Bali at Damac Islands: Townhouses and Villas in a Master-Planned Island Community
Damac Properties launched Bali at Damac Islands as one of several themed clusters within its DAMAC Islands master development in Dubai. Construction broke ground in April 2025, and the development targets completion at the end of 2028. The offer is townhouses and villas, a 20% down payment, and a single listed price at AED 2.6 million.
AED 2.6 Million: One Price, Two Formats
Both the minimum and maximum listed price sit at AED 2,600,000. There is no range across unit types. The project sits in the upper-mid segment of the Dubai off-plan residential market for this property category. The DAMAC brand and the island-themed community format both contribute to where this project is positioned relative to entry-level townhouse and villa offerings in the city.
Townhouses and Villas: Who Each Format Suits
Two property types are available: townhouses and villas. Both are listed at the same price.
A townhouse suits buyers who want a residential feel close to a standalone home. You get private outdoor space and direct access without the full land footprint of a villa. A villa suits buyers who put land, privacy, and separation between properties first. At the same listed price, the distinction between the two formats comes down to floor area, plot size, and where each unit sits within the master plan.
DAMAC Islands: Living in a Single-Developer Ecosystem
DAMAC Islands is built entirely by Damac Properties. Bali is one of the themed clusters within the broader master plan. The community sits in the Dubailand area of Dubai, outside the established central corridors.
All infrastructure, shared outdoor space, retail, and community management operates under one developer. For buyers who value uniform standards across a development, this type of environment removes variability. Common areas and facilities reflect a single brief. For buyers who prefer an organically developed neighbourhood with multiple operators and more variety, a master-planned single-developer island is a different proposition.
Geographically, Dubailand is not adjacent to Dubai's major employment clusters. Travel to Downtown, DIFC, Business Bay, or the Marina is a practical factor for buyers who work centrally. For buyers whose priority is space and a private home over proximity to the central business district, this location offers more room per dirham than comparable pricing in Dubai's inner zones.
Amenities: Practical and Family-Focused
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness & Wellness | Gymnasium, Indoor Swimming Pool |
| Outdoor & Green Space | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Food & Beverage | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The amenity offering covers the essentials a family-oriented community needs day to day. An indoor pool and gymnasium serve active residents without requiring off-site facilities. Landscaped gardens and a children's play area indicate the development is built for families intending to live there, not primarily for investor buyers. On-site restaurants reduce dependence on external dining options.
The set is focused on daily utility. It positions Bali at Damac Islands as a liveable family community rather than a resort-heavy development.
End of 2028: What Off-Plan Entry Means
Construction started April 2025. Expected completion is December 31, 2028. A buyer entering now has roughly two and a half years of construction ahead before handover.
The full purchase price is paid before keys are handed over, with the bulk of payments tied to construction milestones.
Getting In at 20%: The Payment Breakdown
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 55% |
| Handover | 25% |
AED 520,000 is the entry cost (20% of AED 2.6M). That is a standard down payment rate for an off-plan development in Dubai at this price level.
The construction phase absorbs 55% of the total price, paid in milestones through the build period. The remaining 25% is due at handover, when ownership transfers and the full purchase price is cleared.
