Kayan Villas 2

The short version:

Spacious four- and five-bedroom villas with private pools, in a gated coastal community between Abu Dhabi and Dubai with a private beach and marina. This is for families who want space, privacy and a resort lifestyle, and who are happy to trade a city address for the coast.

Who is behind it

Kayan is a villa phase within AlJurf Gardens, developed by IMKAN. AlJurf Gardens is a master-planned coastal community in Ghantoot, on the coastline between Abu Dhabi and Dubai. It is freehold, so buyers of any nationality can own here.

The villas

Kayan offers two distinct architectural styles:

-> Rawya villas: contemporary design with clean lines and expansive glazing
-> Rihal villas: culturally inspired architecture that draws on regional heritage

Both come in four- and five-bedroom configurations, with four-bedroom homes from about 3,552 sq ft and five-bedroom homes up to about 5,576 sq ft. Each villa spans two floors, with balconies and terraces, and includes a private swimming pool set within its own courtyard. Four-bedroom villas include covered parking for two cars, and five-bedroom villas include covered parking for three.

Organic materials, shaded courtyards and generous openings blur the line between inside and out. Interiors use modern, high-quality materials in a natural palette, and kitchens come fully equipped.

Community and amenities

AlJurf Gardens is built around the coast:

-> Waterfront: a private beach, beach access, water activities and a marina
-> Outdoors: landscaped gardens, a jogging track and children's play areas
-> Everyday life: a community centre, retail and dining, and wellness facilities

The location

This part of the coast is quieter and greener than the city, with lagoons, sandy beaches and a focus on preserving the natural landscape. Its position between the two cities is its practical strength: Abu Dhabi and Dubai are both within reach by road, which suits families with ties to both emirates or residents who work in one and socialise in the other.

Who it suits

-> Families who want a large villa, a private pool and beach access in a secure, low-density setting.
-> Second-home buyers and investors looking for a coastal retreat backed by a recognised master developer.

Expect a more relaxed, resort-style pace of life than in central Abu Dhabi. That is the appeal, but it also means more driving for daily commutes into either city.
