You know the feeling when a holiday is so good, you don’t ever want to leave? Well, Aldar, Abu Dhabi’s largest luxury property developer, has the answer to that.
Currently being built on the paradisiacal Saadiyat Island is the Middle East’s first Nobu Hotel set to open in 2027. Think 125 gorgeously appointed rooms and suites and a sprawling penthouse villa; Abu Dhabi’s first Nobu restaurant where diners can savour the internationally celebrated Japanese fare of chef Nobu Matsuhisa; a rooftop bar; a state-of-the-art wellness centre; and a host of sleek swimming pools. And what is a beachfront resort without a place to lounge and luxuriate in style? Taking full advantage of the pristine Mamsha Beach it is nestled in, the hotel is set to become the ultimate daytime clubbing destination with the opening of Nobu Beach Club.
As enticing as it all sounds, Aldar is offering so much more. Situated right next door is the highly anticipated Nobu Residences Abu Dhabi, with 88 stunning apartments that discerning jet-setters can actually call home. This answer to a perennial vacation allows buyers to choose from one- to three-bedroom apartments, two-bedroom lofts, and a limited number of exclusive sky villas and penthouses, all of which draw from Arabian and Japanese heritage—elegant design, hospitality, exclusive amenities and cultural connections in store.
