Luxury real estate developer Damac Properties has launched an exclusive collection of hotel spa villas in the heart of the serene Akoya Oxygen master-development in Dubai, UAE.

The hotel spa villas form a community designed to offer the tranquility of a retreat at home, and is set within the lush green environment of Akoya Oxygen in Dubai, said a statement from Damac.

The limited edition hotel villas - which come with a private garden spa, providing a choice of Jacuzzi or sauna, and are fully furnished, in addition to being serviced, for the ultimate experience in luxury - are being offered at prices starting from Dh1.7 million ($462,765), it stated.

On the launch, Niall McLoughlin, the senior vie-president, said: "The hotel spa villas at Akoya Oxygen are designed for those who seek serenity and relaxation in the most convenient location - their home. Amid today's hectic lifestyles, spas are frequently visited for relaxation and well-being, and people travel far at times just to relax and unwind."

"Just imagine if one can enjoy the spa and lift their spirit without ever having to leave the comfort of their home," he added.

The project is set around the Trump World Golf Club, Dubai, an 18-hole championship-standard golf course which is being designed by world famous golfing legend, Tiger Woods.

The course will be managed by The Trump Organization, which has become one of the most influential golf course operators in the world.

Akoya Oxygen is one of the much-awaited new developments, with the principle of creating a lush, green environment in Dubai, to provide an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The 55-million-sq-ft development is a short drive on Umm Suqeim Road in its own private retreat.

“This presents a unique offering for investors as it includes, as a standard feature, the spa facilities that are usually only available when one customises their property, and we all know this is not necessarily cost-effective," stated McLoughlin.

According to him, the hotel spa villas are all designed and fitted out with these amenities, and this keeps the villas at an affordable price.

"At no other place in the current market can one find this offering and at this price, with a location that is second to none within a lush and green environment. For those who wish to rent out their villa, they can expect a high return on investment as such distinctive hotel accommodation is in demand by UAE residents and tourists from around the globe," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
