Bloom Living Almeria

Almeria includes the higher finishing tier as standard, with no paid upgrade and no deadline to choose

At Bloom Properties, the so called Premium finish is not an option. It comes as standard on every villa in Almeria, regardless of type, at no extra cost and with no obligation to confirm it within a set timeframe. This contractual detail is spelled out in the brochure and stands as the most concrete point of this seventh phase of Bloom Living, the mixed-use district the developer is building in Zayed City, Abu Dhabi. The offering consists of three to six bedroom villas with a Spanish Mediterranean design, some of them facing the project's central lake. Units are sold freehold and handover is set for late 2027.

Premium finishes: nothing extra to budget for

On many villa developments in the UAE, buyers find out after reservation that the finish level shown in the renders is actually a separately priced package. Almeria does the opposite. The Premium specification includes designer porcelain tiles, washable textured paint resistant to fading, custom mosaics and imported laminates. The developer also stresses the durability of the materials and how they are sourced, though without naming suppliers or certifications. For an investor, the point is straightforward: the final budget stays close to the signed price, and any comparison with neighbouring phases should factor in this avoided cost.

From 254 to 512 sqm spread over two floors

The four layouts follow the same pattern: a ground floor larger than the upper level. The three bedroom villa offers 254 sqm of saleable area (133 sqm downstairs, 121 sqm upstairs). The four bedroom moves up to 316 sqm, the five bedroom to 426 sqm. The six bedroom reaches 512 sqm, including 283 sqm on the ground floor, roughly double the smallest unit. The biggest jump sits between the four and five bedroom options, a difference of 110 sqm, which makes the five bedroom a clearly more family-oriented product than the four. The developer notes that sizes remain subject to adjustment up until signing, under the terms of the sale contract.

The lake as the backbone of the master plan

Bloom Living is organised around a large body of water lined with paths for walking, running and cycling. The Almeria villas on the front row get a direct view over this lake, which the brochure illustrates with the six bedroom unit. The district also adds multipurpose amphitheatres and two oriented plazas, the Sunset and Sunrise Plazas, designed for gatherings. A main clubhouse brings together swimming pools, a gym, a tennis court and a sports field, within walking distance of the homes. The Town Center, with its restaurants, cafes and shops, rounds out the offering without forcing residents to drive for everyday errands.

Two international schools within the district

The presence of two international schools and places of worship, including a mosque, points clearly to the target buyer. Almeria is aimed at families settling long-term in Abu Dhabi, whether Emirati or expatriate, rather than at short-stay buyers. Pet-friendly policies, with a dedicated dog lawn, point in the same direction. Playgrounds, a yoga area and parks linked together without interruption reflect the needs of permanent residents. On the rental market, this profile usually translates into longer leases and lower vacancy, provided the schools open on schedule.

Ten minutes from the airport, twenty from Yas Island

Zayed City sits along the corridor linking Abu Dhabi International Airport to the new residential districts on the mainland. The developer states ten minutes to the airport, and the same to Khalifa City and Al Shamkha. Mohammed Bin Zayed City is fifteen minutes away, Yas Island twenty, and the Musaffah industrial zone twenty-five. These travel times, as given by Bloom Properties, assume smooth traffic and are worth checking during peak hours. Even so, they put Almeria within reach of the capital's main employment hubs, without the land cost attached to the islands.
