Solea

Solea sits on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi, within the Saadiyat Lagoons district. The island is home to the Saadiyat Cultural District, where Louvre Abu Dhabi stands and where Zayed National Museum opened to the public on 3 December 2025, alongside the island's beaches and its established residential communities.

Solea is developed by Taraf, the real estate division of Yas Holding, a UAE headquartered investment holding group. On its own project page Taraf describes Solea as the only residential building in the Saadiyat Lagoons masterplan to offer 360 degree panoramic views, with uninterrupted outlooks across Saadiyat Island from every angle.

Solea holds 212 apartments across four low rise buildings of ground plus seven floors, in one, two, three and four bedroom layouts. Published sizes run from 735 sq ft for a one bedroom home up to 3,039 sq ft for the largest four bedroom residences, and homes are given private terraces or balconies.

Published starting prices are AED 1,750,000 for a one bedroom, AED 2,560,000 for a two bedroom, AED 3,630,000 for a three bedroom and AED 4,460,000 for a four bedroom. The price of any individual apartment depends on the floor, the internal layout and the direction the home faces, so ask for the current price list.

Solea is sold on a 40/60 payment plan. Buyers place a 10% Down Payment on booking, then pay 30% in instalments linked to construction progress, which leaves 60% due on handover. That structure keeps most of the purchase price with the buyer until the apartment is actually delivered.

Handover is scheduled for 2028. Taraf does not publish a quarter on its own project page, so treat 2028 as the working date and ask for the exact completion deadline written into the sales and purchase agreement before committing to a unit.

The developer publishes a swimming pool, a jacuzzi and a children's pool, landscaped gardens and shaded courtyards, a modern gym, sports courts, a jogging track, barbecue areas and outdoor lounges. Boutique retail space is part of the scheme as well, so everyday essentials sit inside the development itself.

It suits investors who want a set of 212 homes on Saadiyat Island with most of the payment deferred to handover, and end users who want a low rise home close to the island's beaches and museums. The three and four bedroom layouts give families genuine space on a cultural island address.
