Samana Portside at Downtown Jebel Ali, Dubai

Samana Portside is a residential development by Samana Developers in Downtown Jebel Ali. The project combines 1 and 2-bedroom apartments with private balcony pools, convertible layouts and shared leisure facilities near Dubai Metro and Sheikh Zayed Road. Completion is scheduled for Q3 2029.

One-bedroom apartments start from AED 1,100,000 ($299,500) and provide at least 623 sqft. Two-bedroom apartments begin at AED 1,400,000 ($381,200), with minimum areas of 933 sqft. The two formats cover a lower entry budget and a larger home with an additional bedroom.

Three 1-bedroom plan types and two 2-bedroom plan types are documented. The 1-bedroom formats are presented as convertible to 2-bedroom use, while the 2-bedroom plans can be adapted for 3-bedroom use. This flexibility allows the internal arrangement to change without moving to another apartment category.

Private pools are incorporated into the balconies of every documented apartment format. The exterior brings together rounded balcony lines, glass balustrades, broad windows and planted sections above the podium, giving the tower a softer profile than a conventional rectilinear residential block.

An adult pool, kids pool and large leisure deck form the main outdoor recreation area. The same level includes an outdoor cinema, BBQ area and children's play space, while indoor and outdoor gyms provide separate settings for exercise throughout the year.

Warm wood, pale stone and restrained neutral colours shape the interior direction. The lobby uses sculptural lighting and metallic details around a curved reception desk, while the apartment visuals connect open living areas with broad glazed doors and pool terraces.
