On handoveranticipated 30 September 2028

On reservation: Two payments of 5%, both dated the reservation day. Registration (4%) and the AED 5,250 admin fee fall with them

Forty per cent falls due before handover and 60% on the keys. The run is not even: after the opening 10% and a 5% at seven months, a single 25% instalment falls at fifteen months. That one is the largest payment before completion. The instalments are counted from your booking date, so the calendar shifts with when you reserve.

Payments go into the project escrow account and your purchase registers at booking. Registration is 4% of the price paid once, plus an AED 5,250 admin fee from Aldar. Aldar pays us, so you pay no commission. See what you pay in fees in Dubai and Abu Dhabi compared.

Layouts & Specifications

Two homes are selling, and the difference between them is a floor.

The five-bedroom

Six thousand two hundred and seventy-two square feet across two floors. A living room and a dining room opening to the garden, a kitchen with an island, a family retreat upstairs and a study off the ground floor.

Every Premium five-bedroom shares that footprint. What moves between them is the plot and where it sits in the community, so walk the plots before you choose.

The six-bedroom

Two floors of bedrooms, and a third floor above them carrying the outdoor lounge and the family living room.

The extra space costs AED 1,338 a foot, against more than AED 2,000 for every other foot in either home. The step buys at least 2,496.7 sq ft.

How to read the figuresRates are derived from the confirmed price and built-up area. Aldar publishes a price range and an area range for the six-bedroom without tying one to the other, so the single figure in the table above is the entry price against the smallest published area rather than a pairing Aldar has confirmed. Both floor plans are in the set below.

About This Project

Aerial view of Athlon in Dubailand with the running and cycling loops marked.

Athlon is a community built around movement. Aldar designed it with wellbeing specialists on active design principles, and nothing in it sits more than five minutes from an activity. The homes selling now are the large Premium villas.

Handover, 30 September

The villas come in two tiers. Standard covers three, four and five bedrooms. Premium covers four, five and six. What Aldar is selling now is the Premium five-bedroom and six-bedroom. The sizes are in the table below.

Three loops

A 4.6 km trail-running loop, plus a cycling loop and a family loop. The cycling loop connects out to the wider network beyond the community.

What is on site

Gym and fitness nodes, a pump track, splash pads, family and lap pools, a play park, padel, MUGA and basketball courts, table tennis, rock climbing, a skate park, a yoga platform, a cinema lawn and a meditation deck.

A service menu, à la carte

Fit-out contractors, landscaping and pool build, move-in packages and home automation before you arrive. Then housekeeping, pet care, car repair, tutoring, senior care, nutritionists, classes and a letting desk.

Finishes run in two schemes, light and dark. Porcelain tile to the floors, bathrooms and shower. Reconstituted stone on the accent wall, staircase, thresholds, kitchen countertop, backsplash and bathroom vanity. Laminate on the kitchen and bathroom joinery, the living room slats and the main door, with lacquer on the interior doors and wardrobes.

Inside

The living spaces run double height and open to the garden through full-height glazing, so the light moves across the room through the day and the garden reads as part of it. Timber panelling runs the living walls. The kitchen carries a stone island wide enough to sit at. Bedrooms open to the planting rather than to a neighbour.

The six-bedroom carries a third floor

Above the bedrooms the six-bedroom adds a floor of its own: an outdoor lounge of 8.5 by 6.2 metres, a family living room of 5 by 5 metres, a pantry, a bathroom and a provision for a lift. That floor is where you host, and nothing else in the community sits above it.

From AED 13.58M

That is a Premium five-bedroom at 6,272 sq ft built-up. The plan is 40/60, registration is 4% plus an admin fee, and ownership is freehold to all nationalities. We sell at zero commission.

How the community runs

Smart irrigation, air quality and noise monitoring with sound masking, environmental monitoring for the sports facilities, smart waste bins, digital amenity booking and community access control. Photovoltaics, an optimised HVAC system, EV charging, native landscaping and shaded bikeways.

Athlon

Aldar launched Athlon in May 2024 and it is the UAE's first community certified LEED Platinum for planning and design. It is Fitwel certified, on the E611 and D54 in Dubailand. Most of it is houses like these. The smaller apartment quarter at Rise sits inside the same community.

Why this project

Most of the money waits for the keys
The current release asks 10% on reservation, then the rest across construction and on the keys.
One 25% payment, not an even run
The construction instalments are not equal. A single 25% falls fifteen months after booking — AED 3,395,695 on the entry villa.
The six-bedroom carries a third floor
Above the bedrooms it adds a floor of its own: an outdoor lounge of 8.5 by 6.2 metres, a family living room, a pantry, a bathroom and a provision for a lift. That floor is where you host, and nothing else in the community sits above it.
The sixth bedroom costs AED 1,338 a foot
The step from the dearest five-bedroom to the entry six-bedroom buys at least 2,496.7 sq ft. Every other foot in either home prices above AED 2,000.
Three loops and seven clubhouses
A 4.6 km trail-running loop, plus a cycling loop and a family loop, with seven clubhouses and a Signature Clubhouse at the entrance. Nothing in the community sits more than five minutes from an activity.
A service menu most communities do not run
Fit-out contractors, landscaping and pool build, move-in packages, housekeeping, pet care, tutoring, senior care, nutritionists and a letting desk — all à la carte through the community.

Athlon Villas Location

Athlon sits in Dubailand, on the E611 and the D54.

Dubai International is 25 minutes, the Burj Khalifa 30 and Jumeirah Beach 30. This is not a beachfront or Downtown address and it does not price like one.

What the location buys is the ground around the house. The trail-running, cycling and family loops, the clubhouses, the courts and the parkland all sit inside the community rather than a drive away, and the cycling loop connects out to the wider network.

Every off-plan villa community we sell in Dubai is set side by side in our guide to off-plan villa communities in Dubai.

About ALDAR

The joint venture expanded in June 2026 with AED 38 billion of new developments and around 14,000 homes at Nad Al Sheba and Palm Jebel Ali.

Revenue and net profit both rose in the first half of 2026.

Athlon launched in May 2024 and is the UAE's first community certified LEED Platinum for planning and design. Aldar's Abu Dhabi district is Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island, and its nature-led community in south Dubai is The Wilds.

40/60. Two payments of 5% both fall on the reservation date. Then 5% at seven months and 25% at fifteen months, with 60% on handover. The instalments run from your own booking date, so the calendar shifts with when you reserve.

How much do I pay on day one?

Ten per cent plus the 4% registration and the AED 5,250 admin fee. On the entry villa that is AED 1,906,839.

What is the biggest single payment before handover?

Is Athlon freehold?

Yes, for all nationalities. A purchase above AED 2 million also qualifies you for the 10-year Golden Visa.
