SAMANA Collecta — The World Islands

SAMANA launched Collecta, its premium brand, on 15 October 2026 with a flagship island development on The World Islands valued at more than AED 4 billion. The scheme comprises 840 branded apartments, seven floating villas and two tree villas, with residences designed by an Italian luxury house and Italian-inspired landscaping across the island.

Every home faces the sea. The island is planned with beaches, a lagoon, a beach club, spas and a floating Italian restaurant, with yacht shuttles to the mainland every 30 minutes and a stated intention of year-round living rather than a seasonal resort.

Entry prices are reported below AED 2 million — a notably low threshold for The World. The decisive question is access: an island home depends entirely on the reliability of the marine shuttle, which buyers should examine closely before committing.
