Marbella at Zayed City in Abu Dhabi – Bloom Holding

Marbella at Zayed City is a Mediterranean residential invitation, developed by renowned Bloom Holding lined with 3, 4, 5 & 6 bedroom villas in Abu Dhabi. This exclusive lakeside living that reads like a long, luxurious breath comes to Abu Dhabi as a collection of villas that are handpicked from the shores of sunny Spain and reimagined for a modern family. From the moment you approach the gentle, terracotta-tinted facades and the landscaped promenades leading towards the central lake, it announces itself as a place where everyday rituals from breakfast on the terrace, a late afternoon stroll, an evening swim are upgraded to small celebrations. Each villa frames water and sky in ways that make privacy and community feel like they are not mutually exclusive; interiors unfold into gardens and courtyards, generous living spaces open towards natural light, and details from bespoke mosaics to expansive family rooms are calibrated to feel both intimate and grand.

Nested within Bloom Living at Zayed City, a master planned mixed use destination designed for family life and long-term community living. The location situates residents within easy reach of a Town Center which will host curated restaurants, cafes and retail, while multiple, interconnected parks and tree-lined promenades stitch the neighbourhood in a continuous green embrace. At the center of this layout is a large framed lake with specific walking and cycling paths – an organizing element that turns normal movement into a daily ritual of scenic pleasure. Neighbourhood conveniences, places of worship and two international schools are all part of the masterplan, so that practical needs and aspirational living sit side by side. The result is a place with the serenity of waterside life combined with the convenience of an urban lifestyle.

The architecture is a powerful and eloquent tribute to Mediterranean Spanish style re-interpreted for the present. Low-slung rooflines, warm tones and a considered rhythm of windows and terraces give the villas a timeless silhouette, which responds to the climate and aesthetic of Abu Dhabi. Each type of villa, ranging from small three-bedroom dwellings to large six-bedroom houses, has been designed with this principle of indoor/outdoor unity in mind, living rooms and dining rooms leading to private gardens, ground floors of flexible family spaces, and upper levels of commodious bedrooms and sheltered balconies to capture light and breeze. Structural planning attentive: Service cores, driver and maid’s rooms, practical storage are discretely integrated so that daily life remains seamless. The public architecture of the masterplan – amphitheatres, sunset and sunrise plazas and a central clubhouse – complements the private architecture to create a community language that reads as one cohesive and elegant compos

The leisure offering is embedded within Bloom Living’s communal offering. The clubhouse is the social heart with pools, sports and recreational facilities which invite active days and relaxed evenings. Surrounding the lake, trails dedicated to walking, running and cycling, turn the exercise into tranquil ritual; multi-purpose amphitheatres and open plazas into places to host community events, performances and casual meetings at sunrise or at sunset. Landscaped parks have an uninterrupted interconnected nature so that green space felt infinite and accessible from around every corner. The Town Center offers a place to dine and be social, with cafes and restaurants planned, each serving for smaller intimate suppers as well as large events. This is a place where wellbeing is supported by design: though active, passive and social amenities are all present in ways that ensure its residents of all ages find reasons to linger outdoors and connect.
