Nawayef Villas herald a new way of luxury living, advancing Abu Dhabi’s vision to elevate the Emirate’s global prestige. Perched on hilltops with sweeping sea views and privacy, the design is a contemporary interpretation of the midcentury modern style.
Crafted as a symphony of modern finesse and timeless allure, the villa opens up within to the expansive views outwards with a triple-volume arrival hall that echoes the exterior’s vernacular façade. Celebrating the sea’s endless horizon, spaces are designed to frame serenity and opulence. From its luxurious pool deck to the infinity edge pool, every element bridges histories and horizons, providing a vernacular experience of luxury amidst the Hudayriyat hills.
Crafted as an exquisite journey of blending tradition with modernity, the interior spaces are curated to be visually captivating yet evoke a sense of exclusivity and tranquility. Each element, from grandeur statements, the texture of the materials to the play of light within the spaces, was chosen to inspire serenity and elegance. Designed to be more than homes, they are sanctuaries where every detail contributes to a narrative of luxury and comfort for high end living.
