DAMAC Islands

DAMAC Islands is the first phase of the inland, lagoon-themed community of the same name that DAMAC is building in Dubailand, and it is listed on this site under the DAMAC Islands area. DAMAC gives the master plan 30 million sq ft and 5,915 villas and townhouses, sold in clusters named after island destinations such as the Maldives, Seychelles, Bora Bora and Fiji. The landscape is designed around swimmable lagoons, a jungle river, waterfalls, an aqua park and a central fountain. DAMAC records the launch as December 2024, and Property Finder records construction starting in September 2024.

On 13 November 2026 DAMAC's website listed ten five-bedroom homes, all of one 3,178 sq ft layout, priced from AED 3,930,000 to AED 4,147,000. These are the units on offer in November 2026, not the full range. DAMAC's card calls them villas, but its FAQ describes the four- and five-bedroom homes here as townhouses and the unit code matches, so we list them as townhouses. The FAQ also mentions four-bedroom townhouses and six- and seven-bedroom villas, none of which was offered online that day. Property Finder quotes four-bedroom townhouses from AED 2.5 million and villas from AED 15 million, figures we treat as launch prices rather than current stock. The project page's starting price of AED 2,750,000 is likewise a launch figure.

DAMAC's plan PP-644493 (September 2026) for these homes asks for 24% immediately, 55% in 32 instalments from month 3 to month 34 after purchase and 25% on completion. The schedule totals 104% because the immediate payment includes the 4% DLD registration fee, so the developer's own split is 20% on booking, 55% during construction and 25% on completion. Property Finder shows a 20/40/40 plan instead.

The sources disagree on timing. DAMAC's unit card gives handover in the fourth quarter of 2029, while Property Finder gives December 2028 for the phase. We use DAMAC's later date, and the sale and purchase agreement is the document to check.

Who it suits: families who want a large townhouse in a community planned around water and outdoor play, and who are comfortable waiting about three years. What to weigh: a substantial payment at booking, conflicting completion dates, and an inland location some distance from the coast. DAMAC's FAQ puts The Village Community Mall about 10 minutes away by car, with The Ranches Souk also close by.
