F1 weekend, Dubai World Cup, and the winter golf season drive occupancy spikes. Fully managed furnished apartments in the golf-view buildings achieve 65–75% annual occupancy with yields approaching 10% gross. ## DAMAC Hills vs DAMAC Hills 2 DAMAC Hills 2 (formerly Akoya Oxygen) is a separate community further from Dubai city. The original DAMAC Hills has better location, more established infrastructure, and stronger resale liquidity. DAMAC Hills 2 offers lower entry but longer commute and thinner secondary market. ## DRE Verdict DAMAC Hills delivers solid apartment yields with a distinctive golf lifestyle. Build quality has improved post-2020. The Trump branding is a consideration for some international buyers. Secondary market is active. Best for investors comfortable with the DAMAC brand who want golf-adjacent returns at mid-market entry prices. *Data: DLD, District Real Estate transaction records, Q1-Q2 2026.*
