Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat by Aldar is a waterfront villa community at Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. Developed by Aldar, it is a low-density, serene enclave that combines modern design with its natural surroundings, offering beachfront living in one of the capital’s most prestigious island settings. The community has been planned around privacy, calm and family life, with open spaces, landscaped gardens and direct access to the island’s beaches.

The homes are G+1 villas in four to six bedroom layouts, with sizes from 5,372 to 6,778 sq ft. In total, the community comprises 351 villas, with 57 currently in sale. Prices start from AED 13,604,782, and handover is scheduled for Q4 2030. The payment plan is 50/50, with 5% payable on booking, 45% during construction and 50% on handover, giving buyers a clear and balanced route to completion.

Inside, the contemporary villas use natural materials and open-plan interiors, with floor-to-ceiling windows that bring in daylight and frame views of the water and greenery. Private terraces extend the living space outdoors, and in places homes offer direct beach or water access. It is a private, secure and family-oriented lifestyle, centred on a waterfront promenade, sports and play facilities, gardens and easy access to Saadiyat’s beaches, cultural district and nature reserve.

About Talay

Talay takes its character from its setting at Marsa Al Saadiyat, a waterfront destination on Saadiyat Island where the shoreline, mangroves and cultural landmarks sit close together. The architecture is calm and contemporary, favouring clean lines, warm natural finishes and generous proportions over ornament. Large windows and open layouts connect indoor rooms with terraces and gardens, so everyday living feels relaxed and outward-looking.

The scale of the community is deliberately low-density, which helps preserve a sense of seclusion even though the wider island offers world-class culture, leisure and hospitality. Families can enjoy a quieter pace of life at home, while the cultural district, beaches and nature reserve remain within easy reach.

Features & Amenities

Life at Talay is shaped by its waterfront promenade and its outdoor spaces. Residents can cycle and jog along landscaped routes, gather with family and friends in outdoor majlis areas, and enjoy swimming pools, a gym and sport courts. Children have dedicated play areas, including an outdoor kids play area, and there is a pet park for residents with animals. Together, these amenities support an active, sociable and family-friendly way of living, with the beach and the water never far away.

Investment Potential

With a starting price of AED 13,604,782, Talay sits firmly in Abu Dhabi’s prime villa market, where large waterfront homes on Saadiyat Island are in limited supply. The combination of an Aldar development, a low-density beachfront setting and four to six bedroom villas of 5,372 to 6,778 sq ft gives the community lasting appeal for both end users and long-term investors. Handover in Q4 2030 and a 50/50 payment plan also allow buyers to plan their purchase over the construction period.

At this price level, buyers may also be eligible for the UAE Golden Visa, subject to the applicable rules at the time of purchase. For investors, the appeal lies in a scarce waterfront product, strong family demand and the continued growth of Saadiyat Island as a cultural and residential destination.

Why Choose Talay

Talay offers a rare combination: a private, low-density villa community by Aldar, direct access to Saadiyat’s beaches and nature, and generous four to six bedroom homes designed for family living. The waterfront promenade, gardens, sports and play facilities and secure setting complete a lifestyle that is calm without being remote.

For buyers seeking a substantial beachfront villa on Saadiyat Island, with a clear payment plan and handover in Q4 2030, Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat is a compelling choice.
