USEFUL INFORMATION

Things You Should Know

DAMAC Hills 2 is a large-scale master-planned residential community developed by DAMAC Properties, located in the Dubailand district along Al Qudra Road — approximately 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai and 25 minutes from Al Maktoum International Airport. Originally launched and marketed as Akoya Oxygen — a name that reflected its foundational identity as Dubai's greenest and most nature-immersive residential community — the development was rebranded as DAMAC Hills 2 to align with the broader DAMAC Hills community brand and to reflect its growing scale and ambition as a standalone residential destination. The community spans an extraordinary 55 million sq ft — significantly larger than the original DAMAC Hills masterplan — and is organized around an 18-hole Trump World Golf Club Dubai course, a central recreation hub called The Fitness Village, multiple water and leisure parks, and an extensive network of cycling tracks, jogging paths, and green corridors that give the community its defining natural and outdoor character. DAMAC Hills 2 comprises dozens of sub-communities and villa and townhouse clusters — including Claret, Violets, Camelia, Zinnia, Centaury, Marigold, and many others — offering a wide spectrum of property types and price points that make it one of Dubai's most accessible and diverse villa community markets. In 2026, DAMAC Hills 2 is in active development with new clusters being delivered and occupied regularly — a community in the exciting and tangible process of becoming one of Dubai's great residential neighborhoods.

DAMAC Hills 2 offers a lifestyle defined by nature, outdoor activity, and an extraordinary abundance of green space and leisure infrastructure that is genuinely unmatched among Dubai's affordable residential communities. The community's foundational design philosophy — more oxygen, more green, more life — translates into a daily living experience centered on morning cycles through lush green corridors, afternoon swims in community pools, weekends at the Malibu Bay wave pool, and evenings on the terrace watching the desert sunset over the golf course fairways. The Fitness Village — DAMAC Hills 2's central recreation hub — is a genuinely impressive community amenity, housing multiple swimming pools, a wave pool, a lazy river, a skate park, tennis and basketball courts, and an extensive outdoor fitness and leisure zone that gives residents a resort-quality leisure destination within their own community. The Trump World Golf Club Dubai adds a world-class sporting dimension — with an 18-hole championship course, driving range, and clubhouse providing a genuine golf lifestyle for residents and members. The community's Al Qudra Lakes proximity — one of the UAE's most beloved natural birding and outdoor recreation destinations — adds an extraordinary natural extension to the DAMAC Hills 2 lifestyle that no amount of community investment can manufacture. DAMAC Hills 2's lifestyle is fundamentally about abundance — of space, of greenery, of outdoor living — at a price point that makes it the most accessible premium community lifestyle in Dubai.

DAMAC Hills 2 offers an extraordinary and rapidly expanding amenity ecosystem for an affordable community:

  • Trump World Golf Club Dubai — 18-hole championship golf course with driving range, clubhouse, pro shop, and dining facilities

  • Malibu Bay Wave Pool — The community's own private wave pool and beach club experience — a remarkable amenity for an affordable villa community

  • The Fitness Village — DAMAC Hills 2's central recreation hub with multiple pools, lazy river, skate park, tennis courts, basketball courts, and outdoor fitness zones

  • Paintball Park — Community paintball and outdoor adventure activity facility

  • Petting Zoo & Butterfly Garden — Unique family-oriented nature attractions within the community

  • Cricket Ground — Dedicated cricket pitch serving the community's large South Asian resident population

  • Cycling & Jogging Tracks — Extensive network of dedicated cycling and jogging paths throughout the community's green corridors

  • Al Qudra Lakes (nearby) — One of the UAE's most beloved natural birding and outdoor recreation destinations — approximately 10 minutes away

  • Community Retail Center — Supermarkets, pharmacies, cafes, and essential daily services within the community

  • Nurseries & Schools — Fairgreen International School and multiple nurseries within and adjacent to the community

  • Fitness Centers — Multiple community gyms and outdoor fitness stations throughout the development

DAMAC Hills 2 is home to one of Dubai's most rapidly growing, diverse, and community-spirited residential populations — a genuinely multicultural neighborhood of families, young couples, first-time buyers, and investors from across South Asia, the Arab world, Europe, and beyond, united by a shared appreciation for green living, outdoor lifestyle, and the extraordinary value that DAMAC Hills 2 delivers relative to comparable Dubai communities. The community's demographic is predominantly family-oriented — parents who are drawn by the safe, spacious, and green environment, the extensive children's amenities, the affordable villa pricing, and the sense of space and freedom that apartment living in more central Dubai communities simply cannot provide. There is a particularly strong and vibrant South Asian community within DAMAC Hills 2 — reflected in the community's cricket ground, diverse retail and dining offering, and the warm and socially active neighborhood culture that characterizes many of the community's villa clusters. In 2026, DAMAC Hills 2's community is at an exciting inflection point — large enough to feel like a real and established neighborhood, but still growing and evolving in ways that create genuine energy and momentum for residents who are part of the community's formative years.

  • Al Qudra Road (D63) — Primary arterial road running through and adjacent to DAMAC Hills 2 connecting to Umm Suqeim Road and the broader Dubai road network

  • Emirates Road (E611) — Key highway connector approximately 15 minutes away providing fast access to Dubai, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi

    DAMAC Hills 2 is a car-dependent community with no current Metro or public transport connectivity. However, the planned Dubai Metro Blue Line extension through the Dubailand corridor — anticipated in phases from 2029 — is expected to bring Metro access significantly closer to the community and act as a meaningful property value catalyst. Al Maktoum International Airport's proximity — and its planned expansion into one of the world's largest aviation hubs — is DAMAC Hills 2's most significant long-term connectivity asset and a key driver of its investment appeal for buyers focused on long-term capital appreciation.
