Discovery Land Company adds the UAE to its diverse portfolio of international properties, spread across 35 destinations, including USA, Latin America, Europe, and the Caribbean. The exclusive project in Dubai, Discovery Dunes, is the first of its kind in the region with its members-only residences, set to be an intimate safe-haven for like-minded families looking to create long-lasting memories through a rich, diverse offering. Spread across more than 27 million square feet, Discovery Dunes is located in the Golf district of Dubai South, the largest single, urban masterplan development in the UAE.
Discovery Land Company is a global leader in private clubs and communities, best known for its active, family focused lifestyle offering which includes innovatively designed championship golf courses and best in class amenities. Discovery prides itself on its outstanding clubhouses, culinary offerings and approachable yet vigilant staff ensuring a relaxed, best-in-class service, fine-tuned to the personality of each owner. Notably, Discovery Dunes will have Dubai’s first and only private golf course designed by the legendary Tom Fazio; a course that does not adopt a tee time policy and welcomes all golfers from beginner to pro. This echoes one of Discovery’s fundamental values of providing a relaxed environment for all residents to enjoy and experience world-class amenities at their leisure. The Outdoor Pursuits Programme features across all of Discovery’s locations, offering an on-site team to curate a highly bespoke experience. Guides can arrange activities that cater to all abilities, age groups and local interests. From archery to zip-lining, there is an extensive list of activities that are specific to each location and that draw on the natural landscape, such as surfing, hiking, skiing, or scuba diving. Globally, Discovery members can experience beach clubs, organic farms, equestrian facilities, kids clubs and cultural programming.
“We have a proud history in creating one-of-a-kind, unforgettable experiences around the world, a community that not only parents want to live in, but where kids and someday grandkids want to go. Driving this passion, we take our first steps into the Middle East with the launch of Discovery Dunes in Dubai South. We will strive to create an environment for families who want to foster connections and memories and above all, fun. With our global success and lessons learnt, we use this to guide us in creating the world’s best, members-only residences in Dubai, Discovery Dunes.” Mike Meldman, Discovery Land Company Founder and Chairman
