DAMAC Lagoons Portofino

About the Project

Portofino in DAMAC Lagoons is a collection of Italian-inspired townhouses and villas, which mix both luxury and comfort. The community is an ideal place for those who want to live away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Dubai, but at the same time still have the opportunity to get there within a short period of time. Portofino is a unique project by DAMAC Properties, who is one of the leading developers in Dubai, known for projects such as DAMAC Hills, The Legends, Cavalli Tower, Greenwoods, and many more. 

DAMAC Lagoons occupies about 42 million sq. ft and consists of several clusters reminiscent of selected Mediterranean towns. The Portofino cluster offers a mix of leisure and work activities that will provide its residents with maximum comfort. Future residents can choose from 3–5 bedroom townhouses and 7-bedroom villas within this cluster.

All units boast their own covered parking spaces, several balconies and terraces, as well as spacious rooms with big windows that will provide residents with maximum light. Five-bedroom units also come with a maid’s room with an en-suite bathroom, and all residents will have an opportunity to relax in their own private garden and build a private pool.

Villas are 3-storey residences in beige and brown tones with wooden textures. Residents of this unique unit will be provided with two living/dining areas, one for everyday family time, and the other for formal gatherings, as well as two kitchens, including a practical one and a show kitchen, a maid’s room and a driver’s room with en-suite bathrooms, and a games room. Residents will be able to relax on a pool deck near their private swimming pool whilst listening to the nearby waterfall which will be located in their private garden.
