Properties for Sale in AKOYA Oxygen

AKOYA Oxygen is a residential community located 40 minutes away from Business Bay and Downtown Dubai. The project was developed and executed by DAMAC Properties, and the community is part of the Dubailand master development that features a well-designed entertainment infrastructure and residential buildings. The Dubailand project commenced in 2003. The plan, at the time, was to split the vast development into six thematic ‘worlds’ of residential neighbourhoods and landmarks. In the end, the initial plans were modified compared to the ones that were originally presented. However, projects, such as Dubailand Oasis, Living Legends, Villanova, and Al Waha, were ultimately included along with AKYOA Oxygen.

AKOYA Oxygen offers low-rise residential complexes surrounded by lush greenery. It’s an ideal location for tenants who value a calm environment and a suburban lifestyle. All units come with access to covered parking spaces, and villas and townhouses have their own private parking with a landscape garden. The community features unique green areas with plants originating from the subequatorial tropic zones.

The world-famous golf player Tiger Woods took part in the creation of the region’s 18-hole golf course, and the area has plans for a cricket pitch.

AKOYA Oxygen covers 1,235 acres of land. It features almost 30 sub-communities featuring villas and townhouses, as well as apartments and hotel complexes. At the moment, the construction has been completed for most of the community’s properties.

The community also offers all the necessary amenities for living a comfortable life. The area’s cascading waterfalls and fountains ensure a peaceful and tranquil environment, while each residential cluster has its own swimming pools, recreation areas, and secluded yoga studios. The master plan includes an elite spa complex, a shopping mall, independent retail stores, restaurants, a medical clinic, schools, and nurseries.

In 2020, the more affordable villas in Vardon and Albizia saw the highest demand in AKOYA Oxygen, and they averaged just over AED 1,000,000 (USD 270,000) for a three-bedroom villa. The more expensive villas in Claret, AKNAN Villas, and Just Cavalli were also quite popular during the same period. Vardon and Albizia are leading in townhouse sales due to their affordable prices.
