Mandarin Oriental Residences at Saadiyat Island

Mandarin Oriental Residences is a prestigious residential development by Aldar Properties, located in the heart of the Saadiyat Cultural District on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. As the first-ever branded residential complex by Mandarin Oriental in the capital, this project introduces a new standard of luxury living, blending world-class hospitality with timeless design. The development features a sophisticated selection of 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and opulent 5-bedroom penthouses, all managed by the globally celebrated Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group.

Designed by the renowned Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), the residences reflect a contemporary architectural style that harmonizes beautifully with the artistic and cultural essence of the surrounding district. In early 2025, the launch of a new phase was announced, expanding the project’s offering to meet high demand. In total, the development includes 226 branded homes, with select 3–4-bedroom units and all penthouses featuring private pools. The layouts range from approximately 1,109 sq. ft to an expansive 23,745 sq. ft, providing generous living spaces and panoramic views.

Each home is elegantly curated by Lillian Wu Studio, a New York-based interior design firm known for its refined aesthetic. Expect warm tones, natural marbles, grand chandeliers, and expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that bathe interiors in natural light. Every detail — from artisanal finishes to ambient lighting — is carefully crafted to evoke a sense of comfort and quiet sophistication. The result is a residence that feels both intimate and grand, offering a serene haven in one of Abu Dhabi’s most vibrant locales.

True to the Mandarin Oriental legacy, residents will enjoy a lifestyle of exceptional service and amenities. From private dining, housekeeping, and concierge services to holistic wellness programs at The Spa, every element is tailored to elevate daily life. Overlooking the Zayed National Museum, with close proximity to Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and more, Mandarin Oriental Residences offers a rare opportunity to live at the cultural heart of the UAE with legendary service and unmatched refinement.
