STELLAR by ELIE SAAB — A New Chapter of Architectural Elegance on Yas Island

At the crossroads of luxury, contemporary architecture, and Mediterranean light, STELLAR by ELIE SAAB emerges as the first branded residential project of the iconic fashion and lifestyle house on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.

Created in partnership with Emirates Developments, the project introduces a vision of living where aesthetics, functionality, and the surrounding natural landscape merge into a rare, almost poetic harmony.

Situated in the very heart of Yas Island, STELLAR by ELIE SAAB aligns with the rhythm of a destination defined by culture, entertainment, and elegant waterfront promenades. Yet despite its proximity to major attractions, its architecture provides a sense of serene seclusion — sea views, natural calm, and an atmosphere of refined privacy.

The development includes 144 residences, featuring luxurious one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, expansive three- and four-bedroom garden villas, and an exclusive five-bedroom duplex penthouse. Each unit is designed to reflect balance, geometric purity, and the interplay of light — hallmarks of the ELIE SAAB aesthetic. Large glass façades, natural materials, and open layouts create a fluid dialogue between interior and exterior, while panoramic views cultivate a sense of understated luxury that reveals itself gently rather than boldly.

The interiors reinterpret the brand’s signature design language — a blend of proportion, architectural discipline, and emotion. Every home exudes quiet elegance, complemented by carefully curated pieces from ELIE SAAB Maison, co-created by Elie Saab and Carlo Colombo, and produced in Italy by Corporate Brand – A++ Group. Furniture, textures, and finishes showcase exceptional craftsmanship and materials that form atmospheres of harmony, comfort, and refined sophistication.

“STELLAR by ELIE SAAB is a celebration of design, light, and the art of living,” notes Tarek Nazal, General Manager of Royal Development Company. “At every stage of the project, we are committed to preserving the impeccable standard of the ELIE SAAB name — by offering spaces that elevate quality of life and create a destination of contemporary luxury.”

The array of shared amenities is designed to cultivate wellbeing and community: a swimming pool, wellness spa, fitness center, private cinemas, lounge areas, children’s zones, and elegant boutiques along the waterfront promenade. Each space is conceived as an extension of the residences — crafted with the same attention to detail, warmth, and elevated aesthetic.

“Our collaboration with Emirates Development marks a significant milestone for the brand in the region,” emphasizes Elie Saab Jr., Vice President and CEO of ELIE SAAB Group. “We aim to create experiences that go beyond design — harmonies of lifestyle, beauty, and modern elegance. Yas Island perfectly embodies our vision of contemporary living.”

Scheduled for completion in 2028, STELLAR by ELIE SAAB will stand as an architectural signature of balance between nature, luxury, and residential living — a project that brings the future of elegance into the present.
