DAMAC Hills 2 questions, answered
What is the difference between DAMAC Hills 2 and DAMAC Hills?+
DAMAC Hills 2, formerly Akoya, is a separate and generally more affordable master community set further from the city, while the original DAMAC Hills is built around the Trump International Golf Club closer in. Both are developed by DAMAC, but DAMAC Hills 2 is positioned as the value-focused, family villa option.
Who develops DAMAC Hills 2?+
DAMAC Hills 2 is developed by DAMAC Properties, one of Dubai's largest private developers, which also delivered the original DAMAC Hills. The community was launched under the Akoya name before being rebranded as DAMAC Hills 2.
What types of property are in DAMAC Hills 2?+
The community is led by villas and townhouses, with some apartment options, spanning a range of sizes and price points. This makes it one of the more accessible ways to buy a villa or townhouse in Dubai while still enjoying community amenities.
Is DAMAC Hills 2 good for families and investors?+
DAMAC Hills 2 suits families and investors looking for value, offering affordable villas and townhouses alongside water features, sports facilities, parks and planned schools and retail. Its accessible pricing and self-contained lifestyle support both owner-occupier demand and rental interest.
Can buying property in DAMAC Hills 2 get me a UAE Golden Visa?+
Yes, if the property is worth at least AED 2 million. That is the minimum property value for the UAE Golden Visa for property investors, as set out on the official UAE government portal u.ae. You can combine several properties to reach AED 2 million only if they are all in the same emirate, and off plan homes have extra conditions. The visa itself is issued by the UAE authorities (ICP, and GDRFA in Dubai); EQT helps you choose and buy a property in DAMAC Hills 2 that qualifies. In Dubai Land Department sales over the last 12 months, the typical home of every size in DAMAC Hills 2 sold for less than AED 2 million, so check the exact price of the home you like, or combine it with another property in Dubai.
