Maserati is moving from the driveway to the waterfront. The Italian carmaker has teamed up with SAMANA COLLECTA, the new ultra-premium arm of SAMANA Developers, to create Maserati Island, a residential destination in Dubai’s World Islands archipelago. For Maserati, the island is a way to translate more than a century of Italian design and craftsmanship into a home, extending the brand beyond cars.
What Is Planned
The island will hold 840 branded residences, along with seven water villas and two tree villas. The homes are set within landscaped surroundings. The first release covers 232 apartments, from studios to four-bedroom homes, each with a private pool and open sea views. The developers want the island to work as a year-round address rather than a holiday retreat.
Designed In Italian Style
Interiors will feature pieces from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition collection, a collaboration between the two Italian brands from 2025. Architect Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio has shaped the design concept, using leather, sculpted wood and bespoke finishes meant to echo the carmaker’s design language.
Life On The Island
Residents can expect private beaches, a central lagoon, swimming pools, a beach club and a floating Italian restaurant. Wellness is covered by holistic spas and indoor and outdoor fitness spaces, so the island is built to be lived on day to day rather than visited. A dedicated marina will offer water sports, while co-working lounges, retail outlets and concierge services handle everyday needs.
The commute is the most unusual part. Instead of a bridge or causeway, residents will travel to mainland Dubai on luxury yacht shuttles.

When Can Buyers Move In
Not soon. Buyers will need patience, as handover is still several years away. The branded residences are scheduled to be ready from 2030, and pricing has not been shared yet. Dubai’s branded residence market is crowded, and the World Islands have already drawn other big names, including the region’s first Buddha-Bar hotel and floating residences. Maserati’s bet is that a carmaker known for design can sell a way of living, not just a car.
