The address
A family home with the sea at the end of the street.
Talay is built around the things a family does every day — the school run, the beach after school, the evening by the water — and puts each of them within reach of the front door.
The beach
Within a kilometre of your front door, on a district with 8 km of beachfront coastline.
The marina
Moments from the marina and yacht club — 350 docks, built for yachts of up to 101 metres.
School run
A school and nursery within walking distance, and NYU Abu Dhabi nearby.
The culture
Close to the Saadiyat Cultural District, with the Louvre and Guggenheim Abu Dhabi a short drive away.
The villas
Crafted to be unforgettable.
Generous 4 to 6-bedroom layouts with private backyards give families room to grow. Contemporary architecture with a choice of façades gives each villa its own character along the street.

Unforgettable, for generations.

Questions
Talay, answered.
What is Talay?
Talay is the first residential address at Marsa Al Saadiyat — a collection of 4 to 6-bedroom villas by Aldar, designed for family life, with private backyards and a choice of contemporary façades.
Where is it?
Inside Marsa Al Saadiyat on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi — within a kilometre of the beach, moments from the marina and yacht club, with a school and nursery within walking distance and the Saadiyat Cultural District close by.
How much are the villas, and what is the payment plan?
Aldar has not released prices, the payment plan, villa sizes or a handover date for Talay yet. Register and we send them the moment they are published.
