DAMAC Islands 2 is a collection of four and five bedroom villas, six bedroom villas with maid rooms and five bedroom townhouses by DAMAC Properties, in Al Yelayiss 1, Dubailand. DAMAC describes it as a new chapter in island living, inspired by eight island escapes, Bahamas, Tahiti, Bermuda, Barbados, Cuba, Maui, Mauritius and Antigua. The masterplan is organised around five stated pillars of eco living, Nature, Wellness, Adventure, Social and Cultural, and it runs to 20 million square feet.
Prices at DAMAC Islands 2 start from AED 2,990,000, which is approximately USD 814,000 at the fixed dirham peg of 3.6725. Ten separate clusters are registered with the Dubai Land Department under this masterplan, holding 4,659 villas in total, every one of them with a confirmed regulator controlled escrow account.

The Ten Registered Clusters at DAMAC Islands 2
DAMAC markets DAMAC Islands 2 as one project. The Dubai Land Department registers it as ten separate escrow backed developments. Those registrations are public, and they are the only place you can see how the masterplan is actually phased. Here is the full picture.
| Cluster | Registered villas | Registered completion |
|---|---|---|
| Bahamas 2 | 666 | 30 June 2030 |
| Bahamas 1 | 544 | 30 June 2030 |
| Cuba | 544 | 30 June 2030 |
| Tahiti 2 | 484 | 30 June 2030 |
| Bermuda | 469 | 30 June 2030 |
| Antigua 1 | 468 | 31 December 2030 |
| Maui | 434 | 30 June 2030 |
| Barbados 1 | 382 | 30 June 2030 |
| Barbados 2 | 362 | 30 June 2030 |
| Tahiti 1 | 306 | 30 June 2030 |
| Total | 4,659 | 2030 |
Two things are worth reading off that table. Bahamas 2 alone carries 666 villas, more than the entire Emaar release at Grand Polo Equiterra 2. And Antigua 1 is filed six months behind the other nine, which is the sort of detail that matters if you are timing a handover against a rental start date.
DAMAC names eight islands in its own material, including Mauritius. No Mauritius cluster appears in the 2026 cohort of the Dubai Land Department register. That means it is either registered under an earlier cohort or not yet registered. We will check the live entry for you rather than assume it.
Features & Amenities
DAMAC organises the amenity programme at DAMAC Islands 2 into nine named districts rather than a single clubhouse. These are DAMAC’s own designations.
- Tranquil Lake Eco Park, with Zen Gardens and Verdant Waters
- Whispering Waterfall, where water and wellness intertwine
- Botanic Garden, with tropical birds and orchard scented air
- Island Vida Wellness, a Healing Spa set among herb gardens
- Sky Woods Adventure, with Canopy Walks and a Treehouse Park
- Eco Lodge Hospitality, with farm to table dining and organic pools
- Garden of Insight, a study garden with art and sculpture
- Eco Explorers Land, with a Wild Park and an observation deck
- Solar Link Park, built around e scooter routes and solar canopies
The scale is the point. Twenty million square feet across ten clusters puts DAMAC Islands 2 among the largest single villa masterplans currently registered in Dubai. For comparison, Emaar’s The Oasis covers 100 million square feet with around 2,600 villas, while DAMAC Islands 2 fits 4,659 registered villas into a fifth of that land. That is a materially higher density, and it is the trade you are making for the lower entry price.
Location & Connectivity
DAMAC Islands 2 sits in Al Yelayiss 1, in the Dubailand belt, next to the existing DAMAC Islands phase one and within the DAMAC Hills corridor. DAMAC publishes its own drive times, and we quote them as published rather than rounding them down.
- Al Maktoum International Airport. 23 minutes
- Dubai International Airport. 40 minutes
- Village Community Mall. 10 minutes, with The Ranches Souk closer still
- South View School Dubai. 18 minutes, GEMS Winchester School Dubai 24 minutes
- Studio One Hotel. 16 minutes, Radisson Hotel Dubai DAMAC Hills 21 minutes
- Health Connect Clinic. 23 minutes, Dubai London Clinic The Villa Branch 24 minutes
Read that honestly. Forty minutes to Dubai International is a real commute, and the nearest hospital grade healthcare is over twenty minutes away. What you get in exchange is a villa entry price of AED 2.99 million in a market where the equivalent Emaar villa product starts at AED 6 million and up. That is the trade, and it is a reasonable one for the right buyer.
DAMAC Islands 2 Handover Date
The completion dates registered with the Dubai Land Department are 30 June 2030 for nine of the ten clusters, and 31 December 2030 for Antigua 1. Those are the dates filed with the regulator, not sales floor estimates.
A registered completion date is a schedule, not a guarantee. Dubai has significant handover volume arriving through 2027 and 2028, and a 2030 completion sits well beyond the heaviest part of that wave. We track the register monthly and we will tell you if a filed date moves on any cluster.
DAMAC Islands 2 Payment Plan
DAMAC has not published a payment plan for DAMAC Islands 2 on its public project page, and we are not going to reproduce numbers we cannot source. DAMAC villa launches typically run a construction linked schedule with a deposit on booking and a balance at handover, but the specific split for each cluster should come from DAMAC or from us in writing, never from a portal listing.
Ask us for the current payment schedule and we will send the developer’s own document. If you are weighing off plan against ready stock, one figure is worth knowing first. On the August 2026 Dubai register, off plan sold at a 33.1 per cent premium per square foot over identical ready homes in the same community and the same bedroom count. The commonly quoted premium is around 21 per cent, and that number understates it because it compares different locations. Our full working is published in the matched off plan premium report.
DAMAC Islands 2 Floor Plans
DAMAC publishes a 3D unit explorer and a brochure for DAMAC Islands 2 but has not released unit level floor plans with stated internal areas publicly at the time of writing. We hold developer material as it is issued. Request the floor plan pack for the four bedroom, five bedroom or six bedroom layouts and we will send what DAMAC has released, with plot and built up areas stated exactly as the developer states them.
We will not send you a redrawn plan from a portal. If a plan reaches you from us it came from the developer.
Why Invest in DAMAC Islands 2
The escrow position is confirmed on every cluster. All ten registered developments hold a regulator controlled escrow account recorded with the Dubai Land Department. Under Dubai Law No. 8 of 2007, buyer payments into a registered escrow are released against verified construction progress, and Article 9 places those funds beyond the reach of the developer’s other creditors. That is a structural protection and it is worth checking on any off plan purchase rather than taking it on trust.
The entry price is the lowest in the new villa cohort. AED 2.99 million buys a villa here. Across the 2026 registered villa launches we track, the Emaar equivalents start at AED 3.5 million for townhouses and AED 6 million and up for villas. If your brief is a freehold villa at the lowest defensible price from a major listed developer, this is currently where that sits.
Phase one is already on the ground. DAMAC Islands phase one is a registered, selling, partly built community next door, with Bora Bora, Bali and Fiji clusters. A second phase adjacent to a proven first phase is a different risk profile from a first mover launch in open desert.
Supply context, stated honestly. 4,659 villas in one masterplan is a large volume arriving at broadly one moment. Release size tells you how much competing stock hits the resale market at the same time your unit does. In 2030 this masterplan alone will be adding more villas than most full communities hold. Price your exit accordingly, and treat the rental yield case as the primary one rather than a quick flip.
