Barbados DAMAC Islands 2 Dubai

Barbados is one of the eight island-themed clusters at DAMAC Islands 2, the second DAMAC Islands community in Dubailand, launched by DAMAC Properties on 12 November 2025. It is sold in two releases, Barbados 1 and Barbados 2. Four-bedroom townhouses of about 2,186 sq ft start from AED 3,329,000 (about Rs 8.57 crore), five-bedroom townhouses of 2,829 to 3,158 sq ft from AED 3,559,000, and Barbados 2 adds five-bedroom villas from AED 4,004,000.

The plan is 20/55/25 and handover is Q2 2030. The number that matters most here is the gap between the four- and five-bedroom townhouse: only AED 230,000. That makes Barbados the cheapest five-bedroom townhouse of the two DAMAC Islands 2 clusters we cover, and the dearest four-bedroom.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The source listing shows no price. We print AED 3,329,000 because a portal reports it from DAMAC's price list for both Barbados 1 and Barbados 2, with the five-bedroom townhouse and villa figures beside it. One Barbados 2 page headlines "from AED 2.8 M" for four-bedrooms, and another quotes AED 2.75 M, which is DAMAC's launch headline for DAMAC Islands 2 as a whole. So the published range for a Barbados four-bedroom is AED 2.8 M to 3.33 M. DAMAC's price list on the day of booking settles it; if a broker quotes AED 2.8 M, ask for the unit number and the DAMAC offer letter.

The five-bedroom townhouse is the unit that stands out. At AED 3,559,000 it costs about AED 1,127 per sq ft at 3,158 sq ft and AED 1,258 at 2,829 sq ft. The four-bedroom works out at about AED 1,523 per sq ft. Paying 7% more for up to 44% more space is a trade most families should take.

Barbados against Bahamas and phase one

Bahamas launched the same day with the same plans and handover. Its four-bedroom is AED 2,994,000, AED 335,000 less than Barbados, but its five-bedroom townhouse is AED 3,664,000, AED 105,000 more. The five-bedroom villas are priced almost the same (AED 4.0 M in Bahamas 1, AED 4,004,000 here). Bahamas also offers six-bedroom villas of about 6,276 sq ft; Barbados does not. Against phase one, Bora Bora 3 launched a 2,208 sq ft four-bedroom at AED 2,296,000 with a December 2028 handover, which shows how far DAMAC lifted prices between the two phases.

Payment plan and total cost

DAMAC's plan is 20% on booking, 55% during construction and 25% at handover, with nothing after handover. The construction share is paid in instalments set out in the SPA; ask whether they run monthly or at milestones.

Worked example: the AED 3,329,000 four-bedroom townhouse

Before the Oqood charge, the four-bedroom costs about AED 3,528,740 with a broker (about Rs 9.09 crore) or AED 3,462,160 without (about Rs 8.92 crore). The five-bedroom townhouse at AED 3,559,000 needs AED 711,800 at booking, AED 1,957,450 during construction and AED 889,750 at handover, plus AED 142,360 of DLD fee - AED 46,000 more at booking than the four-bedroom.

A broker site advertises a 4% DLD fee waiver and a 4% spot discount on DAMAC Islands 2. On the four-bedroom, the waiver is worth AED 133,160. Count it only if it is in the SPA. Service charges are not published for either phase; ask DAMAC for its estimate per sq ft in writing.

Location and connectivity

DAMAC Islands 2 is next to the original DAMAC Islands in Dubailand, reached from Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road (E311) and Emirates Road (E611). Its eight clusters are Barbados, Bahamas, Bermuda, Tahiti, Maui, Antigua, Mauritius and Cuba; launch reports describe it as DAMAC's seventh master community. DAMAC Lagoons and DAMAC Hills 2 are neighbours.

Quoted drive times for the area are about 30 to 35 minutes to Downtown Dubai and 35 to 40 minutes to DXB, with DWC and Expo City to the south-west and Global Village and Dubai Outlet Mall closer. The Dubai Metro does not reach Dubailand, so plan on a car for everything.

With a 2030 handover, Barbados will arrive after phase one is lived in, so some community retail may be open by then. But all eight DAMAC Islands 2 clusters are due around the same time, and the area will still be settling for the first year or two after keys.

Amenities and specifications

Barbados is described as tropical lines with modern minimalist architecture, and its homes as spacious family layouts with private gardens and pools. The phase as a whole offers four-bedroom townhouses with maid's rooms, five-bedroom townhouses and twin villas, and six-bedroom villas, though the six-bedrooms are only in Bahamas and Bermuda. One page gives a four-bedroom size to the half foot, 2,185.5 sq ft.

Community amenities follow the DAMAC Islands formula of lagoons, beaches and pools, shared across the clusters. Appliances, parking and smart-home specifications are not published. The SPA's specification schedule is the only binding list.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties, founded in 2002, says it has delivered more than 50,000 homes and has more than 54,000 under construction. It reported AED 36 billion of sales in 2025 and 8,800 handovers in the first half of 2026. Launch reports say DAMAC Islands 2 sold AED 11 billion in five hours, one of the fastest launches Dubai has recorded.

DAMAC's nearest villa record is DAMAC Lagoons, where the first Santorini cluster units were handed over in November 2025, plus the completed DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2. Independent reviews put its average handover delay at 6 to 12 months past the SPA date, so plan for Barbados keys in late 2030 or 2031.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. DAMAC Islands 2 is freehold and open to Indian buyers; the DLD issues the title deed in your name. There is no annual property tax.

LRS. The LRS allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year, about AED 918,000. The AED 665,800 booking fits within one allowance. The AED 3.46 M total with DLD fee takes a couple about 23 months of allowance, which the four-year build allows. TCS at 20% applies above Rs 10 lakh a year and is refunded against your tax.

Golden Visa. Every unit is above the AED 2 M threshold. Confirm off-plan rules with the DLD when you apply.

Rent, tax and exit. No rent until 2030 at the earliest. After that it is taxable in India if you are resident, and the property belongs in Schedule FA. At resale you will compete with eight clusters that handed over together, which favours the better-value five-bedroom. For wider choice, see all Dubai projects we track or our projects page.

Pros

• The five-bedroom townhouse at AED 3,559,000 is AED 105,000 cheaper than the same plan in Bahamas
• For AED 230,000 more than the four-bedroom you get a fifth bedroom and up to 972 sq ft more
• A five-bedroom villa at AED 4,004,000 for buyers who want a standalone-style home
• Nothing to pay after handover
• A new launch with more choice of plot than the phase-one clusters

Cons

• The four-bedroom at about AED 1,523 per sq ft is the most expensive per foot of any cluster we cover at DAMAC Islands
• AED 335,000 more than the same four-bedroom in Bahamas
• No six-bedroom villas
• Handover Q2 2030 - about four years away
• No unit count or DLD number published
• Service charges not published; eight clusters handing over together will mean heavy resale supply

Who this is for

• Families who need five bedrooms and want the lowest five-bedroom townhouse price in DAMAC Islands 2 that we found
• Buyers who want a five-bedroom villa near AED 4 M
• Long-horizon buyers happy to wait until 2030
• Golden Visa seekers

Who should look elsewhere

• Buyers who only need four bedrooms - Bahamas sells the same plan for AED 335,000 less
• Anyone who wants six bedrooms (look at Bahamas or Bermuda)
• Anyone needing rent or keys before 2030
• Commuters who need the Dubai Metro

Our verdict

Barbados is a cluster where the unit you pick matters more than the cluster itself. The four-bedroom townhouse, at AED 3,329,000 for 2,186 sq ft, is the most expensive per foot of any DAMAC Islands cluster we cover, and Bahamas sells the same plan for AED 335,000 less. The five-bedroom townhouse turns that around: at AED 3,559,000 it costs only AED 230,000 more than the four-bedroom for up to 972 sq ft more space, and it undercuts Bahamas' five-bedroom by AED 105,000. The five-bedroom villa at about AED 4 M is priced in line with Bahamas 1. As with the rest of DAMAC Islands 2, the handover is mid-2030 and no DLD number or unit count is in print.

Buy Barbados for the five-bedroom townhouse, not the four-bedroom. If four bedrooms are enough, Bahamas is the cheaper route to the same plan and handover. Whichever you choose, get the DLD project number, the full payment schedule and any fee waiver in writing before paying the booking amount.
