About DAMAC Maison Canal Views
DAMAC Maison Canal Views is a 22-storey hotel-apartment tower on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, developed by DAMAC Properties and operated under the DAMAC Hotels & Resorts brand. Completed in 2014, the building sits directly on the Dubai Water Canal and offers more than 200 fully furnished suites ranging from studios to three-bedroom layouts, combining hotel-style service with individually rentable apartment units.
DAMAC Maison is a wider hospitality brand with several separate towers across Business Bay carrying the same "DAMAC Maison" name, and Canal Views is easy to confuse with its sister properties. DAMAC Maison Cour Jardin, a 20-storey tower on the same canal stretch, was completed in March 2014, just months apart from Canal Views. DAMAC Maison Bay's Edge, a taller 23-storey tower also on the Dubai Water Canal, opened later in November 2016 with 220 units. Further sister properties operate under the DAMAC Maison Prive and DAMAC Maison Majestine names. Each is a distinct building with its own address, floor count, and completion date. This guide covers Canal Views specifically, not any of its siblings.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
DAMAC Maison Canal Views sits on Marasi Drive in Business Bay, Dubai's canal-side business and residential district, directly on the Dubai Water Canal. For the fuller picture of how Royale Stays manages Airbnb properties across Business Bay, see the Royale Stays Business Bay Airbnb management guide. The tower places residents a short drive from Downtown Dubai and Burj Khalifa, with Dubai Design District and DIFC also nearby.
DAMAC Maison Canal Views joins Royale Stays' wider Business Bay Building Guide cluster, alongside Ahad Residences and DAMAC Reva Residences, two of the other Business Bay towers Royale Stays has covered, alongside the guide to Vezul Residence.
Unit Types
DAMAC Maison Canal Views offers a hotel-apartment format: fully furnished units ranging from studios through one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites, run with hospitality-style services such as housekeeping and a concierge desk alongside standard apartment layouts. Reported unit sizes vary noticeably across sources for this building, so this guide describes the mix qualitatively rather than citing square-footage figures that do not agree with each other.
Amenities
Amenities at DAMAC Maison Canal Views include an outdoor swimming pool with a separate kids' pool, a gym, a spa with sauna, and a children's play area, alongside ground-floor retail and dining. 24/7 security, concierge, and housekeeping services reflect the building's hotel-apartment operating model.
Transportation & Access
Business Bay is served by the Dubai Metro's Business Bay station, with the Dubai Water Canal promenade running directly past the building. Sheikh Zayed Road access places Downtown Dubai and Dubai International Airport within a short drive.
Rental & Price Trends
Royale Stays has not yet compiled DAMAC Maison Canal Views-specific market data covering long-term lease rents or service charges in this pass, so no building-specific figures are stated here rather than an invented estimate. Owners considering a unit at DAMAC Maison Canal Views can run their own numbers through Royale Stays' Dubai property ROI calculator for a unit-specific estimate instead.
Airbnb / Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Short-term letting anywhere in Dubai, including at DAMAC Maison Canal Views, runs through a DTCM (Department of Economy and Tourism) holiday home permit. Because the building operates under the DAMAC Hotels & Resorts brand rather than being sold purely as freehold apartments, an outside operator cannot apply for that permit directly: the building's own management company arranges it once an owner reaches out, the same routing that applies to other hotel-branded buildings in Royale Stays' Business Bay cluster. Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what the process involves.
DAMAC Maison Canal Views already appears on booking platforms including Booking.com and Tripadvisor, though that presence largely reflects the hotel's own room inventory rather than independent, owner-managed Airbnb listings. Royale Stays manages furnishing, photography, pricing, and guest communications for owners across Business Bay from a fee starting at 15%, and can help an owner assess whether an individually-owned unit at Canal Views fits that model. For a wider comparison of what to look for in an operator, see Royale Stays' guide to choosing an Airbnb management company.
Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review.
Royale Stays does not yet have DAMAC Maison Canal Views-specific portfolio data to draw on for this guide; income context reflects Royale Stays' wider Business Bay operator experience, reviewed by Chris Veinbaums, DTCM-licensed operator.
