Leading Abu Dhabi developer Aldar Properties has announced the launch of Saadiyat Lagoons, a nature-inspired residential community surrounded by stunning mangroves and overlooking the Arabian Gulf – exclusively for UAE nationals.

Aldar said the first phase of the integrated development features 207 villas – available in four-, five- and six-bedroom layouts, offering buyers a wide choice of villa living in a unique setting.

 The community has been designed with a series of residential clusters in three zones and each zone will feature homes with distinct architectural styles, it stated.

Work on Saadiyat Lagoons will begin in Q2 next year, with handovers expected in mid-2026.

 “It is located on one of the most desirable pieces of land in Abu Dhabi, which makes it an incredibly exciting proposition. Each aspect of the development has been carefully planned in response to the changing needs of our customers, including the amenities, sustainable design, and options for home customisation,” said Chief Commercial Officer Rashed Al Omaira.

 The community will feature a range of amenities including an eco-corniche, amphitheatre, dry deck water play area, skate park, paddle, basketball, and volleyball courts, climbing wall, playgrounds and ample green spaces and parks.

 Within the community, residents will also have access to schools and early learning centres, retail as well as food and beverage (F&B) outlets, a health clinic, petrol stations, a multi-purpose events venue, barbecue and picnic areas, mosques and three majalises.

“Once completed, the community will boost Saadiyat Island’s position as a fully developed residential, cultural, and leisure destination and we expect to see strong demand amongst UAE nationals,” he added.
