How much does a kitchen renovation cost Dubai
For kitchen remodeling Dubai, most villa kitchens fall between AED 60,000 and AED 180,000 for a complete fit out. A full villa renovation with kitchen and other rooms starts around AED 100,000 at Lacasa Line, including design, approvals and turnkey execution.
A worked example in Dubai Marina shows where the money goes. For a 16 square metre kitchen with semi custom cabinets, quartz tops, mid range appliances and a tiled splashback, a realistic budget is around AED 85,000. That includes AED 38,000 for cabinetry, AED 9,500 for stone, AED 20,000 for appliances, AED 7,500 for tiling and floor adjustment, AED 6,000 for plumbing and electrical, and AED 4,000 for ceiling and lighting.
The main kitchen renovation cost Dubai drivers are:
- Moving the sink or gas line adds AED 4,000 to AED 10,000
- A structural opening for an open plan kitchen adds AED 15,000 to AED 30,000
- Full height custom veneer or lacquer cabinets cost 30 to 50 percent more than standard cabinets

How long does a kitchen renovation take Dubai
A typical villa kitchen renovation takes 4 to 8 weeks. If you are moving walls or adding structural openings, allow 8 to 12 weeks.
- Week 1: site survey and design sign off
- Week 2: approval drawings and DM/DEWA submissions
- Week 3 to 4: demolition and MEP rough-in
- Week 5 to 6: joinery installation and stone templating
- Week 7: stone tops, splashback and appliance connection
- Week 8: snagging and deep clean
Custom joinery lead times can add 10 to 15 days if the design is not locked early.

DM, DEWA and villa approval notes for kitchen work
Any villa kitchen renovation that moves water, drainage, electrical points or gas typically needs DM approval and DEWA coordination before site work begins. Dubai Municipality needs drawings if you are relocating a sink, adding an island with plumbing, or changing a ceiling or load-bearing wall. DEWA is involved when the electrical load increases or the meter and distribution board change.
In gated Dubai villa communities such as Emirates Hills or Arabian Ranches, a community management NOC can add two to five days to the approval stage. The building authority route remains the same. We prepare and submit the drawings as part of the turnkey fit out.
For the paperwork route, see our villa renovation guides.
Villa kitchen fit out Dubai: why villa scope is different
Villa kitchens usually have more ceiling height, larger floor plates, external extract ducts and room for a pantry or back kitchen, so the fit out scope is different from an apartment kitchen. Built in appliances need dedicated circuits, gas cooktops need proper exhaust, and tall units need a joinery workshop that can hold tight tolerances.
A villa in Arabian Ranches often benefits from opening the kitchen to the dining space, while a villa in Emirates Hills may allocate a separate prep kitchen and a larger island. Both jobs need engineered electrical and extract plans, not a simple cabinet swap.

How long does a kitchen renovation take in Dubai?
A standard villa kitchen renovation takes 4 to 8 weeks. If the project includes structural changes, custom joinery or approval delays, allow 8 to 12 weeks. We confirm a practical site schedule before site start.
Do I need DM approval for a kitchen renovation in Dubai?
Yes, you generally need Dubai Municipality approval if you move water, drainage, gas or electrical points or create a structural opening. DEWA coordination is needed for power load changes. We prepare and submit the drawings as part of the turnkey villa kitchen fit out Dubai package.
Can I live in my villa during a kitchen renovation?
It is possible but not comfortable. Dust, water shut-offs and power isolation affect daily life, so many clients set up a temporary pantry or stay elsewhere during the main works. We aim to keep the site sealed and schedule noisy work in blocks.
What is included in a villa kitchen fit out Dubai package?
Our package typically includes design, MEP rough-in, cabinetry, stone worktops, splashback, appliance connection, LED lighting and final snagging. We can also handle the full villa fit-out and renovation services if you want the kitchen and adjoining rooms done together.
