Samana Developers opened its account in Dubai with SAMANA Greens in Arjan in September 2018. The company says the structure was completed in eight months.
SAMANA Hills followed in March 2019 and was handed over in June 2022. That project introduced the feature Samana is now known for: a private pool built into the apartment.
The developer is part of the SAMANA Group of Companies, headquartered in Dubai with a global presence. In 2025 Samana brought architecture and construction in-house, which the company calls vertical integration. Its head office is in Bay Square, Business Bay, where a dedicated sales gallery opened in May 2026.
The company motto is Pioneering Lifestyles. Its earlier motto, still used across its material, is On Time, Every Time.
The portfolio is apartment-led.
Private pools are offered on selected units and layouts rather than across the full inventory, so the specific floor plan needs checking. Amenity lists across Samana projects include rooftop and lagoon-style pools, aqua gyms, wellness lounges, outdoor cinemas, coworking areas, landscaped podiums, smart home fittings, concierge and 24/7 security. SAMANA Hills South 3 is marketed with more than 30 amenities.
Samana introduced a Flexible Homes concept in 2025, built around convertible layouts. One international project exists: SAMANA Ocean Views in the Maldives, with interiors by Elie Saab.
