Direct answer

Where can you buy new DAMAC villas in Dubai?

DAMAC Properties sells villas in Dubai across four communities we can substantiate: DAMAC Islands, DAMAC Islands 2, DAMAC Hills 2 and DAMAC Hills, with a small villa presence in the Venice cluster of DAMAC Lagoons. Its published community starting prices begin at AED 2.75 million, but in almost every case that figure buys a townhouse rather than a villa.

DAMAC has off-plan villa inventory in 3 Dubai communities covered on this site: DAMAC Lagoons, DAMAC Islands 2, and DAMAC Islands.

  • Four villa communities DAMAC Islands, Islands 2, Hills 2 and Hills. Lagoons is townhouse-dominant.
  • Entry prices are townhouses The AED 2.75M and AED 2.99M headline figures are townhouse products, not detached villas.
  • Privately held since 2022 DAMAC delisted from the Dubai Financial Market in February 2022.

DAMAC cluster page

The rule that governs this whole page

DAMAC uses the word villa more loosely than any other major Dubai developer, and its community starting prices almost always belong to a townhouse. At DAMAC Islands the published AED 2.75 million entry price buys a four-bedroom townhouse; the standalone villa formats there begin at six bedrooms. At DAMAC Islands 2 the AED 2.99 million entry is likewise a townhouse, with the DSTH-M1 unit code at 2,186 sq ft.

So the useful question is not what a DAMAC community costs. It is which unit code you are being offered. Throughout this page we name the unit codes where DAMAC or the market publishes them, because that is the only reliable way to tell a villa from a townhouse in this portfolio.

The villa communities, in order of confidence

These four are where DAMAC villa product can actually be substantiated.

  • DAMAC Islands, Dubailand. Six clusters, 30 million sq ft, 5,915 villas and townhouses. Genuine villa formats: DIV3 at six bedrooms and 4,440 sq ft, LV55E at six bedrooms and about 10,671 sq ft, and LV75E at seven bedrooms and up to 17,078 sq ft.
  • DAMAC Islands 2, adjacent, 20 million sq ft across eight clusters: Bahamas, Tahiti, Bermuda, Barbados, Cuba, Maui, Mauritius and Antigua. The villa unit is DS-V45, six bedrooms plus maid at 6,276 sq ft; DSTW is a five-bedroom twin villa at 3,492 sq ft. Everything else in the published unit list is a townhouse.
  • DAMAC Hills 2, 55 million sq ft, 14,044 villas and townhouses combined. Park Greens Phase 2 and Park Greens 3 are the clearest currently selling off-plan villa product, reported from about AED 2.79 to 2.88 million with Q1 2027 handovers. Prestige, Privilege and Premier Villas are confirmed to exist as villa-branded projects but DAMAC publishes no price, size or plan for them.
  • DAMAC Hills, the original community. Gems Estates is the current standalone villa release: five to seven bedrooms, 4,059 to 24,550 sq ft, from about AED 5.82 million on a 20% booking, 60% construction, 20% handover structure.

Three communities we will not list as villa communities

DAMAC Lagoons is 49 million sq ft with 8,883 villas and townhouses plus 4,800 apartments, across twelve Mediterranean-themed clusters. Only Venice is corroborated as a genuinely villa-only cluster, at six and seven bedrooms. Santorini is villa product with lower confidence, Portofino's classification is actively disputed between sources, and the remaining clusters are townhouse-dominant. Buy here on the cluster and the unit code, not on the community name.

DAMAC Riverside publishes a community unit count of 1,902 villas. We could not identify a single detached-villa sub-project to support it. The Lush release is consistently described as four and five-bedroom townhouses, and the Riverside Views releases are apartments. Until DAMAC names a villa sub-project there, we treat the community-level villa count as unverified.

DAMAC Sun City has 770 villa and townhouse units across 2.7 million sq ft, and genuine villa stock does trade there on the secondary market at four and five bedrooms. What we could not find is an active, developer-marketed off-plan villa launch with published specifications. DAMAC's own community page gives no villa price, size or handover date.

Payment plans, and one that does not add up

DAMAC is known for long monthly instalment structures, and they are real, but they are not uniform across the portfolio and they are published inconsistently.

The DAMAC Islands structure published on DAMAC's own blog is 20% at booking, then 1% monthly across months three to seven, 5% at month eight, 1% monthly across months nine to forty-one, and 25% at handover, over forty months. Those components total 88%, not 100%. We are reporting DAMAC's own published figures and noting the gap rather than silently correcting it. Ask DAMAC to reconcile it before you sign anything.

Elsewhere the structures are conventional and do total correctly. Gems Estates at DAMAC Hills is marketed at 20% booking, 60% during construction and 20% at handover. DAMAC Islands 2 and the DAMAC Lagoons phase-two launch have been marketed at 50% during construction and 50% at handover, which front-loads far less but leaves a very large single payment at completion.

A widely repeated claim that a single 1%-monthly, 20%-deposit plan applies across Riverside and Sun City townhouses comes from a third-party aggregator, not from DAMAC. Treat it as unverified.

Initial sale against resale

DAMAC clusters absorb quickly, and several of the communities above now trade substantially on resale. In the original DAMAC Hills, Trump Estates and Park Villas appear to be resale-only; at DAMAC Hills 2, Eterno Prestige Villas is described as ready stock trading on the secondary market; at Sun City, every villa listing sampled was resale.

Resale here carries the same three consequences it carries anywhere: a premium over the original developer price, a payment schedule inherited part-way through rather than started fresh, and a different transfer process. The advantage is that a resale unit is a real, identified home rather than a unit code on a price list.

Questions

Questions about DAMAC villas

What are the newest DAMAC villa projects in Dubai?

DAMAC Islands 2, across eight clusters on 20 million sq ft, is the most recent large villa and townhouse launch. Gems Estates at DAMAC Hills is the newest standalone villa release, and Park Greens Phase 2 and 3 at DAMAC Hills 2 are the clearest currently selling off-plan villa product.

Which DAMAC communities have standalone villas?

DAMAC Islands, DAMAC Islands 2, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Hills and the Venice cluster of DAMAC Lagoons. Elsewhere the product is townhouses or apartments.

What is the cheapest DAMAC villa?

Park Greens 3 at DAMAC Hills 2 is reported from about AED 2.79 million. The lower community headline figures, AED 2.75 million at DAMAC Islands and AED 2.99 million at Islands 2, buy townhouses.

What is DAMAC Islands 2?

A separate, later community adjacent to DAMAC Islands, covering 20 million sq ft across eight clusters: Bahamas, Tahiti, Bermuda, Barbados, Cuba, Maui, Mauritius and Antigua.

Is DAMAC Islands 2 the same as DAMAC Islands?

No. Different community, different clusters, later handovers, reported at 2029 to 2030 rather than 2029. Tahiti in particular is an Islands 2 cluster and is frequently misattributed to the original DAMAC Islands.

Does DAMAC offer 1% payment plans on villas?

DAMAC does market monthly instalment structures, confirmed for DAMAC Islands. Note that the breakdown DAMAC publishes for that plan totals 88% rather than 100%, so ask for a reconciled schedule in writing before booking.

Are DAMAC Lagoons homes villas or townhouses?

Mostly townhouses. Only the Venice cluster is corroborated as villa-only, at six and seven bedrooms. Portofino's classification is disputed between sources. Judge by the unit code, not by the cluster name.

Which DAMAC projects have five-bedroom villas?

DAMAC Islands 2 offers a five-bedroom twin villa at 3,492 sq ft under code DSTW, DAMAC Hills 2 offers a five-bedroom twin villa at Park Greens Phase 2, and Gems Estates at DAMAC Hills starts at five bedrooms.

What are DAMAC villa handover dates?

DAMAC Islands is reported at Q2 to Q4 2029, DAMAC Islands 2 at 2029 to 2030, and Park Greens at DAMAC Hills 2 at Q1 2027. DAMAC does not publish a handover date for Gems Estates.

Can foreigners buy DAMAC villas?

DAMAC villas are sold to international buyers with the standard 4% Dubai Land Department fee, and DAMAC markets Golden Visa eligibility on qualifying purchases. Confirm tenure in the sale documents for the specific project.

Is DAMAC Hills 2 still selling off-plan villas?

Yes. Park Greens Phase 2 and Park Greens 3 are reported as active off-plan with Q1 2027 handovers. Prestige, Privilege and Premier Villas are confirmed to exist but DAMAC publishes no current price or schedule for them.

What is the difference between initial sale and resale?

An initial sale is bought from DAMAC at the current release price on a fresh payment schedule. A resale is bought from an existing buyer at a premium, with the remaining instalments inherited part-way through and a different transfer process. Several DAMAC villa communities now trade largely on resale.

Methodology

How we verify project information

Prices, inventory, payment plans and handover dates can change. Confirm current developer or resale availability before making a purchase decision.

  • Project names, developers and locations are taken from the developer's own published material.
  • Prices, payment plans and handover dates are shown only where a developer or government source publishes them; market-sourced figures are marked indicative.
  • Where a figure is not published anywhere we can cite, the page asks you to request it rather than estimating one.
  • Pages are re-checked against source material on the review date shown beside each data set.
