Why no villas

Why Al Maryah Island has no villas

The island was planned as Abu Dhabi's business address, so its luxury is vertical. Three facts explain what a buyer finds there.

An island built for business

Al Maryah Island, once called Sowwah Island, is the commercial centre of ADGM, with The Galleria, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and two five star hotels.

Mubadala's island site and ADGM describe it this way.

Luxury here means height and service

The largest homes are penthouses and duplexes: five bedroom penthouses at Jumeirah Residences and four bedroom duplexes of up to 2,515 sq ft at Al Maryah Vista 2.

Rosewood keeps 134 residences and Four Seasons 124, beside their hotels.

The gardens are across the water

For a villa, Al Reem Island next door holds Reem Hills. Saadiyat and Yas, with their villa communities, sit about 14 and 25 minutes away by car.

The loft at AED 3,850,000

Near handover at Al Maryah Vista 2. Its 2% transfer fee, AED 77,000, is charged to the seller under ADGM rules. You pay what the seller has paid so far, then the developer's remaining schedule.

Fees are from ADGM's Real Property Regulations (Fees) Rules 2024. Every tower bills its own yearly service charge, which we confirm per home.

What fits you

Three questions: what matters most, how much space you need and when you want the keys. The answer names one address and why.

How to buy

How to buy a home on Al Maryah Island

Four steps under ADGM's rules, from the offer to the keys. Every figure comes to you in writing before you sign.

  1. Agree and reserve

    Agree the price and sign the sale contract with the owner, or a reservation with the developer on a launch.

  2. Arrange the loan

    If you borrow, your bank approves the loan and registers the mortgage with ADGM for 0.1% of it.

  3. Transfer on AccessRP

    ADGM's Registration Authority records the sale, online on AccessRP or at the ADGM Service Centre.

  4. Take the keys

    A finished home is yours once the transfer is recorded. A contract waits for the developer's handover.
