Luxury property Dubai

Luxury property Dubai, Italian style

Luxury property Dubai has a new name to follow, and it comes from Modena. On November 9, 2026, Maserati and SAMANA COLLECTA, the new ultra-premium brand of SAMANA Developers, unveiled Maserati Island, the first residential destination to carry the Italian carmaker's name. It rises on The World Islands, the archipelago of man-made islands a short boat ride off the Dubai coast.

The plan is for 840 branded residences, seven water villas and two tree villas. The first release brings 232 residences, from studios to four-bedroom homes, each with its own private pool. Prices have not been published, and the branded residences are scheduled to be ready from 2030.

Designed around the sea

According to the announcement, every home is oriented toward the water, with generous glazing and open views across the Gulf. The interiors are led by the Italian architect Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio, and both the apartments and the shared lounges are furnished from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition collection, so the island carries the same sense of Italian craft as the cars.

Imran Farooq, chief executive of SAMANA Developers, called the partnership a defining milestone. Santo Ficili, chief executive of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, described Maserati Island as an important step in the journey that began with Casa Maserati, the brand's lifestyle world, and Cristiano Fiorio, Maserati's chief marketing officer, called it one of the first tangible expressions of Casa Maserati.

Branded residences Dubai keeps reaching higher

Maserati Island joins a long line of branded residences Dubai has welcomed in recent years, from fashion houses and jewelers to hotel names and now a carmaker, each bringing its own design language to new developments Dubai buyers can choose from. Our guide to branded residences in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Riyadh explains how these homes work, and our Dubai real estate investment guide covers freehold areas, off-plan buying and service charges.

For buyers from the United States, a home of this kind can also open the door to long-term residency; read our guide to the UAE golden visa and residency by investment. And for a closer look at the city's newest hotel and residence addresses, see our story on the Capella retreat planned for Dubai Peninsula.
