Sneak peek into Sania Mirza's Dubai Palm Jumeirah Villa: Poolside playground, cozy corners, big closet and more
Tennis legend Sania Mirza may have stepped off the global court, but her sanctuary on Dubai's Palm Jumeirah is a vibrant continuation of her story. The two-storey, Greek-inspired mansion, valued at Rs 13 crore, has become a meaningful home for Sania, her son Izhaan, and sister Anam. 'Literally, every little thing that is here—from the colours, like, every detail, even every frame that has been put here—is where I wanted it to be,' Sania explained in an home tour video, describing the villa as her safe space, where design meets emotion and solitude follows her public life. A white Greek-style villa framed by grandeur From the outside, the villa commands attention with its pristine white façade and elegant circular columns. The manicured garden and large backyard offer green serenity, while a sprawling pool adds to the property's calm. Beside the pool, Izhaan enjoys a slide and swing setup. The mansion is as much a visual landmark as it is a personal hideaway. A nameplate that once carried Shoaib Malik's name has been quietly updated, reflecting a private but firm new chapter in Sania's life. Interior elegance with a purpose Inside, the villa opens into a bright, teal-accented living space that blends sophistication with comfort. Plush grey and red sofas, an accent wall, and open-plan dining and kitchen areas create a seamless family hub—now also home to a foosball table for Izhaan. The formal dining area, accented with gold, balances grandeur with restraint. 'Because I feel like gold is something that can look very bad if you use it badly,' Sania stated, per Indian Express. 'But this very room, I've used some gold accents just to give it a little bit of a grand sort of look.' Her master bedroom pairs deep green tones with calming whites, complemented by sheer curtains, curated rugs, and a dedicated walk-in closet for her extensive shoe collection. Izhaan's adjoining room bursts with colour and playful charm, complete with a bunk bed and kid-sized furnishings. Spaces of solitude and style Sania's favourite feature is the prayer room, designed in pale tones with an ice-blue carpet and filtered light. 'This is where I go when I feel unsettled,' she shared. Her dressing room stands out as the most personal corner of the house, purpose-built to cater to her fashion needs. And for quieter moments, the entertainment room, which is equipped with a Playstation—offers downtime with Izhaan. This villa is not just a home. It's a declaration of independence, rooted in love, faith, and a life thoughtfully designed.

‘Every little thing that is here…is where I wanted it to be': Inside Sania Mirza's villa in Dubai's Palm Jumeirah
Tennis icon Sania Mirza may have retired from the professional court, but at home, she has built a life full of calm and warmth. Her Dubai residence in Palm Jumeirah, shared with her younger sister Anam Mirza and son Izhaan, reflects the emotional architecture of a family bound by love. 'A home is a feeling. It's where you feel the most at peace,' Sania says in a home tour video for Asian Paints. 'When I come home, I forget about every win or every loss that I've had. Because home is like my safe place. It makes me feel almost cut away from the world.' 'This is the space where we spend probably the most time in this house,' she shares. 'It is the most spacious sort of living, drawing slash dining, slash kitchen, which has now been converted into a foosball table area for my four-and-a-half-year-old son.' But it's not just a playful vibe that dominates the house, it's also built to be a sanctuary. 'My life has been so much in the public. I feel like it's my safe space,' Sania reflects. 'It always gave me a little bit of sanity in the madness that was around me.' The calmest part of her home is perhaps the prayer room, she says, a haven of pale hues. 'I come from a belief of extreme spirituality. This room is where I go when I feel unsettled, when I feel unstable,' she explains. 'It's just really, really fresh. Just makes this room almost feel like there's a halo around it.' Motherhood has also profoundly shaped Sania's view of home. 'After becoming a mother, my perspective on tennis changed. To just be able to put my feet up and just switch off from the world is a luxury,' she says. From Izhaan's blue-and-grey themed room that sits right beside hers, to her own bottle green-accented master bedroom, Sania has designed every space with intention. 'Literally, every little thing that is here—from the colours, like, every detail, even every frame that has been put here—is where I wanted it to be.' One of the showstoppers is her dressing room, which Sania confesses is her most personal sanctuary. 'This is the room that I feel the most myself in,' she smiles. 'So you can see everything is organized. Obviously designed keeping in mind, with how many shoes I unnecessarily have.' Even the formal dining area is laced with meaning. 'I always wanted to make one room very formal. Because I feel like gold is something that can look very bad if you use it badly. But this very room, I've used some gold accents just to give it a little bit of a grand sort of look.' Her favourite design feature is the wall of black and white stripes that adds visual drama and cosiness in equal measure. 'It's actually one of my most favourite walls in the room,' she noted. But for all the design flourishes, what gives this home its soul is Sania's sentiment. 'They say, 'Every house says something.' I think my house says that the home was built with a lot of love. There are a lot of memories that we share with a lot of love.'

Sania Mirza Shares Her Honest Opinion On Parenting And Motherhood
Sania Mirza recently opened up about her experience of motherhood and parenting. In a candid conversation with Masoom Minawala, Sania discussed the challenges of motherhood. Recently, in a chat with Masoom Minawala on her podcast, Sania opened up about the overwhelming guilt she experienced when she had to leave her newborn son, Izhaan, for the first time due to work. Just six weeks after giving birth, she flew to Delhi for an event— an experience she described as incredibly difficult. Reflecting on it, Sania acknowledged how mothers often burden themselves with guilt, even when moments are common and children adapt well. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Masoom Minawala Show (@themasoomminawalashow) Talking further, Sania also shared her experience about breastfeeding Izhaan, where she shared how one time she had to pump milk on the flight—something she found challenging and emotionally taxing. Throughout the day, she remained anxious about leaving her baby behind. However, once she returned home and saw that both she and Izhaan were perfectly fine, it brought her a sense of relief. Looking back, she felt grateful for taking that step, as it helped her regain confidence in balancing motherhood with her professional life. Sania believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting; as long as the child is healthy and happy, that's what truly matters. She said that instead of burdening women with rigid societal and cultural expectations, parenting should be a shared responsibility between both parents.
