DAMAC Islands Sets Guinness Record & Breaks Sales Milestone Again

Last Updated: January 12, 2026

Dubai’s luxury real estate sector has entered a new era, and DAMAC is once again at the center of it. We are proud to announce that DAMAC has officially received the Guinness World Records™ title for “THE HIGHEST REVENUE GENERATED BY A REAL ESTATE LAUNCH IN 24 HOURS” for Phase 1 of DAMAC Islands.

This global recognition was awarded during the launch ceremony of DAMAC Islands Phase 2, marking a moment where the past achievement and the future potential of this master community came together in one powerful milestone.

But the story didn’t end with the award. It began a new chapter.

Because while the Guinness World Record belongs to DAMAC Islands (Phase 1), the launch of DAMAC Islands 2 didn’t just follow in its footsteps, it surpassed them in spectacular fashion.

The Guinness World Record for DAMAC Islands (Phase 1)

When DAMAC launched Phase 1 of DAMAC Islands, it set a new international benchmark with:

  • $2.78 billion (AED 10.23B) in sales

  • Achieved in just 24 hours

  • Earning DAMAC the Guinness World Records™ title

This achievement was not just a record—it was a statement. It demonstrated the rising global demand for luxury waterfront communities in Dubai and the international trust in DAMAC’s vision.

Receiving the Guinness award during the Phase 2 launch added an emotional and symbolic layer: This community, born from an idea, built with ambition is now a globally recognized success story.

A New Milestone: DAMAC Islands 2 Breaks the Previous Record in Just 5 Hours

While DAMAC Islands Phase 1 earned the Guinness title, it was DAMAC Islands 2 that shattered the previous sales benchmark.

Last time, DAMAC achieved $2.78 billion in 24 hours.

This year, DAMAC achieved:

+$3 billion (+ AED 11B) in only 5 hours

A new internal record that outperformed the original Guinness-winning milestone

This is not just faster. It is not just bigger. It is proof that DAMAC Islands has evolved into one of the most sought-after waterfront investments in the Middle East.

Why DAMAC Islands 2 Is Surpassing All Expectations

The extraordinary demand for DAMAC Islands 2 is not accidental—it’s the result of a visionary masterplan, a rare coastal location, and the strong investor confidence built after the sold-out success of DAMAC Islands Phase 1. This new chapter introduces a refined eco-luxury living concept, enhanced architecture, and a strategic investment opportunity backed by performance, returns, and global appeal.

1. A Master Community Inspired by the World’s Most Iconic Islands

DAMAC Islands was envisioned as Dubai’s answer to the world’s most breathtaking island destinations, Maldives, Seychelles, Hawaii, Bali, Bora Bora, and beyond. Phase 2 elevates this vision with eight themed islands shaped around eco-living, tropical architecture, and wellness-driven design, creating a lifestyle that blends natural tranquility with contemporary Dubai luxury.

2. Exceptional Waterfront Living

DAMAC Islands 2 continues the community’s signature lagoon lifestyle, offering:

Crystal-clear lagoons and swimmable waterfronts

Private sandy beaches

Palm-lined promenades and lush green trails

Resort-style leisure zones and wellness areas

Boutique retail and dining experiences

It’s not simply waterfront living, it’s completely immersive island living, crafted for residents who want privacy, nature, and luxury in one destination.

3. Larger Family-Focused Homes with Eco-Luxury Design

Phase 2 introduces expansive 5- 6-bedroom villas and 4, 5 bedroom townhouses for sale designed for family living. Each home features cross-ventilated layouts, sustainable materials, panoramic glazing, and refined finishes such as Calacatta Gold porcelain, walnut veneer detailing, and spa-inspired bathrooms.

These homes are built not just for comfort—but for long-term value, rental appeal, and sustainable living.

4. Unmatched Lifestyle Appeal

Residents enjoy the full spectrum of island experiences: sunrise walks along the lagoon, nature parks, wellness hubs, botanical gardens, eco-adventure zones, and resort-inspired amenities. Every element is designed around the five eco-living pillars: Nature, Wellness, Adventure, Social, and Cultural, making DAMAC Islands 2 one of Dubai’s most multi-dimensional lifestyle destinations.

5. Strategic Location at Dubai Islands

DAMAC Islands 2 combines the serenity of Private Island living with direct access to the city’s most important hubs, including Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai, Expo City, and the international airports.

This rare blend of coastal privacy + urban connectivity supports high rental demand, strong resale value, and long-term capital appreciation.

The Power of Momentum: How DAMAC Islands 2 Became a Record-Breaking Launch

Breaking $3 billion in sales in just 5 hours is more than a market response—it reflects a shift in global investment behavior. DAMAC Islands 2 is benefiting from powerful forces that continue to elevate its position as Dubai’s fastest-growing waterfront destination.

Global Investor Confidence

The Guinness-recognized success of DAMAC Islands Phase 1 created worldwide anticipation. International buyers trust DAMAC’s legacy—49,000+ delivered units, global brand partnerships, and award-winning design execution.

A Proven Waterfront Destination

Phase 1’s performance established DAMAC Islands as a premier luxury address, creating pent-up demand for Phase 2’s refined offerings and improved masterplan.

Scarcity of Eco-Luxury, Island-Style Homes

Dubai has very few true island and lagoon communities with this level of scale and design innovation. Limited supply + global demand = exceptional investment potential.

High ROI and Appreciation Potential

Projected 8–10% rental returns and up to 40% capital appreciation make DAMAC Islands 2 one of Dubai’s strongest off-plan opportunities.

DAMAC’s Reputation and Vision

Each new launch pushes boundaries in architecture, sustainability, and lifestyle design—cementing DAMAC’s leadership in ultra-luxury waterfront development.
