Damac Hills Mall: Ultimate Place to shop, dine, and relax.

If you live around Damac Hills, chances are you’ve already heard the buzz — or maybe even popped in yourself. But if not, let me catch you up: Damac Hills Mall opened its doors in September 2023, and it’s quickly becoming a favorite hangout for people in the area.

Tucked inside one of Dubai’s most upscale neighborhoods, this mall might not be the biggest in town, but it’s packed with the kind of shops, food, and services that actually make life easier — and a bit more fun.

So, what’s inside?

The mall stretches across 110,000 square feet, which means it’s not a mega-mall, but that’s part of the charm. It feels easy to walk through and isn’t overwhelming.

You’ve got a solid mix of shops — over 40 in total. Some are local, some are international, and they cover pretty much everything: clothes, tech, beauty stuff, home goods. There’s a Spinneys too — and not a small one. It’s a 28,000-square-foot supermarket right in the middle of it all, so groceries are a breeze.

Need a haircut? A wax? New specs? You’re covered with spots like Amber Gents Salon, American Wax, and Al Jaber Optical.

Where to eat

Let’s be real — sometimes the food is what really makes or breaks a mall. Damac Hills Mall has a nice mix of easy go-tos and a few interesting picks.

You’ll find the classics: Starbucks, Papa John’s, German Doner Kebab. But if you want something a little different, check out Vietnamese Foodies — big win if you’re into fresh and flavorful.

And if you’ve got kids in tow, there’s a fun indoor play area called Lingo Play that gives them space to run around while you sip that coffee in peace.

Wellness is a big deal here

This mall isn’t just about shopping and eating — it’s also got wellness baked into the design.

There’s a full Fitness First for women only, and it’s serious about the setup. We’re talking a proper gym with strength zones, a cardio area, and tons of classes like spin, barre, and TRX.

Right next door? An 8,000-sq-ft MEDCARE clinic. So if you need a quick health check, it’s right there — no long drives or appointments weeks out.

More than just a mall

What really makes this place stand out is the way it feels like a part of the neighborhood.

They host all kinds of events — think Christmas markets, Eid celebrations, and New Year’s parties with music, deals, and stuff for the kids. There are even workshops now and then — cooking, crafts, fitness, tech… whatever the community’s into.

They’ve also done some cool stuff for a good cause. One standout is the SPINNEYS Family Pink Run, which helps raise money for breast cancer awareness. All the entry fees went straight to the Al Jalila Foundation, which is a pretty awesome touch.

And for anyone living in a Damac property, the Client Happiness Centre is now inside the mall. So if you need help with payments or property stuff, you don’t have to go far.

Getting there’s pretty simple

It’s right off Al Qudra Road and Hessa Street, so whether you’re driving or hopping on public transport, it’s not hard to reach.

Driving? There’s plenty of parking — big bays, 24/7 security, and spaces for families and accessibility needs.
Bus rider? RTA buses stop close by (routes 7, 98E, F13).
Metro user? You’re about 15 minutes by car from Dubai Internet City Station or Burj Khalifa Station.

Inside the mall, you’ll find guest service desks, touchscreen maps, free Wi-Fi, and even power banks, strollers, and wheelchairs if you need them.

Looking ahead

Damac isn’t stopping with this one. They’ve got plans to roll out six more community malls like this one across the UAE. Why? Because the demand for local, easy-to-navigate shopping spots is growing — and fast.

In fact, the UAE’s retail market hit USD 30 billion in 2023, and it’s expected to keep rising. Damac Hills Mall is already pulling in over 1.3 million visitors a year, and that number’s only going up.

Final word

If you’re in the area — or even just curious — Damac Hills Mall is worth checking out. It’s not trying to be the flashiest mall in Dubai. It’s just smart, useful, and really well put together for everyday life.

Shopping, fitness, food, fun — it’s all here, and it’s only getting better.
