Damac Hills

Damac Hills (registered as Al Hebiah Third, and originally marketed as Akoya by Damac) is Damac Properties' flagship golf-course master community, spanning 390 hectares in Dubailand. Anchored by the Trump International Golf Club Dubai, an 18-hole championship course, the community combines villas, townhouses and apartments across more than 60 registered buildings and clusters, giving it one of the deepest and most liquid secondary markets of any Damac development.

Now over a decade into its development cycle, Damac Hills has matured into a genuinely self-contained suburb, with parks, schools, supermarkets, cafes and sports facilities woven throughout its footprint. Golf-facing villas command a clear premium — typically 15-25% above non-golf-facing equivalents — reflecting the enduring pull of the Trump-branded course at the community's centre.

For investors, Damac Hills sits a rung below Arabian Ranches and Dubai Hills Estate on prestige but offers a meaningfully lower entry price and higher rental yield, making it a popular choice for buyers who want golf-course living without golf-course pricing.

Damac Hills offers one of Dubai's most established golf-course lifestyles at a meaningfully lower entry price than Emirates Hills or Dubai Hills Estate, anchored by the Trump International Golf Club Dubai. Its scale — 63+ registered buildings and clusters — gives it a deep, liquid secondary market rare among villa communities of comparable age.

Villa prices rose over 20% in Q1 2025 alone, and 2022-23 buyers who paid around AED 2.2M are now seeing valuations of AED 3.0M-3.5M. Combined with gross rental yields of 6.5-8% across apartments and townhouses, Damac Hills continues to outperform many comparable villa communities on yield while offering genuine capital growth momentum.

The 390-hectare community includes its own internal road network, parks, schools, supermarkets and sports facilities, with external access via Umm Suqeim Road extension and Al Qudra Road connecting to the wider Dubailand corridor.

Continued absorption of remaining Damac Hills inventory, ongoing retail and amenity expansion, and spillover infrastructure investment from neighbouring Damac Lagoons and Damac Hills 2 are expected to support further price appreciation.

Best suited to families seeking golf-course living at accessible pricing, and yield-focused investors targeting apartments and townhouses with gross yields of 6.5-8%.

Damac Hills recorded 1,392 sales transactions in its Al Hebiah Third registration zone at an average of AED 1,483 per sqft, per DLD-referenced data, while broader listings-based analysis puts the area average closer to AED 1,516-1,653 per sqft. Golf-facing villas command a 15-25% premium — the single strongest price driver in the community.

The original Damac Hills community logged 4,063 rental contracts in the most recent 12-month period at an average annual rent of AED 117,559, indicating a healthy diversity of property types and strong, mature rental demand.

Damac continues limited infill development within Damac Hills while shifting new supply focus to neighbouring Damac Hills 2, Damac Lagoons and Damac Islands, which is expected to support Damac Hills' scarcity value as a matured community.

Continued road network upgrades along Umm Suqeim Road and Al Qudra Road, alongside amenity investment across the Dubailand corridor, are expected to further improve connectivity and community desirability.

The outlook remains positive: strong recent capital appreciation, robust rental demand, and Damac Hills' position as the most established, amenity-complete community in the Damac Dubailand portfolio support continued investor interest.
