Dubai’s villa boom fuels surge in outdoor living — and furniture demand

As villa ownership continues to rise across Dubai, so too does the appetite for luxury outdoor living. With more residents investing in spacious homes featuring gardens, terraces, and courtyards, the demand for high-end outdoor furniture is surging.

According to Dubai Land Department data, villa transactions in the emirate jumped by over 30% year-on-year in 2024, with prime areas like Al Barsha, Jumeirah, and Arabian Ranches seeing record sales. This shift is reshaping consumer preferences, with outdoor spaces increasingly viewed as extensions of the home — places for entertaining, relaxing, and showcasing personal style.
