About Maldives 5
Maldives 5 Tropical Island Concept
Maldives 5 forms part of a cluster of six themed neighbourhoods within DAMAC Islands, each named after a well-known tropical destination: Maldives, Bora Bora, Seychelles, Hawaii, Bali and Fiji. The Maldives cluster carries the design language of that theme through its villas and townhouses, built around water features rather than a conventional street grid.
The cluster sits in Al Yalayis 1, within the wider DAMAC Islands masterplan by DAMAC Properties. The project comprises 155 townhouse and villa units across ground-plus-one, ground-plus-two and basement-plus-ground-plus-two configurations, with concrete structures and finished interiors and exteriors.
Unit Mix & Floor Plans
The lineup spans four product types. Trendy townhouses include the DITH-M, a 4-bedroom unit of 2,208 sq ft, and the DITH-E, a 5-bedroom-plus-maid layout of 3,178 sq ft across ground, first and second floors. Luxury villas include the DIV3 at 4,440 sq ft with 6 bedrooms and a maid's room across two floors.
At the top end, the LV55E villa offers 6 bedrooms plus gym and maid's room over 10,671 sq ft, and the LV75E offers 7 bedrooms plus gym and maid's room over 17,078 sq ft, both with ground, first, second and basement levels. Starting prices range from AED 2.25 million for the 4-bedroom townhouse to AED 18.5 million for the largest villa typology.
Maldives 5 in Dubai Amenities & Water Features
The cluster's amenity programme is built around water: a waterfall lagoon, a lagoon tour by hammock, gondola-style paddling, a central hub fountain, an aqua dome, a jungle river, a jungle swing and an aqua park. A minigolf island and a dedicated wedding venue add to the recreational offering.
These features are shared across the six themed clusters that make up DAMAC Islands, giving residents access to a broader network of water-based leisure facilities beyond the immediate Maldives neighbourhood.
Investment Case
Entry pricing from AED 2.25 million for a 4-bedroom townhouse positions the Maldives cluster within DAMAC's broader villa-community pricing strategy, with a per-square-foot rate near AED 1,019 at the smallest typology. Handover is scheduled for Q4 2028, with funds held under an escrow account at Emirates NBD.
Buyers considering financing or residency benefits from this purchase size should review the UAE Golden Visa property investment threshold, and the general process outlined in our guide to buying property in Dubai.

Location
Connectivity & Access
The project sits near Al Yalayis Road, with access to Emirates Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road. Drive times quoted in the developer's materials put Dubai Investment Park at roughly 18 minutes, the Expo 2020 venue at about 20 minutes, and Burj Al Arab at approximately 28 minutes.
Al Maktoum International Airport is cited at around 30 minutes and Dubai International Airport at about 23 minutes, while Sports City, Motor City and DAMAC Hills are noted as roughly 15 minutes away.
Surrounding Community
DAMAC Islands sits within the Al Yalayis district on Dubai's southwestern growth corridor, an area increasingly defined by masterplanned communities rather than city-centre density. The location favours residents seeking villa living with direct road access to established hubs like Dubai Investments Park and the Expo City area.
