Bonds Avenue Residences redefines coastal wellness through smart architecture and healthy living
This concept comes to life through a wellness-first approach at Bonds Avenue Residences, a signature project of Amirah Developments, on Dubai Islands that is capturing the imagination of what modern coastal living should feel like.
Conveniently located on Dubai Islands next to the historic Deira and Shindagha districts, Bonds Avenue Residences is just ten minutes away from Dubai International – the world's busiest airport and five minutes away from the Gold Souq – one of the world's largest gold and diamond jewellery retail markets – that will redefine its value in the coming years as the most desired destination to live.
Surrounded by over 21 kilometres of uninterrupted beach on Dubai Islands, Bonds Avenue Residences is designed to serve as a lifestyle retreat that integrates movement, mindfulness, and nature into daily life. With dedicated yoga decks, outdoor padel courts, and landscaped gardens throughout the community, residents are offered more than luxury - they are offered balance.
The wellness philosophy at Bonds Avenue Residences begins with the morning. Residents can ease into their day with a sunrise yoga session on open-air decks positioned to catch the gentle sea breeze. These decks are not just aesthetically pleasing, but also create space for focused breathing, flexibility, and clarity, setting the tone for a grounded day ahead. More than a fitness amenity, the yoga areas reflect a growing desire among UAE residents for homes that support mental well-being as much as physical health.
For those seeking active recreation, Bonds Avenue Residences features outdoor padel courts that bring together fitness and fun in equal measure. The sport, which has surged in popularity across the UAE, is fast-paced yet accessible, providing residents of all ages a way to stay active while also building community. Located within a lushly landscaped setting, the courts offer a casual, energising alternative to indoor gyms.
The development's wider layout supports a wellness rhythm that flows through every aspect of community life. Landscaped gardens and walkways invite leisurely strolls, mindful moments, and connection with the natural world. Shaded seating areas and open green spaces provide room to disconnect from screens and reconnect with self, family, or neighbours. Together, these elements create an environment that promotes healthy routines without effort.
This thoughtful integration of body and mind is not just a design choice, it is a response to real demand. In recent years, the UAE has seen a marked shift in resident preferences, with wellness emerging as a top priority in residential communities. Surveys have shown that over 80 percent of homebuyers in Dubai now consider health-focused amenities such as green space, walkability, and active lifestyle zones essential when selecting a home. The UAE government's own National Wellbeing Strategy 2031 further reflects this shift, placing long-term quality of life at the centre of national development goals.
In line with this vision, Bonds Avenue Residences represents a new era of living one that blends luxury with longevity, and design with intention. Speaking about the development's wellness philosophy, Mr. Muhammad Yousuf Jafrani, Founder and Chairman of Amirah Developments, shared, 'We believe true luxury today lies in how a space makes you feel. At Bonds Avenue Residences, we have created an environment that supports calm, clarity, and vitality, offering our residents not just a home, but a daily experience of wellness.'
Located on Dubai Islands, Bonds Avenue Residences also provides residents with quick access to Souq Al Marfa, Dubai Creek, Downtown Dubai, and Dubai International Airport. The nearby Gold Souq Metro Station ensures ease of movement across the city, while the upcoming Night Souq and Dubai Islands Marina will further elevate the area into a vibrant lifestyle hub.
In every detail from morning yoga to evening walks Bonds Avenue Residences delivers a community that nurtures both body and mind. It is a rare intersection of design, wellness, and waterfront living, tailored for a new generation that values peace, presence, and purpose in where they live.

Summer 2025: You need some linen in your life
I know what you're thinking: Barbiecore is so summer 2023, what is she doing harping on about a trend that's two years old? And you'd be right; on the face of it, pink gingham is quintessentially Margot Robbie on the Barbie press tour during a summer experienced through the haze of rose-tinted glasses. So why this year, when the performance of luxury fashion's megabrands looks anything but rosy, have I chosen to highlight a look that's core BBB (Before Birkenstock Barbie)? Firstly, yes, the outfit on this page is undeniably pink gingham, but it also comes in at least six other varieties, from cool girl citron to Bloomsbury-era blooms. However, it's not the colours or prints that make it a summer wardrobe staple, nor is it the simplicity of the A-line silhouette (with pockets), although both are key (as are pockets). It's that it is made from 100 per cent linen, and pure linen is, nine times out of 10, the answer to all your summer holiday wardrobe woes. Why? I find that much of what I wear in Dubai doesn't work in the rest of the world. It's either too boujee, too impractical for actual weather, or simply doesn't translate to a lifestyle of walking rather than valeting. Enter linen. With linen, you can still wear a girly dress or cute co-ord shorts and a bodice top, and not look like you took a wrong turn out of Bar Du Port. You can even wear pink gingham and not risk appearing like you're stuck in a summer 2023 time warp. Linen pink gingham is timeless. Polyester pink gingham is challenging. Linen opens up a wealth of footwear options; essential when you're either on foot or on public transport, and as likely to encounter cobblestone as a sudden downpour. It works with flip-flops, dad sandals, ballet flats, kitten heels, cowboy boots, even trainers. I can clock up to 25,000 steps a day on my summer hols and — despite fashion's insistence that they are over — I have yet to be prised out of my all-ivory Adidas Sambas (the key is to buy the decon rather than the OG edition, for the softest, collapsible leather that's blister-resistant). Aside from cotton and denim, no other fabric is as fashionably footwear fluid as linen. Linen is never over-dressed, nor under-dressed. You can wear it covered in floral print, gussied up with bows and frou-frous and it won't look muttony. Likewise, an oversized linen shirt and drawstring shorts is as comfy as pyjamas yet still reads chic. Summer 2025's linen brand of choice is the Australian label Posse, which has, over the years, been worn by the likes of Meghan Markle, Katie Holmes, and Selena Gomez, while Sofia Richie chose one of the brand's skirt sets for her wedding weekend. In the UAE, Posse is stocked by Ounass and Bloomingdale's, but you'll have to move fast, sizes sell out quickly. My longtime go-to for linen co-ords and dresses is US brand Reformation, also at Ounass in the UAE. Many of its styles incorporate a smocked back, for a flexible fit that looks bespoke. When I want to wear something a bit special, but not a project that I've tried too hard, Reformation is my go-to. Its relaxed linen 'Aubree' dress (Dh390) consistently sells out each summer. Right now, I'm eyeing the 'Janu' dress (Dh1,150) in a spun sugar shade that looks excellent with black accessories. On the high street, Marks & Spencer and Zara do brilliant linen — opt for solids or basic prints like stripes and polka dots, rather than florals when shopping the high street. Linen speaks to tousled hair and mismatched heirloom jewellery. It does not pair well with logos, Labubus and Louboutins. Yes, it creases like a beast, but — outside of Dubai at least — appearing artfully crumpled, whether of face or fashion, is increasingly a badge of honour. Like ageing gracefully, linen is the last word in low-key luxe living.

The rise of 'Lifestyle Districts': How mixed-use communities are shaping UAE real estate
The UAE is witnessing a significant shift in how people live, work, and connect. Traditional models marked by long commutes, fragmented neighborhoods, and disconnected daily routines are rapidly giving way to a new urban paradigm — lifestyle districts. These thoughtfully planned, mixed-use communities seamlessly integrate residential, commercial, and recreational spaces within a cohesive environment. Far more than real estate developments, they embody a modern approach to living that prioritises convenience, sustainability, and a strong sense of community. In recent years, mixed-use developments have emerged as a defining trend in the UAE's dynamic property market. Driven by urban growth and evolving consumer expectations, these integrated communities are reshaping the fabric of daily life. By offering essential amenities—such as workplaces, retail outlets, dining venues, and leisure facilities within walkable distances, lifestyle districts significantly reduce the need for extensive travel, enhancing both efficiency and quality of life for residents. Evolving Lifestyle Demands Ali Al Gebely, Founder and Chairman of One Development, highlights how DO Hotels & Residences Dubai Islands responds to these modern demands: 'Today's residents and travelers seek more than just a place to live or stay, they seek dynamic, holistic experiences that seamlessly blend comfort, convenience, and community.' He adds, 'This hospitality development reflects these evolving expectations by offering curated experiences and thoughtful design that respond intuitively to the UAE's cosmopolitan rhythm, delivering seamless living that feels personal yet expansive.' Every element at DO Dubai Islands is carefully crafted to anticipate and celebrate the diverse needs of modern urbanites — whether it's the fast-paced schedule of a busy professional or the quiet moments of a family evening. According to Al Gebely, 'DO Dubai Islands is a living reflection of the UAE's vibrant diversity, creating spaces where every element is in harmony with you.' Similarly, Tilal Al Ghaf sets a benchmark for integrated community living that caters to the nuanced lifestyle needs of today's urban dwellers. Ahmed El Shamy, CEO of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, describes the vision behind the project: 'Tilal Al Ghaf was envisioned as more than just a residential project; it is a response to the growing demand for authentic, sustainable, lifestyle-driven community living.' He explains that residents in the UAE now seek environments fostering wellbeing, human connection, and belonging, beyond just physical comfort. 'From walkable neighbourhoods and abundant green spaces to waterfront living and curated retail and dining experiences, Tilal Al Ghaf has been purposefully designed to meet the needs of today's families, residents, and the future of integrated urban living,' says El Shamy. Tilal Al Ghaf embodies the aspirations of a diverse and globally minded population, valuing balance between work, leisure, and family life within a consciously planned setting. El Shamy emphasises, 'At Majid Al Futtaim, we believe in creating destinations that go beyond bricks and mortar, places that resonate with the values of modern consumers, offering experiences that foster connection, purpose, and a genuine integration into their surroundings.' Shaping Intelligent Communities Innovation in design and smart infrastructure is revolutionising how mixed-use communities come to life, shaping environments that are both intelligent and deeply connected to the needs of modern living. Al Gebely emphasises that 'Innovation is at the core of our vision. By integrating advanced AI technologies into design and infrastructure, we create communities that are not only smart but truly intelligent.' He explains that this approach guides every design decision, crafting flexible spaces that evolve alongside shifting lifestyles and fostering connectivity that 'keeps everyone and everything in perfect sync.' The outcome, he says, is a community that 'feels alive, intuitive, and in tune with the modern world.' Echoing this transformative vision, El Shamy highlights the UAE's leadership in reimagining urban life through smart city principles. 'At Majid Al Futtaim, we view innovation not as an add-on, but as a core enabler of better living,' he asserts. His team designs communities aligned with contemporary mobility needs, bolstered by 'data-driven infrastructure and digital platforms that make daily life more seamless, intuitive, and connected.' But innovation, Shamy stresses, goes hand in hand with sustainability. 'We design with intent, ensuring our destinations meet the highest global standards, including BREEAM and LEED certifications,' he notes, citing the Net Positive Mosque at Tilal Al Ghaf—a regional first that generates more energy than it consumes as a powerful symbol of their climate-conscious ambition. Designing Communities That Feel Like Home In today's fast-paced urban world, the concept of community living has evolved far beyond shared spaces and familiar faces. Developers are now tasked with creating environments where a genuine sense of belonging is not only encouraged but seamlessly woven into daily life. For Al Gebely, belonging begins with thoughtful design. 'We believe that true belonging comes from thoughtfully designed spaces where people naturally come together — not because they must, but because the environment invites them to,' he explains. From early morning padel matches to afternoons spent along the beach or marina front, and evenings echoing with children's laughter in lush parks, the rhythm of community life is carefully curated. 'Every space is curated to bring people closer,' he adds. With wellness centers that nurture both body and mind, and coworking hubs that fuel creativity and collaboration, One Development ensures every lifestyle offering supports the diverse rhythms of modern life. Similarly, Majid Al Futtaim Properties is placing people at the core of its communities by championing inclusivity and purpose-driven living. 'Creating a sense of belonging starts with understanding the diverse aspirations of the people who call our communities home,' says El Shamy. The group integrates social interaction, cultural expression, and wellness into the everyday, offering everything from vibrant events and well-being initiatives to partnerships with institutions like the Royal Grammar School Guildford Dubai. 'We ensure every resident, from young families to professionals and retirees, can find their place,' El Shamy notes. Even more crucially, residents are given opportunities to shape their environment. 'We provide platforms for residents to co-create experiences, ensuring the community feels shaped by its people, not just for them.' Shaping the Future of Urban Investment Mixed-use communities are rapidly becoming the cornerstone of modern real estate investment in the UAE, offering not only dynamic living experiences but also sustainable, long-term value for investors. According to Al Gebely, lifestyle districts thrive because they 'offer investors the strength of diversity and balance.' He explains, 'By integrating residential, commercial, and leisure spaces, these districts create resilient ecosystems that attract a broad spectrum of people and businesses, thereby mitigating risks and enhancing long-term returns.' For forward-thinking investors, such developments align seamlessly with the UAE's national vision, where sustainability, smart cities, and future-readiness transcend buzzwords to become tangible realities. 'Investing in these developments means investing in a future where lifestyle, convenience, and innovation coexist in perfect harmony,' Al Gebely continues. 'Over the next decade, lifestyle districts will fundamentally reshape the UAE's real estate landscape by redefining urban living experiences. They will serve as cultural and economic hubs, bringing people together and fostering communities built on shared values and meaningful connections.' El Shamy highlights the strong interest that Tilal Al Ghaf has garnered since its inception. 'From its integrated masterplan to its focus on quality of life, the community's steady growth and robust demand reflect a growing appetite for well-executed lifestyle destinations that cater to modern living—not merely as places to reside but as places to invest in both emotionally and financially,' he says. What makes these communities especially appealing is their ability to adapt to evolving expectations of residents and investors alike. El Shamy emphasises, 'As consumer preferences shift toward walkability, wellness, connectivity, and sustainability, mixed-use communities stand out by delivering on all these fronts. They represent holistic ecosystems designed for contemporary lifestyles while offering strong returns and future-proof investment potential.' 'They will set new benchmarks in sustainability, technology, and human-centered design,' Al Gebely adds, 'making cities more livable, inclusive, and inspiring.' El Shamy concludes, 'Over the next decade, lifestyle districts will redefine urban experiences in the UAE, shifting the focus from isolated real estate projects to immersive environments that embody true liveability. As cities pursue ambitious sustainability goals and embrace digital transformation, lifestyle districts will become essential frameworks driving inclusive growth, environmental stewardship, and socio-economic vitality.'
