Talay

Talay is Aldar’s inland villa community within Marsa Al Saadiyat, the new waterfront destination on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. It is distinct from the separately named Talay Beach collection. Aldar’s official project page describes Talay and Talay Beach as two communities within a combined first residential address, while Aldar’s September 2026 launch announcement identifies Talay as a collection of standalone four-, five- and six-bedroom villas created around family life, landscaped open space and access to the coast. Homes are designed for indoor-outdoor living, with contemporary architecture, private gardens and generous family spaces. Current launch material referenced by established project sources places Talay’s gross saleable areas from approximately 5,403 sq ft for four-bedroom villas to 6,781 sq ft for six-bedroom villas. The same current sources publish an indicative starting price from AED 13.5 million and a 50/50 payment structure, comprising 5% on booking, a further 45% during construction and 50% on handover. Expected handover for the Talay collection is Q4 2029; Talay Beach follows a separate schedule. Prices, availability, areas and contractual milestones should be reconfirmed for the selected villa. The community is organised around a landscaped green spine with falaj-inspired water features, shaded gathering areas and an outdoor majlis pavilion. Aldar’s official page also lists a jogging track, fitness facilities, padel court, swimming pool, picnic areas, mosque, cycling loops, children’s play areas and beach access. Aldar’s launch announcement adds access to schools within the Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan and nearby educational institutions on Saadiyat Island. Talay is positioned for buyers seeking a large family villa in a low-density coastal masterplan with culture, education, marina facilities and waterfront leisure nearby. Buyers should compare the exact villa layout, agreed specifications and purchase documents before committing to a home.
