About the project

About Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat

Talay is the first residential address at Marsa Al Saadiyat, Aldar's AED 100 billion waterfront destination and the final chapter of the Saadiyat Island masterplan. Named after the shoreline birds that always return home, it is a gated collection of 167 standalone 4, 5 and 6-bedroom villas designed around family life.

Each villa offers generous indoor-outdoor living with a private backyard, en-suite bedrooms, a first-floor family retreat, a maid's room, a wet kitchen and provision for a private lift. Buyers choose between two façade expressions — the Signature Collection with its slanted roof and curved feature walls, or the Sculpted Collection with a sweeping roofline and textured stone — and a light or dark interior finish scheme. Integrated smart-home systems control lighting, climate and security.

At the heart of the community is a green corridor with a flowing aflaj water feature, an outdoor majlis pavilion, a maritime-inspired kids' discovery garden and a landmark fountain. Areesh-inspired boundary walls by Emirati designer Abdalla Almulla reinterpret traditional palm-frond craft. Residents enjoy exclusive beach access, a community pool and kids' pool, padel courts, a gym, a pet park, EV charging and 24/7 security.

Everyday life is close by: a mosque 100 m away, a school 300 m away, a beach club at 650 m and the marina at 1 km. Marsa Al Saadiyat brings 5 private schools, a public school and 6 nurseries, Abu Dhabi's largest marina with 350+ berths, a 73,800 sqm central park, 46 km of cycling tracks and 140 km of walking paths. The Saadiyat Cultural District — Louvre, Guggenheim and Zayed National Museum — is about five minutes away, and ADGM is 12 minutes.

Targeting an Estidama 3 Pearl rating, with 30%+ lower energy use and 42% lower water use.

Starting from AED 13.5M on a 50/50 payment plan, with handover estimated Q4 2029.
