What Is Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat?
Talay by Aldar is the first residential community to launch within Marsa Al Saadiyat, introducing a collection of large standalone villas to Saadiyat Island.
Rather than operating as an isolated villa community, Talay sits within a much larger coastal destination where homes, parks, education, culture, beaches, hospitality, dining and future transport infrastructure are being developed as part of one masterplan.
“Talay introduces the first opportunity to own within the residential story of Marsa Al Saadiyat.”

The Destination Around Talay
One of Talay's defining characteristics is its position inside the wider Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan, extending the Saadiyat lifestyle into a new waterfront district built around homes, parks, education, culture, hospitality and mobility.
Residents will also benefit from the wider Saadiyat ecosystem, including proximity to Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Saadiyat Cultural District, educational institutions and the island's established beachfront, hospitality and dining destinations.
