and finishes, and select plots enjoy views toward Burj Khalifa and the wider Dubai skyline. Completion was targeted for Q4 2024, and the community is now delivered and trading in the resale villa market.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Palm Hills sits within Dubai Hills Estate, Emaar's large masterplan community built around a championship golf course, close to Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Hills Golf Club. The wider Dubai Hills Estate community sits roughly midway between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, giving Palm Hills residents reasonably central access to both areas by car.
Palm Hills joins Royale Stays' wider Dubai Hills Estate guide cluster alongside Maple and other Dubai Hills Estate villa and apartment guides, part of Royale Stays' broader coverage of the community set out in its Dubai Hills Estate Airbnb management guide. Royale Stays also covers Elvira, another Dubai Hills Estate tower nearby, and Emerald Hills, a golf-course villa-plot community in the same masterplan.
Unit Types
Palm Hills is made up entirely of five-bedroom villas across two collections. The Flora Collection has a total floor area of 5,511 square feet (4,498 square feet of living area, a 615 square-foot garage, a 322 square-foot balcony and a 76 square-foot terrace). The Bloom Collection is larger, at 6,573 square feet total (5,546 square feet of living area, a 674 square-foot garage, a 302 square-foot balcony and a 50 square-foot terrace). Both collections were designed in collaboration with fashion designer Elie Saab, combining modern and classical architectural elements.
Amenities
Palm Hills residents have access to a nearby golf course, a gymnasium, a swimming pool, and a range of retail and dining options within Dubai Hills Estate, alongside landscaped greenery throughout the gated community. As part of the wider Dubai Hills Estate masterplan, residents also benefit from Dubai Hills Mall and Dubai Hills Golf Club nearby.
Transportation & Access
Palm Hills is a car-dependent villa community, consistent with the rest of Dubai Hills Estate. There is no metro station within the community itself; residents rely on the internal Dubai Hills Estate road network to reach Al Khail Road and onward to Downtown Dubai or Dubai Marina, both roughly a twenty-to-thirty-minute drive depending on traffic.
Rental & Price Trends
No independently verified rental or resale price figure specific to Palm Hills is used in this guide. Available sources gave conflicting numbers depending on whether they reflected the project's original 2021 launch pricing or current 2026 resale listings, so no single figure is quoted here. In general terms, Palm Hills villas trade as multi-million-dirham properties, consistent with their five-bedroom size and Elie Saab-designed interiors, but owners should treat any online estimate for this specific community as a starting point for their own research, not a guaranteed figure.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Royale Stays does not currently manage any villas in Palm Hills or the wider Dubai Hills Estate community, so there is no Palm-Hills-specific earnings figure to quote here. What can be said honestly is that Emaar's development of Dubai Hills Estate carries no short-term-letting restriction of the kind that applies to hotel-branded buildings like Vida, so a Palm Hills villa is not structurally blocked from holiday-home use the way a Vida-branded property would be.
For a genuine sense of what professional villa management can deliver in Dubai, Royale Stays' own resilience data from managing a villa in Mag City, MBR City, and its work across DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2, are the closest real comparisons available, rather than any invented Palm Hills figure. Owners weighing up the permit side of short-term letting can also read Royale Stays' Dubai holiday home permit guide for how the process works in practice.
Royale Stays does not currently manage properties in Palm Hills or the wider Dubai Hills Estate community; figures referenced above are from Royale Stays' own managed villas elsewhere in Dubai, for comparison only.
