Studio + Private Pool | 24% Below Market Value | Samana Mykonos, Arjan | AED 610,000 | Q4 2026
A standout distress opportunity that delivers one of the most commercially compelling investment metrics currently available in Dubai’s off-plan studio market. This studio apartment with a private pool in Samana Mykonos — Samana Developers’ celebrated Mykonos-themed luxury community in Arjan, Dubai — is offered at AED 610,000 by a motivated seller, representing a saving of approximately AED 190,000 against the current market price of AED 800,000 — a discount of approximately 24%. The unit is also AED 120,000 (approximately 16.4%) below the seller’s original purchase price of AED 730,000. At 430 sq.ft on a mid floor with a private pool and community view, this is the defining Samana product concept — the private pool studio — at the most aggressive pricing currently available anywhere in the Mykonos secondary market. The private pool feature alone commands a premium in Samana’s branded market, yet this listing offers that premium product at below-original-price and well below current market. With handover targeted for Q4 2026, the buyer acquires a near-to-delivery asset with a private pool at a price that the market has already moved past by approximately 31% from the original purchase cost.

About Samana Mykonos – Arjan, Dubai
Samana Mykonos is one of the most recognisable and commercially successful branded residential developments by Samana Developers — a developer that has built one of Dubai’s most distinctive off-plan identities around the concept of private pool apartments at accessible price points. Inspired by the aesthetic of Mykonos, the iconic Greek island known for its whitewashed architecture, blue domes, and Aegean lifestyle sensibility, Samana Mykonos delivers that visual language into an Arjan, Dubai context — with cascading pool terraces, a resort-style communal amenity deck, and individual private pools at the unit level that have made this project one of the most-searched and most-discussed developments in Dubai’s affordable luxury segment. Arjan is one of Dubai’s most strategically located mid-market communities — situated in the Al Barsha South district directly adjacent to Dubai Sports City and Barsha Heights, within close proximity of the Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Hills, and the Al Khail and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed road corridors. Samana Mykonos has been consistently well-received by both end-users drawn to the resort lifestyle concept and STR investors who recognise that a private pool studio at this price point, in this location, generates exceptional occupancy and above-market nightly rates on short-term rental platforms including Airbnb and Booking.com. The Q4 2026 handover means the buyer enters the market with a small number of remaining development milestones and a defined, near-term path to either occupying or deploying the asset as a revenue-generating short-term rental.
Community and Lifestyle
- Samana Mykonos delivers a resort lifestyle experience at unit level — every studio in this specific configuration has its own private pool, creating a holiday-villa ambience within a managed residential community

- Arjan’s location in Al Barsha South places residents within minutes of the Miracle Garden, Butterfly Garden, Dubai Sports City, and the expanding Arjan community retail strip
- Within 10–15 minutes of Mall of the Emirates, Barsha Heights, JBR, and Dubai Marina via Al Khail Road
- One of Dubai’s most in-demand STR investment formats — private pool studios in Samana projects have demonstrated consistently strong Airbnb performance, driven by their visual appeal, pool feature, and accessible nightly rate positioning
- Suited to first-time buyers, STR investors, buy-to-let investors, and any buyer seeking a private pool residence in Dubai at an entry-level price point

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) transfer fee is typically 4% of the purchase price (AED 24,400 on an AED 610,000 transaction).

Why Invest in This Samana Mykonos Studio
- 24% below market — immediately verified: AED 610,000 against a current market price of approximately AED 800,000 — a saving of approximately AED 190,000 that is verifiable against current active listings and recent comparable transactions in Samana Mykonos
- 16.4% below original purchase price: The seller is exiting at AED 120,000 below what they originally paid — in a project where the market has moved from AED 730,000 to AED 800,000, meaning the market gain is AED 70,000 but the buyer gets an additional AED 120,000 of seller discount on top of that market position
- Private pool at AED 610,000 — exceptional value: Private pool studios in Dubai’s branded residential market consistently command a significant premium over pool-free equivalents. Acquiring one at AED 610,000 — against a market of AED 800,000 — means the buyer is getting the pool premium for free and then some
- STR powerhouse configuration: Private pool studio apartments in Samana projects are among the best-performing short-term rental configurations in Dubai’s mid-market STR segment. The pool, the Mykonos aesthetic, and the Arjan location combine to deliver nightly rates and occupancy levels that produce gross STR yields materially above the Dubai residential average
- AED 1,419 per sq.ft — well below comparable branded product: At this implied price per square foot, the buyer is acquiring a Samana private pool product at a rate that reflects none of the market appreciation that has occurred since the original launch — a structural value gap that will narrow at and after handover
- Q4 2026 — near-to-delivery: Limited remaining construction risk — the project is in its final delivery phase, meaning the buyer is close to the point where the private pool unit becomes an operational, income-generating or owner-occupied residence
- Semi-furnished — reduced entry cost: The semi-furnished delivery reduces the buyer’s upfront fit-out spend, allowing earlier STR deployment or move-in without a full furnishing budget
- Freehold ownership: Open to all nationalities with full Dubai Land Department title deed upon handover
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the asking price and how does it compare to both the original price and the current market?
The asking price is AED 610,000. The seller’s original purchase price was AED 730,000 — this listing is AED 120,000 (approximately 16.4%) below what the seller paid. The current market price for comparable private pool studios in Samana Mykonos is approximately AED 800,000 — this listing is approximately AED 190,000 (approximately 24%) below the prevailing market. The buyer therefore acquires a private pool studio at a price that is simultaneously 16.4% below the seller’s cost and 24% below what the market is currently pricing comparable inventory.
What makes the private pool such a significant feature at this price point?
In Dubai’s short-term rental market, the private pool feature is one of the most powerful drivers of nightly rate premium, occupancy, and platform search ranking. A private pool studio listed on Airbnb or Booking.com commands nightly rates significantly above pool-free equivalents in the same building or community — and generates the visual content (pool photos, aerial pool shots) that drives booking conversion. At AED 610,000, the buyer is acquiring this premium feature below both the original purchase price and the current market, effectively inheriting the pool premium at a discount.
Why is the seller offering this unit below the original price?
This is a motivated seller with personal circumstances requiring a fast exit from the position. The pricing below original cost and well below current market is entirely a function of urgency — not any issue with the property, the project, or Samana Developers. Motivated sellers at this level of discount in a well-received Samana project are rare — buyers should act promptly.
What is Samana Mykonos and who is Samana Developers?
Samana Mykonos is a Mykonos-themed luxury residential development in Arjan, Dubai, developed by Samana Developers — one of Dubai’s most prolific and brand-consistent off-plan developers with a specialisation in resort-style private pool apartment communities. Samana Developers is known for delivering private pool apartments at price points that make the pool concept accessible to a broad buyer demographic, and for a consistent execution quality and visual aesthetic that has driven significant brand recognition in the Dubai off-plan market.
What is the size and floor of this studio?
The apartment is 430 sq.ft and is a studio unit with a private pool, located on a mid floor (floors 2–7). It is semi-furnished. The exact floor level within the mid-floor band, the terrace and pool dimensions, and the detailed room layout are available on request alongside the full floor plan.
When is the handover and what does that mean for the buyer?
Handover for Samana Mykonos is expected in Q4 2026. At handover, the buyer pays the final instalment (if any remains), and the Dubai Land Department title deed is issued. From this point, the private pool studio is available for immediate occupation or STR deployment. The near-to-delivery timeline means the buyer assumes limited remaining construction risk.
Is Samana Mykonos freehold and available to all nationalities?
Yes. Samana Mykonos in Arjan, Dubai is in a designated freehold zone and can be fully owned by all nationalities, including non-UAE residents and international investors. A full Dubai Land Department title deed is issued upon handover completion.
What short-term rental income can this private pool studio generate?
Private pool studio apartments in Samana developments in Arjan are among the most consistently bookable STR configurations in Dubai’s mid-market short-term rental segment. The private pool creates a hotel-alternative experience that platforms and guests respond to with above-average nightly rates, above-average occupancy, and strong review scores that compound listing performance over time. At an acquisition cost of AED 610,000, the entry yield on projected STR income is materially higher than what a market-price purchase would deliver. Current STR comparable data and gross yield projections for this configuration are available on request.
What are the transaction costs?
DLD transfer fee is typically 4% (AED 24,400 on AED 610,000). Additional costs include Samana NOC and admin charges, trustee and conveyancing fees, agent commissions if applicable, and annual service charges. The buyer should also budget for the remaining developer instalment if any is outstanding. All costs should be verified before proceeding. Full breakdown available on request.
How do I arrange a viewing or receive the floor plan?
The full floor plan, pool and terrace dimensions, payment schedule confirmation, and all transaction documentation are available on request. Please contact us immediately via the enquiry form or WhatsApp. A 24% below-market private pool studio in Samana Mykonos from a motivated seller is an extremely rare secondary market event — at this price against a market of AED 800,000, this listing will attract significant buyer interest and will not remain available for long.
