Dubai: This time, it's Abu Dhabi's luxury property market that's riding a wave - with a mansion on Saadiyat Island selling for Dh400 million.

This makes it one of the most pricey residential deals in the emirate, according to Aldar, the master-developer of Saadiyat Island.

The 8-bedroom mansion is part of 'Faya Al Saadiyat', a beachfront community located on one of the last remaining villa plots on Saadiyat Island.

"The sale reflects the sustained growth of Abu Dhabi’s luxury real estate market," said a statement. And a market that's 'driven by strong demand from high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), long-term residents, and international investors.'

It follows the Dh137 million sale of Aldar’s Nobu Residences Abu Dhabi penthouse on Saadiyat Island.

In the first-half of 2025, Dubai property market saw record numbers of $10 million and over homes being bought.

In H1-2025, Aldar drew Dh5 billion in sales on Saadiyat Island. Expats made up 86% of buyers, including 46% residents and 40% non-residents, with buyers from Russia, France, the UK, China and US leading.

The Dh400 million mansion is located directly on Saadiyat Island’s beach and within the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. It has the 'largest allocation of space on the island, spanning 6,561 square metres'.

"Recognised as the crown jewel of Abu Dhabi’s luxury real estate, Saadiyat Island continues to attract homebuyers and investors from around the world," said Jonathan Emery, CEO at Aldar Development.
