Zoom in on Sobha’s The Woods Serenity banner and you get one beige block, stacked glass, a wood-clad bay, a pool terrace and a park pond. Sobha calls this the second residential release inside The Woods — compact one- and two-bedroom flats at Sobha Sanctuary, not the villa rows around the park. The Serenity URL opens from AED 1.04 million*. Type A one-beds on that page total 546.70 sqft. [1] [2]

These notes are for a buyer comparing Serenity to the rest of Sanctuary, not a Sobha listing. You pay for the home before keys arrive. Portals still reprint AED 999,000 and a 20 / 40 / 40 cash split that this Serenity URL does not show. [3] [4] How we work: Method.

Who it’s for

Buyers who visited this second Woods tower and can live with a compact one- or two-bed at Sobha’s AED 1.04 million* Serenity open, plus a 2029 keys window. [1]

Who it’s not for

Shoppers after Retreat’s AED 999,000 open, Abode’s AED 1.00 million band, leftover PF Altura or Elysian cards, or a Sanctuary villa such as Brooks. Anyone who needs keys before 2029. [2] [3]

Snapshot

  • Heading on Sobha — The Woods Serenity, second residential release in The Woods. Property Finder, Projects Scout and Propsearch keep the same name (high) [1] [3] [5]
  • Who contracts — Sobha Realty. Read the company line on the reservation you are handed (high) [1]
  • Pin — Dubailand / Al Yufrah, inside the Woods apartment cluster. Hubs: Woods enclave, Sanctuary area (high) [1] [2]
  • Render — beige mid-rise, glass balconies, wood bay, pool terrace, park pond. CGI (med) [1]
  • Mix — official one-bed and two-bed apartments. Propsearch files Serenity as 15 storeys in a six-building Woods set (high on mix / med on 15 storeys) [1] [5]
  • Marketing band — Serenity URL and parent card AED 1.04 million to AED 2.18 million. Leftover Property Finder still chips 999K and two-beds from AED 1.6 million. Leftover Scout AED 999,000–1,600,000 (med) [1] [2] [3] [4]
  • Plans Sobha published — 1-bed Type A 546.70 sqft; 2-bed Type B 863.59; Type C 888.56; Type A 963.80 (high) [1]
  • Parent size chip — 539.9 to 1130.2 sqft. 1130.2 is not on those four drawings (med — listing strip vs plans) [2] [1]
  • Portal leftover sizes — Property Finder 1-bed 546–963 sqft and 2-bed 863–888 sqft. The leftover 963 row says 1-bed Type A; Sobha’s 963.80 is 2-bed Type A (med) [3]
  • Keys wording — parent Serenity card 2029. Leftover PF then Q4 / December / 1 December 2029. Leftover Scout December 2029. Propsearch’s Woods parent estimate December 2029 (med — year is official, day is leftover) [2] [3] [6]
  • Cash split — unpublished on the Serenity URL. Leftover PF and leftover Scout 20 / 40 / 40 (low) [1] [3] [4]
  • Title chip on leftover PF — Freehold. The Serenity page never uses that word (med) [3]
  • Registry tape — Propsearch Woods list, 25–26 Aug 2026, building The Woods Serenity: 1-bed 540 sqft AED 1,042,046; 543 sqft AED 1,047,855; 546 sqft AED 1,054,706. Pre-registration sales, not a live price list (med) [6]
  • Nearby names — Retreat still lists from AED 999K to AED 2.09 million on the parent. Abode has its own Sobha card from AED 1.00 million. Propsearch also names Building 4, 5 and 6. Leftover PF “similar” chips still say Altura and Elysian. Villa streets (Brooks, Greens, Grove, Willows) are different sales (high)* [2] [5] [3]

Second Woods release, not the villa rows

The Serenity banner is a close crop: one beige block on the left, stacked glass, a wood-clad bay, pool terrace under the elevation, park pond on the right. A second still looks into a planted court between two wings with a glazed sky-bridge. A third shows a ground-floor retail colonnade. Marketing CGI of this release, not a finished street. [1]

Sobha sells The Woods Serenity as one- and two-bedroom apartments and labels it the second residential release inside The Woods at Sobha Sanctuary. [1] The Woods enclave page covers every apartment release, not this tower alone. If Serenity is the building you walked, the reservation Sobha issues should already print that name.

Drawings on the Serenity URL: [1]

  • 1-bed Type A — suite 494.92 sqft + balcony 51.77, total 546.70 sqft [1]
  • 2-bed Type B — suite 803.31 sqft + balcony 60.28, total 863.59 sqft [1]
  • 2-bed Type C — suite 795.99 sqft + balcony 92.57, total 888.56 sqft [1]
  • 2-bed Type A — suite 868.22 sqft + balcony 95.58, total 963.80 sqft [1]

AED 1.04 million is Serenity’s own open, with an availability asterisk, and the same URL plus the parent card print to AED 2.18 million. [1] [2] Leftover Property Finder still chips launch 999K and two-beds from AED 1.6 million. Leftover Scout sits at AED 999,000–1,600,000. [3] [4] Only a dated unit quote settles the number.

Sobha’s Serenity amenity strip: pool deck, yoga and meditation, serenity garden, outdoor fitness, co-working, kids play, nursery, library. [1] Leftover Property Finder adds an indoor pool and a gym — portal copy, not Sobha’s pool-deck icon. Wait for the exhibits before treating those as this tower’s list. Skip the official gallery still with a FOODPARK kiosk, a delivery drone and a robot in front of curved towers: that is not this beige facade.

Handover window and the cash split

The Serenity product URL itself has no keys line on this recapture. The parent Woods card for Serenity prints Handover - 2029 — year only. [2] [1] Portals then stamp a leftover calendar: leftover Property Finder stamps Q4 2029, December 2029 and a 1 December 2029 expected-completion day, plus a construction-start of 11 August 2026. [3] Leftover Scout only has August 2026 / December 2029. [4] Propsearch’s Woods parent also estimates December 2029. [6] The sale-contract (SPA) completion clause, including any extension language, is what binds.

No instalment table sits on Sobha’s Serenity URL. [1] Leftover Property Finder and leftover Scout advertise 20% down, 40% during construction, 40% at handover. Add those three steps and you reach 100%. [3] [4] A leftover parent Woods card has also shown 60 / 40 — do not paste that split onto Serenity unless this Serenity form prints it.

How many units remain is not locked here. Propsearch treats Serenity as one of six Woods buildings. [5] Ask whether a quoted home is leftover primary stock or an assignment.

Seller and Sanctuary pin

Seller: Sobha, website sobharealty.com. Product page: the-woods-serenity. Check the contracting company already printed on the reservation.

Location: Sobha Sanctuary, Dubailand / Al Yufrah. Serenity is one Woods apartment building — see the enclave page. [1] [2] Sobha’s proximity block claims Rugby Sevens in 5 minutes, Dubai Outlet Mall in 8, Downtown in 30, Al Maktoum Airport in 30 and Dubai International in 35. Marketing minutes. [1] Time the drive yourself.

Visit first, then keep Serenity, Retreat and Abode on different reservations. Villa streets around the park — Brooks, Greens, Grove, Willows — are different Sobha sales. Retreat and Abode already have their own pages on this site; so do Brooks, Willows and Greens.

Conflicts to pin down

  1. Open — Sobha Serenity AED 1.04 million* versus leftover launch 999K. Ask for a dated offer that names the Serenity unit. [1] [3]
  2. Upper — Sobha Serenity URL and parent card AED 2.18 million* versus leftover two-beds from AED 1.6 million / Scout to AED 1,600,000. [1] [2] [3]
  3. Size floor — parent chip from 539.9 sqft versus 1-bed Type A 546.70 sqft on the same developer site. Use the drawing in your pack. [2] [1]
  4. Size ceiling — parent chip to 1130.2 sqft is not on Sobha’s four Serenity plans (max Type A 963.80 sqft). [2] [1]
  5. Leftover Property Finder labels official 2-bed Type A 963.80 sqft as a 1-bed. Open the plan you are given. [1] [3]
  6. Keys day — Sobha 2029 versus leftover 1 December 2029. Read the SPA handover clause, including extensions. [2] [3]
  7. Cash split — unpublished on Sobha, 20/40/40 on leftover portals. Add the dates printed on your schedule. [1] [3]
  8. Wrong Woods name — Retreat, Abode, leftover PF Altura/Elysian, or a Sanctuary villa brochure instead of Serenity. [2] [5]
  9. Amenity icons and leftover indoor-pool / gym lists stay brochure until the Serenity exhibits list them. [1] [3]

Before a booking cheque

  1. Use Dubai Land Department public tools to confirm this Serenity tower is registered and has escrow before a reservation cheque leaves. [7]
  2. If Serenity is the building you picked, read the reservation and sale contract Sobha hands you. Name, unit ID and seller should already say Serenity. You do not write that contract. [1]
  3. Copy unit ID, bedroom count, saleable area and parking from the pack you hold onto Type A / B / C on Sobha’s Serenity plans. Ignore leftover 546–963 portal rows. [1]
  4. Add the instalments printed on that schedule. Leftover 20/40/40 reaches 100%. If the steps on your paper do not, stop. [3]
  5. Set the SPA completion line next to Sobha’s 2029 card and leftover December 2029. Keep a day only if that paper uses it. [2] [3]
  6. If someone quotes 999K, ask in writing which unit that is. Leftover PF’s Freehold chip is a listing field. The ownership sentence on the paper Sobha issues is what you buy. [1] [3]
  7. None of these sources lock a yearly service-charge AED per sqft for Serenity. Ask Sobha for the written estimate for this building.
  8. Keep Serenity files apart from Retreat, Abode and Sanctuary villas. More on the sequence: Dubai off-plan due diligence.

Bottom line

Bottom line: Serenity is the second named Woods apartment building — beige mid-rise, one- and two-beds, Sobha from AED 1.04 million and keys 2029, parent card to AED 2.18 million. Portals still reprint 999K and 20/40/40, and leftover size tables fold a two-bed plan into the one-bed column. Independent notes, not Sobha disclosure. [1] [2] [3] Check DLD registration and escrow for this tower before you book.

FAQ

Who sells The Woods Serenity?

Sobha Realty. The official product page lives under Sobha Sanctuary / The Woods and names Serenity as the second residential release. Check the legal seller on the reservation and sale contract. [1]

Is Serenity just another name for The Woods?

No. Serenity is one named release inside the Woods apartment cluster — Sobha’s second residential release there. The parent Woods page covers the whole enclave. Retreat and Abode have their own Sobha URLs. Walk the building you want, then read whether Sobha’s form already prints Serenity. [1] [2]

What “from” figure does Sobha show for Serenity?

AED 1.04 million on the Serenity URL, subject to availability, with an upper band of AED 2.18 million on that URL and the parent Woods card. Leftover Property Finder and Projects Scout still show AED 999,000. Request a dated unit quote. [1] [2] [3]

What sizes are on Sobha’s Serenity plans?

1-bed Type A 546.70 sqft. 2-bed Type B 863.59 sqft, Type C 888.56 sqft and Type A 963.80 sqft. The parent card’s 1130.2 sqft ceiling is not on those four drawings. Leftover Property Finder also labels 963 as a 1-bed. [1] [2] [3]

When do the ads say keys arrive?

Sobha’s parent Serenity card prints 2029. Leftover Property Finder and Projects Scout print December / Q4 / 1 December 2029. Read the SPA handover clause, including extensions. [2] [3] [4]

What payment split is advertised?

Sobha’s Serenity URL has none. Leftover Property Finder and Projects Scout show 20 / 40 / 40 (booking / during construction / keys). Add the dates printed on the schedule you hold. [1] [3] [4]
