When was DAMAC Lagoons Malta handed over?
Malta is a cluster of DAMAC Lagoons, the community opposite DAMAC Hills in Dubailand, themed on Malta’s stone buildings. DAMAC launched it with the Venice cluster in May 2022 (The National, 25 May 2022). Construction started in August 2022.
The Dubai Land Department (DLD) registers Malta in two phases. Both are now recorded as finished:
| Phase | Homes | DLD status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Malta 2 | 367 | Finished, 8 Apr 2026 | Real Estate Club Dubai DLD tracker |
| Malta 1 | 760 | Finished, 19 Jun 2026 | Real Estate Club Dubai, June 2026 handovers |
The registered completion date was 29 September 2025, so Malta 2 finished about six months after it and Malta 1 about nine months after it. Some property portals still list Malta as due in H2 2026. On the DLD register, the whole cluster is now finished.
DAMAC Lagoons Malta homes and sizes
Malta is mainly 4 bedroom townhouses, with a smaller number of 5 bedroom townhouses and a few large 7 bedroom villas. The sizes, counts and launch prices below come from DLD unit records for Malta 1 and 2, as republished by Data Habibi.
| Home type | Built-up area | Launch price | Homes in Malta 1 and 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 bed townhouse | About 2,220 sq ft | AED 1.75 million | 846 |

| 7 bed villa | About 7,492 sq ft | AED 7.99 million to AED 8.03 million | 35 |
Propsearch describes the 4 bedroom homes as two-storey and the 5 bedroom homes as three-storey. Most 4 bedroom townhouses sit on plots of about 1,550 sq ft.

Property Finder records the launch plan as 20% on booking, 70% during construction and 10% at handover. Launch adverts in 2022 also showed an 80/20 plan. DAMAC no longer has stock in Malta, so buyers today pay a resale price in cash or with a mortgage, plus the 4% DLD transfer fee.

What to check before buying at DAMAC Lagoons Malta
- Which phase the home is in. Malta 1 only finished on 19 June 2026, so some owners may still be waiting for title deeds.
- The title deed in the seller’s name, or the developer’s NOC if the deed has not yet been issued.
- The service charge statement for the unit, at the AED 4.3 per sq ft rate for Malta 2 or the rate that applies to Malta 1.
- The snagging record and any open defects claims under the developer’s warranty.
- Recent DLD sales for the same layout and plot size, since end units and larger plots sell for more.
