Samana Barari Views Majan Dubailand Dubai

Samana Barari Views is a single 28-floor tower in Majan, the Dubailand sub-district off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, holding studios and one, two and three-bedroom apartments. Its defining feature is that every apartment has its own private swimming pool - not a selected few, which is what separates it from Samana Developers' other tower in the same district.

Studios are quoted from AED 749,000 (about Rs 1.93 crore) and one-bedroom homes from about AED 1,128,000, on a 20% booking with 1% monthly instalments and a post-handover tail running up to eight years. Handover is quoted between Q4 2026 and Q2 2027. Every UAE project we track sits in the Dubai section.

At a glance

Price: three entries, and which one to use

The pattern is a price that has moved upward with each release, which is normal for an off-plan tower selling in phases - the AED 627,000 figure is three years old and should not be quoted at you as current. We use AED 749,000 as the working number because it is the one tied to the live payment plan. What you cannot do with any of them is work out a rate, because no source publishes a square footage, so ask for the suite area against a named unit before you decide whether AED 749,000 is good value.

Payment plan and total cost

20% at booking, then 1% monthly instalments, with a post-handover tail the sources describe as running up to eight years. Our note on Dubai payment plans sets out how these are normally written.

There is a gap in the published terms worth naming. The sources give a 20% booking and a 1% monthly instalment, but do not spell out how the remaining 80% divides between the construction phase and the post-handover phase, or whether a lump sum falls at handover. On Samana's other Dubailand tower the equivalent published schedule adds to 85% rather than 100%, so this is not a theoretical concern. Ask for the complete schedule of dates and amounts as an annexe to the SPA, and check that it sums to the price you are paying.

Service charges are not yet published. Dubailand apartments run about AED 10 to 32 per sq ft a year, and a tower where every apartment has a pool sits at the top of that band - the plant, the water supply and the maintenance regime are association costs even where the pool itself is inside your unit.

Which tower are you buying?

A successor building, Barari Views 2, is separately marketed in Majan on its own post-handover plan. The names are nearly identical, the district is the same and the listings for the two are easy to conflate.

So confirm in writing which building your unit sits in, get that building's DLD project number, and verify it on the Dubai REST app. This is a two-minute check that removes the single most avoidable mistake available on this page.

Handover

The date is quoted both Q4 2026 and Q2 2027 - two and a half quarters apart, which matters when instalments continue for years afterwards. Plan around the later one and get it written into the SPA.

Samana's pipeline supports a 2027 delivery: the developer targets eleven handovers that year, having already delivered Samana Greens in Arjan and Samana Santorini. But the schedule is the company's, not this tower's. Read the verified construction percentage on the Dubai REST app and ask whether the structure is topped out.

Location and connectivity

Majan sits inside Dubailand alongside Arjan and the Dubailand Residence Complex, off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road (E311), with Al Ain Road (E66) running the length of the wider district towards Emirates Road (E611). Dubai Miracle Garden and the Butterfly Garden are next door in Arjan; Global Village and IMG Worlds of Adventure are the district's landmarks; Dubai Hills Mall and Downtown are reached on E311.

There is no metro here, so it is a car-dependent address. Other buildings we cover in the same pocket are Binghatti Skyflame in Majan and, from the same developer, Samana Avenue in the Dubailand Residence Complex and Samana Imperial Garden in Arjan.

Amenities and specifications

The private pool in every apartment is the product, and it is worth being precise about why that matters commercially rather than just aesthetically. In a district where a tenant scrolling listings sees a dozen near-identical towers, a pool on the balcony is the one feature visible in the first photograph - it supports the upper end of a building's rent range and gives a short-let listing something to lead with.

It is also a maintenance regime. Water, plant, treatment and access are all real costs, and some of them sit with the owners' association rather than with you. What no source publishes is the square footage of any layout, so neither the AED 749,000 studio nor the AED 1,128,000 one-bedroom can be converted into a rate. Ask for the suite area in writing against a named unit. Final as per the SPA.

About the developer

Samana Developers has built its identity on one feature - the pool in the apartment - and this tower is the fullest expression of it. Its first project, Samana Greens in Arjan, launched in April 2018 and has been delivered; Samana Hills followed in September 2019; Samana Santorini has been completed and handed over. The developer reports more than 1,300 units handed over in total.

The other side of the picture is the pace of selling. Samana targets six handovers in 2026 and eleven in 2027, claims about 4.4% of the Dubai market with AED 7.1 billion of sales in its last reported year, and launched five projects worth Dh1.9 billion in a single April announcement. That is a company selling and launching considerably faster than it has yet delivered. The delivered projects are real and you can go and look at them; the pipeline is simply much larger than the record. Check this tower's own construction percentage rather than the brand's momentum.

For Indian buyers

Dubailand is freehold, so an Indian citizen owns here outright with a title deed from the Dubai Land Department, and the UAE charges no annual property tax. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian may remit USD 250,000 per financial year; the whole purchase here is about USD 213,000, and because the plan is monthly it spreads naturally across financial years rather than needing to fit into one.

The Golden Visa threshold of AED 2 million is well above this price, so buy for income rather than residency. On the income side, Dubailand apartments let at roughly 6 to 8.5% gross - our rental yield by area note puts that in context - and the private pool is one of the few features in this price band that genuinely supports the top of a building's rent range. Rent is taxable in India in your hands with the standard 30% deduction on the annual value.

Pros

• A private pool in every apartment without exception - the clearest differentiator at this price in Dubailand
• An entry under AED 750,000 for a freehold Dubai home with that feature
• 20% at booking and 1% a month turns the purchase into a monthly commitment
• A post-handover tail means part of the price is paid after the unit can earn rent
• Samana has delivered Samana Greens and Samana Santorini, with more than 1,300 units handed over
• Majan sits beside Arjan and the Dubailand Residence Complex, both filling in with retail and schools

Cons

• Three entry prices in circulation - AED 627,000, AED 699,000 and AED 749,000
• Handover quoted both Q4 2026 and Q2 2027
• No unit sizes published, so no price converts into a rate per sq ft
• The published plan does not show how the remaining 80% divides, or where a handover lump sum sits
• A near-identically named second tower, Barari Views 2, is marketed in the same district
• A pool in every apartment is a maintenance regime as well as an amenity, and the service charge is unpublished
• Samana is selling far faster than it has delivered, and there is no metro on this side of Dubailand

Who this is for

Buyers who want the private-pool product at the lowest entry Samana offers; salaried buyers who want a monthly commitment with part of it falling after the unit can earn; and investors positioning for premium or short-let rental.

Who should look elsewhere

Buyers who need a firm handover date, anyone who will not price without a published square footage, Golden Visa buyers, and investors who want a quick clean exit.

Our verdict

This is the purest version of what Samana sells: 28 floors in Majan where every apartment has its own pool, at an entry under AED 750,000. In a district where most towers are interchangeable, that is a feature a tenant sees in the first listing photograph and a landlord can charge for - and at this price it is the most interesting thing here. Three cautions, all about information rather than the building. The entry price is quoted three ways across the sources, from AED 627,000 to AED 749,000, so work from a quote on a named unit rather than a page. The handover is quoted both Q4 2026 and Q2 2027, so plan around 2027. And the published terms give a 20% booking and 1% a month without explaining how the other 80% divides - on Samana's other Dubailand tower the equivalent schedule comes up 15 points short, so get the complete annexe and check it sums. Then add the two-minute check: confirm in writing that you are buying Barari Views and not Barari Views 2. Do all that and this is a well-differentiated income unit at a genuinely low entry.

FAQs

What does an apartment at Samana Barari Views cost?

The entry is quoted three ways: AED 627,000 on pages dating from late 2023, AED 699,000 on more recent ones, and AED 749,000 attached to the current 1% monthly plan. One-bedroom apartments start at about AED 1,128,000. Ask for a price against a named unit.

Does every apartment have a private pool?

Yes - every apartment, not a selected few. That is what separates this tower from Samana Avenue in the same district. It is the main reason to pay a premium here, and the main reason to read the service-charge budget closely when it is published.

When is handover?

Q4 2026 on some sources and Q2 2027 on others. Plan around the later date and get it in writing. Verify this tower's own construction percentage on the Dubai REST app.

What is the payment plan?

20% at booking, then 1% monthly instalments, with a post-handover tail described as up to eight years. On the AED 749,000 entry that is AED 149,800 to book and about AED 7,490 a month. The published terms do not show how the 80% balance divides, so ask for the full schedule as an annexe.

Is this the same building as Barari Views 2?

No. A successor tower, Barari Views 2, is separately marketed in Majan on its own plan. Confirm in writing which building your unit sits in and verify that building's project number on the Dubai REST app.

What does it cost on top of the price?

The DLD registration fee is 4%, AED 29,960 on the entry unit, plus Oqood admin and the AED 40 knowledge fee - about AED 782,000 in total, roughly Rs 2.01 crore. Agency commission is 2% plus 5% VAT if a broker is used. There is no VAT on a residential sale and no annual property tax.

What are the service charges?

Not yet published. Dubailand apartments run about AED 10 to 32 per sq ft a year, and a tower where every apartment has a pool sits at the top of that band. Ask for the projected budget.

What rental yield should I expect?

Dubailand apartments run about 6 to 8.5% gross, net typically 1.5 to 2 points lower after costs. A private pool supports the upper end of a building's rent range and helps a short-let listing stand out.

Can an Indian citizen buy here?

Yes. Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme each resident Indian may remit USD 250,000 a financial year; the whole purchase is about USD 213,000 and the monthly plan spreads it across financial years. Rent is taxable in India with the standard 30% deduction.
