Vida Residences Dubai Hills

Vida Residences Dubai Hills is a branded residential development by Emaar, connected to the Vida Hotels & Resorts brand, positioned at the heart of Dubai Hills Estate. Residents have direct access to the lifestyle infrastructure of one of Dubai's largest master-planned communities.

Location & connectivity

Vida Residences sits along Al Khail Road (E44), one of Dubai's primary arterials, giving clean access north toward Downtown Dubai and south toward Dubai South. The development is roughly a 15-min drive to DIFC, 20 min to Dubai Mall, and about 25 min to Dubai International Airport. There is no metro station directly in Dubai Hills Estate; residents rely on private transport or rideshare — the nearest planned metro connection is the Dubai Hills station on the Route 2020 extension, though opening timelines should be verified.

Property mix

The development is apartment-focused, delivered in multiple towers within the Dubai Hills Estate master plan.

• •Apartments: Vida Residences Dubai Hills (Emaar-developed towers, 1–3 bedroom configurations)
• •Penthouses: Available in select upper floors of the Vida towers

Schools

• •GEMS International School – Al Khail (IB curriculum) — approx. 5-min drive
• •GEMS Wellington Academy – Dubai Hills (British curriculum) — approx. 7-min drive
• •Kings' School Al Barsha (British curriculum) — approx. 10-min drive

Shopping & dining

Dubai Hills Mall is the anchor retail destination, a large regional mall a short walk or 2-min drive from the residences, with a hypermarket, cinema, and a wide restaurant lineup. For daily groceries, Carrefour inside Dubai Hills Mall is the primary option. Al Barsha and Mall of the Emirates are within a 10–15-min drive for additional dining and retail variety.

Things to consider

Vida Residences commands a price premium as a branded product within Dubai Hills Estate, and service charge rates tend to be higher than non-branded equivalents in the area. The absence of a functioning metro stop means car dependency is real — worth factoring in for buyers who commute daily.
