DAMAC Hills 2 is a DAMAC Properties master community in Dubailand, launched in 2014 as Akoya Oxygen before being rebranded. It spans roughly 55 million sq ft and is built around affordable, suburban villa living, organised into themed sub-areas — including Water Town, Sports Town, and Equestrian Town — each centred on a different amenity focus.

It sits further out than DAMAC Hills (the original, golf-anchored community) and is positioned squarely at the affordable end of the villa market, trading proximity to central Dubai for larger plots, more green space, and lower entry prices than most freehold villa communities.

Getting around

DAMAC Hills 2 has no metro station within the community; the nearest stations — Expo 2020 and UAE Exchange — are roughly 15 to 20 minutes away by car. This is a car-dependent community, further from central Dubai than most freehold villa areas, which is part of why pricing sits at the affordable end of the villa segment.

Living in DAMAC Hills 2

The draw is space and amenities at a lower price point than most Dubai villa communities: golf, parks, swimming pools, and landscaped gardens spread across themed sub-areas, aimed at families wanting a suburban, self-contained lifestyle. The tradeoff is distance — this is one of the further-out freehold communities, with no metro access and a genuine reliance on a car for anything outside the community itself.
