It was first sold as AKOYA by DAMAC (Wikipedia records the original name as The Akoya), and some sub-communities still carry that name on the property portals. The newer, larger community further out was first sold as AKOYA Oxygen and is now [DAMAC Hills 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills-2), so it is worth checking which of the two a listing means. The community is built around Trump International Golf Club Dubai, which opened in February 2017. The club has an 18-hole championship course, with floodlit night golf on holes 10 to 18, and a separate floodlit par 3 course designed by Gil Hanse. Property Finder describes nearly four million sq ft of parkland around it, with lakes, a skate park, stables, a football pitch and tennis courts, and in November 2020 DAMAC opened what Wikipedia describes as the UAE's first residential wave pool here. Unlike DAMAC's newer launches, most of DAMAC Hills is finished. In September 2026 DAMAC told Khaleej Times that around 85% of the community had been completed and handed over, with about AED 3 billion of active projects still under way across villas and towers. Ready stock runs from apartment buildings such as Golf Gate and The Legends to townhouse clusters and the large golf-course villas of the Trump Estates and Cavalli Estates. Off-plan phases on Property Finder include Golf Gate 2 (fourth quarter of 2026), Golf Greens (first quarter of 2027), Ivory (second quarter of 2028), DAMAC District (first quarter of 2029) and Lilac (first quarter of 2030). The price range is wide: launch prices on Property Finder run from under AED 1 million for apartments at Golf Gate to more than AED 24 million for the largest estate villas. For buyers weighing DAMAC's newer lagoon communities, [DAMAC Lagoons](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-lagoons) and [DAMAC Islands](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-islands), this is the place to see the finish and upkeep of DAMAC homes that are already lived in. ## Who it suits - Families who want a ready villa or townhouse rather than an off-plan one - Golfers who want to live beside an 18-hole course - Buyers who want to judge DAMAC's completed work before committing to a newer launch - Investors looking at apartments in an established suburban community ## Highlights - Built around Trump International Golf Club Dubai, open since February 2017, with an 18-hole course and a floodlit par 3 - About 85% completed and handed over, according to DAMAC in September 2026 - Nearly four million sq ft of parkland with lakes, stables, a skate park and sports pitches, on Property Finder's description - A broad range of stock, from apartments launched under AED 1 million to estate villas launched above AED 24 million - Reached from Al Qudra Road (D63) ## Considerations - Building continues in parts of the community, with off-plan phases listed for handover between late 2026 and early 2030 - Access is by road; the sources we checked list no metro or tram link to the community - Running costs for the golf course, lakes and parkland feed into service charges, which are not published here; ask for the Mollak figure for the specific building or cluster - The old AKOYA names are still used on some listings and are easily confused with DAMAC Hills 2; check which community a listing is in before comparing prices - DAMAC's website could not be accessed when this page was checked, so figures here come from property portals, press reports and the golf club's own site ## Developments in DAMAC Hills - [Golf Greens](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills/golf-greens): DAMAC Properties; DAMAC Hills, Dubai; under construction; handover Q1 2028; from AED 2,650,000 (as of 2026-11-13) - [DAMAC District](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills/damac-district): DAMAC Properties; DAMAC Hills, Dubai; under construction; handover Q3 2029; from AED 1,447,000 (as of 2026-11-13) ## Nearby areas - [DAMAC Hills 2](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-hills-2) - [DAMAC Lagoons](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-lagoons) - [DAMAC Islands](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/damac-islands) - [Arjan](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/arjan) - [Motor City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/motor-city) - [Dubai Sports City](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-sports-city) - [Dubailand](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubailand) ## Questions and answers ### Is DAMAC Hills the same as AKOYA?
