Marlin Al Reem Island By Reportage Properties: Where the Water Doesn't Just Frame the View — It Defines the Whole Experience.
Al Reem Island has many buildings that face the water. Marlin Al Reem Island by Reportage is positioned right at the waterfront — not near it, not adjacent to it. Two architecturally sculpted towers rise directly from the Shams Abu Dhabi shoreline, their curved white façades designed to mirror the movement of the sea and the grandeur of the blue vistas that unfold from every principal room. This is the interplay the developer intended: the simplicity of modern architecture, the scale of open water, and the kind of calm that comes only from genuinely living at the edge of the island.
The design philosophy here is specific and it shows. A seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces runs through every architectural decision — the floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows do not just let light in, they dissolve the boundary between the apartment and the sea beyond. The curved balconies reach outward, extending the living space toward the water. The podium level curves with the same organic logic as the towers above it, and the eco-friendly, sustainable building features reflect a developer — Reportage Properties — that has been building in Abu Dhabi since 2014 with a track record of finishing what it starts.

The 246 residences across Tower A and Tower B cover a clean, well-considered range. One-bedroom apartments — found exclusively in Tower A — are designed for professionals who want a waterfront home without over-engineering the proposition. The majority of the building's inventory is in two and three-bedroom configurations, with spacious open-plan proportions, master bedrooms with dressing areas, en-suite bathrooms, and private balconies that give the canal and sea enough space to breathe. The four-bedroom apartments and penthouses occupy the upper floors and the penthouse level respectively — generous, family-scale homes with panoramic views that earn the word 'luxury' without needing to claim it.
Every unit is delivered with kitchen cabinets and countertops, built-in wardrobes, double-glazed windows, central AC, fully tiled bathrooms, and vanity units as standard. You move in. You live. The wave-shaped infinity pools — separate adult and children's pools — sit at the podium level with the canal as the backdrop, the water of the pool seeming to dissolve into the water of the sea. There is a fully equipped gymnasium. There are 356 private parking spaces — one per unit. There are kids' play areas. The promenade walk along the waterfront connects it all. This is not a building with amenities listed for a brochure. It is a building where the amenities are genuinely visible and usable from the day you arrive.
The location in Shams Abu Dhabi places you 2 minutes from Al Reem Central Park and 6 minutes from Shams Boutique Market. Reem Mall and Abu Dhabi Mall are both within 12 minutes. Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and the Galleria on Al Maryah Island are 13 minutes. Downtown Abu Dhabi is 15. Louvre Abu Dhabi and Saadiyat Island are a 20-minute drive. The island's three bridges to the mainland make the rest of the capital accessible without sacrifice. Marlin Al Reem Island is at the centre of luxury and the heart of the capital — the developer's own description, and for once, it is not overselling it.
