Samana Ibiza: Apartments in Dubai Land with a Post-Handover Plan
Samana Developers launched Ibiza in August 2024 in Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC). Construction started that same month. The project delivers studios and one-bedroom apartments at a price that keeps the entry cost manageable, with payments structured to spread the financial commitment across the construction period and into the post-handover phase.
Getting In at 20% Down
The payment structure here is practical for buyers who want to stage their outlay over a multi-year window:
| Phase | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 20% |
| During construction | 57% |
| Post-handover | 23% |
On a studio at the entry price of AED 1,009,419, the 20% down payment comes to roughly AED 202,000. The 57% during construction spreads across the build period, which runs to February 2028. The 23% post-handover component means buyers who rent the unit out at handover can use rental income to cover the final tranche rather than needing the full sum at the keys. For a buy-to-let buyer, that structure reduces the cash demand at the moment the unit begins generating income.
What AED 1 Million to AED 1.37 Million Gets You
Prices at Samana Ibiza run from AED 1,009,419 to AED 1,371,111. The spread of around AED 362,000 tracks the unit mix rather than a floor premium.
Studios range from 457 to 585 sq ft and sit at the lower end of the price scale. One-bedrooms cover 804 to 837 sq ft and take the upper range. The studio buyer is typically entering the Dubai market at a controlled cost, whether as a first purchase or a single-unit investment. The one-bedroom buyer often has a longer residence in mind or needs the extra space for a two-person household.
Dubai Land Residence Complex
DLRC sits inland, southeast of Downtown Dubai. The drive to Downtown runs approximately 25 to 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Dubai International Airport is a comparable trip. The area connects directly to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), keeping broader city access simple.
Residents in DLRC live further from the coast and from the established retail and dining clusters you find in areas like Downtown or Dubai Marina. The pricing reflects that trade-off. At this end of the market, the apartment sizing and the payment structure tend to carry more weight than proximity to the waterfront.
What the Building Includes
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor & Active | Landscaped Gardens, Cycle Track, Children's Play Area |
| Convenience | Restaurants, CCTV Security |
| Lifestyle | Beach Access |
Eight amenities at this price point is a fuller package than mid-market apartments in this district typically carry. Beach Access is the most unusual item on the list for an inland location. The indoor pool and gym combination supports year-round use, which matters during Dubai's summer months. The children's play area and cycle track signal that the development targets residents who plan to stay rather than purely short-lease investment buyers. Taken together, the amenity set positions Samana Ibiza toward owner-occupiers and longer-term tenants rather than the high-turnover rental market.
Completion in February 2028
Construction at Samana Ibiza began in August 2024. The target handover date is February 28, 2028, roughly three and a half years from the start of works. Buyers entering now commit to an off-plan timeline with the bulk of construction still ahead. The 57% construction-phase installments spread across that window, so the specific monthly amounts follow the payment schedule agreed at signing.
