Palma Development and Ohana Development Celebrate Triple Wins at Arabian Property Awards 2025
Dubai & Abu Dhabi, UAE – The Arabian Property Awards 2025 have once again placed the spotlight on the UAE’s booming real estate sector, with Palma Development and Ohana Development emerging as standout winners. Both developers achieved triple victories across multiple categories, reinforcing the Emirates’ position as a global hub for architectural excellence, lifestyle innovation, and luxury waterfront living.
Palma Development: Defining Premium Waterfront Communities in Dubai
Founded in 2002, Palma Development has built a legacy of delivering premium waterfront communities that combine architectural brilliance with lifestyle-driven design. The developer’s reputation was solidified at this year’s Arabian Property Awards, where it won in all three categories it entered.
Serenia Living, the AED 3 billion development on Palm Jumeirah, won “Apartment/Condominium Development Dubai.”
West Residence, part of the Serenia District community in Jumeirah Islands, received “Residential High-Rise Development Dubai.”
The West Presidential Penthouse in Serenia Residences The Palm earned “Residential Interior Apartment Dubai.”
These accolades build upon Palma’s award-winning history, which includes recognition at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2025 for La Mer Private Home, named “Best Luxury Single Family Home.”
Executive Director Rana Hariz stated, “These wins at the Arabian Property Awards reflect our vision to create developments that elevate lifestyles and set new standards for Dubai’s property market. From architecture and interiors to amenities and infrastructure, every element is carefully considered to enhance the daily lives of our residents. It is a privilege to see this commitment celebrated on a global stage. Adding these distinctions to the luxury awards we received earlier this year strengthens Palma’s role in shaping environments that blend sophistication with longevity.”
Palma’s portfolio features landmark projects such as the Cayan Infinity Tower, Silverene Towers, and Serenia Residences The Palm. Its multi-billion-dirham developments, designed in collaboration with leading global firms like GAJ (Godwin Austen Johnson) and Nikken Sekkei, highlight its continued focus on sustainable, premium waterfront living.
Ohana Development: Luxury Residences Redefining Abu Dhabi Living
Meanwhile, in Abu Dhabi, Ohana Development also secured a triple win, further cementing its role as a leader in the region’s luxury property sector. Known for blending attainable luxury with thoughtful community design, Ohana was recognised across three prestigious categories:
Jacob & Co. Beachfront Living by Ohana, located in Al Jurf, won “Mixed Use Development Abu Dhabi” and “Residential Property Abu Dhabi.”
ELIE SAAB Waterfront by Ohana on Reem Island took home “Residential High-Rise Development Abu Dhabi.”
Both projects received the coveted five-star rating, the highest honour awarded, underscoring Ohana’s dedication to delivering refined living experiences.

Every detail, from architecture to amenities, is crafted to deliver experiences that truly enrich the lives of our residents and investors. We are honoured to see our vision resonate with clients and global industry leaders alike.”

Arabian Property Awards: A Global Benchmark of Excellence
The Arabian Property Awards are judged by an independent panel of more than 80 global experts and are recognised as one of the most prestigious honours in international real estate. For both Palma and Ohana, these achievements signal not just local success but also international recognition of their leadership in luxury real estate development.
UAE’s Real Estate Future: Innovation Meets Lifestyle
