Damac Lagoons is designed as a community of distinct clusters rather than focusing on famous individual buildings or skyscrapers. The most recognizable features are the architecturally themed areas, like Venice with its canals and Santorini with its blue-and-white houses. Specific areas like the Portofino Work & Play Hub and floating amenities serve as the community's key architectural highlights.

As a relatively new and still-developing community, Damac Lagoons is largely considered an off-plan project. Numerous clusters, including Ibiza, Andalusia, Mykonos, and Monte Carlo, have been released in phases as off-plan developments. New off-plan launches also include apartment developments like Damac Lagoon Views, which offer residents different property options within the community.
