DAMAC Hills is a large DAMAC-built villa and apartment community in Dubailand, arranged around the Trump International Golf Club. This DAMAC Hills guide is for families who want a house with a garden, golf lovers, and buyers or tenants who accept a drive to anywhere central in return for space. It covers the layout, the clusters, rents and prices by home size, getting around, schools, daily life and the downsides, and it separates DAMAC Hills from its bigger neighbour, DAMAC Hills 2.
DAMAC Hills sits in Dubailand, Dubai's large inland development zone. dubizzle's area overview (read October 2026) says the community lines Al Qudra Road and covers about 42 million sq ft. It was marketed for years as Akoya by DAMAC, and dubizzle divides it into three parts: Akoya Park, Akoya Drive and the Trump International Golf Club area.
The golf course is the reason the community has an identity of its own. Trump International Golf Club Dubai was designed by Gil Hanse and opened in 2017. It is owned by DAMAC and run in partnership with the Trump Organization, and the back nine holes were floodlit in 2023 (Wikipedia, read October 2026). The course measures 7,205 yards.
The community is organised in named clusters, not numbered districts. The ones people search for most are:
Search interest is spread across many cluster names, including Rockwood, Rochester, Trinity, Pelham, Topanga, Queens Meadow, Brookfield, Whitefield and The Field. Treat the cluster as the first thing to check, because plot size, build age and distance from the course change from one to the next.
These are two different communities with the same developer. DAMAC Hills is the original, built around the Trump golf course. DAMAC Hills 2, formerly Akoya Oxygen, is a separate and larger development with different stock and lower prices. People who want to be exact now search for "DAMAC Hills 1". Bayut's 2026 reports class DAMAC Hills as mid-tier villas and DAMAC Hills 2 as affordable villas, and the gap shows in the figures below. Our page for DAMAC Hills 2 covers the second community, with its own townhouses for sale and townhouses to rent pages.
The mix is villas and townhouses on the outer ring and apartments near the course. Facts here are limited to what the sources state, so check each building page for layouts.
| Cluster or building | Type | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Golf Town | Apartments and townhouses | Closest to the golf course and clubhouse |
| Golf Greens | Apartments | Overlooks the fairways |
| Golf Vita and Golf Vista | Apartments | Searched by name, with a high search volume for "golf vita damac hills" |
| Rockwood | Villas | One of the most searched villa clusters; listed by dubizzle among rental villa areas |
| Belair | Villas | Sold under the Trump Estates name |
| Trinity, Pelham, Rochester, Richmond, Veneto | Villas and townhouses | Named clusters of different plot sizes and ages |
| Loreto and Artesia | Apartments | Named by dubizzle as apartment sub-communities |
For flats, use our DAMAC Hills apartments for sale page or the studio search. Bayut and dubizzle publish no apartment rent figures for DAMAC Hills, so the tables below are for villas.
The figures use the Bayut Dubai Rental Market Report H1 2026 (updated 14 October 2026) and the Bayut Dubai Sales Market Report H1 2026 (updated 15 October 2026). Both state that they show advertised prices, not completed deals. Rents are annual.
| Villa size | Average advertised annual rent, Bayut H1 2026 | Average advertised sale price, Bayut H1 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| 3 bedrooms | AED 211,000 | AED 3,844,000 |
| 4 bedrooms | AED 230,000 | AED 4,149,000 |
| 5 bedrooms | AED 404,000 | AED 8,825,000 |
Bayut shows about AED 1,876 per sq ft for DAMAC Hills villas, up 4.99% over H1 2026, and an average advertised value of AED 5,375,973. It describes DAMAC Hills rents as stable. dubizzle's H1 2026 rental report puts the average villa rent at AED 262,000, a 2.24% decline, with the same 3, 4 and 5 bedroom figures. The two reports agree on the size bands, so use them as a range and not a quote.
DAMAC Hills 2 is much cheaper on the same Bayut data:
| Villa size | DAMAC Hills 2 annual rent, Bayut H1 2026 | DAMAC Hills 2 sale price, Bayut H1 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| 3 bedrooms | AED 112,000 | AED 1,834,000 |
| 4 bedrooms | AED 124,000 | AED 2,147,000 |
| 5 bedrooms | AED 149,000 | AED 2,711,000 |
Prices are for averages across the whole community. A golf course plot, a corner plot or a renovated villa will sit above them, and a smaller cluster home will sit below. To learn what a specific home is worth, ask us for a comparison based on recent transfers. Our guide to how much your Dubai property is worth explains the method.
| Home | Who it suits | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Apartment near the course | Singles, couples and golfers who want a lower entry point | Floor, view of the fairway, building age and parking |
| 3 bedroom villa or townhouse | Young families | Cluster, plot size, whether the garden is private and the state of the fit out |
| 4 bedroom villa | Growing families | Position in the cluster, backing onto a road or open space, upgrades |
| 5 bedroom and larger villa | Large households and buyers who want a golf outlook | Course frontage, plot size and finish, which is why the average jumps sharply at this size |
When you view homes, walk the street at different times of day. Check noise from the road, where the sun sits in the garden and how close the nearest play area is. These small points decide how a family lives in a villa day to day, and they are the reason two similar houses can differ by hundreds of thousands of dirhams on the same Bayut size band.
Service charges here vary by cluster, building type and whether the community amenities are included. We do not quote a figure, because no dated source we could open lists DAMAC Hills charges. Check the Dubai Land Department service charge index for the exact building or community, and ask the seller or landlord for the latest invoice. Our guides explain how to check service charges before you buy and the Dubai service charge index.
There is no metro station in DAMAC Hills. dubizzle says RTA buses serve the area and that residents can pay with a Nol card, but most households run cars. Al Qudra Road runs along the community and links it to the rest of Dubai's inland road network. Distances to central Dubai are long by Dubai standards, so test the drive at the time you would actually travel before you commit. The RTA site has the current bus routes and journey planner.
dubizzle names Jebel Ali School and Blossom Mudon Nursery as options for families, and notes there are others. Bayut says Jebel Ali School follows the British curriculum. Do not rely on a guide for ratings: the KHDA publishes the current inspection result and fees for every Dubai school. Families usually look at several schools across neighbouring communities, so ask your agent which school runs a bus to your cluster. For healthcare, the Dubai Health Authority lists licensed facilities, and you should check the distance to the nearest clinic and hospital before you sign.
The golf club is the anchor, with an 18 hole course, a clubhouse and dining. dubizzle also lists DAMAC Hills Park, the DAMAC Hills Pet Farm, a Radisson hotel and a small supermarket, plus cafes and restaurants inside the community. The feel is suburban: wide roads, villas and gated clusters. Daily errands for most residents combine the community's own shops with trips to malls elsewhere in Dubai. In summer the heat and the drive make a car close to essential.
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Real houses with gardens, from townhouses to large golf villas | No metro station; you need a car |
| A championship golf course and clubhouse inside the community | Long drives to central Dubai, especially at peak hours |
| Clear price ladder: DAMAC Hills 2 is cheaper, golf plots cost more | Cluster, plot and build age make prices uneven; averages mislead |
| Quiet, low rise, family feel | Not much walkable shopping; malls are a drive away |
| Many comparable villas, so choice is wide | Service charges differ by cluster and are a real annual cost |

On ownership, we could not find DAMAC Hills named in the Dubai Land Department designated freehold list we opened, so confirm the title deed type before you pay a deposit. The DLD property status enquiry shows whether a plot is freehold. Transfer costs are covered in our Dubai Land Department fees 2026 guide, and the full process is in buying a villa in Dubai.
Before you buy or rent, check:
No. DAMAC Hills 2, formerly Akoya Oxygen, is a separate and larger DAMAC community with its own stock. Bayut's 2026 reports show much lower rents and prices there. People who search for "DAMAC Hills 1" mean the original community described on this page.
