Talay is an off-plan villa release by Aldar Properties at Marsa Al Saadiyat, Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, from AED 13,500,000, with handover scheduled for Q4 2029.<\/p>\n\n
Talay is the first of two gated villa communities Aldar has released at Marsa Al Saadiyat — 167 standalone four, five and six-bedroom homes on Saadiyat Island, from AED 13,500,000, handing over Q4 2029.<\/p>\n\n\n
Aldar released 351 villas across two gated communities at Marsa Al Saadiyat: Talay<\/strong> with 167 homes handing over Q4 2029, and Talay Beach<\/strong> with 184 homes handing over Q4 2030. Talay carries 167 of them. Its sibling community is covered on our Talay Beach page<\/a>, handing over Q4 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n The pricing works out at roughly AED 2,470 to AED 2,540 per sq ft of built area, which for a standalone villa on Saadiyat with beach access is not an outlier — it is the going rate for the island’s best ground. What you are actually buying at that number is scarcity: 167 homes inside a district planned for more than eighteen residential communities, released first, before any of the surrounding supply exists.<\/p>\n\n\n Plots run 720 to 800 sqm against built areas of 502 to 630 sqm, so every home keeps real garden rather than filling its plot. Interiors come in a choice of two palettes, Light or Dark. The service charge is quoted at AED 8 per sq ft — about AED 43,000 a year on a four-bedroom, AED 54,000 on a six.<\/p>\n\n\n Marsa Al Saadiyat is Aldar’s final masterplan for Saadiyat Island and the largest single announcement in Abu Dhabi’s property history: 744 hectares, 8 km of waterfront, 3.8 million sqm of total GFA, 129 hectares of green open space and more than eighteen residential communities, anchored by a marina and yacht club, a waterfront promenade, wellness clubs, schools, cultural landmarks, hospitality and retail. Talay and Talay Beach are the first two communities released from it.<\/p>\n\n\n The villas are contemporary and built around indoor-outdoor living. Aldar commissioned the Emirati artist Abdalla Almulla for bespoke louvre detailing across the homes and for a fountain in the community’s public realm — a level of art direction unusual on a villa release. What makes the address hard to replicate is what surrounds it: residents live alongside the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the forthcoming Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, the Zayed National Museum and the Natural History Museum. There is no comparable cultural concentration in the Gulf.<\/p>\n\n A 50\/50 plan: 50% spread across seven instalments through construction, 50% on handover in Q4 2029.<\/p>\n Service charge is quoted at AED 8 per sq ft.<\/p>\n Beyond the community gates, the Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan adds Abu Dhabi’s largest marina and a yacht club, a waterfront promenade, wellness clubs, three schools, a theatre district and an underground Etihad Rail high-speed station.<\/p>\n\n Saadiyat Island sits off Abu Dhabi’s north-eastern shore, ten minutes from the corniche, and is a freehold district open to buyers of all nationalities. It is the emirate’s cultural centre by design: the Louvre Abu Dhabi opened here in 2017, the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Zayed National Museum are under construction, and NYU Abu Dhabi, Cranleigh, Harrow International and the American Community School all have campuses on the island. Marsa Al Saadiyat occupies the island’s south-western waterfront, wrapping the ground behind the Louvre and the Guggenheim site.<\/p>\n\n Aldar Properties is Abu Dhabi’s largest developer and the master developer behind Saadiyat Island, Yas Island, Al Raha Beach and Alreeman. It is listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, which puts delivery risk here at the low end of the UAE market, and it is the developer the emirate turns to for its landmark masterplans. For the wider picture read our guide to Marsa Al Saadiyat<\/a> and our note on how buying in Abu Dhabi differs from Dubai<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n Starting prices are AED 13,500,000 for a four-bedroom of 502 sqm built area, AED 15,500,000 for a five-bedroom of 582 sqm and AED 17,200,000 for a six-bedroom of 630 sqm. That works out at roughly AED 2,470 to AED 2,540 per sq ft of built area. Plots run 720 to 800 sqm.<\/p>\n A 50\/50 structure: 5% on booking, then 5% on 1 March 2027, 5% on 1 September 2027, 5% on 1 March 2028, 10% on 1 August 2028, 10% on 1 January 2029 and 10% on 1 June 2029, with the remaining 50% on handover in Q4 2029.<\/p>\n They are two gated communities in the same release. Talay has 167 villas handing over Q4 2029; Talay Beach has 184 villas handing over Q4 2030 and carries the beach frontage. Talay Beach villas are fractionally larger at each bedroom count on identical plots, and its mix leans more to four-bedroom homes.<\/p>\n 4 Bedroom Villa, 502 sqm BUA (5,403 sq ft), 720 sqm plot, 60 villas; 5 Bedroom Villa, 582 sqm BUA (6,265 sq ft), 790 sqm plot, 49 villas; 6 Bedroom Villa, 630 sqm BUA (6,781 sq ft), 800 sqm plot, 58 villas.<\/p>\n AED 8 per sq ft — roughly AED 43,000 a year on a four-bedroom and AED 54,000 on a six-bedroom.<\/p>\n Yes.
