The global market for ‘wellness real estate’ is no longer a niche idea; it’s a $275 billion industry. While this trend is growing everywhere, forward-thinking cities are leading the charge, and Dubai is once again making a clear statement at the front of the pack.
In a city famous for pushing boundaries, a new project is changing the definition of luxury living. Devmark and Iquna Properties have just launched Avida Residences, a high-end waterfront community on the Dubai Islands. This isn't just another tower with a nice gym. It's a community built around one idea: helping you live a longer, healthier life.
A New Kind of Waterfront Living
Avida is already known for its advanced Longevity Center in Jumeirah. Now, they are building that same health-first, biohacking approach directly into the homes of a new community.
The project features a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, along with two large penthouses. The design, handled by Sneha Divias Atelier, focuses on connecting residents with nature. Think generous layouts, natural materials, and huge amounts of daylight to create a home that feels both calm and restorative.
Your Home as a Health Partner
So, what does living in a home designed for longevity actually mean? This is where Avida moves beyond the standard luxury playbook.
Other buildings brag about their pools. This community gives residents daily access to treatments you’d normally find in an elite wellness clinic. It’s about integrating powerful health protocols into your everyday life. The amenities include:
- Red Light Therapy: To boost cellular energy.
- Cold Plunges: To reduce inflammation.
- Infrared Saunas: For detoxification and relaxation.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers: A cutting-edge therapy for regeneration.
Your building is no longer a passive space. It's actively working to keep you healthy, with on-site experts offering personalized consultations, longevity assessments, and even dietary advice. Experts are taking notice. A researcher at the London School of Architecture’s Future Living Lab says this is the next logical step for cities, noting that designing homes with features like hyperbaric chambers turns a residence into a health ecosystem.
The Investor’s Angle: Does Wellness Add Value?
For investors watching Dubai's market, the big question is simple: will this focus on ‘longevity’ translate to real, long-term property value? In a city full of incredible properties, standing out is what commands a premium.
The answer is in the project's unique appeal. Avida Residences isn't just selling square footage; it’s offering a lifestyle for a growing group of wealthy individuals who see health as the ultimate luxury. By building in a complete wellness system, the development becomes far more resilient to market shifts than a standard luxury tower.
As demand for homes that improve wellbeing continues to rise, properties like this are not just places to live. They are strategic investments in a longer and healthier future.
