Maserati Branded Residences in Dubai
The Maserati × Samana Collecta Partnership
Craft · Nov 10, 2026 · 6 MIN READ
Created with shared conviction.
Maserati Island brings the first Maserati branded residences to Dubai, on The World Islands, a few kilometres off the city’s coast. It is the first project to carry the Samana Collecta philosophy, the world’s first private Maserati Island and, as Maserati describes it, the first Maserati residential living destination. Two names share one belief: that life is best enjoyed in its smallest, most deliberate details. These are branded residences in the truest sense, where a way of living is translated from the road to the water.
This is the story of why the two came together, and what that means for the people who will call the island home.
Since 1914, Maserati has stood for culture, design and style. Its Tridente, which has marked every Maserati since 1926, carries the spirit of the sea in its very form. This year, the Tridente turns 100. Behind it lies a simple idea: dolce vita is life enjoyed in its smallest, most deliberate details, rather than rushed through in headlines and highlights.
Samana Collecta begins from the same place. Life comes first. Life sets the standard. Each location is chosen for the life it enables, and each partner for the culture and refinement it brings.
The meeting was natural. One brand has spent more than a century perfecting how a journey should feel. The other exists to shape how a life should feel at home. Maserati Island is where those two intentions meet, and where the Tridente finds its natural home on the water.
Many branded residential projects borrow a name. Here, the brand shapes the way the island is drawn, planted and lived in.
The buildings, designed by Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio, are inspired by Maserati’s design language: form, line and proportion, carried with the same precision from the road to the water. Stacked decks and open terraces carry each home toward the water. Each of the six buildings takes its name from a Maserati: Mistral, Ghibli, Bora, Levante, Grecale and Shamal.
Six celebrated Maserati cars from the 1950s and 1960s become gardens. White jasmine and blue jacquemontia for the Zagato. Bird of paradise and copper-red foliage for the 3500 GT. Plumbago, tall palms and purple tradescantia for the Spyder. The 250F becomes a lawn drawn from its silhouette, and the Tipo 61 Birdcage a pool that follows its lines. [Sixth car and its garden]
Inside, the wheel of a Maserati becomes the helm of a private yacht. The interiors are where Maserati’s hand is most direct. They are furnished with Giorgetti Maserati Edition pieces and built on three principles:
Even the words are Italian. The places residents gather carry names from the marque’s history. Il Tridente is the arrival marina. Mille Miglia is the running route, after the 1,000-mile Italian road race. Folgore is the sports club, and 1914 is the residents’ lounge, named for the year Maserati was founded.
For the people who live here, the Maserati name is not a badge on the door. It is a rhythm to the day.
You might find it in the morning coffee taken slowly on the terrace, already looking forward to dinner. In an aperitivo at sunset, sip by sip, with no rush. In the way the island asks you to ease off the throttle and move at your own pace. Leggerezza, luminosità, vitalità: lightness, light and vitality.
Every residence key opens two doors. One is your home. The other is membership of the Maserati Island Owners Club UAE, a passport to the wider world of Maserati across Dubai and the Northern Emirates:
Belonging here is shared: on the crossing, by the sea, at the table and into the evening. It is a membership based on who you are, how you live, and where you belong.
Maserati Island sits on The World Islands, the archipelago of around 300 man-made islands off Dubai’s coast, shaped as a map of the world. Residents arrive by sea at Il Tridente, the island’s marina.
A Samana Collecta residence is signed by its maker. On Maserati Island, it carries a second signature too. For collectors who appreciate the maker, the provenance and the finish, that is the point.
Maserati Island is a considered life, given form, with a second signature beside our own. Register your interest to receive the brochure and to be invited to discover life on the island. For residence types, sizes and the payment schedule, read Maserati Island prices and payment plans.
