Aquilegia is a residential cluster within the Damac Hills 2 master community in Dubai. Positioned inland rather than on the coastline, Aquilegia was planned as a collection of luxury villas and plots; construction activity and recorded transactions have marked it as a villa-focused pocket within the larger Damac Hills 2 development. The area is part of the city’s suburban ring and is used primarily for low-density family housing with private gardens and community landscaping.
Aquilegia is formally a subcommunity of Damac Hills 2. Its coordinates place it roughly at latitude 24.991979, longitude 55.380944, inside the Dubai municipal area that houses several gated villa communities and green corridors. The original masterplan showed a cluster layout made up of individual plots and villa units organised around internal roads and amenity pockets. In late 2018, a construction contract (reported value Dh269m) was awarded to a UAE-based contractor for building luxury villas in the Aquilegia cluster, indicating the intended standard and product type for the neighbourhood. The Dubai Land Department records include multiple sale transactions for properties within Aquilegia; the public government dataset lists 50 sale transaction records tied to this cluster.
Public transport access to Aquilegia is limited by its suburban location. The nearest metro line indicated in official mapping is the Red Line, station code R73; the distance to that metro node is 22,122 metres, which is not walkable as a daily commute option. Driving is the primary mode of access for residents.
Approximate straight-line or driving distances to key Dubai destinations, as recorded for the community, are:
Reported approximate drive times from the community to selected destinations give a practical sense of travel: around 38 minutes to Dubai Mall and to Palm Jumeirah, about 37 minutes to Burj Al Arab, roughly 42 minutes to The Walk at JBR, near 39 minutes to Dubai International Airport (DXB) and roughly 44 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC). Actual journey times vary with traffic and route choice.
Aquilegia was delivered within the Damac Hills 2 scheme as a villa cluster rather than a high-rise or mixed-use block. The cluster’s masterplan emphasises detached units and low-rise built form, with plot-based construction for family villas. The 2018 construction contract awarded for luxury villas reflects that intent and highlights a developer-led approach to high-spec private housing in the area. Public records list sale transactions for units in the cluster; these are maintained in the Dubai Land Department open data feeds and are updated on working days.
There are no specific separate project links or on-site development pages listed in the official project index for Aquilegia in the provided dataset. Where the masterplan and earlier public announcements specified villa construction, subsequent sales and handovers have been recorded in the government transaction feeds.
As a subcommunity within Damac Hills 2, Aquilegia benefits from the wider area’s planned amenity framework rather than a dense town-centre mix. Residents typically make use of community parks, on-site landscaping and the broader Damac Hills 2 leisure and retail nodes for everyday needs. The nearest listed school identified in project summaries is Dubai British School, Mira, at a distance reported in community material as approximately 8.9 km from Aquilegia; this gives a reference point for school access by road.
Local leisure and visitor-oriented destinations within reasonable driving distance include Global Village (around 11–12 km) and a range of Dubai’s major attractions reachable within roughly half an hour to an hour by car, depending on the destination and traffic conditions.

How do residents travel to central Dubai?
Daily travel is predominantly by car. The nearest metro node on official mapping is on the Red Line (code R73) but it lies more than 22 km from Aquilegia, so driving is the practical transit option. Typical drive times to central and leisure destinations are included in official community summaries.
