Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands by DAMAC

Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands is a cluster of townhouses and villas developed by DAMAC Properties within DAMAC Islands, a tropical-island-themed master community in Dubailand, Dubai. The Bora Bora cluster comprises 946 homes in three types, 4 Bedroom Townhouses, 5 Bedroom Townhouses and 6 Bedroom Villas, with handover expected in Q4 2028.

Bora Bora is part of DAMAC Islands in Dubailand. DAMAC's community drive-time estimates, which are not measured from Bora Bora itself, are about 15 minutes to Sports City, Motor City and DAMAC Hills, 18 minutes to Dubai Investment Park, 20 minutes to the Expo 2020 site, 23 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 28 minutes to Dubai International Airport and 30 minutes to the Burj Al Arab.

There are three types, with sizes taken from the saleable areas on DAMAC's floor plans: the 4 Bedroom Townhouse at 2,208 sq ft (205 sq m) over ground and first floors; the 5 Bedroom Townhouse at 3,178 sq ft (295 sq m) with a maid's room over ground, first and second floors; and the 6 Bedroom Villa at 4,440 sq ft (412 sq m) with a maid's room over ground and first floors. DAMAC's materials describe open-plan layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces.

Prices start from AED 2.29M ≈ USD 625K for a 4 Bedroom Townhouse, AED 3.11M ≈ USD 848K for a 5 Bedroom Townhouse and AED 6.82M ≈ USD 1.86M for a 6 Bedroom Villa. Limited units are available. DAMAC controls which homes are released and revises prices from one release to the next, so the price of a specific home depends on its type, its position and the release it belongs to at the time of booking.

Handover is expected in Q4 2028. The contractual completion date is the one set out in your SPA. Dated construction readings from the Dubai Land Department, and what each one means for buyers, are covered in the Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands construction updates guide.

Bora Bora follows a time-linked 75/25 plan: 20% on booking plus the 4% DLD registration fee, 55% across 39 monthly instalments after the sale (35 instalments of 1% and four of 5%), and 25% on completion. Instalments fall due by date rather than by construction milestone. This is DAMAC's launch payment plan for DAMAC Islands (November 2024 sheets); confirm the current Bora Bora schedule with DAMAC and in your SPA.

The main addition is the 4% DLD registration fee, paid at booking alongside the 20% deposit and paid to the Dubai Land Department rather than into escrow. On the starting prices that is AED 91,600 ≈ USD 25K for a 4 Bedroom Townhouse, AED 124,400 ≈ USD 34K for a 5 Bedroom Townhouse and AED 272,800 ≈ USD 74K for a 6 Bedroom Villa. Any further administration charges are set out in the SPA.

Every Bora Bora home type is priced above the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K property threshold for the 10-year UAE Golden Visa, starting from AED 2.29M for the 4 Bedroom Townhouse. The value that counts is the one recorded on the DLD Oqood or title deed, and eligibility is decided by the ICP or GDRFA under the rules in force when you apply. The Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands Golden Visa guide covers the steps in detail.

An off-plan purchase is registered with the Dubai Land Department on the Oqood register after the SPA is signed and the booking payments are made; the title deed is issued after completion and final payment. The ownership terms for each home are those set out in its SPA and on its DLD record.

Off-plan payments go into a DLD-registered escrow account and are released to the developer against verified construction progress, a framework regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Dubai Land Department registers the Bora Bora cluster as separate phases, each with its own project record and escrow account: the trust account for Bora Bora 1, the first registered phase, is held with Emirates NBD, and a buyer in another phase confirms the account named in their own SPA. The Bora Bora at DAMAC Islands escrow account guide explains how to verify it.

Yes. Reservation, SPA signing, payments and DLD registration can all be completed remotely, and I manage the process end to end with DAMAC on your behalf. Each stage of a remote purchase is documented in my Dubai real estate guide library.

DAMAC plans the amenities at master-community level, shared across DAMAC Islands rather than located inside the Bora Bora cluster. Its materials list a Central Hub Fountain, Wedding Venue, Aqua Dome, Iguanas Park and Fruit Market, gondola-style paddling, water platforms, a lagoon tour in hammocks, lagoon waterfalls, a Mini Golf Island, Tortoise Garden, Parrot Park, Aqua Park, Jungle River, rapids, a zipline, jungle swings, a yoga and calisthenics park, yoga floating decks, a wildlife park, a fitness park, a Hot Springs Spa and private boat rides. These are planned features and remain subject to change.
