Maldives 3 at DAMAC Islands: Townhouses and Villas from AED 2.4 Million
Maldives 3 is the third phase in Damac Properties' Maldives cluster within DAMAC Islands, a master community in Dubai. Construction began in March 2025 with handover targeted for December 2028. The project offers 4- and 5-bedroom townhouses alongside 7-bedroom villas.
Damac Properties developed DAMAC Islands as a large-scale master community. The Maldives cluster is one of several sub-zones within it, and Maldives 3 is the third residential phase within that cluster.
Life Inside a Developing Master Community
DAMAC Islands is a tiered master plan. Maldives 3 sits within the Maldives cluster, which is one zone among several in the broader development. That hierarchy has practical implications for residents in the early years.
At the December 2028 handover, residents will have access to the amenities within the Maldives 3 cluster, but the wider retail, hospitality, and leisure infrastructure of the master plan will still be coming online. The surrounding area will remain an active construction environment beyond that date as other phases build out. The community is positioned in Dubai's inland residential areas, away from the high-density coastal zones. The project suits buyers who want space, lower density, and a gated setting rather than immediate proximity to a dense, established retail and entertainment district.
Starting at AED 2,407,000
The entry price is AED 2,407,000, corresponding to a 4-bedroom townhouse. At the 20% down payment rate, the initial cash commitment is approximately AED 481,400.
The unit range also includes 5-bedroom townhouses and 7-bedroom villas for buyers who need more space or a larger plot.
Three Configurations, Two Property Types
4-bedroom townhouses are the entry format. They suit families of four to five who want private outdoor space within a gated community.
5-bedroom townhouses add one room to the same structure. That extra bedroom typically functions as a home office, guest suite, or live-in staff accommodation, depending on the household.
7-bedroom villas are the largest option in this cluster. Seven bedrooms fits multi-generational households or large families who want distinct quarters for parents, children, and guests. The villa format provides more built area and a larger plot than the townhouse options.
Amenities
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor Living | Landscaped Gardens, Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the most notable item on this list. Dubai's summer heat makes outdoor pools impractical for several months of the year; an enclosed pool gives residents a year-round usable option. The gymnasium and landscaped gardens form the standard wellness package for a gated community at this scale. On-site restaurants reduce dependency on outside dining, which carries more weight during the years when the surrounding master community is still building out its commercial infrastructure.
Construction Timeline: Handover December 2028
Construction started on 24 March 2025. Handover is expected by 31 December 2028, approximately 29 months from now.
Buyers entering now are roughly 16 months into a 45-month build cycle. The project is past its early stages but has the majority of its construction period ahead. The remaining timeline sets the schedule for construction-linked instalment payments and determines when the property is available for occupancy or rental.
Payment Plan: 20-55-25
| Stage | Share |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 55% |
| At handover | 25% |
On a AED 2,407,000 purchase, the 20% down payment amounts to AED 481,400 due at signing. The 55% construction tranche spreads across milestone payments through to late 2028. The final 25%, equating to AED 601,750, falls due at handover.
Most of the purchase price is committed before completion. Buyers pay 75% of the total across the booking and construction phases, with the remaining quarter due at the point of receiving keys.
