Project scale and delivery status

Damac Islands 2 – Barbados 1 forms part of the planned Damac Islands 2 residential subcommunity in Dubai Land. The project has 382 units and a recorded total area of 67,531.40. It is active, with construction having commenced on 2 May 2026. The latest inspection recorded a completion ratio of 0.18, equivalent to 0.18%, on 10 June 2026. The stated completion date is 30 June 2030. Damac Islands 2 is positioned directly south of Damac Islands 1 and is planned as an island-themed residential setting with landscaped green areas, waterfronts, recreational facilities, smart infrastructure and renewable-energy features.

The Damac Islands 2 masterplan

Damac Islands 2 is organised into eight themed clusters: Antigua, Maui, Barbados, Mauritius, Cuba, Bermuda, Tahiti and the Bahamas. The community plan combines waterfront homes, landscaped public spaces and a network of walking and cycling routes. Its landscape structure links lakes, a natural swimming lagoon, floating gardens, hanging bridges and elevated treetop areas. The masterplan is founded on five themes: nature, wellness, adventure, social life and cultural life. Renewable-energy elements, energy-efficient measures and smart infrastructure are integrated into the wider site design. Waterfronts and green areas form a central part of the community layout, rather than being limited to individual residential plots.

Residential setting and design direction

The wider community includes detached villas, semi-detached twin villas, terraced villas and townhouses. Townhouses are arranged as end and mid units over ground, first and roof levels, with open-plan layouts, private gardens and rooftop terraces. Villas are distributed along waterfront frontages and within landscaped greenery. The residential design intent includes expansive living areas, private pools and terraces, with connections to water features and internal walking and cycling routes. Concept specifications reference walnut wood veneer, brushed brass finishes and large-format porcelain slabs. Materials identified for selected interior applications include Calacatta Gold porcelain, Marvel W Orobico, Entice Elegant Palissandro, Marvel Gala Desert Soul, Marvel W Taj Mahal polished porcelain and Fior de Bosco marble.

Waterfront, nature and adventure facilities

The masterplan includes a central eco park and a botanic garden with an orchard field and butterfly nesting areas. A natural swimming lagoon, saltwater pools and floating gardens are linked by hanging bridges and bird-watching observation decks. A whispering waterfall is planned with sensor-controlled cascades and wooden-kayak trails. The solar link park incorporates solar charging stations and dedicated e-scooter lanes. Adventure facilities include the Sky Woods treehouse park, a canopy walk, a zipline and wild-park areas with hanging bridges. These facilities are planned alongside landscaped waterfronts and public spaces, creating a community-wide network of outdoor areas rather than a single central leisure building.

Wellness, sport and cultural spaces

Wellness provision in Damac Islands 2 includes a healing spa, hydrotherapy zones, a healing herb garden, aromatherapy offerings and an herbal tea bar. Fitness facilities include an eco-friendly gym, biodynamic training programmes, eco performance grounds and outdoor sports fields. The community plan also includes an outdoor clubhouse beside the natural lagoon and an indoor eco hub clubhouse with fitness and wellness facilities. A cultural square is planned with a controlled-climate dome, performance stage, food market, museum library, art and sculpture installations, and a study garden. Eco-lodge accommodation is also included within the wider hospitality and club facilities planned for the community.
