DAMAC Hills The Trump Estates Dubai

The Trump Estates is the golf-front villa collection inside DAMAC Hills, the 42 million sq ft gated community DAMAC Properties launched in Dubailand in 2012. The villas sit on the fairways of the Trump International Golf Club Dubai, the 18-hole championship course designed by Gil Hanse, and they run from about 2,500 sq ft to 12,500 sq ft.

Four-bedroom villas start at AED 3,800,000, about Rs 9.79 crore, with the adjoining Trump Estate Park Residences quoted from AED 2.9 million and the Beverly Hills Drive seven-bedrooms from AED 13.361 million for 7,284 sq ft. Handover on the most recent phase was Q4 2024. The source listing for this project carries no price.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

Four figures are on record for this collection and they describe different products inside it rather than contradicting each other:

The rate column is consistent in a way that is unusual for a Dubai page. The AED 1,160 quoted floor, the AED 1,520 implied by a four-bedroom at AED 3.8 million on 2,500 sq ft, and the AED 1,834 on the Beverly Hills Drive seven-bedroom all sit inside the DAMAC Hills range of AED 1,060 median to AED 1,600 to 1,700 on 2026 indicators. Nothing is priced outside its own community, and the golf frontage sits at the top of it.

What the sources do not give is a size against the AED 2.9 million Park Residences figure. On a villa the plot and the built-up area are separate numbers and both matter — one listing here shows a 7,862 sq ft build-up on a 6,539 sq ft plot. Get both off the title deed before agreeing a rate with anyone.

What the community has done to prices

DAMAC Hills has a measurable appreciation record, which is rarer than it should be in Dubai marketing. Buyers who bought off-plan in the community in 2022 and 2023 at around AED 2.2 million are reported to be looking at valuations of AED 3.0 to 3.5 million — a rise of 40% to 55% in under three years.

Set against that, DLD-derived data recorded about 1,842 sales in the community over twelve months at a median near AED 1.31 million. That median sits well below anything in Trump Estates, so the volume is in the apartments and smaller townhouses. The community is liquid; your price band is not the reason why.

Cost to own

The most recent phase handed over in Q4 2024, so a purchase here is a resale settling at transfer. On the AED 3,800,000 four-bedroom:

The service charge is the one genuinely good piece of news at this price. Dubai villa charges run about AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year against AED 10 to 30 for apartments, so a 2,500 sq ft villa here costs roughly what a 500 sq ft Business Bay studio does to run. No source publishes this collection's approved budget, so get it in writing — but the band is narrow enough to plan around.

Total to own is about USD 1.10 million. On income, DAMAC Hills is quoted at around 7.7% rental yield, but that figure comes from the community's apartments; villa yields across the DAMAC Hills communities are quoted at 4.47% to 7.2%, and golf-front villas at this price sit at the bottom of any villa band. Buy this for the house, not the yield.

Location and connectivity

DAMAC Hills sits along Al Qudra Road (D63) in Dubailand, an inland gated community of about 42 million sq ft, launched in 2012 and now home to more than 26,000 residents across 33 sub-communities.

The community holds 3,386 or more villas and townhouses alongside 7,128 apartments, plus the Malibu Bay wave pool, an equestrian centre, a 2,000 sq m skate park and a central park — an unusually complete amenity set for Dubailand, and the reason DAMAC Hills holds a premium over its inland neighbours.

The golf course is the specific thing you are buying here. Very few UAE communities let an owner walk out of the front door onto a championship course, and that scarcity separates a Trump Estates villa from an equivalent house two streets away inside the same gates. Confirm the plot's relationship to the fairway before paying for it — "in Trump Estates" and "on the fairway" are not the same address.

Amenities and specifications

The villas are the specification. Sizes run from about 2,500 sq ft to 12,500 sq ft, which is a fivefold spread inside one collection, and the sub-brands within it — Trump Estate Park Residences, Bel Air at The Trump Estates, Trump PRVT and the Beverly Hills Drive villas — are different products at different prices rather than variations on one house.

Establish which sub-collection you are being shown before anything else: the AED 2.9 million Park Residences figure and the AED 13.361 million Beverly Hills Drive figure are both accurate and both describe Trump Estates. Everything specified is final as per the title deed.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties is the largest private developer in the UAE and the Middle East, with 50,000 homes handed over, more than 54,000 units under construction and 55,000-plus in the pipeline.

In 2026 it handed over 8,800 residential units across Dubai — at DAMAC Hills, DAMAC Hills 2, DAMAC Lagoons, Chic Tower and Elegance Tower — and awarded more than AED 10 billion of construction contracts in the first half of the year.

On a completed villa the delivery record matters less than the fact that the developer still runs the master community: DAMAC controls the amenities, the golf club relationship and much of what happens on the remaining plots inside the gates. That is worth more to an owner here than any construction statistic.

For Indian buyers

DAMAC Hills is freehold, so an Indian citizen can own here outright with a Dubai Land Department title deed, and there is no annual property tax in Dubai. The recurring cost is the service charge, roughly AED 5,000 to 15,000 a year on a 2,500 sq ft villa.

Funding is the constraint. Total to own at the AED 3.8 million four-bedroom is about USD 1.10 million — more than four times one person's Liberalised Remittance Scheme allowance of USD 250,000 for a financial year, and more than double a couple's combined USD 500,000. Plan for multiple remitters, multiple years or a UAE mortgage before you offer. Your bank will want the sale agreement and the DLD trustee details, and TCS applies above the current threshold.

On residency, every villa in this collection clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold with room to spare. On tax at home, Dubai rent is taxable in India for a resident at slab rates as income from house property with the standard 30% deduction, and the asset is reported in Schedule FA. The UAE takes nothing, so there is no foreign tax credit — and on a golf villa bought for use rather than income, the tax question mostly disappears.

Pros

• Villas on the fairways of an 18-hole championship course designed by Gil Hanse — genuinely rare in the UAE
• Every published figure implies AED 1,160 to 1,834 per sq ft, inside the community's own AED 1,060 to 1,700 range
• Villa service charges of about AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year, against AED 10 to 30 for apartments
• DAMAC Hills buyers from 2022 and 2023 at about AED 2.2 million report valuations of AED 3.0 to 3.5 million
• Every villa here clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold comfortably
• DAMAC has handed over 50,000 homes and still runs the master community

Cons

• Sizes span 2,500 to 12,500 sq ft in one collection, so the name tells you almost nothing about the house
• No size is published against the AED 2.9 million figure at all
• The community's median transaction is about AED 1.31 million, far below this band — a thinner exit pool
• No service charge is published for this collection specifically
• No DLD or RERA project number is printed by any source we checked
• Total to own of about USD 1.10 million is more than four annual LRS allowances
• Yields here sit at the bottom of any villa band — this is not an income purchase

Who this is for

• Golfers and families who want to live on a championship course rather than near one
• Golden Visa buyers at the AED 3 million-plus level
• Owners funding across multiple remitters, multiple years or a UAE mortgage

Who should look elsewhere

• Yield investors — the community's 7.7% figure is an apartment number, not a villa one
• Buyers working inside one or two LRS allowances
• Anyone who needs a quick exit at this price band
• Buyers who will not confirm the plot's relationship to the fairway

Our verdict

The Trump Estates is the clearest product in this batch: golf-front villas inside a mature, amenity-rich gated community, priced inside their own community's rate band rather than above it. The AED 1,160 to 1,834 per sq ft the published figures imply lines up with DAMAC Hills' AED 1,060 median and its AED 1,600 to 1,700 2026 indicators, the appreciation record is real and documented, and villa service charges of AED 2 to 6 per sq ft make the holding cost trivial next to an apartment.

Two things to be disciplined about. Establish which sub-collection and which plot: AED 2.9 million and AED 13.361 million are both real Trump Estates prices, the size range spans fivefold, and fairway frontage is the whole premium — get the built-up area, the plot area and the golf-course relationship on paper. And be honest about the exit: the community's median transaction is AED 1.31 million, so the deep liquidity is in the apartments. Buy this to live in and the numbers work; buy it to flip and you are relying on a much shallower pool.

FAQs

What does a villa at The Trump Estates cost?

Four-bedroom villas start at AED 3,800,000, about Rs 9.79 crore. The adjoining Trump Estate Park Residences are quoted from AED 2.9 million, and the Beverly Hills Drive seven-bedrooms from AED 13.361 million for 7,284 sq ft, which is about AED 1,834 per sq ft. A floor rate of about AED 12,488 per sq m, roughly AED 1,160 per sq ft, is also published.

How big are the villas?

About 2,500 sq ft to 12,500 sq ft, or 232 to 1,161 sq m - a fivefold spread inside one collection. Built-up area and plot area are separate numbers on a villa: one listing here shows a 7,862 sq ft build-up on a 6,539 sq ft plot. Get both from the title deed.

Are they really on the golf course?

The collection is described as sitting amid the fairways of Trump International Golf Club Dubai, an 18-hole championship course designed by Gil Hanse. But being in Trump Estates and being on the fairway are not the same thing - confirm the specific plot's relationship to the course before paying a frontage premium.

Is it finished?

Yes. Handover on the most recent phase was Q4 2024, and villas here trade on the resale market. Ask for the seller's title deed, the no-objection certificate and the unit record on the Dubai REST app.

What are the service charges?

Not published for this collection. Dubai villa service charges run about AED 2 to 6 per sq ft a year, against AED 10 to 30 for apartments, so a 2,500 sq ft villa here costs roughly AED 5,000 to 15,000 a year to run. Get the RERA-approved budget in writing, but the band is narrow enough to plan around.

Has DAMAC Hills appreciated?

On the record available, yes. Buyers who bought off-plan in the community in 2022 and 2023 at around AED 2.2 million report valuations of AED 3.0 to 3.5 million, a rise of 40% to 55% in under three years. DLD-derived data shows about 1,842 sales over twelve months at a median near AED 1.31 million.

What yield does it pay?

DAMAC Hills is quoted at around 7.7%, but that figure comes from the community's apartments. Villa yields across the DAMAC Hills communities are quoted from 4.47% to 7.2%, and golf-front villas at this price sit at the bottom of any villa band. This is a house to live in, not an income asset.

Can an Indian citizen buy here, and does it give a Golden Visa?

Yes to both. DAMAC Hills is freehold, so any nationality can own outright with a DLD title deed, and every villa in this collection clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold comfortably. The constraint is funding: total to own at AED 3.8 million is about USD 1.10 million, more than four times one person's USD 250,000 LRS allowance, so plan for multiple remitters, multiple years or a UAE mortgage.

Who is the developer?

DAMAC Properties, the largest private developer in the UAE and the Middle East, with 50,000 homes handed over, more than 54,000 units under construction and 55,000-plus in the pipeline. In 2026 it handed over 8,800 residential units across Dubai, including at DAMAC Hills, and awarded more than AED 10 billion of construction contracts in the first half of the year.
