About the Portofino Cluster

Portofino is one of the themed sub-clusters within DAMAC Lagoons, the Mediterranean-inspired masterplanned community adjacent to DAMAC Hills. The cluster draws its design language from the Italian coastal town of the same name, and homes typically sit around lagoon water features with shared amenity areas. Property types available for resale include townhouses and villas ranging from three to seven bedrooms, with larger waterfront plots commanding a significant premium — reflected in the DLD maximum prices above.

Understanding the DAMAC Lagoons Portofino Resale Market

All 59 DLD transactions recorded in the trailing 12 months to June 2026 were classified as ready or plot sales, with an offplan share of 0% in the dataset — indicating that secondary-market activity, rather than new developer launches, has been driving recorded volumes in this window. Buyers considering Portofino should be aware of several practical points:

  • Plot vs. built villa: A portion of DLD transactions represent bare plot purchases. Buyers acquiring a plot will need to factor in construction costs and timelines separately from the land price.
  • Wide price range: The gap between median (AED 2,675,000 over three months) and the recorded maximum (AED 10,500,000) reflects meaningful variation in plot size, lagoon frontage, and built-up area. Waterfront or corner plots command a clear premium.
  • No per-sqft benchmark available: Because DLD classifies these as land transactions, per-sqft pricing is not calculable from the public dataset. C&B advisors can provide unit-level resale comparables from live listings where available.
  • Transfer fees and costs: Standard DLD transfer fees of 4% apply on the declared sale price, plus trustee and agent fees. Budget accordingly when comparing headline prices.

Resale vs. Off-Plan in Portofino

The DLD data for this cluster currently shows 0% off-plan share across all recorded windows, meaning secondary (resale) transactions dominate the public record. If you are weighing a resale purchase against buying directly from DAMAC Properties, the key differences are: resale units offer immediate title transfer and no developer payment-plan lock-in, while new developer units may carry post-handover plans and potential for specification upgrades. C&B operates exclusively in the secondary market, so our advice is focused on helping you identify well-priced resale stock relative to the DLD benchmarks above.

The Portofino cluster includes townhouses and villas, typically ranging from three to seven bedrooms. DLD transaction records also show bare plot sales, which allow buyers to purchase land and build. C&B's current listings cover the secondary market for both built homes and plots within the cluster.

What is the typical price for a property in DAMAC Lagoons Portofino?

Prices ranged from AED 873,000 to AED 10,500,000 over that 12-month window, reflecting differences in plot size and lagoon frontage. Note that DLD classifies these as land/plot transactions, so per-sqft figures are not available.

Is DAMAC Lagoons Portofino primarily an off-plan or a resale market?

This makes Portofino a genuine resale market, and C&B operates exclusively in this secondary segment.

Are per-sqft prices available for Portofino properties?

Not from the DLD public dataset for this cluster. DLD classifies Portofino transactions as land or plot registrations, for which only total prices are recorded. For built-villa per-sqft comparables, speak with a C&B advisor who can reference live listing data alongside the DLD benchmarks.

What additional costs should I budget for when buying in Portofino?

The standard DLD transfer fee is 4% of the declared sale price. You should also factor in trustee office fees, agent commission (typically 2%), and any mortgage arrangement fees if financing the purchase. These costs are on top of the headline prices shown in DLD transaction data.

How does the Portofino cluster differ from other DAMAC Lagoons sub-communities?

Portofino is one of several Mediterranean-themed clusters within DAMAC Lagoons, each inspired by a different coastal destination. Portofino's design references the Italian Riviera. In terms of pricing data, C&B can only speak to the Portofino DLD record directly — benchmarks for other clusters may differ materially. Consult a C&B advisor for a cross-cluster comparison.
