Marsa Al Saadiyat by Aldar - AED 100B Masterplan & investor guide

​Abu Dhabi just pulled the curtain back on Marsa Al Saadiyat, a massive AED 100 billion mega-project spearheaded by Aldar. Unveiled in the presence of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, the development, previously known as the Saadiyat Marina District, kickstarts the final, most ambitious chapter of Saadiyat Island's masterplan.

Spread across 6.4 million square metres, this waterfront community will house over 58,000 people, solidly establishing Abu Dhabi as a top global spot for luxury coastal living.

Major Masterplan highlights

Marsa Al Saadiyat stretches across 8 km of coastline, headlined by 5.6 km of untouched natural beach and Abu Dhabi's largest marina, which accommodates up to 350 luxury yachts. The development pairs high-end seaside living with smart, eco-focused design, weaving together 140 km of walkable paths and a dedicated 46 km cycling network.​

Residential options & housing types​

Aldar's AED 100 billion mega-project in Abu Dhabi delivers an exclusive lineup of high-end real estate crafted for potential buyers:

​Marsa AL Saadiyat: Private coastal mansions and luxurious villas sitting right along the shoreline

Hillside Residences: An elevated, standalone villa enclave located 22.5 metres above sea level to have the perfect landscape view

Waterfront & Branded living: High-end apartments and signature branded residences directly on the water.​

Lifestyle, education and healthcare

​Promenade & hospitality: A 1 km waterfront strip lined with vibrant dining and boutique shops, followed by two 5-star luxury hotels.

​Cultural access: Direct, walkable pathways leading straight to the Saadiyat Cultural District, placing world-class landmarks like the Louvre Abu Dhabi and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi right at your doorstep.​

Family & well-being: Access to top-three international schools, healthcare hubs, sports courts, and sprawling neighbourhood parks.

​Performing Arts: Front-row access to the new Frank Gehry-designed Dar Al Funoon venue.​

Location & access

Nestled right in the heart of Saadiyat's former marina zone, getting around couldn't get easier. Backed by Abu Dhabi's latest urban planning initiatives, fresh road links and tunnels connect you straight to Reem and Umm Yifeenah Islands. Even better, the masterplan features an underground Etihad Rail station, making way for a seamless connection across the UAE.​

Why it's a big deal for investors

Because this marks the very first residential phase on Saadiyat Island, supply is locked tight right as global demand hits its peak. Pair that scarcity with Aldar's reliable track record for value growth and strong rental returns, and Marsa Al Saadiyat stands out as a genuine, once-in-a-generation real estate opportunity.​
