The six typologies run from a 2,196 sq ft townhome to a 12,378 sq ft Golf Mansion. The five-bedroom Range Villa is AED 10,150,000 at 5,888 sq ft. We put it head to head with Wadeem Gardens, and the island is set out in our Hudayriyat Island guide.

Every home is aimed at the water. The duplexes repeat across all seven buildings within a few square feet, so the view grade is the decision. The beach, the promenade and Coral Drive are at the door, and the island is set out in our Fahid Island guide.

The lowest entry on this list, and a neighbourhood that is already open.

Every villa is offered with a Contemporary Arabic or a Modernist façade, and ADIB finances up to 75% of the price at handover, subject to approval. The island’s sport and leisure are already open: Surf Abu Dhabi, the Velodrome, the cycling network and the beaches. We put it head to head with Talay on Saadiyat, and against Golf Estates on its own island, which our Hudayriyat Island guide sets out.

ALAIN Properties is building 121 furnished apartments on Saadiyat Island, in one block of six floors above a podium. Sixty per cent of the price falls due at handover in Q2 2028.
