Damac Hills 2

Damac Hills 2 (formerly known as Akoya Oxygen) is a large master-planned community developed by DAMAC Properties. It’s located in Dubailand, near Al Qudra Road and Lehbab Road. Because of its location, it offers a more peaceful, suburban lifestyle, away from the densest parts of Dubai, but still reasonably accessible to central hubs.

Damac Hills 2 is a well-rounded, master-planned community that blends active, family-friendly living with a relaxed, green environment. Its themed districts (water, motor, sports, etc.) make it more than just a residential area — it’s a lifestyle destination. While there are trade-offs in terms of distance from central Dubai and some resident-reported issues, for many people, the pros (space, amenities, value) outweigh the cons.

Types of Homes & Size

• The community is very large — DAMAC notes that it spans 55 million square feet.
• It offers a variety of residential options: villas, townhouses, and apartments.
• According to DAMAC, there are: about 14,044 villas/townhouses and 2,120+ apartments planned.

Community Design & Themed Districts

One of the standout features of Damac Hills 2 is how it’s organized into themed “towns,” each focused on a particular lifestyle. These include:

• Water Town — water-based leisure, beach vibes, wave pool, lazy river.
• Sports Town — sports fields, active recreation.
• Motor Town — a go-kart circuit, motorsport-themed zone.
• Equestrian Town — for horse lovers, green spaces etc.
• Down Town — more relaxed, possibly wellness-oriented or central community gathering area.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Damac Hills 2 is designed to be much more than just a residential area — it’s a lifestyle community. Key amenities include:

• Malibu Beach — a beach-style area within the community.
• Lazy River — for relaxing water rides.
• Floating Cinema — outdoor cinema on the water.
• Sports fields — various sports zones.
• Zen Garden — peaceful green space.

Residential Clusters / Sub-Communities

Damac Hills 2 is divided into several clusters/neighborhoods, each with its own character and type of housing. Examples: Amazonia, Avencia, Juniper, Vardon, Albizia, and more.

• These clusters often come with shared amenities like pools, playgrounds, and landscaped areas.
• Some villas have private gardens, rooftop terraces, or green lounge areas.

Who Is It Good For?

• Families: Especially those who want more space, green areas, and kid-friendly amenities.
• Investors: Because of relatively affordable entry points (for Dubai) and good potential rental returns.
• Professionals WFH: For remote workers, the quieter, suburban lifestyle may be appealing (though commuting to central areas for work could be less ideal).
