Updated: 2026-10-11

## Short answer

Samana Ibiza is registered with the DLD for completion on 28 February 2028, and Samana Developers now gives Q2 2028. The last DLD inspection, on 18 June 2026, recorded 3.1% complete. At that level, meeting either date would need construction far faster than the pace recorded so far.

## Key figures

- Registered completion date (DLD): 28 Feb 2028 (DLD project register via Continental Club)
- Latest construction progress: 3.1% (DLD inspection, 18 Jun 2026)
- Developer's stated date: Q2 2028 (Samana Developers, accessed 11 Oct 2026)
- Date shown at launch: Q1 2028 (March 2028) (Excel Properties, Saiban; launch Sep 2024)

## Samana Ibiza handover date: the latest position

The Dubai Land Department (DLD) project register lists Samana Ibiza with a completion date of 28 February 2028. Samana Developers' project page now says Q2 2028. Prices, sizes and the payment plan are on the project page: [Samana Ibiza](/projects/samana-ibiza/).

Both dates sit against a low progress figure. The DLD inspection of 18 June 2026 recorded 3.1% complete, almost two years after the register's construction start of 1 August 2024. No later inspection had been published when the register was updated on 9 October 2026.

## Samana Ibiza handover date by building

Samana Ibiza is a single tower of two basements, a ground floor and 20 residential floors.

| Building | Construction progress (DLD, date) | Registered completion date | Developer or portal date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Samana Ibiza (455 units) | 3.1% (18 Jun 2026) | 28 Feb 2028 | Q2 2028 (Samana); April 2028 (Propsearch); Q1 2028 (Data Habibi) |

Earlier DLD inspections: 0.00% on 14 March 2024 and 2.38% on 12 February 2026 (via Continental Club).

## How the Samana Ibiza handover date has changed

| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Aug 2024 | Construction start on the DLD register | DLD via Continental Club |
| 11 Sep 2024 | Project registered with the DLD | Dubai Data |
| 25 Sep 2024 | Launch date on the DLD record; listings give Q1 2028 (March 2028) | Dubricks; Excel Properties |
| 12 Feb 2026 | DLD inspection: 2.38% | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 5 Apr 2026 | Propsearch estimate: April 2028 | Propsearch |
| 18 Jun 2026 | DLD inspection: 3.1%; registered completion 28 Feb 2028 | DLD register via Continental Club |
| 11 Oct 2026 | Samana's page: Q2 2028 | Samana Developers |

The developer date has slipped by one quarter so far. At the pace of about 0.30 points a month recorded over the past year (Continental Club), the remaining work would take many years, so a further change to the date is possible unless construction speeds up sharply.

## What the Samana Ibiza handover date means for payments

Samana's non-PDC plan takes 20% on booking, 1% a month for 42 months, 10% in month 12 and 5% in month 18, so 77% is paid in the first three and a half years whatever the build stage. The last 23% is paid at 0.5% a month for 46 months; on the PDC plan, 28% over 56 months. Excel Properties lists 1% due on handover itself, with the final stage after it.

Because most instalments run on a monthly schedule from booking, a later handover means buyers may have paid most of the price well before completion. On a AED 1.13 million one bedroom, the 1% monthly instalment is about AED 11,300.

## What to check before relying on the Samana Ibiza date

1. **The completion date and grace period in the SPA**, given three published dates: 28 February 2028, Q2 2028 and April 2028.
2. **Whether instalments are tied to time or to construction stages.** On a monthly plan, payments continue even if the build is slow.
3. **The next DLD inspection**, through the DLD project status service, to see whether progress has moved beyond 3.1%.
