Antigua DAMAC Islands 2 Dubai

Antigua is the last of the eight clusters in DAMAC Islands 2, the island-themed townhouse and villa community DAMAC Properties is building in Dubailand. It launched on 28 February 2026, three and a half months after the first release, and offers 4 and 5 BHK townhouses and 5 BHK twin villas. DAMAC's own guide lists the four-bedroom from AED 2.99 M (about Rs 7.70 crore).

Five-bedroom townhouses are quoted from about AED 3.49 M. The plan is 10/65/25 - a smaller booking than the first-release clusters, a heavier construction share - and handover is due by 30 June 2030, with some pages printing Q4 2030. It is the cheapest four-bedroom entry into DAMAC Islands 2 that we could price, and the one with the fewest published details.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 2.99 M because DAMAC's own Antigua guide uses it and two broker pages agree. The catalogue carries no price for this row. One broker page says Antigua and Mauritius launched at AED 2.85 million, slightly above the earliest Bahamas and Bermuda openings. The AED 140,000 gap may be a launch-day price against a later list, or a different plot; the SPA price is the one that counts. Bayut already carries Antigua listings, so resale asks exist - compare them with DAMAC's price before you pay a premium.

Antigua's own sizes are not in any source we checked. If its four-bedroom follows the 2,186 sq ft plan used in Bermuda and Tahiti, AED 2.99 million is about AED 1,368 per sq ft. That sits between phase-one DAMAC Islands (about AED 1,259 per sq ft on the same plan) and Bermuda and Tahiti (about AED 1,523), and well above the AED 780 to 920 that DAMAC Lagoons townhouses launched at. Ask DAMAC for the floor plan and the plot size and write them into the SPA.

Antigua against the first-release clusters

Antigua's four-bedroom is about AED 339,000 cheaper than the first-release list, and its five-bedroom about AED 69,000 to 174,000 cheaper. Both totals still pay 75% before handover.

Payment plan and total cost

The published plan is 10% on booking, 65% during construction and 25% at handover, nothing after. It is the same 75/25 total as the other clusters but shifted: half the booking, ten points more during the build. That helps a buyer who is short of a lump sum today and hurts one who is counting on a light construction period.

Worked example: the AED 2,990,000 four-bedroom on 10/65/25

The 4% DLD fee is usually paid with the booking in Dubai, so the real day-one cheque is about AED 418,600 (booking plus fee) rather than AED 299,000. A broker microsite for DAMAC Islands 2 advertises a DLD-fee waiver and a spot discount; we found neither on a DAMAC page, so get any such offer in the SPA before relying on it.

Service charge. Not published. Guides for neighbouring DAMAC Lagoons quote AED 6 to 8 per sq ft a year in one case and AED 14 to 18 in another; on a 2,186 sq ft townhouse that is about AED 13,100 to 39,300 a year. Ask DAMAC for the DAMAC Islands 2 estimate in writing.

Location and connectivity

DAMAC Islands 2 is in Dubailand, south of DAMAC Lagoons and DAMAC Hills, reached from Emirates Road (E611) and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311). One broker guide puts Downtown Dubai about 30 to 35 minutes away on a clear road and Dubai International Airport about 35 to 40 minutes. Global Village and Dubai Outlet Mall are the nearest large attractions. There is no metro and none announced.

The master community is quoted at about 20 million sq ft, organised around nature, wellness, adventure, social and cultural themes with more than 45 amenities. Antigua is the last cluster to launch, so expect the rest of the community to be under construction around it for most of its build, and schools and retail to be planned rather than open when you move in.

Amenities and specifications

DAMAC describes Antigua's homes as built around space, natural ventilation and sustainable materials, with private outdoor areas for every unit. The mix is four and five-bedroom townhouses and five-bedroom twin villas - semi-detached homes that give more privacy than a townhouse row for less than a detached villa. The sources do not publish a finish schedule or appliance list.

Shared DAMAC Islands 2 amenities include lakes, eco parks, a solar park with charging points, zen gardens, waterfalls, trails, orchard fields, hydrotherapy zones, salt-water pools, a spa, a zipline park, a canopy walk, a treehouse park and an observation deck. Not published: unit and plot sizes, parking and the service-charge budget. Final specification as per the SPA.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties, founded in 2002 by Hussain Sajwani, said in September 2026 that it had handed over more than 50,000 homes, with over 55,000 in its pipeline and USD 2.72 billion of construction contracts awarded in the first half of 2026. Of about 8,800 handovers targeted for 2026, roughly 6,300 are at DAMAC Lagoons, against about 513 there in 2025.

Santorini, the first Lagoons cluster, began handover in November 2025, about a quarter after target. Company-wide, a 2026 review of DLD data puts DAMAC's average delay at six to twelve months beyond the SPA date. DAMAC Islands 2's first release sold AED 11 billion in five hours and the Bahamas cluster booked nearly 400 units within minutes, so demand for the community is proven; Antigua's risk is timing, not whether it gets built.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. DAMAC Islands 2 is freehold for foreign buyers and the DLD issues the title deed in your name. There is no annual property tax and no VAT on a residential sale; the government cost is the 4% DLD transfer fee, AED 119,600 at AED 2.99 million.

Remittance. The LRS allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year. AED 2.99 million is about USD 814,000. The booking plus DLD fee, about USD 114,000, fits one person's allowance. The 65% construction share, about USD 529,000, is more than a couple's USD 500,000 in a single year, so check DAMAC's instalment dates against your financial years before you book.

Golden Visa. Every Antigua unit is above the AED 2 million threshold, by about AED 990,000 on the entry townhouse.

Rent and tax. No rent is on record. One 2026 guide puts ready DAMAC Lagoons units at AED 100,000 to 180,000 a year, which on AED 2.99 million is about 3.3% to 6% gross. Antigua's lower entry price gives it the best yield maths of the three clusters on this page, but it is still a long hold. Rent is untaxed in the UAE and taxable in India, where the asset goes in Schedule FA.

Pros

• The lowest four-bedroom entry we found in DAMAC Islands 2, about AED 2.99 M
• A 10% booking instead of 20% - about AED 299,000 to secure a unit
• DAMAC publishes the price and plan in its own guide, not just brokers
• Every unit clears the AED 2 M Golden Visa line
• Twin villas give a semi-detached option between townhouse and villa
• DAMAC has delivered lagoon-community homes before, at Santorini in DAMAC Lagoons

Cons

• Antigua's own unit sizes are not published, so the price per sq ft cannot be confirmed
• 65% during construction is heavier than the 55% in the first-release clusters
• Two handover dates in print, June 2030 and Q4 2030, plus DAMAC's six to twelve-month record
• No DLD project number, escrow bank or unit count published
• No service charge published for a community with lakes, pools and parks
• Last to launch means last in the build queue, and resale competes with seven earlier clusters

Who this is for

• Buyers who want into DAMAC Islands 2 at the lowest published four-bedroom price
• Buyers with a smaller booking budget who can carry heavy construction instalments
• Golden Visa buyers funding one purchase above AED 2 M
• Families who can wait until 2031 for keys

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs keys or rent before 2031
• Buyers who will not book without a floor plan and a size in the SPA
• Buyers who prefer a lighter construction-stage load - Bermuda and Tahiti ask 55%
• Commuters who need the metro

Our verdict

Antigua is the cheapest way into DAMAC Islands 2 that we could price: about AED 2.99 million for a four-bedroom townhouse, against AED 3,329,000 in Bermuda and Tahiti, with DAMAC printing the figure in its own guide. The 10% booking makes it easier to secure, but the 65% construction share means the money is due sooner after that, and three-quarters of the price is still paid before keys. What is missing is basic: no unit size, no DLD number, no service charge. As the last cluster launched, it will also be among the last delivered, and the two handover dates in print already differ by six months. Bought at the launch level, it is the value pick of the community; bought at a resale premium, much of that edge goes.

The value entry to DAMAC Islands 2 for a family or Golden Visa buyer who can wait until 2031. Get the floor plan and size into the SPA, confirm the DLD number and escrow account, and budget the construction instalments carefully - 65% is a lot to fund off-plan.

FAQs

What is the price of Antigua at DAMAC Islands 2?

DAMAC's own guide lists four-bedroom townhouses from AED 2.99 M (about Rs 7.70 crore); five-bedroom townhouses are quoted from about AED 3.49 M (about Rs 8.99 crore). One broker page prints AED 2.85 M as the launch figure for Antigua and Mauritius. DAMAC's price list on the day settles it.

What is the payment plan?

10% on booking, 65% during construction and 25% at handover. On AED 2,990,000 that is AED 299,000, AED 1,943,500 and AED 747,500, plus AED 119,600 of DLD fee.

When is the handover?

By 30 June 2030 on most pages; some print Q4 2030. DAMAC's average delay is six to twelve months, so plan for 2031 and fix the date in your SPA.

How is Antigua different from Bermuda and Tahiti?

Antigua launched on 28 February 2026, the last of the eight clusters; Bermuda and Tahiti launched on 12 November 2025. Antigua's four-bedroom starts about AED 339,000 lower, the booking is 10% instead of 20%, the construction share is 65% instead of 55%, and it offers 5 BHK twin villas rather than detached villas.

What size are Antigua's townhouses?

The sources checked do not publish Antigua's sizes. Four-bedroom townhouses in Bermuda and Tahiti are about 2,186 sq ft; if Antigua's plan is the same, AED 2.99 M is about AED 1,368 per sq ft. Ask DAMAC for the floor plan before booking.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Yes. The threshold is AED 2 million of property, and every Antigua unit is priced above it.

What is the DLD project number?

Not published by the sources checked. Ask DAMAC for Antigua's DLD project number and escrow account and verify them on the Dubai REST app before paying.

Can an Indian resident buy here?

Yes, it is freehold for foreign buyers. AED 2.99 M is about USD 814,000. The 10% booking, about USD 81,000, fits one person's USD 250,000 LRS allowance; the rest needs a couple's allowance over two or more financial years.
