Damac Hills - Gems Estates

Gems Estates sits within DAMAC Hills, the established master-planned community in Dubai's Dubailand corridor, and represents DAMAC's most design-forward villa offering to date. The project draws on a creative collaboration with fashion house Roberto Cavalli and jewellery brand de Grisogono, translating the aesthetic language of both into residential architecture. Completion is scheduled for Q4 2025, with construction currently at 62 per cent.

# The community and where Gems Estates sits within it

DAMAC Hills is one of Dubai's more coherently planned low-rise communities. Built around the Trump International Golf Club, the district combines villa neighbourhoods, mid-rise apartment clusters, and a growing retail and leisure spine into something that reads as an actual place rather than a speculative land grab. Gems Estates occupies a position within this established fabric, adjacent to Ventura Mall, which sits less than 200 metres away.

The community has matured considerably since its early phases. Roads are finished, landscaping is established, and the amenity infrastructure that newer Dubai master plans merely promise is here already operational.

# Architecture and interior language

The design brief for Gems Estates reaches into an unexpected reference point: the Symbolist paintings of Austrian artist Gustav Klimt. The signature black and gold palette runs through the interiors with deliberate consistency, and the architectural forms favour curves over the blunt rectilinearity that dominates most Dubai villa stock. It is a specific aesthetic commitment, one that will suit a particular buyer and leave others cold.

Units are semi-furnished, with wardrobes included and kitchen appliances fitted. This sits somewhere between the bare shells common at the Dubai mid-market and the fully dressed turnkey product that some luxury developers now offer.

# Amenities within the project and community

The facility list at Gems Estates covers private cinema, game room, indoor gym, elevated swimming pool, and a jacuzzi. These sit alongside the broader DAMAC Hills infrastructure, which includes the Malibu Bay wave pool and, most significantly, the Trump International Golf Club with its 18-hole championship course.

For buyers who use their property on a schedule rather than as a permanent residence, this matters. A home with a wave pool and a golf club on the doorstep generates its own routine, without requiring the owner to venture far.

# Road connections and what lies beyond the gates

Jebel Ali School is a five-minute drive, at 1.5 kilometres. DAMAC Hills Park is reachable in the same time. For longer journeys, Downtown Dubai sits roughly 27 minutes away at 24.7 kilometres, as does Al Maktoum International Airport, which at 31.5 kilometres is the closer of Dubai's two major airports for residents in this corridor. Marina Beach is 26 minutes in normal traffic.

The location is suburban in character. Buyers expecting to walk to a restaurant or hail a cab at midnight will find the calculus different here than in Downtown or the Marina.

# Who this project is built for

Gems Estates is priced and designed for the buyer who treats a Dubai property as a second or third home: someone who wants a private, low-density environment with serious leisure infrastructure, and who responds to a design identity strong enough to distinguish the address from generic luxury stock.

The Klimt-referencing interiors and the Cavalli-de Grisogono collaboration signal an intent to attract collectors and design-literate buyers rather than the volume investor chasing yield. With construction at 62 per cent and completion set for Q4 2025, the project is entering its final build phase. Stock has sold through, which reflects both the specificity of the offering and the sustained demand that DAMAC Hills, as an address, continues to attract from international buyers.
