Damac Hills is a district of Dubai, 2 listings available with us.
Damac Hills is a large gated residential community in DubaiLand developed by Damac Properties. The masterplan organises villas, townhouses and apartments around an 18‑hole championship golf course and extensive parkland. The neighbourhood was delivered in phases from 2015, with the first residents moving in that year and the project largely complete by 2020.
Damac Hills (formerly marketed as Akoya) occupies a multi‑million‑square‑foot site in the DubaiLand area. The neighbourhood combines golf‑front villas, parkside homes and several clusters of apartment buildings, together with retail and leisure components intended to serve residents across the masterplan. The development includes private parkland and a PGA championship golf course developed in collaboration with Donald Trump; the course opened in February 2017.
Key numerical elements published for the development include 3,008 villas and townhouses and 4,335 apartments (studios and one‑ to three‑bedroom units). In addition there are 163 serviced hotel villas and 4,317 serviced apartments, hotel rooms and hotel apartments. The whole project covers an area described in developer material as a 42 million square foot development, with parkland and a multi‑purpose arena.
Public transport access from Damac Hills is limited: the nearest Dubai Metro line referenced is the Red Line (station code R73), at about 9.0 km from the community; the metro station is not within comfortable walking distance. Road travel times depend on traffic, but the site is positioned approximately as follows (distances rounded from published figures):
Published driving estimates indicate roughly 25 minutes to The Dubai Mall and about 41 minutes to Dubai International Airport, although actual travel times vary with traffic conditions.
The masterplan arranges residential clusters around two primary landscapes: the golf course and a dedicated park area of approximately 400,000 square metres. Residential types are grouped under several categories in developer material: golf‑course villas, park villas, golf residences (apartments overlooking the course), park residences and large villa clusters referred to as The Masters.
Amenities listed in project descriptions include a clubhouse with restaurants, a swimming pool and gym, a children’s play area named Little Village, supermarkets, pharmacies, banks, schools and nurseries, and retail elements clustered around a Damac Mall that has been operating and attracting visitors since opening.

Damac Hills is aimed at buyers and occupiers seeking a suburban, family‑oriented environment within a gated masterplan. The combination of detached villas, townhouses and apartments around a golf course and large park areas caters to households prioritising outdoor space, recreational amenities and on‑site retail. The availability of serviced hotel apartments and hotel villas also positions parts of the development for short‑term stay and investor interest in hospitality product types.

The figures below come from registered Dubai Land Department transactions, not from listings. We show the median rather than the mean, so that one-off penthouses do not distort it.
The yearly figure compares the last 12 months with the 12 before them. Calendar years would not work here: the current one is unfinished, so the comparison would understate the change. The median across the whole district moved +25% over the same year — that gap reflects which buildings came to market, not existing homes changing in price.
From 2022 to 2025 — +12% on the price per square metre across 6 buildings that traded in both years.
For comparison: the median across the whole district moved +52%. The gap between the two figures is not existing homes appreciating — it is newer, more expensive buildings entering the market. Returns on a purchase follow the first figure.
Top to bottom: purchase price per m², year, annual rent per m², gross yield. Showing the last 6 years, from 2014.
* 2026 is still in progress, so its bar covers part of the year and is not directly comparable with the ones before it. The growth figure below uses completed years only.
All figures are medians rather than means: in thin years the mean swings with the mix of units and shows movement the market never had. The yield is gross — service charges are not published in the register, so they cannot be deducted honestly.
