Damac Islands 2

Damac Islands 2 is a planned island-themed residential subcommunity within Dubai Land. The masterplan organises housing into themed clusters and prioritises an eco-living concept built around five pillars: nature, wellness, adventure, social and cultural life. The layout combines waterfront villas, landscaped green areas and a network of recreational and wellness facilities designed to operate with renewable-energy features and smart infrastructure.

What and where

Damac Islands 2 sits inside the Dubai Land area and is positioned directly adjacent to Damac Islands 1 on the south side. The development is arranged across eight island-themed clusters named Antigua, Maui, Barbados, Mauritius, Cuba, Bermuda, Tahiti and the Bahamas. Housing types include detached villas, semi-detached (twin) villas, terraced villas and townhouses. Townhouses are organised as end and mid units with ground, first and roof floors, each typically featuring an open-plan arrangement, a private garden and a rooftop terrace.

The masterplan emphasises eco-conscious construction and systems. Renewable-energy elements, smart infrastructure and energy-efficient measures are integrated across the site. Landscaped public spaces and waterfronts form a central spine that links lakes, a natural swimming lagoon, floating gardens, hanging bridges and elevated treetop areas.

Development, design and facilities

• Central eco park and a botanic garden with an orchard field and butterfly nesting areas
• A natural swimming lagoon, saltwater pools and floating gardens connected by hanging bridges and observation decks for bird watching
• ‘Whispering waterfall’ with sensor-controlled cascades and trails designed for wooden kayak circulation
• Solar link park with solar charging stations and dedicated e-scooter lanes for sunlight-powered mobility
• Adventure and play zones such as a ‘sky woods’ treehouse park, canopy walk, zipline and wild-park areas with hanging bridges
• Cultural square with a controlled-climate dome, performance stage, food market, museum library, art and sculpture installations and a study garden

Wellness and performance amenities described in the planning materials include a healing spa, hydrotherapy zones, a healing herb garden and aromatherapy offerings, along with an herbal tea bar. Fitness provision covers an eco-friendly gym, biodynamic training programmes, eco performance grounds and outdoor sports fields. Hospitality and club facilities include eco-lodge accommodation, an outdoor clubhouse beside the natural lagoon and an indoor ‘eco hub’ clubhouse with fitness and wellness facilities.

Interior finishes and materials referenced in concept specifications include walnut wood veneer, brushed brass metal finishes and large-format porcelain slabs. Specific tile and stone mentions used in design documentation include Calacatta Gold porcelain for general floors, Marvel W Orobico for accent walls, Entice Elegant Palissandro for master bedroom flooring, Marvel Gala Desert Soul and Marvel W Taj Mahal polished porcelain for master bathrooms, and Fior de Bosco marble for selected countertops.

Residential layout and positioning

Villas are distributed along waterfront frontages and set within landscaped greenery. Units are intended to provide expansive living spaces with private pools and terraces. Each cluster accommodates a mix of detached, semi-detached and terraced properties; townhouses are arranged on multiple levels with private outdoor areas and roof terraces. The design intent emphasises connections to the water and to walking and cycling routes within the masterplan.
