Eligibility Snapshot
Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 Golden Visa Facts
Maui is a 434-home freehold cluster of townhouses, twin villas and luxury villas inside DAMAC Islands 2, marketed by DAMAC Properties and carried on the Dubai Land Department register as project 4296 against developer 2464, DAMAC Prime Development L.L.C, on plot 21374 in Al Yelayiss 1. The register records registration on 29 December 2025, construction started on 2 May 2026, and the Dubai Land Department inspection record shows 0.18% progress at the 10 June 2026 inspection against 0% at the previous inspection. The detail that matters for residency planning: the entry point here is a 4 bedroom townhouse at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K, comfortably clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K minimum property investment applied under the UAE Golden Visa program, subject to the regulations in force when you apply. Every other typology sits higher again, so no buyer at Maui has to combine two properties to reach the line. Handover is June 2030, recorded on the register as 30 June 2030 completion, and that is the point at which Oqood registration converts to a title deed.

Unit by Unit
Which Maui Homes Meet the AED 2M Threshold
Buyers chasing residency usually have to run two decisions in parallel: the home the family actually wants, and the price point that reaches the Golden Visa minimum. At Maui those two decisions collapse into one. The cheapest item on the price list is a 4 bedroom townhouse, and it already sits well clear of the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line; from there the range climbs to a 6 bedroom luxury villa priced at close to five times the threshold. Nothing released here has to be paired with a second purchase to qualify.
| Unit Type | Built-Up Area | Starting Price | Qualifies Alone |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 Bedroom Townhouse | ≈ 2,186 sq ft (203 sq m) | AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Townhouse | ≈ 2,829 to 3,158 sq ft (263 to 293 sq m) | AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K | Yes |
| 5 Bedroom Twin Villa | ≈ 3,492 sq ft (324 sq m) | AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K | Yes |
| 6 Bedroom Luxury Villa | ≈ 6,276 sq ft (583 sq m) | AED 9.51M ≈ USD 2.59M | Yes |
| All four released typologies at Maui qualify individually. No combining of properties is needed. | |||
Why this matters: eligibility is assessed on the registered purchase value, so a 4 bedroom townhouse contracted at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K keeps you above the threshold from the moment the sale is recorded, long before handover. Resale or secondary units priced below AED 2M ≈ USD 545K would not qualify on their own, so confirm the registered value on your specific unit before applying.
Payment Plan and Timing
When Off-Plan Buyers at Maui Can Apply
Maui sells on a 20/55/25 structure: a 20% deposit due immediately at booking, with the 4% Dubai Land Department fee paid in addition to that initial deposit, then 55% spread across 47 instalments through the construction period, and the closing 25% on completion. Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration, which the developer completes once the sale is recorded, together with proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any payment conditions applied by the Dubai Land Department and the residency authorities at the time you apply.
My read on the timing: the register puts this project at an early stage, 0.18% recorded at the 10 June 2026 inspection, which makes the choice between the two application windows unusually clear-cut. Waiting for the title deed means waiting for the June 2030 handover, close to four years away, so that route suits investors with no residency deadline and a preference for the simplest possible file. Buyers relocating a family, opening UAE bank accounts or moving a business want residency long before then, and for them the working route is the off-plan one: apply on the Oqood-registered contract once the applicable paid-value conditions have been met during construction. The instalment schedule is the lever there, because paying ahead of the milestone dates brings the qualifying paid value forward. Conditions for off-plan applications are updated from time to time, so confirm the current paid-value requirement before you submit.
VIP processing, zero service fee: for buyers who purchase through me, the full application service, document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included free. You pay only the official government fees published by the issuing authorities.

Project Insights for Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 Buyers
A Golden Visa purchase at Maui rests on more than clearing the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K threshold. Two records are worth watching from the day you sign: the Dubai Land Department reading that tracks the build toward the title deed, and the project escrow account that every instalment is supposed to land in. Both are kept current below.

Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 Golden Visa Frequently Asked Questions
All four. The 4 bedroom townhouses start at AED 2.75M ≈ USD 749K, the 5 bedroom townhouses and 5 bedroom twin villas at AED 3.67M ≈ USD 999K, and the 6 bedroom luxury villas at AED 9.51M ≈ USD 2.59M, so every released typology clears the AED 2M ≈ USD 545K line on its own without combining properties. Always confirm the registered value of your specific unit, since resale units priced below the threshold would not qualify alone. Full criteria are covered in the Golden Visa requirements guide.
Off-plan applications are typically supported by Oqood registration and proof that the purchase meets the qualifying value and any paid-value conditions applied at the time of application. Buyers who prefer the simplest possible file can instead wait for the title deed, issued at the June 2030 handover that the Dubai Land Department register records as 30 June 2030 completion. The sequence is set out step by step in the off-plan Golden Visa guide.
The plan is a 20% deposit due immediately, with the 4% Dubai Land Department fee paid in addition to that deposit, then 55% across 47 instalments during construction and 25% on completion. Because the instalment schedule runs for roughly four years before completion, most buyers reach the commonly applied paid-value conditions well ahead of handover, so an application during construction is usually possible once the conditions in force at that time are met.
Yes. Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 is freehold and open to all nationalities, with ownership registered at the Dubai Land Department, which is a requirement for property-based Golden Visa eligibility. Buyer payments are held in a Dubai Land Department registered escrow account with First Abu Dhabi Bank P.J.S.C., detailed on the Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 escrow account page.
No. For buyers who purchase through this advisory, the VIP application service, covering document preparation, submission, and status follow-up, is included at no charge. Only the official government fees apply, as published by the issuing authorities at the time of application.
No. Eligibility rests on the registered purchase value and the documents supporting the transaction, not on how far the build has progressed. What the stage does affect is timing. The Dubai Land Department record showed 0.18% progress at the 10 June 2026 inspection, so the title deed route sits at the June 2030 handover, while an application before then rests on Oqood registration and the paid-value conditions applied at submission.
The property-linked Golden Visa is currently issued as a 10-year renewable residency. Under the conditions in force at the time of application it generally allows the holder to sponsor a spouse and children, with household staff subject to separate rules applied by the residency authorities. These conditions are updated from time to time, so the current position is set out in the Golden Visa benefits guide.
No. The purchase makes you eligible to apply, but approval depends on satisfying every requirement in force at the time of application, including ownership verification and standard background checks. Progress on the build can be reviewed at any time on the Maui at DAMAC Islands 2 construction updates page.
