Fiji at DAMAC Islands by DAMAC

It is a DAMAC Properties townhouse cluster within DAMAC Islands, the lagoon-themed masterplan DAMAC is developing in Dubailand. It takes its name from Fiji, one of the six island destinations the masterplan is themed on, and comprises 798 units across the Fiji cluster, offered as 4 Bedroom Townhouses and 5 Bedroom Townhouses, and handover is expected in Q4 2028.

Fiji is one of the clusters of DAMAC Islands, in Dubailand. DAMAC's location map draws the masterplan with Emirates Road, Al Qudra Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road marked around it. DAMAC's published drive times for the community are 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. DAMAC quotes these for the masterplan overall, so the drive from a particular Fiji plot can differ, and traffic will move them.

There are two layouts. The 4 Bedroom Townhouse (DAMAC code DITH-M) measures 2,208 sq ft (205 sq m) and is arranged over ground and first floors. The 5 Bedroom Townhouse (DITH-E) measures 3,178 sq ft (295 sq m) over ground, first and second floors and adds a maid's room. For entrances, DAMAC specifies porcelain-slab floors, laminated glass and marble; those finishes may be substituted, and your SPA states what your unit actually receives.

The 4 Bedroom Townhouse starts from AED 2.251M ≈ USD 613K and the 5 Bedroom Townhouse from AED 3.07M ≈ USD 836K. Limited units are available. DAMAC sets the price of each home by release, layout and plot position, so a specific unit can sit above the starting figure, and the binding number is the one on the price list current at reservation.

DAMAC's masterplan lists planned community amenities that include a Lagoon Tour in Hammock, gondola-style paddling, Lagoon Waterfalls with a Hot Springs Spa, a Jungle River with rapids, a zipline and jungle swings, Water Platforms, a Mini Golf Island, an Iguanas Park and Fruit Market, a yoga and calisthenics park, a Fitness Park, the Aqua Dome and a wedding venue. These are shared amenities of the DAMAC Islands masterplan, not facilities inside the Fiji cluster, and DAMAC decides their final form and timing.

The expected handover is Q4 2028. With works at an early phase, both the keys and the 25% due on completion are some distance off, and each townhouse's binding completion date is written into its own SPA. Every inspection reading is logged in the Fiji at DAMAC Islands construction updates guide.

DAMAC's DAMAC Islands payment plan (launch sheet, November 2024) asks for 20% on booking together with the 4% DLD registration fee, then 55% over 39 instalments due by months from the sale date, 35 of them at 1% and four at 5%, and a final 25% on completion. Because the instalments run to a calendar rather than to construction stages, the split works out at 75/25. This is the plan DAMAC issued at the DAMAC Islands launch in November 2024; confirm the current schedule for your Fiji phase with DAMAC and in the SPA.

Budget for the 4% DLD registration fee, which is due together with the 20% deposit when you book. That fee is paid to the Dubai Land Department and never passes through escrow. On a 4 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 2,251,000 it comes to AED 90,040 ≈ USD 25K, and on a 5 Bedroom Townhouse at AED 3,070,000 it comes to AED 122,800 ≈ USD 33K.

Yes, at the listed starting prices. The 10-year UAE Golden Visa through property requires a value of at least AED 2M ≈ USD 545K, and both Fiji types are priced above it. The lowest-priced home, the 4 Bedroom Townhouse from AED 2.251M ≈ USD 613K, sits AED 251,000 above it, and the 5 Bedroom Townhouse is priced higher. The figure assessed is the DLD-recorded value, shown on the Oqood while the home is off-plan and on the title deed once it is complete; a discounted or resale price under AED 2M would not qualify on its own, and the final decision rests with ICP or GDRFA at application. The Fiji at DAMAC Islands Golden Visa guide walks through the application.

Your rights are defined by the SPA you sign with DAMAC and by what the Dubai Land Department records. As an off-plan purchase, the townhouse is registered first through an Oqood, the DLD's interim record for homes still under construction; once the home is complete and the price fully paid, a title deed is issued to you. Rely on the tenure stated in those two documents.

Instalments on an off-plan home are deposited into a DLD-registered escrow account, and the developer can draw them only as construction progress is verified, a system regulated by the Dubai Land Department. The Fiji cluster is registered with the DLD in two phases (Fiji 1 and Fiji 2), and each phase is a separate DLD project with its own escrow account. The Fiji 1 account is held with Emirates NBD; a buyer in Fiji 2 should read the account details in their own SPA or Oqood and confirm them on Dubai REST, and should not pay into the Fiji 1 account. The Fiji at DAMAC Islands escrow account guide sets out each check.

Yes. You can reserve, sign the SPA and complete the Oqood registration from abroad, and for overseas clients I coordinate the remote purchase with DAMAC from start to finish. The documents and steps involved are explained across my Dubai real estate guide library.
