Samana Developers has announced the launch of Samana Colekta, its new luxury real estate brand, marking a significant new chapter in the company’s growth. The brand will focus on developing distinctive residential destinations in Dubai and selected international markets, bringing together exceptional locations, thoughtfully designed homes, and partnerships with leading global luxury brands.
The launch follows Samana Developers’ continued expansion in Dubai, where the company has established itself among the emirate’s top 10 real estate developers, with 54 projects launched to date. Through Samana Colekta, the company is introducing a more selective collection of residential developments, with a stronger emphasis on location, design, and the overall living experience.
The new brand will make its debut with a landmark development on Dubai’s World Islands, carrying a total development value of more than AED 4 billion. The project aims to combine the privacy of island living with the everyday amenities, services, and connections needed for year-round residential life.
Samana Colekta: A New Vision for Luxury Real Estate in Dubai
The introduction of Samana Colekta reflects Samana Developers’ plans to expand its presence in the luxury residential market through a collection of carefully selected developments.
Built around a philosophy of putting quality of life first, the brand will prioritize locations that offer the right setting for upscale living. Its approach focuses on bringing together the location, architectural design, and everyday residential experience to create a more considered living environment.
Rather than simply expanding its existing portfolio, Samana Developers intends to use the new brand to develop a more exclusive range of properties, supported by distinctive designs and collaborations with internationally recognized luxury brands.
This direction builds on the company’s experience in Dubai’s property market while opening a new phase of growth centered on selected luxury residential destinations.
Samana Colekta Project on The World Islands Valued at Over AED 4 Billion
Dubai’s World Islands will host the first development under the Samana Colekta brand, with a total development value exceeding AED 4 billion.
The project is planned to feature 840 branded residential units, seven floating villas, and additional uniquely designed villas, offering a mix of accommodation within a waterfront setting.
At the heart of the development is the idea of creating a residential destination where people can live comfortably throughout the year while enjoying the privacy and distinctive atmosphere of an island.
To support that vision, the project will bring together residential properties, leisure facilities, everyday services, and transportation connections.
The aim is to offer residents the advantages of island living without compromising access to the services and practical facilities that form part of their daily routines.
Imran Farooq: Samana Colekta Launch Reflects the Company’s Evolution
Imran Farooq, CEO of Samana Developers, said the launch of the new brand represents a natural progression for the company as it moves toward a more selective luxury property portfolio.
“Samana Colekta represents a natural evolution of our business. We have successfully built the capabilities and expertise needed to move forward with a more selective real estate portfolio, placing greater emphasis on location, design, and the integrated residential experience.”
Farooq added:
“Through our project on The World Islands, we aim to create a destination that residents can consider a permanent retreat throughout the year. This requires taking into account every detail of daily life, from transportation and essential services to spaces for work, wellness, and entertainment. We want residents to enjoy the privacy of the island and its distinctive character while remaining closely connected to the city of Dubai. This landmark project will help establish Samana Colekta’s presence in Dubai and lay the foundations for our expansion ambitions in selected international markets.”
The project’s plans reflect this focus on making the island suitable for permanent residential living, with transportation, essential services, workspaces, and leisure facilities forming part of the wider development.
Italian-Inspired Designs and Direct Sea Views
The Samana Colekta development on The World Islands will offer a variety of residential options, ranging from studios to one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, alongside floating villas and villas featuring distinctive designs.
All residences have been designed to provide direct sea views, with expansive glass facades, wide viewing angles, and carefully considered interior layouts.
The designs aim to strengthen the connection between indoor living spaces and the surrounding waterfront, allowing residents to enjoy the island’s coastal setting from their homes.
The residences are being developed in collaboration with a globally recognized Italian luxury brand known for its longstanding heritage in design and craftsmanship. The identity of the brand will be announced separately at a later stage.
Italian influences will also extend to the island’s outdoor spaces, with landscaped green areas inspired by Italian nature incorporated throughout the development.
These landscaped areas will connect residential and recreational facilities, contributing to a cohesive environment across the island.
Recreational Amenities and Integrated Services for Luxury Island Living
The project will feature a wide selection of recreational and wellness facilities designed to support a comfortable lifestyle throughout the year.
Planned amenities include multiple beaches, a beach lagoon, swimming pools, a beach club, and dedicated water sports facilities, providing residents with a variety of options for relaxation and outdoor activities.
Wellness facilities will include spas as well as indoor and outdoor fitness centers, giving residents access to spaces for exercise and personal well-being.
The development will also accommodate residents who prefer to work remotely or divide their time between professional commitments and island living.
Dedicated coworking spaces equipped with high-speed internet connectivity are planned as part of the project, allowing residents to work from the island while staying connected.
For everyday convenience, the development will include a dedicated welcome center, retail outlets, and essential services.
Samana Developers plans to have the main residential amenities and services operational from the time the homes are handed over, supporting the project’s goal of becoming a fully functioning residential destination rather than a seasonal retreat.
Floating Italian Restaurant and an Exceptional Hospitality Experience
Hospitality will also form an important part of the development, with a range of dining options planned to serve residents and visitors.
One of the project’s notable attractions will be a distinctive floating Italian restaurant, which is planned in collaboration with a hospitality partner holding a Michelin distinction.
The restaurant will add another dining option to the island, bringing together Italian cuisine and a setting surrounded by water.
Alongside the other planned restaurants and leisure facilities, the floating venue will contribute to the range of hospitality experiences available within the development.
Boat Transfers Every 30 Minutes Connecting the Project to Dubai
To make travel between the island and mainland Dubai more convenient, Samana Colekta plans to introduce a regular marine transportation service using yachts.
Under the proposed arrangement, yacht transfers will depart every 30 minutes, providing a connection between the residential destination and the Dubai mainland.
The company will announce the departure points ahead of the project’s official launch.
The planned transportation service is an important part of the development’s approach to year-round living, allowing residents to enjoy the island’s privacy while maintaining convenient access to Dubai.
Together with the on-site amenities and essential services, the marine transport connection is intended to make daily life on the island more practical for residents.
Samana Colekta Residential Prices to Start Below AED 2 Million
Residential unit prices at the new Samana Colekta development on The World Islands are expected to start at less than AED 2 million, offering different opportunities for buyers interested in owning property within the luxury waterfront destination.
The project’s residential selection will include studios, apartments with up to four bedrooms, floating villas, and other uniquely designed villas.
This range of properties will provide different ownership options within a development that combines direct sea views, thoughtfully designed residences, and a collection of planned lifestyle amenities.
The project forms part of Samana Developers’ broader move toward creating integrated luxury residential destinations, with an emphasis on combining premium locations and architectural design with the practical requirements of everyday living.
