MMaldives Investments

Dubai’s leading real estate force, SAMANA Developers, has officially partnered with global luxury fashion and lifestyle icon ELIE SAAB to unveil SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB — the first-ever branded real estate project by ELIE SAAB in the Maldives and SAMANA’s inaugural venture into premium branded residences. The grand launch, held at Dubai’s prestigious Madinat Arena, marked a major milestone for both brands, signaling a new era of luxury living in the Indian Ocean.

Nestled in the heart of the Maldivian archipelago, this breathtaking development is a mere 20-minute speedboat ride from Hanimaadhoo Airport or a 45-minute scenic seaplane journey from Malé. Spanning over 507,651 square feet, SAMANA Ocean Views offers 190 high-end residences including beachfront villas, overwater bungalows, and stylish poolside apartments. Each home is thoughtfully designed to reflect the serenity of the Maldives, featuring interiors curated by ELIE SAAB that blend neutral tones, opulent materials, and timeless sophistication.

Imran Farooq, CEO of SAMANA Developers, commented, “Our expertise in Dubai’s booming real estate market has made us one of the top developers in the region. With SAMANA Ocean Views, we are bringing that same excellence to the Maldives. This partnership with ELIE SAAB is the perfect union of visionary design and premium real estate.”

Massimiliano Ferrari, CEO of Corporate Brand Maison and Worldwide Licensee for ELIE SAAB Maison, emphasized the importance of the design: “The ELIE SAAB Maison collection, crafted with superior Italian artistry, will be seamlessly integrated into the interiors of SAMANA Ocean Views — a perfect marriage of refined furniture and the natural elegance of the Maldives.”

Designed as a true tropical haven, the project features an array of high-end amenities: a luxury spa and wellness center, Arabic and Japanese fine dining restaurants, a professional dive center, and watersports activities. Residents will also enjoy access to multiple pools, a modern fitness studio, family entertainment areas, and sustainability initiatives including coral restoration projects.

With a total value of AED 2.2 billion and a projected completion date in 2029, SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB offers more than just a home — it promises a lifestyle defined by privacy, elegance, and the unmatched beauty of the Maldives.
