Talay at Marsa Al Saadiyat: prices, payment plan, villa types and launch date

Talay is 167 villas and Talay Beach is 184, and they go on sale together on 23 September 2026 as one release of 351 homes. Both carry 4, 5 and 6-bedroom layouts, contemporary facades and private backyards. The practical difference for a buyer is the handover estimate: Aldar states that handover commences in Q4 2029 for Talay and Q4 2030 for Talay Beach, a year apart, which changes both the payment timeline and how long the money is committed before anyone lives in the house.

Marsa Al Saadiyat itself is the masterplan around them, announced on 22 July 2026 on Saadiyat Island and formerly called Saadiyat Marina District. Aldar puts it at 6.4 million square metres with a development value of AED 100 billion. Talay is its first residential address, which is the reason this release is priced and watched the way it is.

One price is confirmed: the project starts at AED 13.5 million. That figure is on Aldar's own fact sheet and it is the number to quote.

The three figures in that table are broker-published indications, not authenticated unit quotations, and they are not separately verified Talay Beach prices. They are subject to unit availability and confirmation. We publish them because a buyer comparing budgets needs a shape to work with, and we label them because a buyer planning a purchase needs to know which number a developer will stand behind.

The 50/50 structure is official: half the price across the construction period, half at handover. The dated milestones below are not. They are broker-published indications rather than developer-authenticated terms, including the 5 percent booking instalment, and the schedule for your own collection and unit is the one to confirm.

The amounts illustrate a purchase at the AED 13.5 million starting price and exclude registration, administration, finance and other purchase costs. A 50/50 plan is not a mortgage: the half due at handover is due whether or not a bank has agreed to lend it, which is the question worth settling before the booking instalment, not after.

Six layouts are published across the two collections: 4, 5 and 6 bedrooms at Talay and the same three at Talay Beach. Published areas use two different labels, gross saleable area and built-up area, and they are not interchangeable. The 6-bedroom Talay villa is reported at 638 square metres GSA and 630 square metres BUA, which is the same house measured two ways rather than two different houses.

The floor plans we publish have not been authenticated against Aldar-issued originals, so confirm the layout, the dimensions and the specification of the specific unit before reserving. All six drawings, at full size, are on the Marsa Al Saadiyat page together with the presentation as a PDF.

Sales commence on 23 September 2026. A launch of this size tends to allocate the best plots in the first hours, so the work that decides the outcome happens before the day: settling the collection, the bedroom count and the budget, and knowing what the purchase costs on top of the price.

We are a licensed brokerage, not the developer. We can tell you what is published, what is available and what a schedule looks like on a specific unit; the allocation, the contract and the final terms come from Aldar. Registering an enquiry with us records the enquiry and nothing more, and no reservation or payment is taken through this website.
