Maserati Enters Branded Residences With a Private Island in Dubai

Maserati introduced the concept in Modena a week earlier, in the year of its Trident emblem's centenary. It follows the Bugatti Residences by Binghatti in Business Bay, Dubai as another car marque lending its name to a home.

What Maserati Island will include

The master plan calls for 840 branded residences, seven water villas and two tree villas. The first release comprises 232 homes with private pools, ranging from studios to four-bedroom residences. The partners say every residence is oriented towards the sea, with the first homes expected to be ready from 2030. The idea of living on the water is not new, as seen in floating luxury real estate that creates your own private island and in Sanlorenzo floating villas designed for affluent Asian buyers.

What Maserati brings to the interiors

Architect Carlo Colombo of A++ Studio curated the interiors, which bring together leather, sculpted wood and furniture from the Giorgetti Maserati Edition. The collaboration with the Italian furniture maker began at Milan Design Week in 2025. Fashion and furniture houses have long crossed over in this way, as in Fendi Casa and Design Holding showcasing Italian craftsmanship. On the island, pieces from the collection are planned for homes and shared lounges. The master plan also includes a floating Italian restaurant, a beach club, a lagoon, a water-sports marina and co-working lounges. Another marque has tried a similar idea on the water with the Lamborghini floating lounge at The Pearl Doha.

Maserati's design language is already familiar to enthusiasts through the global premiere of the new Maserati Grecale and through the Maserati Fuoriserie Essentials collection with David Beckham, which show the brand stretching beyond cars into lifestyle.

The LuxuryAbode View

Maserati Island is designed for year-round living, which puts the yacht shuttle and everyday services at the centre of its appeal. For buyers in India weighing a Dubai second home, a private pool is easy to picture. How often the boats run and which services open with the first homes will do more to determine how often they use it. The test for Maserati is whether the experience feels as considered on an ordinary weekday as it does on arrival, from the mainland pier to the front door.

Indian buyers comparing options can read why Dubai luxury real estate is so attractive to global investors and why Dubai luxury real estate is a golden investment opportunity. Residency is part of the picture too, as covered in millionaire migration and the UAE golden visa. Our broader guide to luxury second home destinations in India and around the world offers more context, and a regional comparison is available in Aquamarine Beach Residences by Sobha Group at Siniya Island and Skyscape Avenue by Sobha Realty as a waterfront investment.
