Al Habtoor Polo Club

What Al Habtoor Polo Club does

Al Habtoor Polo Club is a private polo and equestrian community located in Dubailand, Dubai, operating on more than six million square feet of land. The facility comprises four world-class polo fields, two international-sized arenas, a dedicated Riding School arena, 520 modern stables, and 122 branded luxury villas for lease, all anchored by the Habtoor Polo Resort hotel which features Andalusian-style architecture. The club operates a vertically integrated model that combines sport, hospitality, and residential living under one property.

The club generates revenue through six primary streams: recurring club memberships, riding school and lesson services (individual and corporate), residential villa leasing, event venue rental, horse boarding in 520 stables, and tournament hosting fees. Distribution is conducted via direct sales at the Dubailand location, online booking and inquiry forms on the company website, and WhatsApp and phone inquiries. The Polo Academy and Riding School offer instruction for all skill levels, while the club's own competitive team, Habtoor Polo, participates in regional tournaments including the Dubai Polo Gold Cup. An annual AHPC Excellence Awards program reinforces community engagement.

The customer base spans four primary segments: polo enthusiasts and players, equestrian learners and riders, corporate groups seeking event and team-building experiences, and high-net-worth residents leasing branded villas. The club leverages a sponsor ecosystem of more than ten brand partners including IFZA, Bentley Motors Dubai, Hildon, Diamondlease, Pololine, Dubai Sports Council, and Accenture Investment. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the club operates as a domestic UAE business with no disclosed international footprint.
