Brief Overview
Talay Marsa Al Saadiyat is an exclusive waterfront villa community by Aldar, and the first residential address released within Abu Dhabi's landmark AED 100 billion coastal destination on Saadiyat Island. It opens inside an approximately 6.4 million sqm masterplan wrapped by 8 km of waterfront, with Abu Dhabi's largest 350-berth marina at its core. The collection features 351 standalone villas in 4, 5 and 6 bedroom layouts, each built around privacy, family living, and a close bond with nature.
Every villa carries a considered design. Generous interiors open onto backyards, and a choice of façades gives each home its own character. Shared spaces draw on Emirati heritage reworked for family life by Emirati designer Abdalla Almulla, including an Aflaj water feature that cools the landscape, Areesh-inspired boundary screens, an outdoor majlis pavilion for gathering and a commissioned landmark fountain.
Day-to-day life is well served. Residents get cycling loops and a jogging track, a community pool and kids pool, a padel court, a gym, green corridors, picnic areas and a kids discovery garden. The community runs behind 24/7 gated security with on-site maintenance and retail, dining and the beach all lie within a kilometre.
The location connects you to the best of Saadiyat. A school and nursery are within walking distance, along with a mosque, while NYU Abu Dhabi, the marina and yacht club and the Saadiyat Cultural District, home to the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, are all close by. A family Beach Club, a one-kilometre promenade, a 73,800 sqm Central Park, 46 km of cycling trails and 140 km of walking paths are part of the Marsa Al Saadiyat, with an Etihad Rail station and future light rail keeping the rest of the city within easy reach.
Talay is developed with sustainability in mind. It targets an Estidama 3 Pearl rating with over 30% lower energy use and 42% lower water use, regionally sourced materials, low-emitting finishes for cleaner indoor air and energy-efficient lighting. As the villas in a brand new waterfront destination, Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat offer families and investors a rare early foothold on Saadiyat Island.
