Properties in Damac Lagoons

DAMAC says DAMAC Lagoons is located along Hessa Street, opposite DAMAC Hills, with connections to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, Emirates Road and Al Khail Road. DAMAC's project pages describe it as close to the charm of DAMAC Hills yet hidden away from the bustle, and as within minutes of Motor City, Sports City and Global Village. Our DAMAC Hills guide covers the neighbouring community.

DAMAC's project pages give these drive times from the community: about 20 to 28 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport once it is operating, and about 30 to 33 minutes to Dubai International Airport. The figures differ slightly from one project page to the next, so treat them as DAMAC's estimates and test the drive at the hour you would travel.

The lagoons and the themed clusters. Each cluster is styled on a Mediterranean place, with its own architecture and its own set of attractions. DAMAC lists these community features:

• Beach and wave pool. White sandy beaches and a wave simulator for surfing.
• Waterfall and clubhouse. A waterfall and a clubhouse by the water.
• Floating amphitheatre. An open-air cinema over the water.
• Restaurants and cafes. Al-fresco dining and beachfront cafes.
• Water sports and outdoor activity. DAMAC lists kayaking, paddle surfing, ziplining and climbing as planned experiences.

DAMAC states that attractions are spread across the clusters and that availability depends on the stage of completion, so ask which features are open for the cluster you are considering.

People search the cluster names more than the community name. DAMAC's community page lists the clusters below. Home types are as DAMAC states them on each project page.

Clusters with their own page on our site

• Santorini. Three, four and five bedroom townhouses and six bedroom villas with white-washed facades and blue accents. DAMAC calls it the central hub of the community and lists a fitness and wellness zone, climbing wall, nature pond, clubhouse and floating cinema as planned attractions.
• Costa Brava. Spanish-inspired townhouses and villas with features such as rooftop access and garden water features. DAMAC describes the cluster as adventure-focused.
• Malta. Four and five bedroom townhouses in a limestone-inspired style. DAMAC lists a VR park, a building blocks pavilion and a floating flower market, with a sensory plaza, discovery maze and camping island for children.

• Morocco. Villas and townhouses inspired by Moroccan art and architecture. Phase 2 is listed by DAMAC as off-plan, with lagoon-facing infinity pools, yoga and meditation lawns and family cabanas among the planned experiences.

Some visitors search for an Andalucia cluster. DAMAC's current community page does not list a cluster under that name, so if you have seen it advertised, ask the seller for the exact project name and the developer's launch details before you commit.

DAMAC offers three kinds of home here:

• Townhouses. The core of the community. DAMAC shows three to five bedrooms depending on the cluster, with four and five bedroom layouts in most.
• Villas. Six and seven bedroom villas in clusters such as Venice, Nice, Santorini and Portofino.
• Apartments. Studios, one and two bedroom apartments in Lagoon Views, Sorrento and Valencia.

Layouts and availability vary by project and cluster. For a family-sized home, townhouses with four or five bedrooms are the type people ask about most. Our guide to buying a townhouse in Dubai explains what to check on plot position and size.

Several of the Lagoons townhouses are already let and some owners rent them out on annual contracts. Browse townhouses for rent in Damac Lagoons or narrow by size:

Rents depend on the cluster, whether the unit is a corner or single-row home, plot size, furnishing and whether the home faces the lagoon or a road. Read the listing for these details. For the paperwork, see our guides to Ejari and tenancy contracts and renting in Dubai.

DAMAC names Jebel Ali School in DAMAC Hills, about 5 minutes away, and rates it KHDA "very good" on its pages. Other schools it lists nearby are GEMS Metropole School in Motor City and Royal Grammar School Guildford (about 5 to 8 minutes), Fairgreen International School (8 to 11 minutes), Safa Community School (10 to 12 minutes) and Global Indian International School (16 minutes).

For days out, DAMAC names Dubai Polo and Equestrian Club, Dubai Autodrome, Dubai Miracle Garden and Global Village. The Radisson Dubai in DAMAC Hills is the closest hotel.

You will need a car. The community is reached by Hessa Street and the highways listed above, and DAMAC's pages give no metro station. Check the RTA website for current bus routes and the Nol card.

All three are DAMAC communities in Dubailand, and the names are easy to mix up. DAMAC describes DAMAC Lagoons as 49 million sq ft with 8,883 villas and townhouses and 4,800 apartments, built around lagoons and Mediterranean-themed clusters. DAMAC Hills is 42 million sq ft with 3,386 villas and townhouses and 7,128 apartments, built around the Trump International Golf Club Dubai. DAMAC Hills 2 is 55 million sq ft with 14,044 villas and townhouses and 2,120 apartments.

In short, Lagoons is the water and themed-cluster community, Hills is the golf community, and Hills 2 is the largest and mostly villas and townhouses. Lagoons residents can use the DAMAC Hills community features, according to DAMAC. See our DAMAC Hills and DAMAC Hills 2 pages, and our guide on how to compare two Dubai communities.

• Families. Four and five bedroom townhouses, play areas, bike trails and schools within about ten minutes.
• Buyers who want a themed community. The cluster choice lets you pick a style, from white-washed Santorini to Moroccan or Spanish designs.
• Tenants who want space. Townhouses rent here with up to five bedrooms.

Things to weigh: it is a car-dependent community, many clusters are still being built so construction continues nearby, and the planned attractions open in stages. Our DAMAC Lagoons area guide has more background.
