If you thought Abu Dhabi had already mastered the art of luxury living, think again—because it just went and raised the bar (politely, of course). Say hello to Radisson Residences Al Reem Island, the latest waterfront showstopper by Royal Development Holding (RDH), a subsidiary of Emirates Stallions Group (ADX: ESG). And here’s the mic-drop moment: this is the world’s first-ever standalone Radisson Residences. Yes, ever. Abu Dhabi, casually making global real estate history.
Let’s set the scene. Picture calm waters, whispering mangroves, and a kind of serenity that makes your morning coffee taste better. That’s the vibe RDH is going for with this AED 1.2 billion premium residential development, designed around immersive coastal living—aka, life where nature is not just a view, but a lifestyle partner.
Not Just Another Pretty Tower (Actually… Three)
Radisson Residences Al Reem Island isn’t doing things halfway. The project features three elegant towers rising from a shared podium, each thoughtfully planned like a well-organised playlist—everything in the right order, nothing out of place. We’re talking promenade level, ground level, four podium floors, a dedicated amenities floor, and 24 residential floors that are all about comfort meeting class.
And the homes? Oh, they’ve covered everyone. From smart studios to one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, plus two-bedroom townhouses and even four-bedroom townhouses for those who like their space generous and their privacy intact. Whether you’re a solo city dweller, a growing family, or someone who just wants room for guests and their hobbies—there’s something here with your name on it.
Waterfront, But Make It Peaceful
Location-wise, this one’s playing it smart. Set along Al Reem Island’s most tranquil waterfront edge, the residences overlook one of Abu Dhabi’s most defining natural assets: its lush mangrove belt. It’s green, it’s calming, and it’s the kind of view that instantly slows your heartbeat (in a good way).
And before you ask—yes, you still get city access. Downtown Abu Dhabi is just 20 minutes away, meaning you can enjoy nature-forward living without disappearing off the grid. It’s the best of both worlds: quiet when you want it, connected when you need it.
Design That Knows When to Whisper
Architecturally, Radisson Residences Al Reem Island isn’t here to shout for attention. Instead, it speaks in a calm, confident tone. The design language leans into understated sophistication, blending modern elegance with a nature-first philosophy that respects its surroundings rather than overpowering them.
This is coastal living done right—where materials, layouts, and open spaces feel intentional, and the environment isn’t just a backdrop, but a co-star.
A Big Move in Branded Living
This project also marks a major milestone for Royal Development Holding, strengthening its position in the rapidly expanding branded residences sector—a space where trust, lifestyle, and global brand equity matter more than ever. Partnering with Radisson Hotel Group, RDH is clearly playing the long game, tapping into Abu Dhabi’s growing reputation as a regional and global hub for branded real estate.
In simple terms? This isn’t just about building homes. It’s about building a lifestyle that carries a globally recognised name, backed by thoughtful design and a prime location.
The Takeaway
Radisson Residences Al Reem Island is one of those projects that quietly does a lot of things right. Waterfront serenity? Check. Smart layouts? Check. Global brand credibility? Big check. And that historic “first standalone Radisson Residences in the world” title? That’s just the cherry on top.
If Abu Dhabi’s future of residential living had a mood board, this project would definitely be pinned front and centre.
