About the project
Soma Residences is a low-rise coastal building of 44 homes by Origami Development on Dubai Islands. The residences are designed by XBD Collective, and the building reads closer to a small Mediterranean hotel than to a Dubai tower: sculptural balconies planted along every face, a lobby two storeys high set with olive trees, and a rooftop turned over to residents.

- Three-metre ceilings, floor-to-ceiling acoustic glazing and a deep private balcony on every home
- Bosch kitchen appliances with Geberit, Grohe and Zucchetti fittings, set against warm oak and porcelain
- A 20-metre infinity pool facing the sea, with sunken loungers in the water and a separate children's pool
- Rooftop lounge and padel court, Technogym fitness centre, movement studio, treatment room, sauna and steam rooms
- Clubhouse with a café and co-working space, and a sunken lounge
- Smart home integration, individually controlled cooling and access-controlled amenities
- Enrolled to pursue WELL Gold Certification
- The canal promenade, the marinas, Dubai Islands Mall and white-sand beaches are all walkable; Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai International Airport are eight minutes away
- Freehold ownership, handover Q4 2028

View Origami Development About Dubai Islands
A five-island archipelago — Dubai's new waterfront.
Dubai Islands is Nakheel's new waterfront development: an archipelago of five islands spanning 17 km² off the coast of Deira (known as Deira Islands until 2022). Each of the five islands has a distinct focus: Central for retail and entertainment, Marina for marinas and boating, Shore for beaches and leisure, Golf for golf courses, and Elite for ultra-luxury living. Bridges at Al Khaleej Street link the islands to Deira, and once the Blue Line metro is completed (2029) there will also be direct metro access. This is an area with strong capital-growth potential over a 5 to 10 year horizon.
