The Woods Retreat — off-plan in Sobha Sanctuary

• Product name — The Woods Retreat. Property Finder, Projects Scout and Propsearch keep that title (high) ^{[1] [3] [5]}
• Contracting seller — Sobha Realty. Read the company line on the reservation you are given (high) ^[1]
• Pin — Sanctuary’s Woods apartment cluster in Dubailand / Al Yufrah. Hub pages: The Woods and Sobha Sanctuary (high) ^{[1] [2]}
• Look of the still — beige mid-rise, wood balcony bays, pond, yoga deck. Marketing CGI (high) ^[1]
• Mix — official 1-bed and 2-bed apartments. Propsearch lists Retreat as 15 storeys among six Woods buildings (high on mix / med on 15 storeys) ^{[1] [5]}
• Open — Retreat URL AED 999,000. Parent Woods card for Retreat AED 999,000 to AED 2.09 million. Leftover Property Finder launch 999K; leftover PF two-beds from AED 1.6 million. Leftover Scout band AED 999,000–1,600,000 (med — they disagree on the upper)* ^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}
• Published plans — 1-bed Type A 546.05 sqft; 2-bed Type B 864.13 sqft; 2-bed Type A 964.55 sqft (high) ^[1]
• Parent size strip — 539.9 to 1130.2 sqft. 539.9 sits a few sqft under Type A. 1130.2 is not on the published Retreat plans (high) ^{[2] [1]}
• Portal leftover sizes — Property Finder 1-bed 546 sqft and 2-bed 864–964 sqft. Both leftover 2-bed rows say Type A; Sobha splits Type A / Type B (med) ^[3]
• Keys language — parent Retreat card 2029. Leftover PF writes Q4 2029, December 2029 and 1 December 2029. Leftover Scout says December 2029. Propsearch’s Woods parent estimate is also December 2029 (med — year is official, day is leftover) ^{[2] [3] [6]}
• Instalments — none on Sobha’s Retreat URL. Leftover PF and leftover Scout 20 / 40 / 40 (low) ^{[1] [3] [4]}
• Title field on leftover PF — Freehold. Sobha’s Retreat page does not print that word (med) ^[3]
• Sold line on tape — Propsearch parent Woods list, 26 Aug 2026, building name The Woods Retreat, 1-bed, 543 sqft, AED 1,017,994. A completed sale, not today’s ask (med) ^[6]
• Nearby names — Abode and Serenity are separate Sobha product URLs. Propsearch’s six-building Woods set also includes Building 4, Building 5 and Building 6. Leftover PF “similar” chips still name Altura and Elysian. Sanctuary villas (Brooks, Greens, Grove, Willows) are different sales (high) ^{[2] [5] [3]}

Start with the still Sobha put on the Retreat URL. Banner: beige blocks beside a pond, wood-clad bays, stacked glass balconies and a yoga deck at the water. Closer frame: one elevation with a glazed ground floor and a park lawn. Courtyard frame: two wings around a planted court and a glazed sky-bridge. CGI of this named release — not a finished street. ^[1]

Sobha markets The Woods Retreat as 1- and 2-bedroom apartments in The Woods at Sobha Sanctuary. ^[1] The parent The Woods page is the enclave, not this building. If Retreat is the one you walked, keep that name on the reservation Sobha issues — not a generic Woods pack.

Floor plans on that URL: ^[1]

• 1-bed Type A — 546.05 sqft total ^[1]
• 2-bed Type B — 864.13 sqft total ^[1]
• 2-bed Type A — 964.55 sqft total ^[1]

The parent Woods card for Retreat now shows 539.9 to 1130.2 sqft. The 539.9 floor is a few sqft under Type A. The 1130.2 ceiling is not on the published Retreat plans — the same upper sits on the Serenity parent card — so open the drawing you are buying. ^{[2] [1]}

AED 999,000 is Retreat’s own open, with an availability asterisk. ^[1] The product URL and the Woods parent card now also print to AED 2.09 million. ^{[1] [2]} Leftover Property Finder still shows launch 999K and two-bedroom stock from AED 1.6 million. Leftover Scout’s band is AED 999,000–1,600,000. ^{[3] [4]} Only a dated unit quote counts.

Sobha’s Retreat amenity strip lists a pool deck, outdoor fitness, yoga/meditation, co-working, a serenity garden, a nursery, a library and a kids play area. ^[1] Leftover Property Finder also lists an indoor pool and a gym — portal copy, not the same as Sobha’s pool-deck icon. Treat amenities as brochure until the exhibits name them for this building.

The parent Woods card for Retreat prints Handover - 2029. Year only. ^[2] Leftover Property Finder then lists delivery as Q4 2029, December 2029, and expected completion 1 December 2029, with works starting 11 August 2026. ^[3] Leftover Projects Scout repeats an August 2026 start and December 2029 keys. ^[4] Propsearch’s Woods parent estimate is December 2029. ^[6] Whatever date the sale contract (SPA) prints — including any extension language — is the date that binds.

Sobha’s Retreat URL has no instalment table. ^[1] Leftover Property Finder and leftover Scout advertise a 20 / 40 / 40 outline (booking / during construction / at handover). Add those three steps and you get 100%. ^{[3] [4]} The leftover parent Woods card has also shown 60 / 40 — do not copy that onto Retreat unless this Retreat form prints it.

Remaining unit count is not locked here. Propsearch treats Retreat as one of six Woods buildings. ^[5]

Seller: Sobha, website sobharealty.com. Official product page: the-woods-retreat. Read the company line on the reservation.

Place: Sobha Sanctuary in Dubailand / Al Yufrah. Retreat is one building in the Woods apartment cluster — parent page The Woods. ^{[1] [2]} Sobha’s proximity block claims Dubai Rugby Sevens in 5 minutes, Dubai Outlet Mall in 8, Downtown Dubai in 30, Al Maktoum Airport in 30 and Dubai International Airport in 35. Those are marketing minutes. ^[1] Time the drive yourself.

Keep Retreat, Abode and Serenity on different reservations. Visit first, then check that Sobha’s form already names the building you picked. Villa streets beside the cluster — Brooks, Greens, Grove, Willows — are different Sobha sales. Own pages: The Brooks, The Willows, The Greens.

1. Upper ask — Sobha Retreat URL and parent card AED 2.09 million* versus leftover PF/Scout two-beds from AED 1.6 million / range to AED 1,600,000. Ask for a dated offer that names the Retreat unit. ^{[1] [2] [3]}
2. Size floor — parent card from 539.9 sqft versus 1-bed Type A 546.05 sqft on the same developer site. Use the drawing in your pack. ^{[2] [1]}
3. Size ceiling — parent card to 1130.2 sqft is not on Sobha’s Retreat floor-plan block (max Type A 964.55 sqft). That 1130.2 strip also sits on the Serenity parent card. ^{[2] [1]}
4. Leftover two-bed rows both labelled Type A on Property Finder, while Sobha splits Type A 964.55 sqft and Type B 864.13 sqft. ^{[1] [3]}
5. Keys day — Sobha 2029 versus leftover 1 December 2029. Trust the SPA completion line, including extensions, not the portal calendar. ^{[2] [3]}
6. Instalments — silent on Sobha, 20/40/40 on leftover portals. Add every printed date. ^{[1] [3]}
7. Wrong Woods name — Abode, Serenity, leftover PF Altura or Elysian, or a Sanctuary villa pack sold as Retreat. ^{[2] [3]}
8. Amenity icons, plus leftover “indoor pool / gym” lists, stay brochure until the exhibits name them for this building. ^{[1] [3]}

1. Open Dubai Land Department public tools and confirm this Retreat building is registered with escrow before a reservation cheque leaves. ^[7]
2. Choose Retreat first, then read the booking form and sale contract Sobha issues. Project name, unit ID and seller should already say Retreat. You do not draft that contract. ^[1]
3. Copy the unit ID, bedroom type, saleable area and parking from your pack onto Type A / Type B on Sobha’s Retreat plans. Ignore leftover 864–964 rows labelled the same, and ignore the parent 1130.2 strip unless that drawing is in your pack. ^[1]
4. Add every instalment on that paper. Leftover 20/40/40 totals 100%. If the printed steps do not, halt. ^[3]
5. Set the SPA completion date next to Sobha’s 2029 year and leftover December 2029. Keep a calendar day only when that paper prints one. ^{[2] [3]}
6. Leftover PF marks ownership Freehold. That is a portal field. The title wording on the issued contract is the interest you are buying. ^[3]
7. No source here locks a yearly service-charge AED per sqft for Retreat. Ask Sobha for the written estimate for this building.
8. File Retreat apart from Abode, Serenity and Sanctuary villas. Paper trail: off-plan due-diligence.
