DAMAC Lagoons

DAMAC Lagoons sits in Dubailand between Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), Al Khail Road (E44) and Emirates Road (E611), with its main access from Hessa Street. The community is freehold and open to buyers of all nationalities.

Each cluster takes its architecture and landscaping from a Mediterranean destination, and the clusters are linked by lagoons, beaches and landscaped walkways. Delivery is phased: Bayut lists handovers from Q2 2025 for Portofino through to 2030 for the newest apartment buildings.

Life in DAMAC Lagoons is built around water. Residents have swimmable crystal lagoons, sandy beaches and waterfront leisure areas within walking distance of home, giving a resort feel in a suburban setting.

The community suits families who want a villa or townhouse with outdoor space, as well as first-time buyers and investors looking at the newer apartment buildings. It is quieter than central Dubai, and most residents rely on a car for daily trips.
