Akoya Oxygen Plot is a freehold residential land opportunity in Damac Hills 2, the Dubailand community that was formerly called Akoya Oxygen and is developed by Damac Properties.

Land, not a finished home

Most Dubai purchases are apartments, villas or townhouses that already exist or are being built by a developer to a fixed design. Akoya Oxygen Plot is different. It offers titled land inside a master community, and the buyer designs and builds the house. That gives freedom over layout, rooms, finishes and outdoor space, and it also gives you the job of managing design, approvals and construction.

The community was originally called Akoya Oxygen and is now branded Damac Hills 2. It covers 55 million square feet in the Dubailand area. Our page for this offer is Akoya Oxygen Plot.

Plot sizes, zoning and what you can build

Plots start from approximately 1,200 sq ft, and sizes vary by cluster and by position in the community. They are zoned for residential use, for G+1 and G+2 villas and townhouses. The title is freehold, registered with Dubai Land Department. Larger plots suited to compound-style builds, where several villas share one plot for an extended family, are offered in some clusters.

Within the community's design guidelines, the styles named include contemporary villas with private pools and gardens, Arabian-style villas with mashrabiya screens and courtyards, Mediterranean-style villas with terracotta rooflines, and minimalist designs with floor-to-ceiling glazing and rooftop terraces. The guidelines keep each cluster consistent, so ask for them in writing before you commission any drawings.

Where the plot sits in the community

Position changes what a plot is like to live next to. Plots are offered facing community parks, beside water features, along the edge of nature reserve areas and next to the golf course. Corner plots and park-facing plots are priced higher than others.

When you view a plot, stand on the actual ground. Look at what is on each side, where the sun will fall, how far the road is, and what the neighbouring plots are likely to hold.

Water Town, Sports Town and the rest of the community

Damac Hills 2 is built around themed areas that are already part of the masterplan:

• Water Town: the Malibu Beach wave pool, a lazy river, splash pads, sunbathing decks and poolside food and drink service.
• Sports Town: an outdoor gym, tennis and padel courts, basketball, football and multi-sports courts, and jogging and cycling tracks through the parks.
• Down Town: the community hub, with a zen garden, barbecue areas, an amphitheatre, a petting zoo and children's playgrounds.
• Equestrian Town: an operating equestrian club with stabling, riding arenas and lessons.

Other features include a hydroponic café that grows produce in vertical systems, a tropical rainforest biome and the Akoya Fitness and Wellness Center.

Everyday services inside the masterplan

Because the community is large and sits away from the city centre, many daily needs are met inside it. There is a Carrefour hypermarket, a retail village with boutique shopping, pharmacies and services, food and drink outlets, schools and nurseries, and mosques.

Check which of these are open and operating on the day you visit, because phases of a large masterplan open at different times. Ask for the list of what is open today and what is planned.

Getting in and out

Damac Hills 2 lies in the Dubailand district, along the Al Qudra Road (D63) and Dubai-Al Ain Road (E66) corridors in the south of the emirate. Residents mainly travel by car, joining Emirates Road (E611) or Al Ain Road (E66) for the main employment areas. Because the community is self-contained, some residents work inside it or from home.

Test the commute yourself at the hours you would really drive it. A route that looks short on a map can feel very different at the start of the working day.

Damac Hills in registered figures

These figures are for the whole of Damac Hills, the area our page for this plot sits under, and not for Akoya Oxygen Plot itself. Across the area, Dubai Land Department registered 1,976 sales in the latest 12 months, 1,176 of them in completed buildings and 800 off-plan, at a median of AED 1,578.10 per sq ft. The most recent sale was on 2026-05-12. The same area also had 2,234 registered rental contracts over the latest 12 months, at a median annual rent of AED 64,250.

A price per sq ft for built homes does not describe a bare plot of land, where the value depends on the plot's size, position and cluster, and where the cost of building comes on top. Use these numbers as background about the area, and ask for registered sales of plots, with dates, if you want a closer comparison.

You can browse recent registered transactions on our site to see what these entries look like. Our methodology page explains how these figures are counted.

A checklist before you buy a plot at Akoya Oxygen Plot

Buying land and then building is a longer process than buying a finished home. Work through these steps in order.

1. Ask for the plot number, exact size, boundaries and the plot plan, and check that they match the contract.
2. Ask how the plot is registered. Because the status is off-plan, ask whether you will receive a title deed or an off-plan registration in Oqood, and keep the certificate.
3. Ask to see the title deed or registration and confirm that the seller's name matches the owner on it.
4. Ask for Damac's community design guidelines for the cluster, including height, setbacks, style and any limits on pools or extensions.
5. Ask what approvals you need from the master developer before construction, and in what order, and whether there are deadlines for starting and finishing the build.
6. Ask who connects water, electricity and other utilities to the plot, and when.
7. Ask for the community service charge budget and what it covers.
8. Plan the full cost of building, not just the cost of the plot, and speak to architects and contractors before you commit.
9. Visit the plot at different times, on a weekday and at a weekend, and check which facilities and services are open today.
10. After the sale is complete, check that the title deed or registration carries your name.

Keep a dated note of every answer, with the name of the person who gave it. Prices and rules change, and a figure without a date is hard to rely on.
