The Ritz-Carlton Residences

It is a collection of 165 branded waterfront homes developed by SAAS Properties on Al Maryah Island in Abu Dhabi. The project was designed by Killa Design with interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners, and it offers full Ritz-Carlton hotel services to residents. Unit types include 1 to 4-bedroom residences, duplexes and a single penthouse ranging from 926 to 5,802 sq. ft.

The developer is SAAS Properties, a UAE-based developer behind several premium residential projects. They partnered with the Ritz-Carlton brand to deliver hotel-managed services within a private residential setting. Architecture was entrusted to internationally recognised firm Killa Design, known for the Museum of the Future in Dubai.

One-bedroom residences start at AED 3.95M, two-bedroom homes are priced from AED 7.4M and three-bedroom residences begin at AED 11.7M. The 4-bedroom duplex at 5,802 sq. ft. and the penthouse are available at premium price points. All prices are subject to change and buyers should confirm current availability directly.

The project offers a 40/60 payment plan with 10% payable on booking. Six further instalments of 5% each are scheduled between May 2027 and November 2029 during construction. The remaining 60% is due on handover, currently planned for Q1 2030.

Handover is scheduled for Q1 2030, giving buyers a construction period of several years to spread their payments. The 40/60 structure means the majority of the purchase price is only due upon completion. This timeline aligns with Abu Dhabi's broader infrastructure and island development programme.

Residents have access to concierge, butler, doorman, valet and porter services as standard, with optional personal chefs, in-residence dining and spa treatments. Shared amenities include indoor and outdoor pools, private cabanas, a spa, sauna, cold plunge room, gym, golf simulator, cinema, games room and a co-working lounge. Private dining rooms, a BBQ terrace, guest suites and meeting rooms are also available within the building.

The project sits on Al Maryah Island, Abu Dhabi's designated international financial centre and home to ADGM. ADGM, The Galleria mall and Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi are all approximately one minute away from the building. The island location provides open waterfront views while keeping residents connected to Abu Dhabi's top-tier retail, dining and healthcare facilities.

Al Maryah Island is Abu Dhabi's premium business and lifestyle address, and branded residences historically command price premiums over non-branded equivalents in the same area. Knight Frank reported an 18% year-on-year rise in apartment prices on nearby Al Reem Island as of June 2026, indicating strong broader demand, though actual returns will depend on market conditions at handover. The combination of Ritz-Carlton services, the Onvia Marriott Bonvoy Elite programme and limited supply of 165 units may support rental and resale demand.
