DAMAC Hills 2 (formerly Akoya Oxygen) is the larger, newer expansion community along Al Qudra Road with lower entry prices, more active appreciation, and greater long-term upside as the surrounding area develops – suited to growth-oriented investors.

DAMAC Hills 2 is Dubai’s only large-scale villa community with a man-made beach wave pool (Malibu Bay), 20+ individually themed residential clusters each with private pools and landscaped parks, and an outdoor lifestyle spanning 40 million sqft. No other affordable Dubai community offers this density of nature-integrated amenities at villa prices from AED 1.3M.

DAMAC Hills 2 offers 2-6 bedroom villas (AED 1.3M-4.3M), 3-4 bedroom townhouses (AED 1.4M-2.5M), and studios to 2-bedroom apartments (from AED 800K).

DAMAC Hills 2 is accessed via Al Qudra Road and Emirates Road (E611), placing it 30 minutes from Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina and 10 minutes from Dubai Sports City. Al Qudra Road upgrades are ongoing, and planned Dubai Metro expansion in the Dubailand corridor is expected to improve connectivity and catalyse a further price re-rating.

Schools within proximity include South View School in Remraam (15 min), Fairgreen International School in The Sustainable City (10 min), and GEMS United School in Dubai Sports City (10 min). Community nurseries are available within DAMAC Hills 2 itself, and a wider school ecosystem is developing as the community population grows.

Yes. DAMAC Hills 2 is one of Dubai’s most active off-plan markets, with new cluster launches consistently sold out. Off-plan units are typically 20-30% cheaper per sqft than ready units, with flexible 1% per month payment plans. The 22% villa appreciation from 2021-2023 and 13.5% YoY growth in October 2025 confirm that off-plan entry in this community has historically delivered strong returns.

The long-term outlook is anchored by four drivers: Al Qudra Road infrastructure upgrades improving connectivity; Dubailand masterplan delivering schools, retail, and services to the corridor; a continuing affordability premium vs other Dubai villa communities; and DAMAC’s ongoing cluster launches ensuring community momentum and new amenity delivery. Analysts characterise DAMAC Hills 2 as the ideal Dubai growth play for investors who want villa ownership at the lowest price point with above-average appreciation potential through 2030.
