DAMAC Islands: homes and area guide

Dubai
Area guide

DAMAC Islands is a master community in Al Yelayiss, on the southern side of Dubai, built around a lagoon and water feature theme with clusters named after real islands. The first phase sells as The Tropics. The second phase, launched after it, is where most current buyer interest sits.

The searches we see are consistently practical: what is in phase 2, when does it hand over, what does a villa cost against a townhouse, and is it too far out. Here are honest answers.

FAQ

Questions about DAMAC Islands

How to buy property in DAMAC Islands?
Buy off-plan directly through DAMAC, or through a licensed broker such as ERE Homes for resale units once a Sales Purchase Agreement has been assigned. Every purchase should be registered with the Dubai Land Department, either through Oqood for off-plan units or a title deed after handover. Speak with us to see current availability.
Is DAMAC Islands sold out?
Phase 1 and the villas and townhouses in DAMAC Islands 2 both sold out within hours of launch, according to DAMAC's own sales figures. An apartment release within the community was still in its launch and allocation phase as of January 2026, so availability depends on the specific cluster and unit type.
When is DAMAC Islands handover?
The phase 2 clusters on our books carry handover dates in June and December 2030, and the first phase Tropics clusters run to December 2030 as well. That is a long construction runway, so anyone buying is committing capital for several years with no rental income during that period.
Where is DAMAC Islands?
DAMAC Islands and its second phase sit in Al Yelayiss 1, on the southern development corridor of Dubai beyond Dubailand. It is a master community built around a lagoon and water feature theme, with clusters named after real islands, and it is a suburban location rather than a central one.
