The briefing

What it is

Saadiyat Lagoons is a villa project by Aldar in Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi. Homes range from 4-6 bedrooms. Prices start from US$1.66M (AED 6,100,000), with a 40/60 payment plan and handover expected Q2 2026.

Where it is

Saadiyat Island is in Abu Dhabi, the UAE capital: island communities, beaches and culture, and one of the fastest-growing prime markets in the region.

Why buyers are looking

Aldar is one of the UAE's leading developers, which supports resale demand and delivery confidence.
You pay 40% while it is built, but any rise in value applies to 100% of the price.

How you pay

40/60: your money goes in step by step.

40% During construction60% On or after handover

You pay 40% (US$664K · AED 2,440,000) while it is being built and 60% at or after handover. Your money goes in step by step, not all on day one.

What it could make: this project is completed or close to handover, so returns come mainly from rent and long-term value rather than an off-plan resale. Ask us for current rents and recent registered sales in Saadiyat Island.

Why the UAE

Why buyers from 200+ countries choose the UAE.

No tax on your returnsThe UAE charges individuals no income tax on rent, no capital gains tax when you sell and no annual property tax.

Protection from double taxThe UAE has signed more than 140 agreements to avoid double taxation. Whether your home country taxes your UAE income depends on where you are tax resident: move to the UAE and become tax resident, and many countries stop taxing it. US citizens are taxed by the US wherever they live. Check with your tax adviser.

10-year Golden VisaA property worth AED 2 million or more can qualify you and your family for a renewable 10-year Golden Visa. In Dubai, off-plan and mortgaged homes count. Conditions apply. This project starts above AED 2 million, so one unit can qualify. In Abu Dhabi, an off-plan home counts once AED 2 million has been paid to the developer.

Easy to buy from abroadForeign buyers can own freehold in designated areas, sign and pay remotely, pay in instalments and hold a title registered with the government land department.

Your payments are protectedOff-plan payments go into a government-regulated escrow account released as construction progresses.

Questions buyers ask

Straight answers.

Can foreigners buy here?

Yes. Projects sold by UAE developers to international buyers are in freehold or investment zones where foreign nationals can own. We confirm the title type for your unit.

What are the buying costs?

About 2% government registration fee plus small administration fees. No stamp duty or annual property tax.

Can I sell before handover?

Usually yes, once you have paid the minimum the developer sets (often 30 to 40%) and received its no-objection certificate.

Can I get a mortgage?

Off-plan homes are usually paid through the payment plan; banks lend close to or after handover, for residents and non-residents, subject to bank rules.

Can I buy without visiting?

Yes. Reservation, contract and payments can all be done remotely, and we arrange video tours of show homes.

How do I get the Golden Visa?

Once your purchase is registered and meets the AED 2 million threshold, you apply with the title deed or off-plan contract. We guide you through it.
