DAMAC Hills 2 is a master-planned community in Dubailand by DAMAC Properties. It was previously known as Akoya Oxygen and launched in 2014. The community covers around 55 million square feet on the southern edge of Dubai, between Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77) and the Al Ain–Dubai Highway (E66).
The layout centers on themed clusters, with parks, lakes, and sports facilities woven through the master plan. You'll find villa and townhouse clusters such as Juniper, Camelia, Pacifica, Trixis, Janusia, Coursetia, Basswood, Primerose, Mimosa, Avencia, Albizia, Centaury, Vardon, Aster, Claret, and Zinnia.
Newer sub-communities include Violet, Verona, Natura, Park Greens, and Hawthorn, and apartment options include Viridis Residences. Inside each gated cluster, getting around on foot is straightforward, and internal roads link them back to the shared amenities.
This community tends to appeal to families and remote-friendly professionals who want more room and a quieter setup than central Dubai usually offers. It's also a common entry point for investors looking at lower-priced villas and townhouses.
Malibu Beach is the main draw, with a wave pool and lazy river, and residents also have an outdoor cinema, a petting farm, a dog park, padel and tennis courts, football pitches, cricket fields, and outdoor gyms inside the community.
Day-to-day essentials are mostly handled on site. The Akoya community center and Carrefour cover groceries, Health First pharmacies handle basics, and casual food options include Nay Oxygen, Qasr Al Madina, Tokyo Express, and Khabeer Mandi.
For guests or short stays, there's Edge by Rotana, Viridis hotel apartments, and Terra Solis Dubai, a desert resort about a seven-minute drive away. If you need more retail or school choices, Town Square and Damac Hills are both within driving range.

See all TransactionsDAMAC Hills 2 keeps most everyday errands inside the community. The Akoya community center brings together a Carrefour supermarket, a Health First pharmacy, and a small group of cafes and restaurants in one practical stop.
The leisure side is also built into daily life here. Malibu Beach, the outdoor cinema, the petting farm, and the dog park give residents enough to do on weekends without leaving the gates. When you need bigger malls, hospitals, or attractions across Dubailand, Al Qudra Road (D63) and Emirates Road (E611) are the main routes out.
Nay Oxygen is one of the closest sit-down options for residents, about an eleven-minute drive from the community core. Qasr Al Madina is right next to it in the same cluster and takes the same eleven-minute drive, with Arabic dishes and mixed grills. Tokyo Express serves Japanese food from the same address, which makes it a practical takeaway option on weeknights.
If you're after mandi, Khabeer Mandi is about a minute farther and is known for Yemeni rice dishes and slow-cooked lamb. Residents also use Hardee's, Pizza Hut, Nando's, and a KFC at the community center for fast food.

Family friendly environment with a community feel. More green park areas, playgrounds, swimming pool areas for kids and families to enjoy. Pet friendly. It is little far from the city centre and does not have bus or metro facility yet but great for families who love peaceful community living. Many important places are reachable in a short drive from this community.

Mimosa's location is very close to all community amenities and to the entry gate. So there is no traffic near this cluster. Also it is very well gatted, secured and safe. Damac Hills 2 is the biggest community in UAE with all the amenities and facilities to enjoy.

Mimosa
Mimosa is a good cluster like others in Damac Hills 2. But in the single row villas facing to gatepass office, there is a dewa building and treatment plant. There is always bad smell and noice from this buildings. Most of the time you are not able to sit and enjoy because of this bad smell and noice.

Waterproofing is poor. It rains on the inside when weather is bad and takes a very long time to get it fixed. There is no roof access, so every time there is an issue, a 'cherry picker' has to be called. Community is generally okay, fairly clean, but maintenance takes a long while to be completed.

Damac Hills 2 is mainly a low-rise villa and townhouse community. Homes are arranged in themed clusters around parks, lakes, and sports courts, with a smaller selection of apartments and hotel apartments closer to the retail and leisure core.
DAMAC Properties planned it as a group of gated sub-communities, and most homes include private gardens, dedicated parking, and access to shared facilities such as Malibu Beach, padel courts, cricket pitches, and outdoor gyms.
Villas for rent in Damac Hills 2 and Villas for sale in Damac Hills 2 make up a large part of Damac Hills 2, with options ranging from two-bedroom homes on compact plots to six-bedroom standalone properties on plots above 5,000 sq ft.
If you're looking at standard family layouts, clusters such as Camelia, Verona, and Juniper, usually offer three- and four-bedroom homes between roughly 1,700 and 2,500 sq ft of built-up area, often with a maid's room and closed kitchen.
Larger homes sit in a different bracket. V2 and V3 layouts in Vardon, Pacifica, Park Greens, and Claret go past 3,000 sq ft and suit buyers who need five or six bedrooms. Zinnia and Primrose sit closer to Malibu Beach and the retail strip, while Park Greens has semi-detached villas backing onto the water park.
Compared with three-bedroom villas in Damac Hills or Town Square, Damac Hills 2 usually comes in at a lower price per square foot.
Townhouses for sale and for rent in Damac Hills 2 are the defining product in Damac Hills. They're built back-to-back or in single rows across clusters such as Mimosa, Basswood, Albizia, and the newer Violet phases.
At the entry level, three-bedroom RRM and R2M layouts sit on plots around 1,208 sq ft with built-up areas near 1,669 to 1,696 sq ft. If you need more room, four- and five-bedroom types in Violet 1 through Violet 4, Natura, and Verona reach roughly 2,345 sq ft on 1,215 sq ft plots.
Apartments for rent in Damac Hills 2 and apartments for sale in Damac Hills 2 are a much smaller part of the mix and sit mainly in low-rise buildings such as Elo 1 and the Avencia block near the central amenities. Sizes start with one-bedroom layouts around 554 to 750 sq ft and go up to three-bedroom homes.
The Avencia building gives buyers a different format, with one-bedroom apartments that include a study and private garden between roughly 1,000 sq ft and 1,218 sq ft. That creates more of a townhouse-style ground-floor setup at apartment pricing. Compared with one-bedroom apartments in Jumeirah Village Circle or Dubai Land, Damac Hills 2 apartments sit at the affordable end.
Hotel apartments in Damac Hills 2 are limited to Viridis Residences. Studio units sit on plots around 420 sq ft. These units are mostly aimed at investors who want a lower ticket entry point connected to the community's leisure offering, rather than a full residential home. Pricing sits well below hotel apartments in Dubai South for sale.
Damac Hills 2 works well for families and remote workers who want more space, low service charges, and amenities such as Malibu Beach, the lazy river, padel and tennis courts, a petting farm, and a dog park inside the gates. It's less practical if you need a metro connection or a short weekday commute to DIFC or Downtown.
Damac Hills 2 offers some of Dubai's lowest villa and townhouse entry points, with a median around AED 1.9M and 3-bedroom homes in clusters like Albizia, Basswood, and Mimosa trading between AED 1.2M and AED 1.7M. High tenant demand from families keeps occupancy steady, while nearby projects like Sobha Sanctuary and The Valley support long-term value.
Damac Hills 2 is a freehold community, so residents and overseas buyers can own villas, townhouses, and apartments outright. Ownership includes the title deed registered with the Dubai Land Department and the right to sell, lease, or pass the property on.
Damac Hills 2, formerly Akoya Oxygen, sits further out along Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road and focuses on affordable townhouses and villas around Malibu Beach and sports amenities. Damac Hills is the older, more central sibling built around the Trump International Golf Club, with larger villas and higher price points.
The right cluster depends on what you need. Mimosa and Basswood sit close to the main gate and community amenities. Near the entrance, Juniper and Pacifica offer larger three and four-bedroom villas. Camelia and Aster are popular for family layouts with maid's rooms, while the newer Violet, Verona, and Natura townhouses are being handed over with contemporary G+2 designs.
Damac Hills 2 has no metro station, so most residents drive and use Al Qudra Road (D63), Jebel Ali–Lehbab Road (E77), and Emirates Road (E611) to get around Dubai. Bus route DA2 links the internal clusters, including stops near Amazonia, Trixis, Amargo, Victoria, Odora, Zinnia, and Mulberry, and continues toward Dubai Studio City for onward connections.
Yes. Damac Hills 2 allows pets and includes a dedicated dog park, walking paths, open lawns, and a petting farm inside the community. Most townhouses also come with a private garden, which makes everyday walks and off-lead time easier than in a typical apartment building.
