Waterfront apartment Abu Dhabi price: what is actually published
Among Ramhan Island, Sei Saadiyat and SENSI, only SENSI has a published apartment price, from AED 2.8 million. The other two remain price on request at the time of writing.
A waterfront apartment in Abu Dhabi, in our current collection, has one confirmed price: SENSI, on Saadiyat Island, from AED 2.8 million. Ramhan Island's marina residences apartments and Sei Saadiyat's units both remain price on request, so a search for "the" waterfront apartment price in Abu Dhabi only gets a firm, reliable answer from one of these three projects today.
Three waterfront-adjacent projects, three clearly different stages
- SENSI (Reportage Properties, Saadiyat Island): 89 homes near New York University Abu Dhabi, apartments from AED 2.8 million, price confirmed.
- Sei Saadiyat (Aldar Properties, Saadiyat Cultural District): 778 homes across six buildings, apartments and mezzanine-level lofts, price on request.
- Ramhan Island (Eagle Hills, Ramhan Island): marina residences apartments within a 900-apartment, 1,060-villa masterplan, price on request.
Why "waterfront" does not automatically mean a published price
Saadiyat Island and Ramhan Island are both built around water, a cultural coastline on one side, a private island marina on the other, but that physical setting does not determine whether a developer has released pricing. SENSI happens to be furthest along in its commercial launch among the three, which is why it is the one with a confirmed figure.
What each project confirms about its waterfront position
SENSI's fiche does not itself describe a direct beachfront orientation; its waterfront relevance in this search comes from its Saadiyat Island setting. Ramhan Island's marina residences sit within a masterplan built around a 170-berth marina and yacht club, a more direct waterfront connection than SENSI's. Sei Saadiyat's amenity programme centres on a zen garden and hot and cold pools rather than a stated beachfront aspect.
Registration and financing apply the same way to all three
Whichever of these you reserve, the developer registers the sale with the Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre through the DARI platform, at 2% of the price for full ownership or 1% for a musataha right, plus a 400 dirham electronic services allowance excluding 5% VAT. A bank loan also remains possible for certain non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval, regardless of whether the project you choose already has a published price.
Side-by-side comparison
| Project | Waterfront connection | Price |
|---|---|---|
| SENSI | Saadiyat Island setting, not beachfront-specific | From AED 2.8 million |
| Ramhan Island | Marina residences within a 170-berth marina masterplan | On request |
| Sei Saadiyat | Island setting, amenity-led rather than beachfront | On request |

A note on timing
Prices and payment plans change as projects move through their commercial launch, so the figures above reflect our most recent verification rather than a permanent snapshot; your adviser reconfirms the current status before you commit to any one of these three.
Typologies differ as much as price
SENSI's 89 homes mix 2 and 3 bedroom apartments with 4 bedroom townhouses, a smaller and more tightly curated release than Sei Saadiyat's 778-home plan across six buildings, which includes double-height, mezzanine-level lofts alongside standard apartments. Ramhan Island's marina residences sit within an entirely different structure again, a large mixed villa-and-apartment masterplan rather than a single building. These differences matter as much as price once you start comparing the three directly.
Golden Visa only applies to the priced project
At AED 2.8 million, SENSI clears the AED 2 million Golden Visa threshold, subject to conditions confirmed by the authorities. Ramhan Island and Sei Saadiyat cannot be assessed against that threshold until a price is published.
