Samana’s own site sells SAMANA Ocean Pearl as a waterfront apartment building on Dubai Islands — one podium, two residential wings, a courtyard pool, and private pools in selected residences. The official grid marks 3-bedroom layouts without a pool. [1] The official price chip opens at AED 3,940,444\*. The leftover Property Finder card still opens at AED 2,504,333. Published keys targets sit in December 2026, except the current official 3-bed page, which just says confirm with Samana.
This is independent research for buyers, not Samana’s sales page. Off-plan (pre-construction) here means you are paying while the mid-rise is still going up — Propsearch already has May 2026 site photos. [8] If this is the building you walked, keep Ocean Pearl 2 and Ocean Bay by Samana on other rows. Then look at the papers Samana hands you and make sure they already say SAMANA Ocean Pearl or Ocean Pearl by SD - 1. How we work: Method.

AED 3.94 million is the official chip. It is not a locked unit price, and it is not the leftover 2.50 million open. [1] [6]
The two-wing island building, not Pearl 2
Picture a white mid-rise on a Dubai Islands corner plot: two residential wings, four roof canopies, a courtyard leisure pool, and blue mosaic balcony pools stepping up the façades. That is the official Ocean Pearl still. It is not the waterfront twin with a skybridge and sailboats — that cover belongs to Ocean Pearl 2. It is not Ocean Bay by Samana. [1] [5]
Official mix on the product page:
- 1-bed with pool — leftover PF from AED 2.5 million. One published Pearl 1 sale sample is 896 sqft at AED 1,865,777 (12 Nov 2025) — a transaction row, not a general 1-bed size band [6] [8]
- 2-bed with pool — leftover PF from AED 3.9 million; published sizes run about 1,160–1,534 sqft on Pearl 1 rows [6] [8]
- 3-bed without pool — official sales page from AED 4.4 million\*; leftover PF from 4.1 million (FAQ also 4.3 million); leftover sizes 1,670–1,843 sqft [3] [6]
- 4-bed with pool — leftover PF from AED 4.3 million; leftover / DLD sizes about 1,972–1,977 sqft [6] [8]
Pool wording is not one story. The official layout grid marks 3 BHK without pool. The June 2026 blog and 3-bed page say selected residences. The October 2024 launch blog said every apartment had a private pool. If the pool is why you are buying, the unit plan has to show it. [1] [2] [4]
Amenity chips cover a large leisure deck, kids’ pool, gym, sun deck, smart home, POD parking. Match the list to the exhibit on your pack. [1]
Payment and keys
Keys window: The older official launch blog, leftover Property Finder and Propsearch all print December 2026 (PF also Q4 / 31 December 2026). The current official 3-bed page does not reprint a month — it tells you to confirm with Samana. [4] [6] [8] [3] Targets only. The sale-contract keys clause wins.
Payment sketches — channels disagree:
- Official PDC: 15% booking, then 1% a month for 30 months, plus 10% in month 9, 10% in month 15, 5% in month 21, then 1.2% a month for 25 months [1] [3]
- Official Non-PDC: 20% booking, 1% a month for 20 months, the same month-9 / 15 / 21 chips, then 1% a month for 25 months [1]
- Leftover Property Finder option 1: 20% down, 38% during build, 1% on handover, 41% after keys [6]
- Leftover Property Finder option 2: 15% down, 15% during build, 50% during build in three instalments, 30% on handover [6]
A 41% post-handover leftover plan is a different cash life from Samana’s official monthly/milestone tables. Work only from the cheque calendar printed for the unit you want.
Published opens (filters only):
- Official product AED 3,940,444\ and official blog from AED 3.94 million\ [1] [2]
- Official 3-bed page from AED 4.4 million\* [3]
- Leftover Property Finder / Projects Scout AED 2,504,333 [6] [7]
- Propsearch launch from AED 1,600,000 [8]
On Propsearch, DLD sample sales labelled Ocean Pearl by SD - 1 sit well below the official chip — including a 1-bed at AED 1,865,777. Rows labelled Ocean Pearl by SD - 2 belong on the Pearl 2 card. Use samples as market activity, not inventory. [8]
Timeline chips: leftover PF sale start 1 December 2024 and construction 2 December 2024. Propsearch first trace June 2024, estimated start December 2024. The official 14 October 2024 blog said both Pearls sold out in two hours — and the same developer still publishes a 3-bed sales page in June 2026. Treat “sold out” as a launch line, not a stock check. [6] [8] [4] [3]
Area and developer
Developer hub: Samana Developers. Official product and blogs live on samanadevelopers.com. Propsearch puts Samana Holding Ltd through Samana Star Real Estate Development behind this card — a different subsidiary stamp from Ocean Bay’s Platinum line. Align the seller string on the form before money moves. [1] [8]
Area hub: Dubai Islands. Official minutes to Port Rashid, Deira, Al Mamzar or DXB are brochure chips — time the drive yourself. [1] [2]
Propsearch names architect York Engineering Consultants, main contractor Italtech Contracting and foundations Geo Foundation Group. Useful for diligence calls, not a finish promise. [8]
Shortlist SAMANA Ocean Pearl + bedroom count as one card. Park Ocean Pearl 2, Ocean Bay and Ocean Crest on their own lists. [5] [4]
Risks before you book
- Wrong Pearl — this page is SAMANA Ocean Pearl / Ocean Pearl 1 / Ocean Pearl by SD - 1. Ocean Pearl 2, Ocean Bay and Ocean Crest are different cards. [1] [5]
- Open-price stack — official ~AED 3.94M, leftover PF 2.50M, Propsearch launch 1.6M, official 3-bed 4.4M. The leftover 2.5 million chip is not a reserved unit price. [1] [6] [8]
- Instalment conflict — official PDC / Non-PDC versus leftover PF 20/38/1/41 and 15/15/50/30. Only the cheque table on your issued sale contract binds. [1] [6]
- Keys wording — December 2026 is widely printed, then the current official 3-bed page goes quiet. Leave buffer. [4] [3]
- “Sold out” launch line — official October 2024 blog versus a live official 3-bed sales page in 2026 and leftover PF resales. Ask what is actually bookable. [4] [3]
- Private-pool marketing — 3-beds are drawn without a pool on the official grid. Check the plan. [1]
- Seller-name drift — Samana Developers, SAMANA, Ocean Pearl by SD, Samana Holding / Samana Star appear in different channels. [8]
- Parent Propsearch page mixes SD - 1 and SD - 2 sale samples. Do not price this building off a Pearl 2 row. [8]
- Young master community — drive the route and ask what island roads, beach access and shared amenities are actually open before you treat brochure minutes as a commute. [1]
Before money moves
- Check DLD registration and escrow for this project before you pay a booking fee.
- Decide you want SAMANA Ocean Pearl (Ocean Pearl 1 / Ocean Pearl by SD - 1) and the bedroom type. Then read both papers: they should already print that product, the unit ID, built-up area, beds and parking. [1] [8]
- Match the seller line on both papers — Samana Developers, SAMANA, Samana Holding, Samana Star or Ocean Pearl by SD as actually printed. [8]
- Get a dated offer for the specific unit. The 3.94M / 2.50M / 1.6M / 4.4M stack on this page is not that offer. [1] [6]
- Rebuild cash only from the printed cheque calendar (official PDC or Non-PDC versus leftover 20/38/1/41). [1] [6]
- On the unit drawings, confirm private pool (or no pool), net versus built-up, parking and balcony rights. [1]
- Keep Ocean Pearl 2, Ocean Bay and Ocean Crest packs in other folders. [5]
- Wider buyer list: due diligence.
Bottom line
Bottom line: Ocean Pearl is shortlistable as Samana’s first Dubai Islands waterfront mid-rise — two wings, courtyard pool, 1–4 bedroom layouts, December 2026 keys on older official and portal pages. The hard fights are open price (official 3.94M vs leftover 2.50M vs Propsearch 1.6M launch), official PDC/Non-PDC versus leftover 20/38/1/41, a sold-out launch line that did not kill later official 3-bed marketing, and mixing this building with Ocean Pearl 2. This page is independent research, not a Samana sales pack. [1] [6] [8]
FAQ
Who is behind SAMANA Ocean Pearl?
Marketing brand is Samana Developers / SAMANA. Propsearch maps the project to Samana Holding Ltd through Samana Star Real Estate Development. DLD sample buildings print Ocean Pearl by SD - 1. Read the seller line on the form you are given. [1] [8]
Where is the project?
On Dubai Islands, filed by leftover Property Finder as Ocean Pearl 1. Official copy talks to Deira, Dubai Creek, Port Rashid and Al Mamzar. DLD samples also print master project Palm Deira. [1] [6] [8]
What homes are on the card?
Official layouts are one- and two-bedroom with pool, three-bedroom without pool, and four-bedroom with pool. Leftover 2–4 bed tables run about 1,160–1,977 sqft. A Pearl 1 DLD sample shows one 1-bed at 896 sqft — that is a sale row, not a published size ladder. If you want a pool, the plan for that unit has to show one. [1] [6] [8]
What starting price should I use to shortlist?
Do not lock one floor. Official product shows AED 3,940,444. The leftover Property Finder card opens at AED 2,504,333. Propsearch launch was AED 1.6 million. Official 3-beds are from AED 4.4 million. Ask Samana for a dated unit offer before you model cash. [1] [6] [8] [3]
What payment sketch do the channels show?
Official pages print a PDC plan (15% booking plus monthly and milestone cheques) and a Non-PDC plan (20% booking). Leftover Property Finder prints 20/38/1/41 and a second 15/15/50/30 shape. Trust only the instalments printed on the issued sale contract. [1] [6]
When are keys advertised?
The October 2024 official blog, leftover Property Finder and Propsearch all say December 2026. The current official 3-bed page tells you to confirm with Samana. Treat every printed window as provisional until your sale contract sets the keys date. [4] [6] [3]
How do I avoid buying Ocean Pearl 2 or Ocean Bay by mistake?
Keep SAMANA Ocean Pearl, Ocean Pearl 2 and Ocean Bay on separate shortlists. Walk the two-wing courtyard building you want, then read the reservation and sale contract — they should already say Ocean Pearl / Ocean Pearl by SD - 1, not a vague islands line. [5] [1]
