Maserati Island: a private island off Dubai — The world's first Maserati residences, on an island of their own
A whole island of The World Islands, a few kilometres off the Dubai coast, signed by SAMANA Collecta and Maserati. You arrive by sea, at the Il Tridente marina. Four beaches, a lagoon, more than 80 amenities, and homes from suites to villas set on the water.
- Suites from AED 1.5M, one-bedroom from AED 2.1M (official prices)
- Non-PDC plan: 50% paid after handover
- Your residence key = Maserati Island Owners Club UAE membership
- DLD-registered project, payments into an escrow account
You don't arrive at Maserati Island. You come ashore.
SAMANA Collecta tells the island in four movements, like a crossing. Here is what awaits you, in the developer's own words.
- Il Benvenuto · the welcome : The journey is part of it: Dubai falls away, the air turns to salt, a white wake across turquoise water. You come ashore at Il Tridente, the island's marina.
- La Spiaggia · the beach : Four beaches, a lagoon, pools from infinity to plunge, and a rhythm that follows the tide.
- La Tranquillità · the calm : The standard Maserati has held since 1914: lean planning, bespoke touches, technology folded quietly in.
- La Chiave · the key : Your residence key also opens membership of the Maserati Island Owners Club UAE: scenic drives, events, getaways and VIP passes.
A home signed twice
SAMANA Collecta is SAMANA's high-end signature, kept for a select few residences. Maserati Island is its first project, and Maserati's first residential living destination in the world. Architecture by Carlo Colombo (A++ Studio), interiors furnished with Giorgetti Maserati Edition pieces, and six buildings named after the marque's cars: Mistral, Ghibli, Bora, Levante, Grecale and Shamal.
- Gardens drawn from six Maserati cars of the 1950s and 1960s: the pool follows the lines of the Tipo 61 Birdcage
- Places named after the marque: Il Tridente (marina), Mille Miglia (running route), Folgore (sports club), 1914 (residents' lounge)
- Developer registered with the DLD: SAMANA LUX REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS L.L.C, within Nakheel's The World master plan

Two official plans, one with 50% after handover
SAMANA Collecta offers a post-dated cheque plan (5% on booking, then 1% a month) and a non-PDC plan (10% on booking, 50% paid after handover). Pick a residence and compare.
PDC plan (post-dated cheques)
- On booking : 5%
- Months 6, 12 and 18 : 3 × 5% = 15%
- Every month, months 1 to 80 : 80 × 1% = 80%
Non-PDC plan
- On booking : 10%
- Month 2 : 5%
- Then every six months : 7 × 5% = 35%
- After handover : 25 × 2% = 50%
Calculated on the starting prices and the two plans published by SAMANA Collecta. The 4% Dubai Land Department fee is set by the DLD; fixed registration fees are added. The dated schedule of each unit is in the sale and purchase agreement.
What you pay on top of the price

“Maserati Island is a rare thing in Dubai: a whole island, a car marque signing the architecture and the interiors, and a plan that leaves 50% to pay after handover. It is a conviction, long-term purchase: I help you pick the residence and the plan that fit you, with official figures only.” — Ahmed Benjas, Co-founder & CEO, Cevitas Real Estate
