Mamsha Al Saadiyat

Dewan Architects and Engineers as Architects

Mamsha Al Saadiyat is an unrivaled combination of beachfront living and entertainment that sets a new standard for residential applications. Located in the heart of the Saadiyat Island Cultural District of Abu Dhabi, Mamsha Al Saadiyat is a mixed-use development characterized by luxurious homes, a family entertainment pier, beaches, parks, community facilities, and a boutique beach hotel. 


The development is within walking distance of several world class museums and luxury retailers, all while situated directly on the shore of pristine beaches. Working within the vision of the overall Cultural District master plan, the development serves three diverse and critical groups to the region: residents, commercial visitors, and beach goers. Through this project, Dewan created a memorable sense of place that captures the vitality and liveliness of the up-and-coming area while simultaneously respecting the character and tradition of this lively district.


Dewan intentionally designed the development to pioneer a new era of living and entertainment in the region of Saadiyat Island. The development seamlessly integrates the public realm and beachfront into a distinct, residential experience while maintaining a private and secure environment. The residential units themselves were designed to promote connectivity with the community and nature; the open, flowing unit designs capture the relaxed character of the beach and the surrounding environment. Key design concepts, such as maximizing views of the Gulf and nearby museums from outdoor terraces enhance the luxurious experience of residents. 


Dewan’s strategic placement and development of Mamsha Al Saadiyat testifies to the firm’s ability to incorporate the context of a development’s surrounding culture and environment into the design and function of its structures. The development integrates with the city’s iconic institutions including the District Mall, the Guggenheim, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum. Also, by incorporating amenities ranging from food and beverage destinations to family-oriented experiences including a park, promenade, plazas, and sikkas, Dewan’s expertise in design allows Mamsha Al Saadiyat guests to feel as if they’re at a second home. 


The Beach Promenade of Saadiyat Island, where Mamsha Al Saadiyat is located, provides a new gateway to the rapidly expanding city of Abu Dhabi. Enhanced transportation elements, including direct connections to Abu Dhabi International Airport and Downtown Abu Dhabi, make traveling to and from the new development easy. 


Dewan’s carefully curated design and execution makes the property stand out as a leading factor in Abu Dhabi’s rise as a residential and cultural staple of the Middle East. By anticipating future demand and catering to existing communities, Dewan further establishes itself as an international leader in providing beautiful yet beneficial architecture and master planning solutions.
