Located within Saadiyat Grove and featuring unparalleled views, designs, spaces, amenities and services, Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will be the most sought-after address in Abu Dhabi once handed over to residents in 2025. Saadiyat Grove, Aldar's iconic and immersive AED 10 billion landmark destination on Saadiyat Island spans an area of 242,000 square metres and will boast immersive retail, entertainment and leisure spaces. Including Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, the mixed-use destination will feature approximately 3,000 residential units, two hotels and co-working spaces for new enterprises and start-ups.

The development offers a lounge for residents - Le Salon Detente, a 12-seater Cinema Prive for private theatre experience, a wellness centre - Spa Bien-etre - that features a gym and sauna rooms, multi-use spaces for yoga and meditation, and an indoor kids' playroom - the Creativite Room. Residents can also indulge in uninterrupted views of Louvre Abu Dhabi and Abu Dhabi's skyline at the elevated swimming pools, sunset deck and gardens.
The lobbies and shared spaces within Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will feature art and sculptures selected in close consultation with the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Meticulously designed for distinction and sophistication, every apartment at Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences will be finished with interior fittings and fixtures and built-in home appliances of choice from world-renowned brands.
The residential experience is elevated by bespoke five-star services to cater to the needs of residents, including access to concierge services that go the extra mile: from a chef-at-home service for the ultimate private fine dining affair, to professional housekeeping, personal stylist and shopper services, pet-sitting and dog-walking, and much more.
As with every masterpiece exhibited at Louvre Abu Dhabi, carefully curated to deliver a story, an emotion and an experience, Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences promises its residents will live every day inspired.

With Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, now there is an opportunity to reside at the most inspiring cultural address in the world."
Born out of a historic intergovernmental agreement signed between France and the United Arab Emirates on 6 March 2007, Louvre Abu Dhabi is the first universal museum in the Arab world. Overseen by the Department of Culture and Tourism Abu Dhabi, the iconic museum brings different cultures together through ancient and contemporary works of historic, cultural and sociological interest from around the world.
Louvre Abu Dhabi is a modern-day engineering and architectural wonder, attracting art, history, culture, and heritage enthusiasts from all over the world. The museum boasts an active calendar of programmes and events that shine a spotlight on local, regional and global creative talent.
With the launch of Louvre Abu Dhabi Residences, homeowners and residents can benefit from an exclusive membership that provides access to Louvre Abu Dhabi's exhibitions and events, branded merchandise, as well as personalised art consultation and services.
This is the first time that Aldar will launch a new development with a primary focus on international sales - buyers are to be targeted in markets such as the UK, Egypt, and India.
