Rixos Al Reem Residences Reveals HBA Residential Interiors in Abu Dhabi

Rixos Al Reem Residences reveals HBA Residential interiors in Abu Dhabi, combining Turkish design, waterfront living and resort-style amenities in a new branded residential project on Al Reem Island.

Rixos Al Reem Residences has revealed its new HBA Residential interiors in Abu Dhabi, adding a refined layer to its waterfront living concept. The project combines Turkish design with the coastal character of Al Reem Island. Meanwhile, Rixos Al Reem Residences reflects the resort brand’s hospitality-led approach through spacious homes, family-focused amenities and personalised services.

Designed by HBA Residential, the interiors respond to the architecture created by Aedas. As a result, light, natural materials and panoramic views become central to the residential experience. The development also brings together wellness, leisure, dining and social spaces, creating a distinctive branded residential proposition in Abu Dhabi.

The Rixos Al Reem Residences concept has emerged from demand for residential environments that combine private homes with the services and experiences associated with luxury resorts. The answer is a HBA Residential interior scheme that translates the Rixos identity into a contemporary residential setting. The reason is the project’s ambition to offer more than conventional apartments on Al Reem Island.

Turkish heritage, Middle Eastern influences and Abu Dhabi’s waterfront environment have therefore been brought together through materials, artwork, spatial planning and amenities. The result is a residential experience focused on light, comfort, family living, wellness and hospitality, supported by concierge, valet, security and lifestyle services.

How Does Rixos Al Reem Residences Reflect Turkish Hospitality?

Rixos Al Reem Residences uses Turkish cultural references without turning the interiors into a traditional reproduction. Instead, HBA Residential has interpreted the Rixos identity through contemporary art, ceramics, patterns, materials and carefully controlled detailing.

The arrival experience establishes this direction immediately. Five-metre hand-thrown porcelain forms in expressive cobalt blue create a striking focal point within the entrance vestibule. Their design draws on the region’s ceramic heritage while presenting craftsmanship through a contemporary aesthetic.

Inside the lobby, an immersive botanical ceiling introduces another layer. Inspired by native flora, the canopy creates movement above residents and visitors, echoing both the building’s fluid architecture and its waterfront location.

How Are the Residences Designed Around Light and Views?

The residential interiors have been planned around space, natural light and connection with the surrounding landscape. HBA Residential has incorporated expansive dual-aspect layouts and generous ceiling heights to increase both visual openness and the sense of volume within individual homes.

The collection includes one-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom lofts and four-bedroom suites, providing different residential formats for a range of household requirements. The planning also responds to the project’s positioning beside the Arabian Gulf.

Material selection reinforces the feeling of warmth. Anatolia Beige marble flooring and Venus White marble surfaces are paired with Celeste quartzite, timber detailing and woven textiles. Subtle metal accents and mosaic kitchen backsplashes add texture, while Rixos’ bold patterns provide a recognisable visual connection across the interiors.

What Amenities Will Residents Find at the Development?

The development extends the resort experience beyond individual residences through an interconnected collection of wellness, leisure and social facilities. These spaces are organised across three environments: The Oasis, The Haven and The Gathering.

The Gathering includes a ground-floor cinema designed as a private members’ lounge. Low-profile sofas, amber lighting and upholstered wall panels create a more intimate setting for entertainment and relaxation.

The Kids Club takes a different approach, using biophilic forms and contoured materials to create a nature-inspired environment. Its design is intended to encourage exploration and imagination while supporting a safe, immersive experience for children.

Wellness facilities include a Turkish Hammam, steam rooms, treatment areas, family and children’s swimming pools and a plunge pool. Residents will also have access to landscaped walking tracks and a padel court.

What Makes the Abu Dhabi Location Significant?

Rixos Al Reem Residences is positioned on Al Reem Island, within Abu Dhabi’s City of Lights. Its waterfront setting provides views towards mangroves and the city skyline, creating a contrast between urban development and open coastal surroundings.

The location also reinforces the project’s design philosophy. Aedas’ architecture uses fluid forms inspired by waves, while HBA Residential has developed interiors that respond to the movement of the Arabian Gulf and the island’s urban rhythm.

At the top of the development, an exclusive rooftop clubhouse occupies level 39, adding another destination for residents and reinforcing the property’s resort-oriented character.

How Does the Project Extend Beyond Interior Design?

The residential proposition combines design with hospitality-inspired services. Residents are expected to have access to curated dining concepts, concierge services, valet assistance, 24-hour security and personalised lifestyle support.

For East & West Property Development and Ennismore, the project represents Rixos’ first branded residential development in Abu Dhabi. For HBA Residential, it provides another opportunity to translate a globally recognised hospitality brand into a private residential environment.

The overall concept connects architecture, interiors, wellness and service into one residential experience. Rather than separating homes from communal amenities, the development positions everyday living within a broader resort framework shaped by Turkish hospitality and Abu Dhabi’s waterfront setting.

Rixos Al Reem Residences is bringing together branded residential living, Turkish hospitality and Abu Dhabi’s waterfront character through interiors created by HBA Residential. The project uses natural materials, contemporary ceramics, botanical references and distinctive Rixos patterns to establish a design identity that connects private residences with the wider resort environment. At the same time, expansive layouts, high ceilings and dual-aspect planning place light and views at the centre of the homes.

The development also extends the residential proposition through wellness, entertainment and family facilities, including a Turkish Hammam, swimming pools, Kids Club, cinema, padel court and rooftop clubhouse. Meanwhile, concierge, valet, security and lifestyle services add a hospitality dimension to everyday living.

Located on Al Reem Island, the project benefits from views of mangroves and Abu Dhabi’s skyline. Together, the architecture by Aedas and interiors by HBA Residential establish a contemporary waterfront residence shaped by resort-led living and Turkish cultural influences.
