About DAMAC Hills 2

DAMAC Hills 2 is a DAMAC Properties master community in Dubailand, spanning roughly 42 million square feet with more than 14,000 villas and townhouses plus over 2,100 apartments across themed sub-clusters, including Basswood, Vardon, Amazonia, Avencia, Primrose and Centaury among others. The community launched in 2014 as 'Akoya Oxygen' and was rebranded DAMAC Hills 2 in June 2021 alongside a revised, leisure-focused masterplan built around the developer's own 'more water, more sports, more fun' positioning.

Key amenities per the developer include Malibu Beach, a man-made lagoon with a lazy river and wave pool, Sports Town, Motor Town, an equestrian park and a floating cinema. DAMAC Hills 2 is genuinely distinct from both 'DAMAC Hills' (the separate, golf-course community anchored around the Trump World Golf Club) and 'DAMAC Lagoons' (a separate, newer Mediterranean-themed community), and Royale Stays is careful not to conflate the three.


Location & Connectivity

DAMAC Hills 2 sits in Dubailand between Jebel Ali-Lehbab Road (E77) and Al Ain-Dubai Highway (E66), roughly 15 minutes from Al Qudra Road. The community has no Metro station of its own, and is genuinely car-dependent. Drive-time estimates to Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina vary meaningfully by source, from roughly 25 to 30 minutes on some routes up to 35 to 50 minutes depending on traffic and route, so Royale Stays states this range honestly rather than citing only the more flattering figure.


Rental Market and Short-Term Rental Context

Gross rental yield estimates for DAMAC Hills 2 cluster between roughly 5.4% and 8% across sources, with one market-analysis firm computing 5.46 to 5.47% from real Ejari contracts and DLD sales data, and other portals citing figures in the 6 to 8% range. Royale Stays states this spread honestly rather than picking the most favorable number; net yield typically runs 200 to 300 basis points lower after service charges and fees. Pricing in DAMAC Hills 2 runs roughly 30 to 40% below central Dubai equivalents. No area-specific short-term rental occupancy, ADR or permit-volume figure was found, so none is asserted here.


Buildings in DAMAC Hills 2

Royale Stays currently covers six DAMAC Hills 2 communities in detail. Each guide below sets out that community's own unit mix, amenities and short-term rental outlook.


Why Manage Here

DAMAC Hills 2's documented 5.4 to 8% gross yields sit at or above many central-Dubai apartment benchmarks, and villa and townhouse short-term rental demand skews toward larger groups and families wanting a private pool, garden or multi-bedroom configuration that apartment towers cannot offer, matching DAMAC Hills 2's own unit mix directly. DAMAC Hills 2 is already one of Royale Stays' confirmed villa-management areas, alongside Mag City, not a prospective expansion claim, so the company's real Dubai villa-management track record applies here directly.

Royale Stays does not yet have an area-specific occupancy or income figure of its own for DAMAC Hills 2, so no such number is asserted here beyond what each community's own building guide states.


Getting Started

Royale Stays manages the full furnishing, photography, pricing, check-in and guest communications process for DAMAC Hills 2 owners who prefer not to handle it directly, from a fee starting at 15% of gross booking revenue. Owners still need a DTCM holiday home permit, and Royale Stays' guide to the Dubai holiday home permit covers what that process and fees generally involve.

Owners ready to move forward can submit their property for a management review.
