About Maldives 1

Architecture & Unit Types

DAMAC Islands - Maldives 1 is a low-rise residential development in Al Yalayis 1, Dubai, comprising 397 townhouses and villas across basement-plus-ground-plus-2, ground-plus-2, and ground-plus-1 configurations. Structures are concrete frame with block infill, finished internally and externally to DAMAC's standard specification. The development is the Maldives cluster within the broader DAMAC Islands master plan, which draws its design language from six tropical island destinations worldwide.

Four unit types are offered: 4-bedroom townhouses at 2,208 sq.ft, 5-bedroom-plus-maid townhouses at 3,178 sq.ft, 6-bedroom-plus-maid villas at 4,440 sq.ft, and two larger villa formats including a 6-bedroom-plus-gym-plus-maid villa at 10,671 sq.ft and a 7-bedroom-plus-gym-plus-maid villa at 17,078 sq.ft. Each villa type is differentiated by a distinct facade reference code (DITH for townhouses, DIV3 and LV55/LV75 for villas).

Tropical Island Design Concept

The master plan organises the community into six themed clusters, each inspired by a recognised tropical destination: Maldives, Bora Bora, Seychelles, Hawaii, Bali, and Fiji. Maldives 1 is the first registered phase. The

design brief centres on water as the primary organising element, with lagoons, waterfalls, and water-based circulation routes shaping the public realm between homes.

Architectural massing keeps buildings low to preserve a resort-like scale throughout the neighbourhood. Private plots are oriented to maximise access to communal water features, and the landscaping palette reflects tropical vegetation rather than the more common xeriscape seen across comparable Dubai villa communities.

Amenities & Community Facilities

The shared amenity programme includes an Aqua Dome, Aqua Park, Jungle River, Jungle Swing, Waterfall Lagoon, lagoon hammock tours, gondola-style paddling, a Central Hub Fountain, a dedicated wedding venue, and a minigolf island. These facilities are integrated into the master plan rather than confined to a single clubhouse footprint, distributing activation points across the community in Dubai.

Investment Case

Entry pricing starts at AED 2.25M for a 4-bedroom townhouse, rising to AED 3.1M for a 5-bedroom-plus-maid townhouse. Villa pricing begins at AED 6.3M for the V3 6-bedroom type and reaches AED 18.5M for the LV75 7-bedroom format. The project for sale in Dubai is registered with Dubai Land Department under escrow at Emirates NBD, with a project completion date of 31 December 2028.

Al Yalayis 1 sits at a crossroads of Emirates Road, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and Al Qudra Road, giving residents timed access to Dubai Investment Park, Expo 2020 venue, and major employment corridors without the premium land cost of established villa addresses closer to the coast. The low-rise, water-themed format occupies a distinct positioning in the Dubai off-plan villa market, where comparable tropical-resort concepts remain limited.
