Overview

A Samana building of one- to four-bedroom apartments, most with private pools, on Dubai Islands. From AED 3.94 million on Samana's page, with handover in Q4 2027 and half the price paid after completion.

Samana Ocean Pearl is the first of Samana's waterfront projects on Dubai Islands, by Samana Developers. It is one building of one- to four-bedroom apartments, and it is further along than Samana's newer launches: Samana gives completion in Q4 2027 (Property Finder says Q4 2026). In November 2026 Property Finder still listed developer units in every bedroom type, and Samana's page showed a price without the sold-out label it applies to finished-selling projects.

Sizes start at 844 sq ft. The one-, two- and four-bedroom layouts come with private pools; the three-bedroom layout does not. On price, the sources differ. Samana's page gives AED 3,940,444 as the starting price, while Property Finder's developer listings quote from about AED 2.5 million for a one-bedroom, AED 3.9 million for a two-bedroom, AED 4.1 million for a three-bedroom and AED 4.3 million for a four-bedroom. Use Samana's live price list.

The plan puts half of the price after handover: 10% down, 5% in month 6, 1% a month for 15 months and 20% on handover, then 1% a month for 36 months plus 7% at months 12 and 24 after handover. For an investor, that means rent can start before most of the post-handover balance is paid, but it is still a three-year commitment after the keys.

Shared facilities include a leisure pool deck, children's pool, sun deck and green space, with smart-home systems and pod and bicycle parking.

Who it suits: a buyer who wants a pool apartment on Dubai Islands with a relatively near handover. What to weigh: Dubai Islands will see a lot of new supply around 2027 and 2028; Samana has three more projects here; prices and dates differ between Samana and Property Finder; and private pools add running costs.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Dubai the registration authority is the DLD.

Purchase priceEntry price at Samana Ocean PearlAED 3,940,444

DLD transfer fee (4%)Paid to the Dubai Land Department on registration. The department lists it as 2% from each party, but contracts almost always pass the full 4% to the buyer, so a developer's '50% DLD waiver' means the developer is paying its own listed half. Off-plan, it is paid when the sale is registered in the Oqood system.AED 157,618

Oqood registration admin feeOqood portal fee of AED 1,000 plus knowledge and innovation fees, for registering the off-plan sale contract.AED 1,020

Estimated total to completeAED 4,099,082about £840K

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
