Dubai’s SAMANA Developers, in partnership with the global luxury lifestyle brand ELIE SAAB, has officially launched the SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB project at the Madinat Arena in Dubai. This is ELIE SAAB’s first foray into branded real estate in the Maldives and marks SAMANA Developers’ debut in branded developments.
Nestled in the stunning Maldivian archipelago, the 190-key SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB spans 507,651 square feet. Located just 20 minutes by speedboat from Hanimaadhoo Airport or a 45-minute seaplane ride from Malé, the development features opulent beachfront villas, over-water bungalows, and chic poolside apartments. The interiors, designed by ELIE SAAB, exude luxury with soft neutral palettes, high-quality fabrics, and exquisite finishes that complement the natural surroundings.
Imran Farooq, CEO of SAMANA Developers, said: “Our strategic foresight and deep understanding of Dubai’s economic landscape have propelled Samana Developers to become the city’s seventh-largest developer. This expertise is now embodied in SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB, a culmination of a shared vision to create an extraordinary destination where luxury, design, and natural beauty meet. We are immensely proud of this partnership with ELIE SAAB.”
Elie Saab Jr., CEO of ELIE SAAB Group, commented: “We are honoured to collaborate with Samana Developers on this exceptional project, marking a significant step in our brand’s strategic expansion into exclusive destinations globally. This development reflects our vision of crafting immersive, one-of-a-kind lifestyle experiences that embody our philosophy of elegance and sophistication, while upholding the highest standards of luxury and individuality. The Maldives represents a key addition to our growing global portfolio, as we continue to deliver remarkable projects in strategic locations worldwide.”
Massimiliano Ferrari, CEO of Corporate Brand Maison, WW Licensee ELIE SAAB Maison, noted: “The interiors of Samana Ocean Views will feature the ELIE SAAB Maison furniture and home décor collection, crafted with exceptional Italian craftsmanship. Every piece is designed with a deep understanding of the Maldivian environment, ensuring that the elegance and quality of the collection harmonise perfectly with the unique beauty of the location.”
The property includes amenities such as a wellness centre, spa, multiple pools, fine dining options, watersports, and an on-site dive centre. Sustainability plays a key role, with coral restoration integrated into the development.
Scheduled for completion in 2029, the AED 2.2 billion project will redefine luxury living in the Maldives.
