Maserati Plans Branded Residential Island in Dubai

Maserati and Samana Collecta unveil Maserati Island at Dubai’s World Islands, featuring 840 branded residences, nine exclusive villas and Italian-inspired amenities, with the first homes scheduled for handover from 2030.

Maserati has partnered with Samana Collecta, the ultra-premium real estate brand of Samana Developers, to introduce Maserati Island, a branded residential development in Dubai’s World Islands. The project will comprise 840 residences, seven water villas and two tree villas, bringing the Italian automotive brand’s design identity and luxury lifestyle concept into the residential real estate sector.

Located off Dubai’s coastline, the island development is master-planned with Italian-inspired landscaping and a collection of residences ranging from studios to four-bedroom homes. The first phase will introduce 232 residences, each featuring a private swimming pool and designed to maximise uninterrupted sea views through expansive glazing and open layouts. The branded residences are scheduled to be ready for handover starting in 2030.

The development draws on Maserati’s heritage of Italian craftsmanship, elegance and Gran Turismo design. Residential interiors and communal lounges will feature furnishings from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition collection, developed through collaboration between the two Italian brands in 2025. Architect Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio is leading the integrated interior design, incorporating sculptural forms, premium materials, tactile leather and refined wood finishes.

Maserati Island is planned as a year-round residential destination with a range of hospitality, wellness and recreational facilities. Its amenities will include private beaches, a central lagoon, resort swimming pools, a beach club, holistic spas and indoor and outdoor fitness spaces. A dedicated water-sports marina, executive co-working lounges, retail outlets and concierge services will also support residents' everyday requirements.

The island's culinary and social offerings will include a signature floating Italian restaurant, positioning dining and hospitality as central elements of the residential experience. Dedicated luxury yacht shuttles will connect the island with mainland Dubai, providing residents with a coastal transport link.

SAMANA Developers CEO Imran Farooq says the partnership represents an important milestone for the company's premium real estate brand, combining Maserati's Italian design heritage with SAMANA's master-planning capabilities.
