Villa for sale in Abu Dhabi, Saadiyat: Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat
Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat brings 351 individual villas to Saadiyat Island, 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms, direct beach access. Price and payment plan remain on request ahead of a Q4 2030 handover.
A villa for sale in Abu Dhabi on Saadiyat Island, in our current collection, means Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat: 351 individual villas with 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms, launched by Aldar Properties on 23 September 2026. Price and payment plan are not published yet; handover is targeted for the fourth quarter of 2030, according to the developer's own materials.
The first community in a new masterplan
Talay is the first community released within Marsa Al Saadiyat, Aldar's waterfront masterplan described as the "last phase" of Saadiyat Island's development. The wider masterplan covers 6.4 million square metres with 8 kilometres of coastline and three planned schools, one of them inside the Talay community itself.
Villa sizes and design
Villas range from 502 to 634 square metres across the 4, 5 and 6 bedroom configurations. The community is built around a green corridor with canals inspired by the traditional falaj irrigation system, alongside an outdoor majlis space and direct beach access for residents. Perforated screens and a fountain designed by Emirati artist Abdalla Almulla add a cultural reference point within the public realm.
Transport context, without a distance claim
A planned underground Etihad Rail station sits within the wider district, according to Aldar's own materials. No distance or travel time to this station, or to any other point of reference, is confirmed on our fiche, and we do not estimate one.
Schools and amenities within the community
One of the three planned schools in the wider Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan sits inside the Talay community itself, alongside the green corridor, outdoor majlis and direct beach access, making it a consideration for buyers planning a family home rather than a pied-à-terre.
What remains unpublished
Neither the price nor the payment plan for Talay is published at this stage, which is typical for a community only recently launched. Your adviser requests a current figure directly from Aldar once you have identified the villa size that interests you.
How Talay sits within Saadiyat's two speeds
Saadiyat Island currently shows two different commercial speeds in our collection. SENSI, an 89-home Reportage Properties project, already publishes a price from AED 2.8 million. Talay, by contrast, only launched on 23 September 2026 and has not reached that stage yet. Both are legitimately part of "Saadiyat Island," but a buyer comparing them is really comparing an established price against a newly launched villa community.

Reserving ahead of a published price
Since Talay has no price yet, your adviser's first step is a written request to Aldar for an indicative figure based on your preferred villa size. From there, the standard Abu Dhabi off-plan sequence applies: a reservation agreement, a signed SPA, and registration of the sale with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre through the DARI platform, handled by Aldar within 21 days of the sale, at 2% of the price for full ownership.
Villa summary table
| Tier | Size | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 4 bedroom | From 502 sq m | On request |
| 5 bedroom | Mid-range | On request |
| 6 bedroom | Up to 634 sq m | On request |
Golden Visa: confirmed only once priced
A property investment of at least AED 2 million opens the door to a Golden Visa application, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Given villas of this size and the Saadiyat Island address, a final price above that threshold is plausible, but nothing is confirmed until Aldar releases a figure.
