Secret Gardens
Luxury landscape and pool design for the UAE’s finest homes.
An award-winning landscape design-and-build studio creating high-end villa gardens, swimming pools and outdoor living spaces across the UAE’s most exclusive communities.
Founded in Dubai in 2017, Secret Gardens is a boutique landscape design and build company that has set out to raise the standard of luxury outdoor living in the UAE — pairing an in-house design team with its own construction and maintenance operations, so gardens, pools and outdoor living are delivered as a single seamless engagement.
The firm works across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, with a portfolio concentrated in communities such as Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Golf Estates, Dubai Hills and Al Barari. Its workforce includes Dubai Municipality-approved engineers, and the company manages all permits, approvals and inspections in-house.
Recognition includes a LUXlife Home & Garden Award for Best Luxury Outdoor Living Design Studio in the UAE and Arabian Property Awards recognition for its Villa Solea project — a positioning built on design excellence and craftsmanship rather than volume.
