A short, considered list of what makes this project worth your attention.
01
The Lagoons, Dubai's Mediterranean quarter
DAMAC Lagoons is a 45-million-square-foot master community built around swimmable lagoons, white-sand beaches and themed clusters inspired by the Italian, Spanish and Portuguese coast. Sorrento is the Italian riviera cluster, sunsets, cypress trees, pastel balconies and a resident-only beach club.
02
Signature curved architecture
The façade language is unmistakeably coastal, flowing white terraces, deep-set balconies, arched entries. Every apartment is designed with lagoon or garden sight-lines; corner units capture both.
03
Resort-grade amenities as standard
Infinity-edge lagoon pool, aqua-fitness lane, floating wellness pods, open-air cinema, resident clubhouse, jogging loop around the lagoon, co-working lounge, kids' club. Nothing is upsold, it's all built into the service charge.
04
DAMAC's most liveable entry price
DAMAC rarely launches at AED 1.2M for a 1BR with full lagoon amenities. The pricing is deliberately set below the AED 2M Golden Visa threshold on 1BRs, all 2BRs cross it. The payment plan gives you three years before full capital is committed.
Payment plan
60/40, generous terms, lagoon living.
A measured 60/40 plan tied to construction milestones, with a 20% post-handover tail spread over 24 months. Rare on a project of this calibre, DAMAC built it this way to give international buyers room to breathe between booking and move-in.

Who it’s for
Built for serious international buyers.
Indian investors starting a Dubai portfolio
AED 1.2M entry sits inside a single-year LRS allocation (USD 250K per person). First-time Dubai buyers often start with a 1BR here, then upgrade to the AED 2M Golden Visa tier on their second purchase. Zero UAE income tax on rental; projected 6–8% gross yield.
UK end-users escaping Section 24
From roughly GBP 260,000 per 1BR, Sorrento sits well under London prime per-square-foot but delivers 2× the yield. No stamp duty, no 60% ABSD-style surcharge, no mortgage interest restriction. Rental covered by UK–UAE DTAA.
Singapore buyers after a lifestyle second home
If you can't rationalise another SG condo at 2.5% yield, Sorrento gives you a Mediterranean-styled branded apartment with resort amenities for roughly SGD 440K entry, plus 2–3× the gross yield and a USD-pegged currency.
Families relocating from the GCC
Kids' club, open-air cinema, 24/7 security, aqua-fitness, walkable lagoon, essentially a holiday-village lifestyle on your doorstep. 15 minutes to Expo City, 20 minutes to Dubai Hills Mall, 30 minutes to Downtown.

Who is the developer of Sorrento?
Sorrento is developed by DAMAC Properties, one of Dubai's three largest listed real-estate developers with a 20-year track record of delivered off-plan projects. Sorrento sits within DAMAC Lagoons, DAMAC's 45-million-sq-ft Mediterranean master community.
Where is Sorrento located?
DAMAC Lagoons is in the Dubailand area, close to Dubai Sports City and Dubai Studio City. Approximately 15 minutes to Expo City, 20 minutes to Al Maktoum International Airport, 25 minutes to Dubai Marina and 30 minutes to Downtown Dubai.
What is the starting price at Sorrento?
1-bedroom apartments start from approximately AED 1.2 million. 2-bedroom units start higher and cross the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold. Final per-unit pricing varies by floor, orientation and lagoon views, Spheron can share the current live price list on request.
What is the payment plan?
A 60/40 plan: 20% at booking, 40% milestone-linked during construction, 20% on handover and the final 20% spread over 24 months post-handover. One of the more buyer-friendly plans DAMAC has offered on a lagoon-view project.
When is handover projected?
Q2 2028. Milestone timelines are confirmed and tied to the Sale & Purchase Agreement.
Does Sorrento qualify for the UAE Golden Visa?
Any unit priced AED 2 million or above qualifies the buyer (plus spouse, children and parents) for the 10-year renewable UAE Golden Visa. All 2BRs and select higher-floor 1BRs cross this threshold.
What amenities are included at Sorrento?
Infinity-edge lagoon pool, aqua-fitness lane, floating wellness pods, open-air cinema, resident clubhouse, jogging and cycling loop around the lagoon, co-working lounge, kids' club, 24/7 security, EV charging. All included in the service charge, nothing is upsold.
How does Sorrento compare to DAMAC's other Lagoons clusters?
Earlier DAMAC Lagoons releases (Venice, Portofino, Santorini) were primarily villas and townhouses. Sorrento is the apartment phase, targeted at buyers who want the lagoon lifestyle at a lower entry price, with Golden Visa eligibility on 2BRs.
Can international buyers purchase at Sorrento?
Yes. DAMAC Lagoons is a designated freehold area, any foreign national (Indian, UK, Singaporean, GCC, etc.) can own 100% freehold with title registered at the Dubai Land Department. No UAE residency or local sponsor required.
What rental yield should I expect at Sorrento?
Based on comparable DAMAC Lagoons and nearby lagoon-themed launches, Sorrento is projected at 6–8% gross yield at handover. Short-let (vacation rental) performance tends to run higher on amenity-rich lagoon projects. Spheron can model unit-specific projections.
How much deposit is required to reserve a unit?
A 20% booking payment reserves the unit under a Sale & Purchase Agreement. On a 1BR at AED 1.2M, that's approximately AED 240,000. Spheron handles the SPA, DLD Oqood registration and milestone payment reminders through handover.
Is there a brokerage fee when buying at Sorrento?
No. Spheron is a RERA-licensed brokerage (ORN 59116) and is paid directly by DAMAC on completed sales. You pay the same price as DAMAC's own sales office, but with independent advice, launch pricing access and transaction support.
Can I buy at Sorrento from outside the UAE?
Yes. The purchase can be completed remotely via a Power of Attorney attested at a UAE Embassy in your country. We recommend one physical visit before completing the SPA, but it is not legally required.
What ROI should an Indian investor expect from Sorrento?
6–8% gross rental yield in AED (zero UAE income tax), versus 2.5–3.5% in prime Mumbai or Bengaluru taxed at 30% marginal rates. On a net-of-tax basis Dubai delivers roughly 2.5–3× the income return, plus USD-pegged AED exposure vs INR.
What ROI should a UK buyer expect from Sorrento?
Prime London yields have compressed to under 4% after Section 24; Sorrento projects at 6–8% gross. No UK-style stamp duty, one-time 4% DLD transfer fee only. UK–UAE DTAA avoids double taxation. For UK non-residents (properly split-year), Dubai rental generally falls outside UK tax.
