Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat comprises 351 individual villas across three bedroom counts: 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms, ranging from 502 to 634 sqm. Handover is set for Q4 2030. Price is on request, confirmed by your adviser as units release.
The first community inside Marsa Al Saadiyat
Talay is the first residential community launched within Marsa Al Saadiyat, Aldar's beachfront masterplan described as the last phase of Saadiyat Island's development: 6.4 million sqm of land and 8 kilometres of coastline, with three schools planned across the wider masterplan. Talay itself launched commercially on 23 September 2026 and sits within this larger vision, developed by Aldar Properties.
Villa sizes, bedroom by bedroom
- 351 individual villas in total, released as one community.
- Bedroom counts: 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms.
- Size range across the release: 502 to 634 sqm.
- Price: on request, confirmed per unit by your adviser.
Aldar publishes the overall 502 to 634 sqm range for the full 351-villa release without breaking out a separate band for each bedroom count. Your adviser confirms the exact size tied to a specific 4-, 5- or 6-bedroom villa and plot once you identify a unit you want to view.
What sits around the villas
Talay's layout includes a green canal inspired by the falaj irrigation channel, an outdoor majlis, direct beach access, and a school planned on site within the community. Claustra screens and a fountain designed by Emirati artist Abdalla Almulla feature among the design details Aldar highlights for the project. An underground Etihad Rail station is planned for the wider district, according to the fiche, though no opening date or distance figure is published.
Who a Talay villa suits
With an entry point starting at 4 bedrooms rather than at a smaller apartment or townhouse layout, Talay is built for a buyer who already knows they want standalone villa living rather than a flat or a shared building. The direct beach access and the falaj-inspired canal running through the community point toward a family looking for outdoor space and a resort-style setting, rather than a buyer prioritising a city-centre apartment. The 6-bedroom option, at the upper end of the 502 to 634 sqm range, suits a larger household or a buyer planning for extended family or regular guests, while the 4-bedroom option remains the more accessible entry point into the same community for a smaller household.

Handover: Q4 2030, with no payment plan published yet
Talay's handover is confirmed for the fourth quarter of 2030. As of this writing, Aldar has not published a payment plan or starting price for Talay; both figures are confirmed by your adviser directly, project unit by unit, as they become available. Given the 2030 handover and the project's early commercial launch in September 2026, a buyer should expect a multi-year construction period ahead before keys are handed over.
How Talay compares within the Saadiyat collection
Talay sits alongside Sei Saadiyat, another Aldar project on Saadiyat Island, though the two target different buyers: Sei Saadiyat offers 1- to 3-bedroom apartments and lofts with a Q4 2030 handover as well, while Talay is villa-only, starting at 4 bedrooms. SENSI, developed by Reportage Properties, offers a smaller-scale mix of apartments and townhouses from 2.8M AED, a published starting price that Talay does not yet have.
What to confirm before shortlisting a villa
Three points are not yet public for Talay: the exact size tied to each bedroom count within the 502 to 634 sqm range, the starting price, and the payment plan structure. These are the details your adviser verifies directly with Aldar Properties as the project moves further into sales.
