Maserati, the Italian carmaker, is partnering with SAMANA COLLECTA to develop a residential island in Dubai, featuring 840 apartments and nine villas. The project, called Maserati Island, is the carmaker’s first residential living destination and is scheduled to be completed by 2030.
The island will be located at The World Islands in Dubai and will feature a range of amenities, including private beaches, a central lagoon, resort pools, and a marina for water sports. The residences will be designed to reflect the Trident’s cultural identity, with Italian-inspired landscaping and interior design schemes curated by Architect Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio.
Maserati Island’s Luxury Features
The masterplan for Maserati Island includes seven water villas and two tree villas, which will be ultra-exclusive and set among greenery. The first release of residences will feature 232 units, each with its own pool, in studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, three-bedroom, and four-bedroom layouts. Every home will be positioned to face uninterrupted sea views, with large areas of glazing, open floor plans, and long sightlines designed to echo the feeling of driving a grand tourer through the Italian countryside.
The interior design scheme will feature sculptural shapes, balanced proportions, fine materials, and careful detailing, with carved wood and dynamic forms paired with a measured mix of light, texture, color, and atmosphere. The rooms will be designed to appeal to the senses and reflect the Trident’s emotional modernity, with furniture from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition, a collection created by the two Italian companies in 2025.
As the project progresses, similar luxury developments in the region are worth examining, where high-end brands have partnered with real estate companies to create unique living experiences. In this context, Maserati Island’s focus on Italian craftsmanship, timeless elegance, and sensory appeal may set a new standard for luxury living in Dubai, where residents are increasingly seeking exclusive and bespoke experiences.

The hospitality offer at Maserati Island will go beyond exclusive services, taking in wellness, culture, food, and shared experiences, with several restaurants, including a signature floating Italian restaurant, and a beach club. Residents will also have access to executive co-working lounges, ultra-high-speed internet, everyday shops, and concierge services, with dedicated luxury yacht shuttles connecting the island to mainland Dubai.
Imran Farooq, CEO of SAMANA Developers, states that the partnership with Maserati represents a defining milestone for the luxury real estate sector of Dubai, with the project embodying the “life-first” philosophy of SAMANA COLLECTA. Santo Ficili, CEO of Alfa Romeo & Maserati, adds that the collaboration enables the company to bring the Trident’s identity and values to one of the most prestigious destinations in the world, giving life to a project as unique and extraordinary as Maserati’s cars.
Cristiano Fiorio, Chief Marketing Officer of Maserati and General Manager of BOTTEGAFUORISERIE, notes that Maserati Island is one of the first tangible expressions of Casa Maserati, bringing the company’s identity from the road into the living space. The attention to detail that sets Maserati’s cars apart will become a new way to experience the Maserati universe, further enhancing the company’s prestige and standing on the international stage, with the project scheduled to be ready from 2030.
Resort facilities and everyday infrastructure will be available to residents from the first handover, including holistic spas and indoor and outdoor fitness pavilions.
