Abu Dhabi buyer guide
Luxury Penthouses in Abu Dhabi
Luxury penthouses in Abu Dhabi sit at the top of new towers on Saadiyat, Yas, Al Reem, Al Raha Beach and Al Maryah. Resale penthouses are rare, so most buyers reserve one in a tower still being built: the projects above include penthouse or sky villa homes.
Almost every penthouse costs more than AED 5 million, and that changes the numbers: banks lend less, and on Al Reem and Al Maryah the transfer fee is the seller's. The calculator above does the arithmetic.
What a penthouse costs to buy
Golden Visa from AED 2 million
At this price or more the owner can apply for the 10 year visa.
30% Down Payment above AED 5 million
The bank minimum on an expatriate's first home; 25% for a UAE national.
50% loan while off plan
Banks lend at most half the value until the tower is finished.
2% fee, or none in ADGM
Outside ADGM the buyer pays 2% on the price; on Al Reem and Al Maryah the seller does.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a luxury penthouse in Abu Dhabi?
Mostly on Saadiyat, Yas, Al Reem and Al Raha Beach, where most of the projects with penthouse homes on our catalogue stand. Others are Bashayer Residences on Hudayriyat Island, Jumeirah Residences Al Maryah Island, Fahid Beach Terraces and Bab Al Qasr Garden Residence 65 in Masdar City.
How much does a penthouse cost in Abu Dhabi?
Few developers publish penthouse prices. Novayas on Yas Island lists its single 4 bedroom penthouse from AED 8,000,000, and Modon gives an average of about AED 9 million for a penthouse at Bashayer Residences. The others share prices on request.
Are there penthouses for sale in Abu Dhabi right now?
Resale penthouses are rare, and we list none at the moment. Aldar's own sales list showed no penthouse in Abu Dhabi at our last check. The projects on this page include penthouse or sky villa homes, and we check what each one still has.
How big is a penthouse in Abu Dhabi?
From about 1,600 sq ft for the smallest 3 bedroom duplex penthouse at Selina Bay to about 7,800 sq ft for the 5 bedroom duplex penthouse at STELLAR by Elie Saab. The two sky villas at The Arthouse on Saadiyat are close to 13,800 sq ft.
What Down Payment does a penthouse need?
Above AED 5 million the UAE Central Bank caps a first home loan at 70% of the value for an expatriate and 75% for a UAE national, so the Down Payment is at least 30% or 25%. A second home or investment needs 40% or 35%, and an off plan home 50%.
Who pays the transfer fee on a penthouse on Al Reem or Al Maryah?
The seller. Both islands are part of ADGM, whose 2024 fee rules charge the 2% transfer fee to the seller; a mortgage adds 0.1% of the loan. Elsewhere in Abu Dhabi a 2% registration fee is paid on the price.
Does a penthouse qualify for the Golden Visa?
Yes, when the price is AED 2 million or more, which covers the penthouses on this page. The 10 year visa is issued once the home is complete and registered.
What is the difference between a penthouse and a sky villa?
A penthouse is a top floor apartment, often on two levels, which makes it a duplex penthouse. A sky villa is a villa sized home inside a tower, like the two at The Arthouse or the 4 bedroom sky villas at Baccarat Residences Saadiyat.
