Al Badia Residences Dubai Festival City - Apartments & Villas for Rent

Unlike many high-rise clusters in Dubai, Al Badia is designed around livability. Wide streets, low building density, and generous apartment layouts create a residential experience that appeals particularly to families and long-term expats.

The community sits inside Dubai Festival City, just minutes from DXB Airport and Downtown Dubai. Residents enjoy a mature urban infrastructure, direct access to Festival City Mall, and a walkable Creek-side environment anchored by retail, dining, schools, and leisure.

2-Bedroom Apartments at Al Badia are known for their size - ranging from 1,931 sq.ft. to 2,334 sq.ft., far exceeding Dubai’s typical two-bedroom footprint. Most include two ensuite bedrooms, three bathrooms, a maid’s room, a spacious open-plan living and dining area, and large balconies overlooking landscaped gardens. These homes offer a comfortable blend of privacy and community living.

3-Bedroom Apartments, averaging 2,333 sq.ft., cater to larger households, work-from-home families, or those simply wanting more breathing room. Well-planned kitchens and multiple balconies make these units highly desirable for long-term tenants.

For those looking for villas, Al Badia features a limited collection of 3- and 4-bedroom semi-detached and detached homes - each exceeding 3,000 sq.ft. and offering private gardens and family-friendly layouts. Availability is limited, and villas are often on waitlist due to strong tenant demand.

The community is organized into clusters of low-rise buildings surrounded by landscaped greenery. Building 11 is among the most sought after clusters - popular for its layouts and orientation. All buildings follow Al-Futtaim’s signature Mediterranean styling with pastel façades, terracotta roofs, and wide balconies.

Unlike newer towers, these units have undergone regular refurbishments, ensuring interiors remain fresh while maintaining their generous proportions.

Step inside an Al Badia apartment and you’ll notice the difference immediately: high ceilings, wide corridors, spacious kitchens, and natural light pouring through large windows. Balconies offer serene views of gardens or the Festival City skyline.

The design language prioritizes openness and warmth - a refreshing alternative to the compact floor plans common in newer high-rise towers.

One of Al Badia’s greatest advantages is its unbeatable connectivity. Residents are:

• 5 minutes from Dubai Festival City Mall
• 7-9 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB)
• 10 minutes from Dubai Healthcare City and City Centre Mirdif
• 15 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai Mall
• 25-30 minutes from Palm Jumeirah and JBR

The community is woven into a larger ecosystem that includes retail, entertainment, waterfront promenades, and international schools. IKEA, ACE Hardware, InterContinental Hotel, and the award-winning IMAGINE show at Festival Bay are all within walking distance.

Life at Al Badia is designed to be comfortable, active, and family-oriented. Residents enjoy access to:

• Adult and children’s swimming pools
• Fully equipped gymnasiums
• Tennis and basketball courts
• Saunas and steam rooms
• Landscaped gardens and shaded walking paths
• Dedicated parking and 24/7 security

Being part of Festival City also means instant access to retail, dining, leisure, and hospitality without ever needing to leave the neighborhood.

Al Badia offers a rare balance between privacy and convenience. Tenants can enjoy the quiet greenery of a residential enclave while being just minutes from Dubai’s bustling core. Families benefit from nearby international schools, safe streets, and community amenities; professionals enjoy the proximity to Downtown and Dubai Airport.

For many long-term residents, the appeal isn’t just the space - it’s the feeling of living in a neighborhood with real character.
