Italian automaker Maserati, in partnership with property developer Samana, has unveiled plans for a luxury residential development called Maserati Island at Dubai’s The World Islands. The project will feature 840 Maserati-branded residences, seven private overwater villas, two treehouse villas and amenities including private beaches, a floating restaurant and marine transport services.

According to an official Maserati statement issued on Monday, November 9, 2026, the company will develop the project in partnership with SAMANA COLLECTA, the newly launched ultra-luxury property brand of Samana Developers.

The development will be built at Dubai’s The World Islands archipelago and will feature Italian-inspired architecture and design intended for year-round living.

Initial Launch of 232 Homes with Private Pools

Under the announced plan, the project’s first launch phase will comprise 232 homes, ranging from studios to one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments.

All homes in this phase will feature private pools and are designed to offer unobstructed sea views.

In addition to the 840 branded residences, the project will include seven private overwater villas and two treehouse villas set amid landscaped greenery.

Interiors Inspired by Maserati’s Identity

The interiors of the residences and shared spaces will feature furniture from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition collection, launched in 2025 through a collaboration between the Italian brands Giorgetti and Maserati.

The development’s architecture and interior design have been overseen by Carlo Colombo, an architect at A++ studio.

Materials including leather, moulded wood and bespoke finishes are planned throughout the spaces to reflect Maserati’s design characteristics and visual identity in a residential setting.

The developers said their aim is to create a year-round residential community rather than a resort or holiday retreat.

Private Beaches, Central Lagoon and Floating Restaurant

Under the announced plans, Maserati Island will offer a range of leisure, recreational and service amenities.

These will include private beaches, a central lagoon, swimming pools, a beach club, a floating Italian restaurant, wellness centres, a spa and indoor and outdoor sports facilities.

A private jetty will also provide access to water activities and sports.

Other planned amenities include executive co-working spaces, retail outlets and dedicated concierge services for residents.

The developers said the facilities are designed to meet residents’ everyday needs and make year-round island living possible.

Daily Transport for Residents by Luxury Yacht

One of the project’s main features will be its connection to mainland Dubai.

Under the announced plan, residents will be able to use dedicated luxury yacht services to travel between Maserati Island and mainland Dubai.

The services are designed to support daily travel by sea and connect residents with other parts of the city.

Marine transport will therefore form part of everyday life at the development.

Maserati and Samana Partner in Dubai’s Ultra-Luxury Property Market

Imran Farooq, chief executive of Samana Developers, described the partnership with Maserati as a milestone for the new SAMANA COLLECTA brand.

He said the brand was launched to develop projects focused on bespoke design, the prestige of international brands and distinctive lifestyle offerings.

Santo Ficili, chief executive of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, said the Maserati Island project marked a new step in the development of the Casa Maserati concept, which aims to extend the brand’s identity into the world of Italian luxury living.

He said the partnership with SAMANA COLLECTA offered an opportunity to take Maserati’s values and identity beyond the automotive sector and into residential spaces.

Branded Residential Projects Expand in Dubai

Maserati Island has been unveiled as partnerships between property developers and international luxury brands increasingly shape Dubai’s ultra-luxury real estate market.

Such projects incorporate the names and identities of prominent brands into residential architecture, interior design, amenities and bespoke services.

Brands in the automotive, fashion and hospitality industries are also using these partnerships to expand their commercial presence into residential property.

For Maserati, the project offers an opportunity to bring the brand’s design characteristics and heritage into residents’ living environment while expanding its lifestyle activities.

Residential Handover to Begin in 2030

Under the announced schedule, handovers of the project’s branded residences are expected to begin in 2030.

The timeline refers to the start of handovers and does not mean that every part of the project will be completed at the beginning of 2030.

Once developed, Maserati Island will join Dubai’s growing portfolio of branded residential projects, combining year-round living, exclusive amenities and marine links to the mainland in a single development.
