Violet DAMAC Hills 2 Dubai

Violet is a cluster of four-bedroom townhouses by DAMAC Properties in DAMAC Hills 2, the Dubailand community once called Akoya Oxygen. This page covers the first Violet release, which opened for booking on 23 October 2023: townhouses of about 2,352 sq ft (middle) or 2,415 sq ft (corner), from AED 1,869,000 (about Rs 4.81 crore). Later releases, Violet Phase 3 and Violet 4, sell the same layout at higher prices and later dates.

The first release was sold with handover in Q2 2026, and one portal gives 1 June 2026. That date has passed, and no source we checked confirms keys. A portal tracker now lists the Violet phases with dates from Q4 2026 to Q3 2027. The rest of this page is about what that means for the price, the 30% due at handover and the checks to make before paying anyone.

At a glance

Price and unit pricing

We print AED 1,869,000 because it is the starting price on the main portal's project page for this release, and it matches DAMAC's own launch post of AED 1.87 million. The source listing shows no price. With the release sold with a 2026 date, DAMAC may have little stock left at that level, and a resale seller will want a premium; DAMAC's statement of account and the seller's paid-to-date figure settle what you actually pay.

The Violet phases are the same four-bedroom townhouse at different dates. Violet Phase 3 costs AED 42,000 more and Violet 4 Phase II AED 91,000 more than this release, about 2% and 5%. That is the premium for joining later, not for a bigger home.

Against the rest of DAMAC Hills 2

The layout is the community's standard four-bedroom: Verona sells 2,352 to 2,415 sq ft townhouses from AED 1,829,000, and Natura from AED 1,830,000, both with 2026 dates. Violet is about AED 40,000 dearer than either. The community's median sale price is about AED 1,650,000 on 2026 data, which includes older and smaller homes.

Payment plan and total cost

Most sources quote 70/30: 20% on booking, 50% during construction and 30% at handover. Others print 20/60/20 or 60/40, and DAMAC has sold later Violet phases on different splits. The SPA names the plan that applies to your unit; the worked example uses 70/30.

The handover date has passed

The first release was sold with a Q2 2026 date, and 1 June 2026 appears on one portal. A portal tracker now lists four Violet phases: Violet 1 at 13% built for Q3 2027, Violet 2 for Q1 2027, Violet 3 for Q4 2026 and Violet 4 for Q1 2027, the last three marked sold out. None matches June 2026, and the sources do not say which phase a first-release unit belongs to.

The benign reading is that the listing dates are out of step with the phases DAMAC registered, and DAMAC is handing over more than 1,500 villas in DAMAC Hills 2 in 2026, so the community is moving. The cautious reading is that some units are a year or more away. Before paying, ask DAMAC for your unit's phase, its DLD completion date and progress, and the escrow record. Do not pay the AED 560,700 due at handover under 70/30 until the completion certificate is issued.

Buying on resale. An off-plan resale works as an assignment: you pay the seller what they have paid DAMAC plus their premium, take over the remaining instalments, and pay the 4% DLD fee on the full resale price. Get DAMAC's statement of account before paying the seller anything.

Location and connectivity

DAMAC Hills 2 lies well out along Al Qudra Road (D63) in Dubailand, past the original DAMAC Hills and Arabian Ranches III. Quoted drive times are about 20 minutes to Dubai Outlet Mall, 25 to Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure, 35 to Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) and 35 to 45 minutes to Downtown Dubai and Business Bay, depending on the hour. There is no Dubai Metro station, so every trip is by car.

The community is organised around themed zones DAMAC calls Water Town, Down Town and Sports Town, with the Malibu Beach wave pool at the centre. It is filling fast: DAMAC scheduled more than 1,500 villas here for handover in 2026, and new clusters are still going up around the finished ones. Expect construction traffic for a while and a steady supply of similar four-bedroom homes coming to the rental market.

Amenities and specifications

Each Violet townhouse has four bedrooms, a study, a patio and a private garden, a garage, a balcony, a laundry room and a rooftop terrace. The two sizes are the middle unit at about 2,352 sq ft and the corner at about 2,415 sq ft. Plot sizes are not published, and on a townhouse they decide how much outdoor space you own, so ask for the plot area on the SPA.

Community amenities listed for Violet buyers include the Malibu Beach wave pool, a splash pad and slides, a lazy river, a Zen garden, a green zone and hedge maze, a jungle gym, a fishing lake, a petting farm, a dog park and an outdoor cinema. The golf course, equestrian centre and Malibu Bay belong to the original DAMAC Hills, a separate community with its own gates.

About the developer

DAMAC Properties, founded by Hussain Sajwani in 2002, is the UAE's largest private developer. It reports more than 50,000 homes handed over and a pipeline above 55,000, awarded USD 2.72 billion of construction contracts in the first half of 2026, and is handing over 8,800 homes in Dubai in 2026: about 6,300 at DAMAC Lagoons, more than 1,500 villas at DAMAC Hills 2, and Chic Tower and Elegance Tower.

On timing, DLD data on DAMAC's 2023-2024 deliveries shows an average delay of 6 to 12 months past the SPA date, more than Emaar or Sobha. Violet has already missed its June 2026 date, and a 6 to 12 month slip would put keys in late 2026 or 2027, which matches the tracker's phase dates.

For Indian buyers

Ownership. DAMAC Hills 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 74,760 on the entry townhouse.

LRS. The Liberalised Remittance Scheme allows USD 250,000 per person per financial year, about AED 918,000. The entry townhouse with its DLD fee is about AED 1,943,760, roughly USD 529,274, a little more than a couple's combined USD 500,000 for one year. The booking and construction instalments, AED 1,308,300, fit inside it; the handover payment can fall in the next financial year. Tax collected at source applies above Rs 10 lakh a year and is credited against your Indian tax.

Golden Visa. AED 1,869,000 is AED 131,000 below the AED 2 M property threshold, so this unit alone does not qualify.

Rent, tax and exit. One portal put the starting rent for a four-bedroom townhouse in DAMAC Hills 2 at AED 80,000 a year in Q3 2024, about 4.3% gross at this price and about 3.7% after the service charge. Community-wide gross yields of 6.0% to 7.2% quoted for 2026 would need AED 112,140 to 134,568 a year; underwrite at the AED 80,000 figure. Rent is taxable in India if you are resident, and the townhouse goes in Schedule FA. At resale you compete with Verona, Natura and later Violet phases selling the same layout.

Pros

• The cheapest Violet release we found: AED 1,869,000, below Violet Phase 3 (AED 1,911,000) and Violet 4 Phase II (AED 1.96 M)
• About AED 795 per sq ft for a four-bedroom townhouse with a study, garage and rooftop terrace
• Low running costs: about AED 5 per sq ft a year in DAMAC Hills 2, around AED 11,760 on the middle unit
• A community that is filling up: more than 1,500 DAMAC Hills 2 villas are handing over in 2026
• Easy to price: Verona and Natura sell the same layout within about AED 40,000, so there are comparables to negotiate with

Cons

• The June 2026 handover date has passed with no confirmed handover, and 30% of the price is tied to it
• Phase dates on a portal run to Q3 2027, and one phase shows 13% built
• Just below the AED 2 M Golden Visa threshold, by AED 131,000
• No Metro; Downtown is 35 to 45 minutes by car
• Heavy supply of near-identical four-bedroom townhouses across Violet, Verona and Natura
• Rents quoted for the community start at about AED 80,000, a gross yield near 4.3% at this price

Who this is for

• Families who want a four-bedroom townhouse with a garden and garage for under AED 2 M
• Buyers who can wait for keys into 2027 and will check the phase's progress on the DLD record
• End users who value a low service charge and a wave pool and lazy river inside the gates

Who should look elsewhere

• Anyone who needs a firm move-in date in 2026
• Golden Visa seekers - the entry price misses AED 2 M
• Yield investors: the community's starting rent is about AED 80,000 a year
• Commuters who need the Metro or a short drive to Downtown

Our verdict

Violet is a sound family product at a fair price: a four-bedroom townhouse with a study, garage and rooftop for about AED 795 per sq ft, in a community with a low service charge. What changed is the calendar. The June 2026 handover it was sold on has passed, and a portal's phase dates now stretch to Q3 2027, with one phase at 13% built. DAMAC is handing over more than 1,500 villas in DAMAC Hills 2 this year, so the likelier story is a phase in progress rather than a stalled one, but a buyer should not pay a seller's premium on a date nobody can confirm. As an investment it is modest: the community's quoted starting rent gives about 4.3% gross at this price.

Buy Violet as a home if you want four bedrooms under AED 2 M and can wait into 2027, after DAMAC confirms your phase and its completion date in writing. Price it against Verona and Natura and against later Violet phases, which cost more for the same townhouse. If you need keys in 2026, a rent from day one or a Golden Visa from one unit, buy a finished townhouse instead.

When is the handover?

Violet was sold with a Q2 2026 date, 1 June 2026 on one portal, and that date has passed. A portal tracker lists Violet 1 at 13% built for Q3 2027, Violet 2 for Q1 2027 and Violet 3 for Q4 2026. Ask DAMAC which phase your unit is in and check the date on the Dubai REST app.

Is there a DLD project number?

Not in any source we checked. A portal lists the Violet phases as separate projects, so get the number for your phase from DAMAC and check it on the Dubai REST app.

Does it qualify for the Golden Visa?

Not at the entry price. AED 1,869,000 is AED 131,000 below the AED 2 M property threshold.

What rent can I expect?

One portal put the starting rent for a four-bedroom townhouse in DAMAC Hills 2 at AED 80,000 a year in Q3 2024, with a 6.6% average gross yield across the community. At this price, AED 80,000 is about 4.3% gross; community-wide figures of 6.0% to 7.2% would need AED 112,000 to 135,000.
