What does your budget buy here?
Set a figure and we will match it against what is still available in this project.
Off-plan mortgages are arranged at handover, against the completed home.
The service charge starts at handover, not at purchase, and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the budget behind it is filed with the Mollak system each year, so the rate is reviewed once the building is occupied and can move from the launch figure.

Good to know
Straight answers from the developer's published terms, checked 8 Oct 2026.
What is the payment plan for Samana Portofino?
+
Payment Plan Option 1: 20% on booking, 0% during construction and 80% on handover. 2 payment plans are offered in total.
How much is the booking amount for Samana Portofino?
+
20% of the purchase price falls due on booking — from AED 190,353 on the lowest-priced home. A bank or a broker may call the same figure the reservation deposit or the down payment; it is one and the same first instalment, and it is paid to the developer rather than to us.
When does Samana Portofino hand over?
+
Handover is scheduled for MAR 2026. Construction is 47.23% complete.
What do homes in Samana Portofino cost?
+
Homes currently available start from AED 951,765 for Studio homes. These are the prices of the homes released for sale through our live feed today, not the launch prices — earlier and cheaper releases may have sold out.
How much does each bedroom size cost at Samana Portofino?
+
Published starting prices by layout are Studio from AED 904,705; 1 bed from AED 1,398,823; 2 bed from AED 1,940,000. Those are the entry price for each size — floor, view and the exact layout move the figure, and the current price list carries the price of every remaining unit.
Is there a price list for Samana Portofino?
+
Yes. Ask for it on this page and the developer’s own price list is emailed to you — unit number, floor, exact size, price and price per square foot for every home still available. 1 home was unsold at the last check on 8 Oct 2026.
Who is the developer of Samana Portofino?
+
Samana Portofino is developed by Samana in Dubai Production City · Dubai · United Arab Emirates.
What is the service charge at Samana Portofino?
+
The published service charge at Samana Portofino is 15 AED/sqft, billed once a year. On the smallest published layout, 407 sqft, that is roughly AED 6,105 a year. It starts at handover and the first year is usually pro-rated from the day you collect the keys. In Dubai the annual budget behind the charge is filed with the Mollak system, so the figure is reviewed each year once the building is occupied. Checked 8 Oct 2026.
Is my money protected when buying off-plan at Samana Portofino?
+
Samana has registered an escrow account for Samana Portofino. In the UAE an off-plan instalment is paid into the project’s escrow account rather than to the developer directly, and is released against construction progress the regulator has verified. We do not publish the account number — your sale agreement and the developer’s own payment instructions carry it.
