Dubai’s SAMANA Developers has partnered with the renowned global lifestyle brand ELIE SAAB to launch the SAMANA Ocean Views interiors by ELIE SAAB project. Unveiled at the Madinat Arena in Dubai, this project marks ELIE SAAB’s first branded real estate venture in the Maldives and SAMANA Developers’ entry into branded projects.
This stunning 190-key development, spanning 507,651 square feet, is located in the Maldivian archipelago and offers beachfront villas, over-water bungalows, and chic poolside apartments. A 20-minute speedboat ride from Hanimaadhoo Airport or a 45-minute seaplane journey from Malé ensures seamless access. Interiors designed by ELIE SAAB showcase the brand’s refined elegance, with neutral tones and bespoke finishes that perfectly reflect the natural beauty of the Maldives.
Imran Farooq, CEO of SAMANA Developers, commented: “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.”

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.”
