Mornings here arrive quietly: the gentle hush of waves, the soft glow across white sand. At Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach, life will be lived in moments like these – where the coast isn’t a backdrop but an architect of each day. Nestled on one of the Arabian Gulf’s most pristine shores, this new enclave—slated to open in 2029—promises to blend coastal elegance with a deeply curated life, offering a rare chance to own in Saadiyat’s private realm.
The Island as Muse
Life on Saadiyat Island has always been defined by contrasts: untamed dunes yielding to manicured palms, turquoise waters flowing toward cultural landmarks, ancient migratory pathways intersecting with contemporary architecture. It is a place where endangered hawksbill turtles nest in quiet coves as the dome of the Louvre Abu Dhabi gleams just down the shore.
For future residents, this idyllic geography means more than scenery. It is an everyday reality: morning swims in the Arabian Gulf’s clear waters, walks shaded by mangroves, evenings spent beneath skies streaked with balmy desert light. Life here is a rhythm, not a routine—whether you’re watching the tide roll in, pausing for birdsong on a tree-lined trail or taking in an exhibition at the island’s cultural district.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi and Zayed National Museum are just minutes from your Four Seasons Private Residence, along with the site of the highly anticipated Guggenheim Abu Dhabi. Within a short drive, the wider city of Abu Dhabi and its cultural heartbeats—music, art, performance, shopping—await. Still, this new community will feel as though it were in another world, one shaped by dunes, palm fronds and sea air, even as it connects seamlessly to the pulse of the capital.
A Dance of Form and Function
Bringing this vision to life is a collaboration between Killa Design, renowned for reshaping the architectural language of the region, and LW Design Group, specialists in interiors that evoke quiet sophistication. Designed in harmony and built with grace, the residences themselves will follow the elegant flow of the island’s coastal landscape, a symphony of design and natural beauty. Façades will curve like waves meeting the sand, while organic tones and fluid lines echo the island’s contours. Landscaping and interiors combine in harmony, creating homes that feel less like structures placed on the land than extensions of it. The overall sense is one of openness and ease, of architecture in dialogue with its natural setting.
Within this island oasis, Four Seasons will offer a thoughtful mix of 56 villas (a select few rising into beach mansions) and 60 suites, including penthouses and royal residences—each crafted with the same dedication to refinement. Every residence will be laid out to maximize openness, with living rooms positioned to make the most of stunning vistas, glass walls that dissolve boundaries, and terraces that overlook serene waters and lush landscapes. Natural stone and timber will anchor the interiors, their rich textures highlighted by abundant natural light. Kitchens will be outfitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances, while bathrooms will boast sculptural Agape bathtubs and Gessi fittings. Two distinct palettes—Light and Semi-Dark—will allow residents to shape the atmosphere of their homes, choosing between contemporary serenity and refined elegance.
Life With More
Life within the Four Seasons community offers a natural extension of home, one that balances retreat, wellness and connection. The shoreline itself is its own amenity, with residents able to step directly onto Saadiyat’s white sands, while a series of pools, shaded terraces and a poolside bar create spaces for languid afternoons and easy gatherings.
Indoors, the Residents’ Lounge sets a tone of understated elegance, serving aromatic coffees, specialty teas and light bites in an atmosphere that feels both refined and familiar. Wellness follows its own rhythm here: a spa with private treatment rooms, studios for yoga and meditation and a state-of-the-art fitness centre, as well as tennis and padel courts for more active play.
Children can explore playrooms, outdoor playgrounds and even their own pool, while adults can indulge and unwind in the cigar lounge, golf simulator, private cinema or in the quiet corners designed for games and conversation. Even four-legged companions are not overlooked, with dedicated pet-grooming facilities ensuring care extends to every member of the family.
The Care That Makes a Home
If design provides the framework, it’s service that will give the residences their distinctive flow. At Four Seasons Private Residences Abu Dhabi at Saadiyat Beach, a dedicated residential team led by a Residences General Manager becomes part of the fabric of daily life—ever present, yet unobtrusive.
Arrivals are eased by a Concierge and valet; everyday care is handled quietly through housekeeping, landscaping and round-the-clock security. And when more is needed, the team arranges it seamlessly: an in-residence spa treatment after a long day of travel, a private chef for an evening with friends, childcare when schedules demand and even attentive care for a beloved pet.
What emerges is a way of living in which details recede, time expands and both you and your home feel continually cared for. The Four Seasons team does not stand apart from residents’ lives but alongside them, offering discretion, warmth and the kind of intuitive care that transforms a property into a true home.
A Living Masterpiece
Your residence is more than a structure of glass, metal and stone. It is a living canvas, sculpted by sea, light, breeze and legendary Four Seasons care. To live here is to awaken daily to the sound of waves lapping on the beach, enjoy mid-day strolls through coastal gardens and then retreat to a sanctuary of your own making—a life with the kind of rhythm that feels effortless, guided as much by nature’s steady hand as by your own.
It is not an escape—it is an arrival. Welcome home.
