A new benchmark for coastal living in Abu Dhabi’s cultural heart

Millennium Hotels and Resorts Middle East & Africa has officially raised the bar in lifestyle hospitality with the launch of Millennium Residences Saadiyat Island, the group’s first-ever branded residence. Located on Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious island, this milestone opening introduces a new era of coastal living that blends the comforts of home with the signature service of a world-class hotel brand.

Nestled in the capital’s cultural district, the property enjoys an enviable location just steps away from Saadiyat’s pristine beaches and within minutes of landmarks such as the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the Abrahamic Family House. It is a setting that perfectly captures the cultural depth and coastal charm of Abu Dhabi, while offering a sophisticated base for residents and travelers alike.

“This launch marks a significant milestone for Millennium Hotels MEA as we expand our portfolio into branded residences,” said Mr. Khaled Amer, Vice President Commercial, Millennium Hotels and Resorts MEA. “Millennium Residences Saadiyat Island is more than a place to stay—it is a lifestyle destination that captures the spirit of Abu Dhabi’s cultural and coastal appeal, while offering a new standard of comfort and flexibility for our guests.”

The development comprises 85 thoughtfully designed residences, ranging from stylish studios to expansive one- and two-bedroom apartments, each with panoramic views of the Arabian Gulf or Abu Dhabi’s glittering skyline. Interiors are fitted with fully functional kitchens, smart TVs, complimentary Wi-Fi, and contemporary amenities, making them ideal for families, couples, business travelers, and long-stay residents seeking both convenience and luxury.

The lifestyle offering extends far beyond the residences. Guests and residents can unwind in a rooftop infinity pool with sweeping views, maintain wellness routines at state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor gyms, or simply step out to enjoy Saadiyat’s iconic white-sand beaches. Its strategic location also ensures quick access to the entertainment attractions of Yas Island, including Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, and Yas Waterworld.

“This opening represents our vision to create spaces that blend lifestyle, leisure, and luxury for today’s global travelers,” added Amer. “We are proud to offer a first-of-its-kind experience that allows guests to feel at home while enjoying world-class hospitality on Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious island.”

The launch of Millennium Residences Saadiyat Island underscores Millennium Hotels MEA’s commitment to innovation in hospitality, while aligning with Abu Dhabi’s broader vision of strengthening its position as a global destination for culture, business, and leisure.

With almost 60 hotels in operation and 32 more in the pipeline across the region, Millennium Hotels MEA continues to be one of the fastest-growing hotel management companies in the Middle East. The addition of its first branded residence marks not just an expansion of its portfolio but a bold step into the future of lifestyle hospitality.
