About Damac Islands
DAMAC Islands is an exclusive waterfront master community in Dubailand by DAMAC Properties with over 30 million square feet of development space. This tropical development is inspired by island living. It has six themed clusters named after island destinations like Bora Bora, Maldives, Fiji, Hawaii & Seychelles & Bali, where you can find upscale residential options with clear lagoons, pristine beaches and a variety of resort-style amenities.
Unlike other Damac Communities, this development is a lifestyle destination offering residents water-centric experiences, adventure activities and wellness in a master-planned setting. Its innovative design and comprehensive amenities bring waterfront living in Dubai while ensuring easy access to Dubai’s major business and leisure centres.
Damac Islands - Recent Performance
This Damac Islands launch has been historic. This is testimony to both the appeal of the project and the strength of the Dubai real estate market - Damac Islands set a record revenue of AED 10.23 billion in its first 24 hours of launch.
This is now a Guinness World Record for “Highest Revenue a Real Estate Launch Can Generate in 24 Hours.” That’s a staggering figure that shows just how confident investors are in Damac Properties and just how appealing this island-themed master plan is.
Rapid sales of the initial inventory of villas and townhouses created a FOMO (Fear of Missing out) effect in the market.
From institutional buyers to high-net-worth individuals, global investors are investing heavily in this paradise. Its record performance is an excellent indicator of potential capital appreciation in future phases. Properties in highly-demanded, record-setting communities tend to appreciate quickly as infrastructure is built and the community develops. And for buyers who are eyeing that new apartment launch, this record provides some security and some promise of healthy future growth.

Solo professionals or short-term rental investors will appreciate this unit. These units are both efficient and luxurious and may overlook the community’s landscaping or water features.

Perfect for couples and little families. These units typically have large living areas, balconies and high-end finishes. The resort-style amenities make this 1-bedroom unit a great asset for long-term leasing or even for the lucrative holiday home market on Airbnb.
Why Invest in Damac Islands?
So investing in Damac Islands - particularly in this new apartment phase - is a good deal. Here’s why this project is drawing global capital.
Record-Breaking Market Performance
AED 10.23 billion 24-hour sales-a Guinness World Record - makes DAMAC Islands one of the most desired developments in Dubai right now. This unprecedented demand reflects high buyer confidence & positions early investors to profit from further appreciation when subsequent phases go live at premium pricing.
Exceptional ROI Potential
Investment analysis projects a 35-45% return over 3 years with rental yields of 6.5-7.2% annually when carried out. Phase 1 buyers already saw 15% paper gains when Phase 2 launched with higher pricing, demonstrating the development’s strong value trajectory. Previous DAMAC projects show an average 28% appreciation after handover, giving confidence in long term value growth.
Accessible Payment Structure
DAMAC Islands’ most projects include 5-10% down payment, 70-75% payable during the construction phase and only 25% due on handover in Q4 2028. With this flexible structure, luxury waterfront living is possible while preserving capital for other investments.
