Riviera Residences by MERED is set to become one of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic waterfront landmarks. Designed in collaboration with the world renowned Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, this development brings a fresh architectural language to Al Reem Island, inspired by the UAE’s rich pearl diving heritage. The shimmering mother of pearl façade, layered terraces, and soft reflective finishes create a building that captures and plays with natural light, giving it a timeless character that stands out both locally and internationally.
The community brings together elegant homes, iconic architecture, and a peaceful seaside lifestyle. With more than 400 apartments and 12 exclusive villas, Riviera offers a refined living experience shaped by natural light, soft colours, and thoughtfully crafted spaces inspired by Abu Dhabi’s pearl diving heritage.
