Bali at DAMAC Islands by DAMAC

Bali at DAMAC Islands is a townhouse and villa cluster developed by DAMAC Properties as part of DAMAC Islands, a lagoon-themed community in Dubailand. It comprises 1,134 units across four home types, 4 and 5 bedroom townhouses and 5 and 6 bedroom villas, with handover expected in Q4 2028.

Bali is part of DAMAC Islands in Dubailand. DAMAC gives community drive times of 20 minutes to the Expo 2020 Venue, 23 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 28 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 30 minutes to Burj Al Arab. These figures apply to DAMAC Islands as a whole rather than to a route measured from the Bali cluster.

4 Bedroom Townhouses measure 2,208 sq ft (205 sq m) and 5 Bedroom Townhouses 3,178 sq ft (295 sq m). 5 Bedroom Villas measure 3,477 sq ft (323 sq m), and 6 Bedroom Villas, DIV-3 measure 4,440 sq ft (412 sq m); DIV-3 is a 6 bedroom villa type with a maid's room in DAMAC's DAMAC Islands material. The room-by-room layout of a specific home is confirmed on its unit plan.

Townhouses start from AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K (4 bedroom) and AED 3.10M ≈ USD 844K (5 bedroom). Villas start from AED 4.37M ≈ USD 1.19M (5 bedroom) and AED 7.35M ≈ USD 2.00M (6 bedroom, DIV-3). Limited units are available; DAMAC sets individual prices according to release, type and plot position, so any given home is quoted from DAMAC's live price list.

DAMAC's DAMAC Islands masterplan lists planned community amenities such as the Central Hub Fountain, the Aqua Dome, gondola-style paddling, Water Platforms, Lagoon Waterfalls, a Mini Golf Island, a Tortoise Garden and Parrot Park, Yoga Floating Decks, an Aqua Park with rapids, a zipline, jungle swings, a Wildlife Park, a Fitness Park, a Hot Springs Spa and private boat riding. These are shared facilities of the wider masterplan rather than amenities inside the Bali cluster, and DAMAC determines their final design.

Handover is expected in Q4 2028. With the build at an early stage, both the keys and the final 25% payment lie a long way off, and each buyer's contractual completion date is set in their own SPA. The Bali at DAMAC Islands construction updates guide follows the DLD inspection readings.

Under DAMAC's DAMAC Islands launch payment plan (November 2024), a buyer pays a 20% deposit at booking, with the 4% DLD registration fee due at the same time; next come 39 instalments totalling 55%, timed in months after the sale (thirty-five of 1% and four of 5%); the last 25% falls due on completion, which makes it a 75/25 plan tied to dates rather than to construction. This is the plan DAMAC issued at the DAMAC Islands launch in November 2024; the sheet does not name the Bali cluster, so confirm the current schedule for your Bali phase with DAMAC and in the SPA.

The main one is the 4% DLD registration fee, settled at booking alongside the 20% deposit; it goes to the Dubai Land Department, not to the escrow account. It works out at AED 88,000 ≈ USD 24K on a 4 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 2,200,000 and AED 124,000 ≈ USD 34K on a 5 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 3,100,000.

At the listed prices, every Bali home type is above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property value threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa; the lowest, the 4 Bedroom Townhouse from AED 2.20M ≈ USD 599K, clears it by AED 200,000. The figure that matters is the value the DLD records, first on the Oqood and later on the title deed, so a discounted or resale price under AED 2M would not by itself meet the test, and ICP or GDRFA decide eligibility when you apply. The Bali at DAMAC Islands Golden Visa guide sets out the process.

The terms of ownership are those in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and on the Dubai Land Department record. Because Bali is sold off-plan, the purchase is first registered as an Oqood, the DLD's interim registration for homes under construction, and the title deed follows in the owner's name after completion and final payment. Rely on the tenure stated in your own SPA and DLD registration.

Off-plan instalments are paid into a DLD-registered escrow account and released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Bali cluster is registered with the DLD in four phases (Bali 1 to Bali 4), each a separate project with its own escrow account. The Bali 1 account is held with Emirates NBD; buyers in Bali 2, Bali 3 or Bali 4 read the account from their own SPA or Oqood and verify it on Dubai REST, and do not pay into the Bali 1 account. The Bali at DAMAC Islands escrow account guide walks through the checks.
