A fully furnished, Vacant on Transfer (VOT) hotel apartment studio in Artesia Tower A, DAMAC Hills — 491 sq ft with a lagoon-facing balcony, covered parking, and zero CapEx from day one, at AED 500,000. This turnkey furnished studio for sale in Artesia DAMAC Hills is not a standard residential entry point. It is a high-liquidity, dual-income-model asset: operate it through the managed hotel rental pool for hands-off passive income, or run it independently as a holiday home at a premium daily rate. Either way, the furniture is already there, the transfer is immediate, and there is zero gap between closing and your first rental cheque.
Property Highlights
- Price: AED 500,000 — a high-liquidity entry point into an established Dubai golf community with zero additional outlay required
- Status: Vacant on Transfer (VOT) — ready immediately; no outgoing tenant, no waiting period, no stale inventory
- Zero CapEx: Fully furnished, fitted, and operational — zero outlay for furniture, zero procurement time, zero gap between transfer and first rental income
- The Space Premium: 491 sq ft — materially larger than the sub-400 sq ft studios that crowd this price band; tenants and buyers notice instantly
- Lagoon View: Calm, open, water-facing outlook — differentiates this unit from internal-facing and road-facing alternatives at the same price in DAMAC Hills
- Dual Income Model: Hotel apartment classification = managed pool (passive) OR independent holiday home (active premium rate) — legal flexibility standard residential studios do not carry
- Balcony: Private lagoon-facing terrace — extends the usable footprint and anchors the listing photography
- Parking: 1 covered allocated space — secured and included
The Zero-CapEx Advantage
Most investors mentally add AED 30,000–60,000 to any unfurnished studio price for furniture, appliances, and DEWA setup before they can earn a dirham. This unit eliminates that calculation entirely. At AED 500,000, you acquire a fully furnished, operational hotel apartment studio with a lagoon view in DAMAC Hills — and the next step after transfer is leasing, not shopping. That is the financial logic behind the price, and it holds up against any comparable studio in the community.
Why This Studio Stands Out
- VOT means the yield clock starts at transfer: No furnishing lag, no fit-out timeline — the asset is income-ready the day it is yours
- Hotel apartment = two legal income models: Managed rental pool for hands-off returns, or holiday home operation for a higher daily rate ceiling — standard residential studios offer neither
- Lagoon view at AED 500K is the rarest combination in Artesia: Internal-facing units are available cheaper; lagoon-facing stock at this price point is consistently the first to move in this building
- 491 sq ft outperforms the majority of sub-AED 550K studio stock in Dubai: The footprint is a genuine listing and leasing advantage — visible in every portal comparison a prospective tenant makes
- DAMAC Hills is a mature, fully operational community: No construction uncertainty, no infrastructure lag — Trump International Golf Club, parks, retail, and dining are all in place and have been for years
Best Suited For
- The income-first investor: A buyer who wants a zero-CapEx, transfer-ready rental asset with dual income model flexibility — the hotel apartment classification and fully furnished condition make this the shortest path from AED 500,000 to recurring rental income available in DAMAC Hills today
- The lifestyle entry-buyer: A first Dubai property buyer who wants an established golf-community address, a lagoon view, and full furnishing in place — with no off-plan timeline risk and no fit-out decision to make
- The portfolio diversification buyer: An investor adding a low-ticket, high-liquidity, turnkey hotel apartment in a mature community — the DAMAC Hills address, the hotel classification, and the lagoon aspect all support a credible resale narrative regardless of broader market conditions
Building & Community
- In Artesia: Temperature-controlled swimming pool, fully equipped gym, shared spa, children’s pool, children’s play area, 24/7 security and CCTV, elegant lobby — a complete in-building amenity stack supporting resident living and a credible holiday-home listing
- In DAMAC Hills: Trump International Golf Club, DAMAC Hills Park, jogging tracks, open green spaces, retail, supermarkets, and dining — a self-contained, fully operational lifestyle community that has been active for years, not a development promise
- Community maturity as an investment advantage: No growing pains, no construction noise, no question about what daily life here looks and feels like — DAMAC Hills is a known, documented, consistently tenanted residential destination
Location & Connectivity

What Investors Usually Ask
Q: What is a hotel apartment and why does the classification matter for a buyer at Artesia DAMAC Hills? A: A hotel apartment in Dubai is a regulated asset class that allows the unit to operate through a managed hotel rental pool or be leased independently as a furnished holiday home. This gives the buyer two distinct income models — hands-off passive returns via the pool, or a premium daily rate via independent holiday-home operation — a flexibility that standard residential studios in DAMAC Hills legally cannot offer.
Q: Is this studio a strong buy-to-let investment at AED 500,000 in DAMAC Hills? A: Yes — a fully furnished, lagoon-facing, Vacant on Transfer hotel apartment studio at AED 500,000 in Artesia A is a zero-CapEx, dual-income-model asset in an established golf community. The furnished condition eliminates fit-out cost and the VOT status means the yield clock starts at transfer. IST can provide the exact yield projection for both income models before you commit.
Q: What amenities does a buyer or tenant actually access in Artesia and DAMAC Hills? A: In Artesia: temperature-controlled pool, fully equipped gym, shared spa, children’s pool, children’s play area, and 24/7 security. In DAMAC Hills: Trump International Golf Club, DAMAC Hills Park, jogging tracks, open green spaces, retail, supermarkets, and dining — a fully operational, self-contained lifestyle community with years of established use behind it.
