Hidd Al Saadiyat is an exclusive residential community and a private residential community of 464 exclusive villas on Saadiyat Island in Abu Dhabi. If you’ve spent any time looking at property in the capital, you’ll know Saadiyat is the island where everything is happening—the Louvre, the Guggenheim coming soon, the beaches, the hotels. The project sits on the eastern side of the island, facing the open water rather than the city skyline. The developer behind it is lead development, which is part of the larger ADQ portfolio.
What makes Hidd Al Saadiyat different is the setting. It’s a collection of luxurious villas arranged around a natural inlet, emphasizing the property type as villas. The name «Hidd» means «the edge» in Arabic, which makes sense because the development really sits at the water’s edge, with a protected mangrove area on one side and the open Persian Gulf on the other. The project was completed in December 2016, marking its completion date, and the masterplan includes everything you’d expect from a modern waterfront community—parks, walking paths, retail, and direct beach access, catering to the needs of residents.
