Discover Sei Saadiyat by Aldar, offering 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom Kanso Lofts and 3-bedroom Kanso Residences in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District, with prices starting from AED 2.95M, a 50/50 payment plan and scheduled handover in Q4 2030.
Sei Saadiyat is a new residential development by Aldar Properties in the Saadiyat Cultural District, one of Abu Dhabi’s most distinctive cultural and residential destinations. The development introduces a considered collection of 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom Kanso Lofts and 3-bedroom Kanso Residences shaped around balance, simplicity and contemporary urban living.
Its location places residents within the wider museum and cultural precinct of Saadiyat Island, surrounded by internationally recognised architecture, established lifestyle destinations and Abu Dhabi’s protected coastline. The project combines the convenience of apartment living with the character and cultural significance of its Saadiyat Island setting.
Sei Saadiyat is scheduled for handover in Q4 2030 and is available with a 50/50 payment plan, with prices starting from AED 2.95M and an average unit size of 70 to 208 square metres. Dimensioned floor plans for every residence type are released and shown on the Floor Plans page.
The residences at Sei Saadiyat comprise 1 and 2-bedroom apartments, 2-bedroom Kanso Lofts and 3-bedroom Kanso Residences, priced from AED 2.95M and created for different lifestyles and space requirements. Selected residences also come with maid's room options. The collection is expected to reflect Aldar’s emphasis on thoughtful planning, contemporary design and comfortable everyday living.
Each residence will form part of a new community within the Saadiyat Cultural District, offering buyers an opportunity to own a home in one of Abu Dhabi’s most recognisable investment destinations. Detailed apartment sizes, layouts, specifications and availability will be confirmed through Aldar’s official sales documentation.
The 1-bedroom apartments at Sei Saadiyat are planned for residents who value privacy, practical living spaces and a separate bedroom. These homes provide an attractive option for professionals, couples and investors interested in a modern Saadiyat Island residence. Selected residences include a maid’s room option. Individual layouts and sizes remain subject to the official project release.
Sei Saadiyat’s 2-bedroom apartments are designed for buyers requiring additional space for family living, guests or flexible home use. With two private bedrooms and connected living areas, these residences are positioned as comfortable homes within Abu Dhabi’s cultural district. Selected residences include a maid’s room option. Final layouts, floor areas and specifications will be confirmed by Aldar.
The Kanso Lofts bring a double-height loft layout to Sei Saadiyat’s 2-bedroom offering, for buyers who want more volume and a distinct sense of space than the standard apartment plan. Some Kanso Lofts are expected to include a maid’s room option. Confirmed layouts and floor areas will follow with the official inventory.
The Kanso Residences represent the most spacious currently announced residence type at Sei Saadiyat, created for families and buyers looking for larger living arrangements. Selected Kanso Residences are expected to include a maid’s room option. The dimensioned floor plan is released; views and availability are yet to be published.
Sei Saadiyat’s amenities are organised around four experiences: spaces to move with intention, restore body and mind, connect with others, and pause outdoors.
An outdoor yoga deck, three mind-and-body studios for fitness, yoga and aerial yoga, sports courts, an outdoor fitness area, an indoor kids’ club with outdoor play areas, and a bike store and repair area.
Hot and cold plunge baths, a spa with sauna and treatment room, rooftop pools and social gardens, a zen garden with a serenity pool, a specialist wellbeing clinic and private cinema rooms.
Co-working areas, a library and gaming lounge, a café, bakery and family dining space, and a run of everyday services within the development.
A discovery trail, a pocket garden and pod garden, a central lawn with an event stage, and a dedicated pets park.
A home should hold space, not fill it — designed around what you do not need, as much as what you do.
The Saadiyat Cultural District is the emirate's museum quarter — buildings by Jean Nouvel, Foster + Partners, Frank Gehry and Mecanoo, set within walking distance of one another on the western tip of Saadiyat Island. Sei Saadiyat sits inside it, which means the institutions are neighbours rather than day trips.

Saadiyat is a natural island off the north-east coast of Abu Dhabi. From Sei Saadiyat, Aldar states drive times of 12 minutes to Abu Dhabi city centre, the Corniche and Al Reem Island, 20 minutes to Yas Island, 25 minutes to Zayed International Airport and around 85 minutes to Dubai International Airport.
Its beach is one of the few in the Gulf where hawksbill turtles still nest, and building along it is regulated to keep it that way. Around the museums sit Saadiyat Grove, the Mamsha Al Saadiyat beachfront promenade, two golf courses, the island's international schools and a run of beach hotels.
Saadiyat Island is a designated investment zone, where non-UAE nationals can buy freehold title. The specific tenure terms for Sei Saadiyat will be confirmed with the launch documentation.
Saadiyat puts a national museum, two of the most photographed buildings in the Gulf, nine kilometres of protected beach and a championship links inside a single address. Sei Saadiyat sits within that, though its exact plot has not been disclosed — so no walking times are quoted here.
Foster + Partners' steel-winged museum of the UAE's founding, open since December 2025 — the closest of the institutions to the district's residential streets.
Jean Nouvel's floating dome, open since 2017 and still the district's signature building — twenty-three galleries under a lattice that rains light.
Frank Gehry's largest Guggenheim opens on 11 December 2026 — the piece that completes the Cultural District and the reason the area's timing matters.
Nine kilometres of protected white sand and clear shallow water. Hawksbill turtles still nest along it, and building near it is regulated to keep that true.
A Gary Player-designed championship course laid out through the dunes on the ocean side of the island, with the Abu Dhabi skyline on the horizon.
A run of five-star beach resorts along the coast, with restaurants, spas and beach clubs that residents of the island use year-round.
Four ideas run through the way Aldar has introduced Sei Saadiyat, shown here in official CGI renders of the interiors and Kanso Lofts.
“Culture surrounds us. Life returns to what matters. Welcome home to Sei.” — Aldar Properties
Interiors planned around the daylight that is already there, rather than corrected for later with fittings.
Rooms proportioned for how they are actually lived in — generous where it counts, without excess to maintain.
Honest, natural finishes chosen because they age well, not because they announce themselves on day one.
A pace set by quiet streets and low density — a residential address inside a district built for visitors.
The product has not been released, so there is nothing here about layouts or price. What can be said is what surrounds the project, who is building it, and what that has meant on this island so far.
Louvre Abu Dhabi, Zayed National Museum and teamLab Phenomena are already open in this district, and Frank Gehry's Guggenheim opens on 11 December 2026. All of them are within walking distance of one another.
Abu Dhabi's largest listed developer, and the master developer behind most of the island's residential fabric — from Saadiyat Grove to the AED 100 billion Marsa Al Saadiyat masterplan announced in July 2026.
The Row Saadiyat — seven nine-storey buildings by Bjarke Ingels Group, 315 homes in its first release — and the 77-residence Baccarat Residences Saadiyat show the standard the district now runs at. Both are separate Aldar projects.
Saadiyat is a designated investment zone open to non-UAE buyers, with nine kilometres of regulated turtle-nesting beach, two championship courses and international schools already in place.
Sei Saadiyat is developed by Aldar Properties, one of Abu Dhabi’s leading real estate development companies and the developer behind much of Saadiyat Island as it stands today.
The collection sits within the Saadiyat Cultural District, the museum quarter that holds Louvre Abu Dhabi, teamLab Phenomena, Zayed National Museum and the Abrahamic Family House, with the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi and the Natural History Museum to follow.
Sei Saadiyat by Aldar offers a 50/50 payment plan, with a 5% down payment due on booking. The remaining balance is split evenly between the construction period and handover.
Payable on booking to secure the selected residence.
Spread across the construction period through to completion, completing the first 50% of the plan.
The balance falls due when the residence is handed over.
