Maldives 4 at DAMAC Islands: Townhouses with Direct Beach Access
Damac Properties is building Maldives 4 as part of its DAMAC Islands master community in Dubai. The project offers 4-bedroom and 5-bedroom townhouses, with construction started in April 2024 and handover targeted for December 2028. It is one of several island-themed clusters within the wider DAMAC Islands development.
Living Inside a Master Community
DAMAC Islands is a large-scale planned community, and Maldives 4 sits within it. The "Maldives" branding signals the waterfront and beach lifestyle theme that runs through the development. Buying here means buying into shared infrastructure managed by Damac across the full community, with access to communal facilities that a smaller standalone project simply could not provide.
The location is in Dubai. DAMAC Islands functions as a destination community rather than a transit point, and the appeal works best for buyers who treat the community itself as their primary daily environment. For end-users, the draw is the lifestyle product: beach access, water features, open green space, and communal scale. For investors, the thesis is long-term appreciation in a master community with a clearly defined identity.
AED 2.34 Million for a Family Townhouse
The recorded starting price is AED 2,341,000, tied to the 4-bedroom unit configuration. Townhouses here follow a Type A layout. As a property format, a townhouse is a different proposition from an apartment: multi-floor, private entrance, a unit that suits a family living in it full-time.
At this price point, you are looking at a spacious family home in a large master community with comprehensive shared amenities. The value case rests on what the community delivers around the unit itself.
Amenities Built Around a Beach Lifestyle
The amenity package reflects the island-living concept directly. Here is what is included:
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium, Bicycle Track |
| Water & Outdoor | Infinity Pool, Beach Access, Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area |
| Dining | Dining in building |
Beach access is the feature that defines this project's pitch. The infinity pool and landscaped gardens extend the outdoor living options. The bicycle track is a practical addition for families who want active outdoor use within the community perimeter. On-site dining removes a daily friction point for residents who do not want to leave the community for meals.
The full amenity set is built for family end-users who want lifestyle conveniences close to home. The townhouse format and family-focused facilities point toward owner-occupiers and long-term holders rather than short-stay rental investors.
Handover in December 2028
Construction started in April 2024. Expected completion is December 2028, making this roughly a four-and-a-half-year build cycle. A buyer entering now in mid-2026 is looking at approximately two and a half years to handover.
That window matters for how you structure the purchase. Installments run through the build period, and the timeline gives breathing room for buyers managing multiple financial commitments.
Two Ways to Get In
Maldives 4 offers two payment structures:
| Option | Down Payment | During Construction | At Handover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 45% | 55% | N/A |
| Option 2 | 20% | 55% | 25% |
Option 1 is front-loaded. At 45% down, a buyer commits approximately AED 1.05 million before construction milestones begin. The remaining 55% follows across the build period. This suits cash-heavy buyers who prefer to put capital in early and avoid a large handover payment.
Option 2 is more accessible at entry. The 20% down payment brings the initial outlay to approximately AED 468,000, with 55% spread across the construction period and 25% due at handover. Entry is substantially more accessible, but the handover tranche is significant and requires liquidity or financing readiness at that stage.
Neither option includes a post-handover installment structure.
