‘Spatacular’ ... Dubailand and Palmarosa officials at the groundbreaking ceremony.

Work on a Dh1.5-billion ($408.3 million) spa community within Dubailand, the world’s most ambitious leisure, tourism and entertainment destination, has started.

Called Palmarosa, the project is spread over 2.5 million sq ft and is billed as the first spa lifestyle community in the Middle East.
Palmarosa will consist of 217 villas and townhouses, serviced apartments, club houses, offices and a five-star hotel along with a spa mall that will be dedicated to selling spa products at Dubailand.
To be developed by Gulf Developers, Palmarosa will be located off Emirates Road behind the Arabian Ranches, offering residents a unique lifestyle and ultimate relaxation through various forms of holistic healing and well-being. Designed as Dubai’s primary botanical wonder, it will feature majestic palms, bubbling fountains and a unique variety of plants and flowers selected to instill peace. The development will also boast one of the largest spa facilities in the region.
