Marbella Townhouses Damac Lagoons Dubai

Marbella is a cluster of 4 BHK (G+1) and 5 BHK (G+2) townhouses at DAMAC Lagoons, the swimmable-lagoon community beside DAMAC Hills in Dubailand. The source listing and Metropolitan list the 4 BHK from AED 1.9 million, about Rs 4.89 crore at Rs 25.75 per dirham, for about 2,273 sq ft, and the 5 BHK from AED 2.6 million for about 3,377 sq ft. DLD transactions in late May 2025, per Harper Wellington, show 4 BHKs actually selling at AED 2.35 to 2.5 million and 5 BHKs at AED 2.72 to 3.23 million.

That transaction data is what sets Marbella apart from the other Lagoons pages: you can see what buyers paid, which makes the AED 1.9 million a launch reference rather than an offer. The handover date on record runs from February 2026 on the source listing to Q2 2026 on Metropolitan, all now passed without public confirmation. This page prints the listed and transacted prices, the plan, the total cost, and the timing risk.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

The transacted 4 BHK price is 24 to 32% above the listed one, which is normal for a cluster that launched in 2022 and is now near handover. Community benchmarks for 2026 disagree, one guide putting Lagoons townhouses at AED 545 to 850 per sq ft and another at AED 1,150 to 1,750; Marbella's own sales at about AED 1,050 sit between them, and that is the number to use. It is still less than half of any apartment rate on this site.

Payment plan and total cost

The plan is 20% on booking, 40% in instalments during construction, 40% on handover. Near handover, most of the construction share is already due; on a resale you pay the seller their paid-up share plus premium and take over the balance with DAMAC's NOC.

Service charge guides for Lagoons range from AED 6 to 8 per sq ft to AED 14 to 18; on 2,273 sq ft that is AED 14,000 to 41,000 a year. Get the cluster rate from DAMAC in writing.

Location and connectivity

DAMAC Lagoons sits beside DAMAC Hills in Dubailand, reached from Hessa Street and Sheikh Zayed bin Hamdan Al Nahyan Street. No metro; 25 to 30 minutes by car to most of Dubai off peak.

• DAMAC Hills, Trump International Golf Club: next door
• Dubai Sports City, Motor City: about 10 to 15 minutes
• Global Village, Dubai Autodrome: nearby
• Mall of the Emirates: about 25 minutes
• Al Maktoum International Airport: about 25 to 30 minutes

What it is like: a resort-themed master community around swimmable lagoons. Santorini is occupied; Marbella, Malta, Ibiza and the rest hand over through 2026 and 2027. Expect construction traffic and partly finished amenities until then.

Amenities and specifications

All townhouses have private balconies and terraces, a carport, a garden, a patio and a laundry and storage room; 5 BHKs add a maid's quarters and a third floor. DAMAC describes Spanish-coast styling for the cluster. Appliances and flooring are not itemised; the finished Santorini townhouses are the reference. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties, founded in 2002, has handed over 50,000 homes and has more than 54,000 under construction. It announced 8,800 unit deliveries in 2026 with DAMAC Lagoons the largest component, and Lagoons handovers began with Santorini in November 2025. DLD data shows an average 6 to 12 month delay on DAMAC projects delivered in 2023-24; the neighbouring Malta cluster slipped about a year. Marbella's passed dates should be read in that light.

For overseas buyers

Any nationality. Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to buyers of every nationality, resident or not: no local partner, no residence visa needed in order to buy, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name. On the AED 1.90 million entry price the 4% Dubai Land Department transfer fee is about AED 76,000 (USD 20,700), and registration, trustee and agency charges take the all-in cost to roughly 6% to 7% over the price. UAE banks lend non-residents about 50% to 60% of the price, which is why the developer payment plan above carries most overseas purchases. The paragraphs below work the numbers for an Indian buyer, the largest single group buying in Dubai, but the ownership, visa and yield rules are the same whatever passport you hold.

Ownership. DAMAC Lagoons is freehold; an Oqood during construction and the DLD title deed, plot included, at handover.

Remitting. About AED 1.98 million all in at the listed price is roughly USD 539,000, and about USD 665,000 at the DLD low; a couple remits either across two financial years under the USD 250,000 per person per financial year LRS limit. Tax collected at source applies above the annual threshold and is creditable in your Indian return.

Golden Visa. AED 1.9 million is just under AED 2 million; a 4 BHK at the DLD prices, or any 5 BHK, qualifies.

Yield and tax. One 2026 guide puts Lagoons gross yields at 5.5 to 7%, delivered clusters at 6.5 to 8%, with ready units renting for AED 100,000 to 180,000 a year. On AED 2.35 million a 4 BHK needs about AED 141,000 for 6%. No UAE tax; in India the rent is income from house property with the 30% deduction, and the asset goes in Schedule FA.

Exit. The 2026-27 delivery wave across Lagoons means a resale in the first two years competes with thousands of similar homes. Hold five years.

Our verdict

The best-documented Lagoons cluster and, at the transacted price, fair value. Price a Marbella 4 BHK from the DLD's AED 2.35 to 2.5 million, not the AED 1.9 million (about Rs 4.89 crore) launch figure, confirm the handover status and the cluster's DLD number, and hold five years.

What is the payment plan?

20% on booking, 40% during construction and 40% on handover, per Metropolitan and the portals. If the cluster is complete or near it, most of the construction share is already due. The 4% DLD fee and the Oqood fee are extra.

When is the handover?

Q2 2026 on Metropolitan, March 2026 on another source, February 2026 on the source listing. All have passed and no source we checked confirms handover. Ask DAMAC for the completion certificate or the DLD construction percentage.

How big are the townhouses?

The 4 BHK is about 2,273 sq ft on two floors (G+1). The 5 BHK is about 3,377 to 3,469 sq ft on three floors (G+2) with a maid's room. All have a garden, patio, carport, balconies and a terrace.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

At the AED 1.9 million listed price a 4 BHK is just under the AED 2 million threshold. At the AED 2.35 million and up the DLD shows, it qualifies; every 5 BHK qualifies.

What rental yield does DAMAC Lagoons give?

One 2026 guide puts gross yields at 5.5 to 7% across the community and 6.5 to 8% for delivered clusters, with ready units renting for AED 100,000 to 180,000 a year. On a AED 2.35 million 4 BHK that needs about AED 141,000 for 6%.

What is the service charge?

Guides disagree: AED 6 to 8 per sq ft on one, AED 14 to 18 on another. On 2,273 sq ft that is AED 14,000 to 41,000 a year. Ask DAMAC for the cluster rate in writing.

Can a foreign national buy in DAMAC Lagoons?

Yes. It is freehold and the DLD issues the title deed in your name. About AED 1.98 million all in at the listed price is roughly USD 539,000, so a couple remits it across two financial years under the USD 250,000 per person LRS (the Reserve Bank of India's Liberalised Remittance Scheme) limit; at the DLD prices, about USD 665,000. Buyers of any other nationality can own on the same terms: Dubai's designated freehold areas are open to all nationalities, there is no residency requirement and no local partner, and the Land Department issues the title deed in your own name.
