Maserati entered the year-round residential property sector on November 9, 2026, revealing plans for Maserati Island off the coast of Dubai. Developed in collaboration with Dubai-based firm Samana Collecta, the master plan introduces 840 branded homes to The World Islands archipelago. The initial completion phase is scheduled to welcome residents starting in 2030.
The coastal venture marks the Italian automaker's first permanent expansion into year-round residential real estate. Across the site, the master plan organizes the homes into three distinct formats: standard branded units, seven water villas, and two tree villas. Every residential category on the island carries the Trident badge and name throughout its architectural identity.
The first phase brings 232 residences directly to market, each accompanied by a private swimming pool. Layouts across this opening collection span from studio apartments to larger four-bedroom homes, all framed by open-concept living spaces.
Each home is built around uninterrupted views of the open sea. Extensive glass walls and open floor plans are designed to pull the surrounding lagoon and shoreline directly into the interior living quarters, maximizing natural light across every room.
Interior spaces will be furnished with pieces from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition collection. That collaborative furniture partnership began between the Modena carmaker and the Italian design house in 2025, providing tailored furnishings and interior appointments throughout the residences.
The Centennial Vision for Maserati Island
The debut coincides with a century of brand heritage. Cristiano Fiorio, Maserati's chief marketing officer and general manager of Bottegafuoriserie, linked the residential launch directly to the centennial of the Trident emblem, noting that the project marks an important milestone in the brand's history as the symbol reaches 100 years.
Santo Ficili, chief executive officer of Alfa Romeo and Maserati, framed the island development as part of a wider lifestyle trajectory. "With Maserati Island, we have taken an important step in the journey that began with Casa Maserati, transforming our vision of Italian luxury into an exclusive living experience," Ficili said during the joint announcement.
Speaking on behalf of the development team, Samana Developers chief executive officer Imran Farooq highlighted the local significance of the project. Farooq called the partnership a defining milestone for Samana Collecta and for the luxury real estate landscape of Dubai as a whole.
