There’s something undeniably magical about the islands — places where time slows, the air hums with tranquillity, and every sunrise feels like a painting. Now, imagine that same ethereal charm transported to the heart of Dubai — a city famed for turning dreams into addresses.

Enter DAMAC Islands 2, a breathtaking new master community inspired by eight of the world’s most scenic island destinations. Following the record-setting success of DAMAC Islands 1, which achieved a Guinness World Record in 2024 for selling inventory worth AED 10 billion in just 24 hours, DAMAC returns with a sequel that promises to redefine tropical luxury. Think lush landscapes, crystal lagoons, wellness-inspired architecture, and the seductive rhythm of the tropics, all woven into Dubai’s shimmering skyline.

Unveiled on 13th November 2025, DAMAC Islands 2 is the region’s seventh master community — a living canvas that celebrates sophistication, serenity, and sensory indulgence. With this launch, DAMAC Properties, the Middle East’s foremost private luxury real estate developer, invites the world to experience a new kind of waterfront living. Each of the eight inspirations — Antigua, Bahamas, Barbados, Bermuda, Cuba, Maui, Mauritius, and Tahiti — finds its expression in design, landscaping, and lifestyle. From the rhythm of the Caribbean to the calm grace of the Pacific, every villa and walkway tells a story of elegance meeting escape. TheGlitz reports…

DAMAC Divine!

DAMAC Islands 2 captures the energy of the tropics and the ambition of Dubai,” says Amira Sajwani, Managing Director of DAMAC Properties. “It is more than a place to live; it is an invitation to experience paradise in the heart of our city.” That sense of celebration and sophistication was reflected in the spectacular launch event at the Coca-Cola Arena, hosted by Hussain Sajwani, Founder and Chairman of DAMAC Group, and Amira Sajwani. The evening shimmered with star power — Bollywood icons Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt graced the stage, while Arab music sensation Majid Al Mohandis delivered a soul-stirring performance. It was not just a property launch — it was Dubai doing what it does best: transforming lifestyle into art.

Beyond its glamour, DAMAC Islands 2 is built on a philosophy of wellness-led luxury. The development promises wellness pavilions, floating decks, open-air spas, and nature-inspired retreats, where residents can find a rare calm that feels miles away from the city — even as the Dubai skyline glitters nearby. In a metropolis known for its towering ambition, this gorgeous place has chosen to go horizontal, offering space, privacy, and serenity — luxuries that have become rarities in urban life.

The timing of this launch couldn’t be more fitting. Dubai’s property market continues to surge, reflecting global investor confidence in the emirate’s growth. In just the first 290 days of 2025, property sales soared to AED 525.87 billion, surpassing even the record-breaking performance of 2024. The third quarter alone saw 59,228 transactions worth AED 170.7 billion, setting yet another all-time record. DAMAC, of course, continues to lead this wave — with DAMAC Islands topping villa and townhouse transactions and DAMAC Hills 2 following close behind.

The master plan offers six-bedroom luxury villas (approx. 583 sq.m), five-bedroom twin villas (approx. 324 sq.m), and townhouses ranging from 203 to 293 sq.m, starting at AED 2.7 million. Each residence merges minimalist tropical architecture with opulent interiors, allowing nature and luxury to flow seamlessly together. Picture palm-fringed courtyards, water features glistening under moonlight, and terraces that open into a private Eden.

Adding a touch of whimsy to its global narrative, DAMAC also launched an engaging international campaign — “The Ultimate Islander.” The winner of this one-of-a-kind competition will receive an all-expenses-paid trip and the chance to become a DAMAC employee while living on one of the eight islands. A lifestyle dream, indeed.

With a legacy spanning over 50,000 delivered homes and collaborations with some of the world’s most iconic fashion and lifestyle brands — Versace, Roberto Cavalli, de GRISOGONO — DAMAC continues to set benchmarks in the world of luxury real estate. From Dubai to London, Miami to the Maldives, its developments whisper the same message — that true luxury isn’t just about opulence, but about emotion, beauty, and belonging.

As the sun sets over the crystal lagoons of DAMAC Islands 2, and as Dubai yet again redefines what living beautifully means, one thing is clear — TheGlitz has found its next great escape, and it’s glowing with island light.
