Villa & Townhouse Renovation in Damac Hills 2, Dubai

About The Community
Dubai's Wellness-Led, High-Volume Villa Community
Damac Hills 2 — still widely known by its original name, Akoya Oxygen — is a DAMAC Properties masterplan spanning around 55 million sq ft and more than 14,000 villas and townhouses, spread across sub-communities including Camelia, Verona, Violet and Pacifica. It was designed around an "Oxygen" wellness and green-living concept, with parks, lakes and water features running through the community and the signature Malibu Beach amenity — a wave pool and lazy river — as its centrepiece attraction.
Damac Hills 2 is consistently one of the highest-transacted villa and townhouse communities in the UAE by sales volume, positioned as a more accessible alternative within DAMAC's wider portfolio. That draws a mix of first-time villa buyers moving up from apartments and investors focused on rental yield — both of whom typically want a smart, well-executed renovation rather than an unlimited-budget transformation.
Crownstone approaches every Damac Hills 2 project with that context front and centre: accurate scoping, a fixed price, and craftsmanship that holds up regardless of budget size.

Our Approach
Full-Scope Capability, Right-Sized for Your Budget
Damac Hills 2 spans everything from compact three-bedroom townhouses to larger standalone villas, and no two renovation budgets look the same. What every project shares is the same disciplined approach: an accurate scope, a fixed price, and craftsmanship that doesn't cut corners even on a modest budget.
Our clearest proof of that standard is the complete renovation of a ~4,200 sq ft Type 7 villa in The Meadows — full demolition and open-plan reconfiguration, a complete MEP overhaul, a bespoke kitchen and a full master suite fit-out, delivered in 7 months. We have not completed a project in Damac Hills 2 itself, but the same discipline — honest pricing, accurate scoping and quality execution — applies whether the brief is a full villa transformation or a single kitchen refresh.
- Fixed-price quoting scaled to real Damac Hills 2 budgets
- Kitchen, bathroom and flooring upgrades as often as full renovations
- MEP and layout improvements for smarter, more functional homes
- Same quality standard applied regardless of project size
Community Life
Built Around Wellness, Water and Everyday Family Life
Damac Hills 2 was designed around a wellness and green-living concept, with parks, water features and the community's signature Malibu Beach amenity giving it a genuinely different character from Dubai's older, more formal villa communities. It's one of the highest-transacted villa and townhouse communities in the UAE by sales volume, popular with first-time villa buyers and yield-focused investors alike.
That mix of buyers shapes what renovation looks like here. Most projects are not full rebuilds — they're kitchen and bathroom refreshes, flooring upgrades and smarter layouts aimed at lifting a rental return or making a family home feel new again, on a realistic budget.

What You Need to Know
Renovating in Damac Hills 2 — Community Specifics
The NOC Process
Structural changes, external alterations and any works affecting shared plumbing or electrical routing require an NOC from DAMAC Community Management alongside a Dubai Municipality building permit. Non-structural interior refreshes — replacing a kitchen or bathroom within the same footprint — generally follow a lighter-touch approval process, but community management should still be notified before works start. Crownstone handles the full submission either way.
Renovating Across a Wide Range of Layouts
Damac Hills 2 spans compact townhouses in clusters like Camelia, Verona and Violet through to larger standalone villas in clusters such as Pacifica and Amazonia. Renovation strategy differs accordingly — space-efficient design and clever storage for townhouses, versus full-scope structural and MEP work where a larger villa plot allows it. Crownstone scopes each project against the specific cluster and layout, not a generic villa template.
Most Commonly Renovated Elements
Across Damac Hills 2, the most frequently requested projects are kitchen modernisation, bathroom refreshes, flooring replacement and opening up choked layouts where non-structural walls allow it. Outdoor space upgrades — even on smaller townhouse plots — are also popular, making the most of the community's parks-and-water-features setting.
Budget-Conscious Renovation Planning
Damac Hills 2 is positioned as a more accessible entry point within DAMAC's wider portfolio, and renovation budgets here reflect that. Crownstone plans projects to combine the highest-impact upgrades — typically kitchen, bathroom and flooring together — within a single, well-priced engagement rather than proposing an over-specified scope that doesn't match the community's realistic price points.
Common Questions
FAQ — Renovating in Damac Hills 2
Yes. Any structural change, external alteration or works affecting plumbing and electrical routing requires an NOC from DAMAC Community Management along with a Dubai Municipality building permit. Non-structural interior refreshes — replacing a kitchen or bathroom in the same footprint — generally follow a lighter-touch approval process, but community management still needs to be notified before works begin. Crownstone manages the full submission on your behalf either way.
Generally yes, reflecting the community's positioning as a more accessible entry point within DAMAC's portfolio. Most Damac Hills 2 projects we scope are kitchen, bathroom and flooring upgrades or smart layout improvements rather than full architectural rebuilds, and we price accordingly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all luxury rate.
Yes. A large share of Damac Hills 2 properties are townhouses across clusters like Camelia, Verona and Violet, and we have specific experience designing around the tighter footprints, shared walls and smaller gardens these layouts involve, alongside full-scope work on larger standalone villas in clusters such as Pacifica and Amazonia.
For investors, kitchen and bathroom modernisation consistently deliver the strongest return relative to cost, followed by flooring replacement and opening up choked layouts where non-structural walls allow it. Damac Hills 2's popularity with tenants seeking a newer, wellness-oriented community means a well-renovated unit tends to lease faster and at a premium versus an original-condition equivalent.
A combined kitchen, bathroom and flooring refresh package for a Damac Hills 2 townhouse typically starts at Crownstone's minimum project value of AED 250,000. A full villa renovation with MEP and layout changes typically ranges from AED 350,000 to AED 700,000 or more depending on scope and specification.
