The masterplan
The last chapter on Saadiyat Island.
Saadiyat has been built out over two decades — the museums, the beaches, the cultural district, the schools. Marsa Al Saadiyat is the piece that closes it: the last major waterfront land on the island, and the largest single development Aldar has announced. Aldar calls it The Unforgettable.

The homes
Four ways to live on the water.
Aldar has confirmed the shape of the residential offer but not yet the detail. Layouts, sizes and prices come with the first release — which is exactly what the priority list is for.
- Private mansions
- The largest plots on the waterfront.
- Luxury villas
- Including a hillside community of stand-alone villas.
- Waterfront apartments
- Facing the marina, the beach and the promenade.
- Branded residences
- Operated addresses within the district.

Culture
A Gehry theatre at the end of the road.
Marsa Al Saadiyat sits beside the Saadiyat Cultural District — and gains Dar al Funoon Abu Dhabi, a 6,000-plus seat performing arts venue by Frank Gehry opening in 2030. This is the rare address where the cultural anchor is walking distance, not a drive.
Waterfront Wellness Club
A club on the water, not a gym in a basement.
Aldar is building a dedicated wellness club on the waterfront — a pool at the sea’s edge, private cabanas, fitness and curated wellness programming, signature dining and social spaces. It sits alongside the beach club as the district’s social centre.

Straight answer
What Aldar has not released yet
Marsa Al Saadiyat was announced as a masterplan on 22 July 2026. Aldar has published the district — its scale, its shoreline, its amenities and the kinds of homes it will hold — but unit layouts, sizes, prices and the payment plan have not been released. Enabling works begin in Q3 2026 and the first residential sales are expected in the second half of 2026.
Anyone quoting you a price for Marsa Al Saadiyat today is guessing. What the priority list buys you is order: registered buyers get the real price list, the real layouts and the real plan the day Aldar issues them, ahead of the public launch.
Also new · Saadiyat Cultural District
Sei Saadiyat. Balance and simplicity.
A second Aldar announcement on the island, and a very different proposition to Marsa: not a waterfront district but a collection of homes in the Cultural District, among the Louvre, the Zayed National Museum and the Guggenheim.
Aldar’s line for it is that a home should hold space, not fill it.
- Natural light
- Carried through the interiors rather than added to them.
- Proportion
- Rooms sized to how they are actually used.
- Honest materials
- Natural finishes, left to read as themselves.
- Quiet streets
- A community planned around calm, not throughput.
What is not out yet
Aldar has announced Sei Saadiyat and opened priority registration — nothing more. There are no unit types, sizes, prices, payment plan, handover date or renders in the public domain, and we will not show you Marsa imagery and call it Sei. Register and you get the real pack the day it exists.
