A 2-bed home at The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Al Maryah Island

Rising above the waterfront of Al Maryah Island, this two-bedroom residence, spanning 2,217 sq. ft., is part of a brilliant collection of 165 private homes. Architecture by Killa Design and interiors by Tara Bernerd & Partners bring a distinctive character to the home - a combination of contemporary, sculptural design, soft tonal palettes, and curated art, all with the refined residential experience associated with The Ritz-Carlton.

This apartment at The Ritz-Carlton Residences commands a spectacular front-row seat to the capital's changing skyline and the shimmering waves of Saadiyat Island, featuring a layout that is both generous and masterfully resolved: an open living, dining, and kitchen space; two ensuite bedrooms; a powder room; and a discreetly positioned dirty kitchen and maid’s room with its own bathroom.

The Tour

An elegantly appointed entrance hall introduces the home - creates a clear threshold between the world outside and the principal living spaces, allowing the apartment to unfold gradually. The powder room sits just off the hall, while the dirty kitchen and maid’s room are tucked discreetly to one side. This separation keeps the practical rhythm of daily life separate from the main entertaining areas.

A smartly planned large living, dining and kitchen space enhances the sense of volume, well-scaled to accommodate zones for sitting, eating and cooking without any interruption. A magnificent bespoke island beautifully anchors the kitchen, pairing state-of-the-art utility with unique design.

Running the length of the home is the floor-to-ceiling glazing that draws in light and frames the water beyond. A broad terrace extends the interior outdoors. The two bedrooms occupy opposite ends of the apartment, giving each a strong sense of privacy. The principal bedroom comes with fitted wardrobes and a spacious ensuite with a freestanding bath and double vanity. The second bedroom offers its own ensuite and dressing area, making it equally suited to guests, family members or use as a refined study.

The Area

A vibrant jewel in Abu Dhabi's crown, Al Maryah Island offers an elite waterfront lifestyle defined by pedestrian-friendly luxury and architectural brilliance. Residents enjoy immediate proximity to The Galleria - a haven of luxury boutiques and exceptional culinary concepts lining a spectacular waterfront promenade. The island is also home to Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and sits next to the Abu Dhabi Global Market financial free zone. Beyond the island, Saadiyat Island is across the water, with the Louvre Abu Dhabi and its beaches, and the Corniche and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, within easy reach. The international airport is roughly half an hour away.
