Aldar has unveiled the Mandarin Oriental Residences in Abu Dhabi, featuring stunning architecture by the renowned BIG Architects. This ambitious project will showcase 226 opulent homes, aiming to redefine residential design in the city. Managed by the esteemed Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group and featuring interiors crafted by Lillian Wu, the development aspires to offer a lifestyle steeped in sophistication and connectivity at the cultural core of this vibrant city.
Nestled within Abu Dhabi’s Saadiyat Cultural District, the residences will be enveloped by iconic architectural masterpieces. Residents will be treated to breathtaking views of the nearby Zayed National Museum, adorned with striking steel fins designed by Foster + Partners. Additionally, they will be just a stone’s throw away from notable landmarks such as Jean Nouvel’s Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Mecanoo-designed Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi, and the highly anticipated Guggenheim Abu Dhabi, designed by Frank Gehry and set to open in 2025. The completion of BIG’s Mandarin Oriental Residences is projected for 2028.
The Mandarin Oriental Residences, a stunning creation by the Bjarke Ingels Group, will feature interiors meticulously designed by New York’s Lillian Wu Studio. She focuses on achieving a harmonious blend of comfort and luxury throughout these exquisite spaces. Each residence will be enhanced with natural elements, including rich woods, stunning marble, and sleek metal accents, crafting an atmosphere that is both inviting and warm. The luxurious feel is further accentuated by grand chandeliers, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, and carefully curated lighting.
Inside, the spacious living areas flow effortlessly into high-end kitchens, creating an ideal setting for both relaxation and entertainment. Master bedrooms are designed as tranquil retreats, complete with spa-inspired bathrooms and private terraces that offer a peaceful escape from the vibrant city life. Developer Aldar emphasizes that every detail, from artisanal touches to lighting selections, is thoughtfully crafted to elevate the experience of everyday living.
Residents will enjoy an array of top-tier amenities that embody the Mandarin Oriental’s commitment to excellence. The wellness offerings feature The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, showcasing both signature treatments and holistic wellness programs. Additionally, a state-of-the-art gym and a beauty bar are at residents’ disposal, promoting a vibrant and health-conscious lifestyle.
The community also boasts a private dining area, a residents’ lounge, and a games room, perfect for socializing. A theater provides a venue for entertainment, while a serene library offers a peaceful escape for reading or contemplation. To sweeten daily life, the Mandarin Oriental Cake Shop presents a selection of artisanal desserts, adding a delightful indulgence.
