Facts last verified 13 November 2026 against the sources listed at the end. ## Key facts | Fact | Value | | --- | --- | | Developer | [Samana Developers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/samana) | | Location | [Dubai Islands](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-islands), Dubai | | Status | under construction | | Developer's handover target | Q2 2028 | | Sales launched | 2025-09 | | Tenure | freehold | | Price | From AED 2,887,000 (published figure, 13 November 2026) | | Home types | 1-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom apartments, 3-bedroom apartments, 4-bedroom apartments | | Floors | 6 | | Buildings | 2 | | Golden Visa value test | Some homes are priced at or above AED 2,000,000 | ## Overview Samana Ocean Bay is a low-rise waterfront project by [Samana Developers](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/developers/samana) on [Dubai Islands](https://www.uaepropertyagents.com/dubai/dubai-islands), one of four Samana residential projects there alongside Ocean Pearl, Ocean Pearl 2 and Ocean Crest. Samana describes six floors of apartments; Property Finder lists two buildings, Tower A and Tower B, and a sales start of September 2025. In November 2026 Property Finder still showed developer listings across one-, two- and three-bedroom types, and Samana's page carried a price with no sold-out label. The homes are one- to four-bedroom apartments from 808 sq ft, and Samana's FAQ says every apartment includes a private pool. Pricing needs care. Samana's page gives a starting price of AED 2,887,000. Property Finder's developer listings quote lower figures: about AED 2.04 million to AED 2.3 million for a one-bedroom, AED 3.4 million for a two-bedroom and AED 4.1 million for a three-bedroom. Get the current price list from Samana before comparing. The payment structure is the draw for many buyers: half during construction and half over two to three years after handover. Samana's page shows two versions. The main plan is 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. The FAQ gives 20% down, three 10% instalments at months 12, 18 and 24, then 2% a month for 25 months after handover. Samana gives handover as Q2 2028. Shared amenities are quiet rather than sporty: a leisure water lounge, sun deck, hammock, Zen and meditation gardens, an outdoor cinema, a gym and a jogging track. Who it suits: a buyer who wants a pool apartment on Dubai Islands in a small building, and who values paying half after completion. What to weigh: Dubai Islands is still being built out, with heavy competing supply due by 2028; the gap between Samana's and Property Finder's prices; pool maintenance costs; and a post-handover schedule that is a real debt to plan for. ## Unit types and prices | Unit type | Price from | Price to | Size | Bathrooms | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 808 sq ft | | available | | 2-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,212 to 1,761 sq ft | | available | | 3-bedroom apartments | Not published | | 1,553 to 2,157 sq ft | | available | | 4-bedroom apartments | Not published | | | | limited | Prices are published starting prices from the developer or Property Finder, as each type's note says, checked 13 November 2026. ## Payment plans ### 50/50 with 3-year post-handover - Down payment: 10% (On booking) - Instalment: 5% (Month 6) - Monthly instalments: 15% (1% a month for 15 months) - On handover: 20% - Monthly instalments after handover: 36% (1% a month for 36 months) - Instalments after handover: 14% (7% in months 12 and 24 after handover) Paid before handover: 30%.
