Samana Ocean Pearls Phase 2: AED 4M Apartments, 15% Down on Dubai Islands
Samana Developers is delivering the second phase of Ocean Pearls on Dubai Islands, an archipelago off Dubai's northern coastline. Construction started in January 2024. Expected completion is March 2027, putting the handover roughly six months away. For an off-plan buyer, this is late-stage entry, and the short remaining timeline is one of the more practical facts about this project.
An Island Address Near the Old City
Dubai Islands sits off the Deira coast, connected to the mainland by bridges. The location sits at the northern end of the Dubai coastline, closer to Deira than to the Marina or Palm corridor. Dubai International Airport is under 20 minutes by car. Downtown Dubai and Business Bay are roughly a 30 to 35-minute drive.
The Ocean Pearls cluster signals that Samana is building out a branded neighbourhood on Dubai Islands. Phase 2 follows Phase 1 rather than opening new ground, which means some of the surrounding infrastructure is already underway. Buyers are entering a development in progress, not a blank site.
What the AED 4M to AED 5M Price Spread Covers
The range tracks bedroom count directly, which makes it straightforward to interpret.
| Bedroom Type | Starting Price | Typical Area |
|---|---|---|
| 2-bedroom | AED 4,001,555 | 1,524 to 1,673 sq ft |
| 3-bedroom | AED 4,278,811 | 1,439 to 1,843 sq ft |
| 4-bedroom | AED 5,051,588 | 1,972 to 1,977 sq ft |
Three-bedroom units are the most common layout in this project. Starting prices for 3-bedrooms range from AED 4,278,811 to approximately AED 4,546,311 depending on floor level and specific layout. The 3-bedroom sizes run from 1,439 sq ft up to 1,843 sq ft, so buyers choosing within this category face real differences in both space and price.
Four-bedroom apartments hold consistent pricing around AED 5,051,588, at approximately 1,972 to 1,977 sq ft. A buyer weighing a larger 3-bedroom against a 4-bedroom is looking at roughly an AED 500,000 to AED 770,000 premium for the additional bedroom.
Getting In for 15%
The payment structure is the headline number here.
| Stage | Percentage |
|---|---|
| Down payment | 15% |
| During construction | 55% |
| At handover | 30% |
A 15% down payment secures a unit. On a AED 4M apartment, that's approximately AED 600,000. The 55% construction tranche is now concentrated into the final six months before handover. 30% falls at handover as a single lump sum, with no post-handover installment period. The structure means the last significant cash event arrives at Q1 2027.
What Five Amenities Signal
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Gymnasium |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Family | Children's Play Area, Barbecue Area |
| Security | CCTV Security |
Five amenities is a compact list, and the combination reads clearly family-oriented. A gym, a kids' play area, and a barbecue area are the core of what a family resident wants day to day. On-site restaurants stand out for an island address where driving out for daily meals takes more time than in a mainland district. The building provides practical facilities rather than an extensive lifestyle campus.
Six Months to Handover
Construction started in January 2024. Expected completion is March 2027, roughly six months away. For an off-plan buyer, this is late-stage entry. Most of the construction risk has passed, and the waiting period is short relative to projects still in their early phases. Buyers who want off-plan pricing without a multi-year wait are the natural audience at this point in the build.
