Who is ZAYA?

ZAYA is a boutique developer and investment group associated with high-end real estate, hospitality, retreats and lifestyle-led projects across the UAE. The brand is led by Nadia Zaal, founder and CEO of Zaya Group, and is known for creating nature-focused spaces shaped around well-being, tranquillity, privacy and long-term lifestyle value. ZAYA is closely connected to landmark developments such as Al Barari and Nurai Island. Al Barari was established in 2005 as one of the region’s first integrated luxury and eco-conscious developments, spanning 15 million sq. ft. and known for its low-density master plan, greenery, themed gardens and nature-led living. In Dubai, ZAYA is currently associated with Lunaya by ZAYA, a luxury villa community from the creators of Al Barari. The project is positioned around waterfront villas, swimmable lagoons, landscaped green spaces and modern family living, with 4 and 5-bedroom residences, a 40/60 payment plan and starting prices from AED 4.9M. The developer is known for low-density communities, wellness-focused planning, greenery, water elements, privacy and architectural designs that feel calm, natural and refined. Its projects often appeal to buyers looking for villa living, outdoor spaces, community wellness, long-term value and a more peaceful alternative to dense urban living. For investors, ZAYA offers exposure to Dubai’s premium villa and townhouse market through a nature-led development approach backed by the reputation of the Al Barari team. Its communities are often considered by buyers seeking scarcity, lifestyle appeal, family demand, green surroundings and long-term appreciation potential in Dubai’s luxury residential market.
