Samana Waves Phase 1: Apartments and Duplexes in JVC at AED 639,000
Samana Waves Phase 1 is a residential development by Samana Developers in District 13 of Jumeirah Village Circle. It offers apartments and duplexes across studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom configurations, with private pools available across multiple layouts. Construction began in July 2022, and the expected completion was April 2026, placing the project at or near handover as of mid-2026.
Living in Jumeirah Village Circle
JVC sits between Downtown Dubai and Dubai Marina, with direct access to Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road and Al Khail Road. Most drives to Downtown run around 20 to 25 minutes; the Marina is a similar distance. The community has parks, retail, and schools spread across its layout, reducing the need to leave the area for everyday needs.
District 13 is within JVC's residential core. It is a freehold area, and the surrounding streets are built for long-term occupation rather than short-term stays. The broader JVC district is one of Dubai's larger freehold communities, positioned between the city's two main lifestyle and employment hubs.
AED 639,000 Entry Price
The listed entry price for Samana Waves Phase 1 is AED 639,000. The project includes units from 400 sq ft studios to 1,676 sq ft two-bedroom duplexes. That size range reflects a wide buyer profile within a single development, from investors looking for compact units to families sizing up to a two-bedroom duplex.
Apartments and Duplexes, Several with Private Pools
The unit lineup covers five distinct configurations:
- Studios: 400 to 435 sq ft, including a private pool variant
- One-bedroom apartments: 698 to 700 sq ft, with pool layouts available
- One-bedroom duplexes: 1,041 sq ft with private pool
- Two-bedroom apartments: 1,286 sq ft with private pool
- Two-bedroom duplexes: 1,676 sq ft with private pool
Duplexes occupy the two largest unit types, offering split-level living across a larger footprint. Private pool options run from studio level through the two-bedroom configurations. The studio with a private pool adds a private outdoor space within a compact footprint, suited to buyers who want that feature without the scale of a larger unit.
What the Amenities Say
| Category | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness | Health Club |
| Dining | Cafe and Restaurants, Restaurants |
| Outdoor | Community Park, Children's Play Area |
| Recreation | Shared Pool |
Six amenities across four categories. The health club, shared pool, and community park cover the core needs of daily residents. On-site cafes and restaurants reduce the need to leave the building for everyday meals. The children's play area alongside the community park signals a project targeting families and long-term occupants rather than transient renters.
Project at or Near Handover
Construction at Samana Waves Phase 1 began in July 2022. The expected completion date was April 2026, which has now passed. Buyers looking at this project in mid-2026 are entering a development where the main construction risk is behind them. This is a fundamentally different position from entering at early-stage. For investors, the handover period means rental income can start sooner rather than after a long wait.
Getting In for 15%
| Down Payment | During Construction | Handover | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | 15% | 54% | 30% |
| Option 2 | 20% | 54% | 25% |
Two payment structures are available. Option 1 requires 15% down, which on a unit at AED 639,000 comes to AED 95,850 at signing. Construction installments total 54% of the purchase price, with 30% due at handover. Option 2 raises the entry to 20% but cuts the handover balance to 25%, reducing the final cash requirement. Both structures concentrate payments through the construction and handover phases, with no spread past delivery.
