Is AED 10 million justified for a four-bedroom villa? Aldar, the Abu Dhabi government-backed developer, introduces an attractive alternative with Athlon. Situated between Arabian Ranches 1, 2, and 3, this community combines spacious homes with a strong focus on health and wellness.
The global wellness economy is expected to be worth around USD 9 trillion by 2028, with wellness real estate alone heading towards USD 1 trillion by 2029. In Dubai, wellness developments have appreciated in value twice as fast as conventional projects in recent years. Athlon capitalises on this trend with large villas, extensive greenery, and amenities that cater to the demands of affluent end-users.
Space, Quality, and Strategic Location
More than 70% of real estate transactions in 2025 involved four or five-bedroom villas, indicating strong demand for large family homes. Athlon offers a built-up area of approximately 465 m² on a plot of around 697 m². This is significantly more spacious than many comparable homes in areas such as Dubai Hills, where prices are higher despite smaller areas. Compared to Arabian Ranches, Athlon also offers a more modern and complete community at a more competitive price.
With an asking price of approximately AED 10.5 million, Athlon offers a combination of space, greenery, and high-quality amenities that is rare in Dubailand.
