stunning eight-bedroom mansion in Aldar’s Faya Al Saadiyat community has set a new standard for ultra-luxury living in the UAE capital, selling for a record AED 400 million (US$108.9 million). This milestone sale is nearly three times higher than Abu Dhabi’s previous property record, underlining the emirate’s growing appeal among global high-net-worth buyers.
Faya Al Saadiyat: The Pinnacle of Beachfront Luxury
Faya Al Saadiyat stands as an exclusive gated community on one of Saadiyat Island’s final villa plots, nestled within the acclaimed Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. The recently sold mansion is not just the most expensive residential property in Abu Dhabi history, but also a symbol of ultimate architectural sophistication, privacy, and indulgence.
The estate spans an impressive 6,561 square metres, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of the island’s natural landscape—water, greenery, and beaches—all in perfect harmony.
Luxury Redefined: Features and Amenities
This record-breaking mansion offers residents a world of unrivaled amenities, including:
A private car gallery
Golf simulator
In-house cinema
Wellness and fitness suites
Direct access to one of the UAE’s most desirable private beaches
A beachfront pool anchoring the expansive living and recreational spaces
The property’s interior is equally spectacular, with Italian-made kitchens and wardrobes, bespoke joinery, state-of-the-art appliances, and minimalist open-plan layouts. Designed by renowned firms 1508 London Interior Design Studio and Nordic Office Architects, the mansion’s style draws inspiration from Saadiyat Island’s unique landscape and wildlife, blending indigenous materials with modern elegance.
Saadiyat Island: Abu Dhabi’s Crown Jewel
Saadiyat Island has become the emirate’s most prestigious address, now home to just 21 super-luxury residences in Faya Al Saadiyat—including two eight-bedroom mansions and 19 six- and seven-bedroom villas, all scheduled for completion in 2028. In the first half of 2025 alone, Aldar recorded a staggering AED 5 billion (US$1.36 billion) in Saadiyat Island sales. Expatriates accounted for 86% of buyers, with leading nationalities including Russia, France, the UK, China, and the US. This surge reflects Abu Dhabi’s reputation as a global investment destination and the appeal of its lifestyle, culture, and progressive policies.
A New Era for Ultra-Luxury Living in Abu Dhabi
As Abu Dhabi’s population surpasses four million, record-breaking sales like this demonstrate the emirate’s evolution into a magnet for international investors and affluent homebuyers seeking an unrivaled lifestyle. With visionary developments like Faya Al Saadiyat, the future of luxury real estate in Abu Dhabi looks brighter than ever.
