Request release detailsThe wider destination
A new chapter for Saadiyat Island
Marsa Al Saadiyat is a masterplanned destination, rather than a single residential tower or villa release. Aldar presented the destination in July 2026 as the final phase of Saadiyat Island's wider masterplan. Its planned neighbourhoods bring residential life together with marina activity, beaches, cultural destinations and spaces for walking and cycling.
The range of homes described for the destination includes private mansions, luxury villas, waterfront apartments and branded residences. These are masterplan categories, not confirmation that every type is currently on sale. The first step is to identify the community or release being offered and match its actual homes to your requirements.

The first residential address
Talay and Talay Beach villas
Aldar identifies Talay and Talay Beach as the first residential address within Marsa Al Saadiyat. Together, the two communities bring 351 four- to six-bedroom villas. Talay is described around landscaped community living, while Talay Beach has a setting closer to the shore. The distinction is useful when comparing the atmosphere and position of individual homes.
The villas are presented with contemporary architecture, private gardens and outdoor spaces for family life. Talay places more emphasis on a landscaped neighbourhood atmosphere, while Talay Beach has a closer relationship to the shore. Comparing those two settings is a useful starting point before narrowing the choice to a layout and plot.
Marsa Al Saadiyat prices
Compare the current release and villa offer
Prices at a destination of this scale depend on the community, property type and individual home. Request a current offer for Talay, Talay Beach or another named release, with the price in AED and the payment schedule attached to that offer. A destination-wide starting figure can conceal differences between homes and release dates.
Keep the quotation, floor plan and payment milestones together when comparing options. Clarify any separate registration, management or service charges and the conditions of a reservation. This page does not display an unverified starting price or present a payment plan as applying to the entire Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan.
Life around the water
Marina beaches and a walkable coastline
The announced masterplan includes eight kilometres of coastline, 5.6 kilometres of beaches and a marina of approximately 350 berths. A waterfront promenade and yacht-club setting form part of the destination's planned character. These shared spaces are intended to connect coastal living with dining, leisure and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
For a buyer, the practical questions are how a home connects to those spaces and when the relevant facilities are expected to be delivered. Check the route from the selected plot to the waterfront, the access arrangements and the phasing shown in the current masterplan. Planned destination amenities should be distinguished from facilities already operating.
Community life
Homes connected to more of the island
Marsa Al Saadiyat combines its coastal setting with the wider cultural identity of Saadiyat Island. Aldar's plans include a theatre district anchored by Dar Al Funoon, while the destination is designed to connect with the Saadiyat Cultural District. Walking routes and cycling connections support movement within the masterplan.
For the first villa communities, Aldar presents swimming pools, fitness spaces, padel, children's play areas and places to meet outdoors. The combination supports family routines as well as time spent outside the home. Facilities belong to different parts of the development programme, so the selected community should be considered within the wider destination.

Location
Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island
The destination occupies the final phase of Saadiyat Island's masterplan in Abu Dhabi. The marina and coastline are central to its identity, while cultural institutions and the island's existing destinations provide the wider setting. The exact experience will differ between a waterfront apartment, a landscaped villa plot and a home closer to the beach.
Aldar has announced additional infrastructure connections as part of the destination's development. Proposed roads, tunnels and transport facilities should be treated as future infrastructure until delivered. Request the latest masterplan and the release-specific location map to evaluate current access separately from planned connectivity.
The master developer
Aldar and the development programme
Aldar is the master developer responsible for the overall design of Marsa Al Saadiyat and delivery of its primary infrastructure. Individual residential releases sit within that wider programme. A destination announcement establishes the scale and direction of the masterplan, while the selected purchase documents define the offer for a particular home.
When comparing Marsa Saadiyat villas, confirm the contracting entity, the release name, the current programme and the specification. This independent enquiry website does not represent Aldar as its operator and does not replace the developer's formal documentation. The enquiry team can help identify which release information is relevant to your search.

What are Marsa Al Saadiyat prices?
Request a current quotation for the named community and home. Property type, position, size and release date can affect the offer. We do not present an unverified destination-wide price as a guaranteed price for an available villa.
