Mandarin Oriental Residences

The Mandarin Oriental Residences will bring 226 homes to Saadiyat Island’s Cultural District. These range from one to four-bedroom apartments to five-bedroom penthouses, with sizes between approximately 1,108 sq ft and 21,807 sq ft. Developed by Aldar, the project is set for handover in Q3 2028. Architecture is led by the Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), and interiors are designed by Lillian Wu Studio. The design uses natural materials, such as wood, marble, and metal accents, and features floor‑to‑ceiling windows, grand chandeliers, and carefully sculpted lighting. Exterior terraces cascade like dunes toward the Zayed National Museum, which echoes the surrounding art district.

The residences are situated in the Saadiyat Cultural District, adjacent to landmarks such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum. Pristine Mamsha Beach is a short walk away, and Abu Dhabi International Airport can be reached in approximately 25 minutes by car. Road links connect to Yas Island, Al Reem, and the city centre.

All units are residential apartments, fully furnished and branded by Mandarin Oriental. Floor plans offer 1–5 bedroom options, with larger units featuring private pools on terraces. Prices start at AED 6.2 million for a one‑bed unit. Some listings indicate up to AED 42 million for prime penthouses.

Transport links are efficient, with direct roads to key areas. Parking is available, and residents enjoy services like valet and concierge. Healthcare access is strong, with clinics conveniently located nearby. Several education options are also located on Saadiyat Island. Inside the development, facilities include indoor and outdoor pools, fitness studios, a signature spa, salons, squash courts, a cinema, games rooms, a library, a residents’ lounge, a private dining room, co‑working spaces, conference rooms, and a cake shop. The Mandarin Oriental service includes housekeeping, catering, private chefs, event planning, travel planning, and private wellness sessions.

Mandarin Oriental Residences offers luxury living with iconic design, a culturally rich location, and branded hospitality. The seamless mix of architecture by BIG and interiors by Lillian Wu ensures luxury and comfort. The project aligns with Aldar’s commitment to high-value, community-focused developments. For buyers seeking prime cultural access and a branded residence, this represents a strong opportunity in Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious addresses.
