Dubai’s World Islands is set for a new residential development worth more than AED4bn ($1.09bn), featuring 840 branded residences, floating villas and regular yacht connections to mainland Dubai.
SAMANA Developers has unveiled the project as the first development under SAMANA COLLECTA, its newly launched premium real estate brand.
The development will feature seven floating villas and two tree villas alongside apartments ranging from studios to four-bedroom homes. Prices are expected to start below AED2M ($544,000), with all residences planned to offer sea views.
The project is being designed as a year-round residential destination, rather than a location primarily for holidays or occasional visits. Regular yacht shuttle services are planned between the island and mainland Dubai at 30-minute intervals, with embarkation points to be announced closer to launch.
The development is set to include: multiple beaches, a lagoon, swimming pools, a beach club, water-sports facilities, spas and indoor and outdoor gyms.
