Abu Dhabi just got its next big architectural moment, and it comes courtesy of ELIE SAAB. The global fashion and lifestyle house has teamed up with Emirates Development to unveil STELLAR by ELIE SAAB, the very first branded residential project on Yas Island. A fusion of elegance, design, and contemporary living, the development marks a new chapter for one of the UAE’s most dynamic destinations.

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Yas Island, STELLAR integrates seamlessly into the area’s evolving landscape of culture, leisure, and waterfront living. Think panoramic sea views, serene natural surroundings, and direct access to everything that makes Yas Island iconic, all wrapped in a private residential experience.
STELLAR by ELIE SAAB promises to become a defining landmark on Yas Island — an architectural statement where nature, luxury, and modern living converge in perfect balance.
The project offers 144 bespoke residences, with a mix of bedroom apartments, bedroom garden villas, and a duplex penthouse. Elie Saab’s design signature runs through every detail: clean architectural lines, generous layouts, floor-to-ceiling glass façades, and natural materials that create a constant dialogue between indoor comfort and the island’s horizon.
Inside, the interiors stay true to the brand’s aesthetic of precision & refinement. Every residence reflects a balance of functionality and timeless design. Created in collaboration with Carlo Colombo and crafted in Italy, these pieces bring the brand’s couture elegance into everyday life.
For Tariq Nazzal, GM of Royal Development Company, STELLAR represents:
A celebration of design, light and the art of living beautifully, highlighting the partnership’s ambition to evolve spaces and elevate lifestyles through premium design.
The experience extends beyond private units to a curated suite of amenities: a swimming pool, wellness spa, fitness centre, cinemas, lounges, children’s zones, and boutique retail and dining along the waterfront promenade. Each space is designed to foster community while preserving the project’s elevated, serene atmosphere.
“As a lifestyle brand, we aim to create experiences that go beyond design, bringing beauty and harmony into the way people live” says Elie Saab Jr., CEO of ELIE SAAB Group.
