Akoya Selfie Villas is a completed villa enclave within Damac Hills 2 (formerly Akoya Oxygen) — 21 freehold residential villas in 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom configurations, delivered December 2019, priced from AED 1.5 million to AED 2.2 million on the secondary market. Developed by Damac Properties and deliberately marketed to young professionals and first-time villa buyers, the Selfie enclave delivers private gardens, covered parking, and contemporary interiors at one of Dubai's most accessible freehold villa price points — all within a 55-million-square-foot master community containing a wave pool (Malibu Beach), Water Town aquatics, Sports Town facilities, Trump World Golf Club, GEMS schools, and Aster Clinic.
Akoya Selfie Villas represents Damac Properties' entry-level villa product within the expansive Damac Hills 2 master community. The 'Selfie' brand name was a deliberate millennial-era marketing device — positioning these villas as customisable, Instagram-worthy starter homes for young couples, professionals, and small families seeking their first freehold villa purchase in Dubai without the AED 3M+ price tags typical of villa communities in Emirates Hills, Palm Jumeirah, or Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The enclave comprises 21 villas in 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom configurations (with select larger 4-bedroom-plus layouts available), completed in December 2019 and now fully operational as a delivered community within Damac Hills 2. All properties are sold on a secondary/resale basis — there are no off-plan units remaining.
Damac Hills 2 itself spans 55 million square feet of master-planned community in Wadi Al Safa, Dubai, developed by Damac Properties as a 'green city' concept with extensive parks, lakes, sports facilities, and lifestyle destinations integrated across the community. The Selfie Villa enclave sits within this broader canvas, giving residents access to every shared amenity across Damac Hills 2 without any additional fees beyond the community's service charge structure.
Damac Hills 2 is located in Wadi Al Safa 5, inland Dubai, approximately 30 kilometres southwest of Downtown Dubai on the Al Qudra Road (D63) corridor. The community's distance from central Dubai is offset by its comprehensive internal infrastructure — schools, clinics, supermarkets, retail strips, and an extensive leisure campus are all within a 5-minute drive of the Selfie Villa enclave.
Key road connections:
Key travel times:
Residents of Damac Hills 2 primarily commute by personal vehicle. The community operates a shuttle service connecting to Metro stations at specified hours. For families with school-age children, the on-site GEMS FirstPoint School and Wellington GEMS Academy eliminate the daily school-run commute entirely.
Akoya Selfie Villas are designed in a contemporary townhouse-villa hybrid form — two-storey structures with flat roofs, large-format windows, neutral render exteriors, and covered parking integrated into the ground floor level. The architecture is clean and modern — prioritising function and value over ornamental complexity.
3-Bedroom Villas (3BR):
4-Bedroom Villas (4BR):
All villas were delivered with key-ready fit-out: tiled flooring in living areas, laminate or carpet in bedrooms, fitted kitchens with cabinetry and worktops, and bathroom fixtures installed. Some units on resale may have been upgraded by first owners with premium flooring, built-in wardrobes, or kitchen appliances.
The 'Selfie' brand concept encouraged personalisation — the neutral palette and open-plan layouts were intentionally designed as a canvas for young homeowners to express their own aesthetic through furniture, colour, and accessories.
The defining advantage of Akoya Selfie Villas is not the individual villa product — it is the extraordinary scale and variety of Damac Hills 2 community amenities surrounding it:
