Area guide
Living in Saadiyat Island
Saadiyat Island is Abu Dhabi's cultural and beachfront district, just off the coast of the city. It is best known for the Louvre Abu Dhabi and for long stretches of natural beach, which give it a calmer, more resort-like feel than the city centre.

Homes are mostly low-rise apartments and villas. That suits families, second-home buyers and investors who want a premium address in Abu Dhabi without the density of the downtown towers.
Schools and everyday needs
Saadiyat has grown into a full residential district. NYU Abu Dhabi has its campus on the island, and international schools are located nearby, so it is worth checking school-run times for the exact plot you are considering.
Supermarkets, clinics and cafes are found within the island's communities or a short drive away, and the mainland is easily reached for anything more specialised.
Beaches, parks and leisure
The beach is the main attraction. Public beach areas and beach clubs line the shore, and parts of the coastline are protected habitat. Saadiyat also has a golf course, and the Cultural District brings museums and galleries within easy reach of residents.
Getting around
Saadiyat is linked to the mainland and to neighbouring Yas Island by road. Downtown Abu Dhabi is typically a drive of roughly 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, and Zayed International Airport is also within comfortable reach.
