Leading UAE developer Aldar announced the master layout for Saadiyat Grove in Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District.
The multi-brand luxury development integrates top-tier hospitality operators with dedicated longevity and comprehensive wellness centres designed to merge residential living with preventative tourism infrastructure.
The destination will also host a 2,000 square metre gym that will be operated by BXR, a London based luxury gym backed by heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua, marking the brand’s first flagship location in the Middle East.
A wellness centre and longevity clinic will see a new wellness brand entering Abu Dhabi, creating personalised programmes for clients and offering a range of longevity services on site.
Aldar said its new experiential luxury retail, wellness and fine dining destination in Abu Dhabi will open in the fourth quarter of 2026.
Framed by three iconic cultural establishments – the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, and the Zayed National Museum – with the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi and teamLab Phenomena Abu Dhabi in close proximity, Saadiyat Grove will stand as the connecting heart of Saadiyat Cultural District, a one-square-mile masterpiece where every space is inspired by art, culture, and connection, Aldar said.
“Saadiyat Grove is a centrepiece in our strategy to position Saadiyat Island, and Abu Dhabi more broadly, as a premier global destination for culture-led living, tourism, and investment,” said Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of Aldar.
Talal Al Dhiyebi, Group Chief Executive Officer of Aldar, said Saadiyat Grove is a destination purpose-built to stand alongside the world’s great retail addresses, offering a genuinely distinctive experience rooted in Emirati hospitality and set within one of the most compelling cultural environments globally.
Iconic brands such as Audemars Piguet, Brunello Cucinelli, BVLGARI, Cartier, Chaumet, Dior, FENDI, James Perse, Loewe, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co, Valentino and Van Cleef & Arpels will be among the flagship names anchoring the retail project at Saadiyat Grove.
