When you think of a mansion of luxurious living in Dubai, Anita Surani Khoja’s sprawling mansion on the Palm Jumeirah is the epitome of extravagance. A blend of ultra-modern tech features and opulent, maximalist décor, this home is a masterpiece. From Barbie-pink G-Wagons to gold-lined ceilings, the mansion is truly one-of-a-kind. Let’s take a closer look at the grandeur that defines this stunning property.
A Bold Entrance
The first thing that catches your eyes in the mansion is the Barbie-pink Mercedes G-Wagon parked in the driveway. A birthday gift for Anita’s teenage daughter from her husband, a tech retail tycoon. Who sits alongside an impressive collection of cars — a Tiffany blue Lamborghini, a sleek Rolls-Royce, and a futuristic Tesla Cybertruck. But the real extravagance lies inside.
A Mansion of Golden Touch
Stepping into the 8,000-square-foot mansion will give you the experience of that you are into a grandeur. The ceilings of this modern palace are adorned with 24-karat gold, adding an undeniable sense of luxury to every room. Anita, interior designer, explains that gold is “synonymous with Dubai,” that’s why she wanted it to feature in her home. “Gold is pure, and I was particular about getting the right shade,” she shares with a smile.
Technology Meets Luxury
Anita’s mansion is a tech haven. There are no light switches in sight; instead, everything is controlled through a smartphone. Whether it’s adjusting the blinds, changing the lighting, or even making the massive TV rise from the floor, the home runs on seamless technology. This integration of modern technology with luxury design is a key aspect of the mansion’s appeal. “I wanted everything to look clean, spacious, and aesthetically appealing,” she says, with hidden appliances and wall cladding that maintain a sleek and minimalist atmosphere.

The Smart Mansion of the Future
The home also boasts a number of futuristic features. The floor-to-ceiling windows are made from a single pane of glass that slides up, creating an open, airy feel in the living space. TVs disappear into the ceilings or floors when not in use, and the pillars inside the house change color to match the mood or the occasion — for instance, green during a Pakistan match and blush pink when in a more relaxed setting. The lighting in the home helps create the desired atmosphere, from vibrant hues to soft, indirect lighting.
Functionality Meets Glamour
Despite the house’s lavish aesthetic, Anita insists that every element is functional and purposeful. Her daughter’s room, for example, features a circular bed with a rose-studded headboard, while her closet is a sanctuary for her retail therapy habits. “My day starts and ends there,” she says. “It’s my retreat.” The mansion isn’t just a showcase of wealth; it’s designed for a family’s everyday comfort and needs.
A Car Collection to Match
Anita’s car collection speaks volumes about her lavish lifestyle. The pink G-Wagon, a gift for her daughter, adds a unique flair to the driveway. Despite her daughter not being old enough to drive yet, Anita enjoys driving it or having a female driver pick her daughter up in it. “I love it because it’s such a safe vehicle,” she says.
A Personalized Touch for Her Husband
While Anita took charge of most of the design, her husband Moiz Khoja did have a say when it came to his personal space. His bathroom, in-house gym, and closet were his only requests, resulting in a masculine, sleek design in black, grey, and white. “That’s all he got,” Anita laughs, adding that he trusted her with the rest of the design decisions.

Mansion Design Tips for Aspiring Homeowners
For anyone looking to create a luxurious home, Anita has some sage advice: “Plan your layout first, fix your budget, and decide your vibe.” She recommends sticking to one clear style, whether it’s traditional, modern, or transitional, to guide all your design choices. While the mansion started with a Dh1 million renovation budget, it ended up costing around Dh15 million — a figure Anita has no regrets about. “Honestly, who’s counting after the tenth million?” she chuckles.
The Price of Perfection
Located in one of Dubai’s most exclusive areas, the mansion is valued at around Dh70 million. The Palm Jumeirah is home to some of the world’s most luxurious residences, including properties owned by Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen. Despite its opulence, Anita and her family have made this their forever home. “We have created our home over the years and wouldn’t swap it for any other home,” she says.
In the heart of Dubai’s luxurious Palm Jumeirah, Anita Surani Khoja’s mansion is a testament to the possibilities of combining technology, luxury, and personal style in a home that’s as functional as it is awe-inspiring.
