Landscaping & pools in Ramhan Island — designed, previewed, built.
Ramhan Island is Eagle Hills’ beachfront villa island in Abu Dhabi, between Yas and Saadiyat, released in phases and still being built. For most owners the garden and pool come after handover, which makes the months before it the right time to plan them.
Montera designs and builds island gardens and pools as one job: a design that starts from the villa drawings, engineering for a coastal plot, a line-by-line price, and a Preview walk before anything is dug.
What we build in Ramhan Island
- Pool and garden designed from the villa drawings, before handover
- Pools engineered for a coastal island plot
- Beach-facing terraces in marine-grade materials
- Salt-tolerant planting, shade and lighting
Approvals, handled
The developer’s guidelines and approval come first, then the Abu Dhabi Municipality building permit for a pool or any structure. We prepare and submit both, and do not mobilise until they are back.
Local detail that changes the design
- Status: villas are being delivered in phases, so most gardens here are still to be built. Owners can have the design ready for handover.
- Ground: a coastal island plot with salt air; the pool shell, drainage and fixings are specified for it.
- Rules: the developer’s guidelines apply to what is built on the plot; we design inside them from the first sketch.
- Planning: a design approved before handover means the approval packs can go in as soon as the plot is yours.
Plan before handover, build after it
On an island still being delivered, the garden usually waits for the keys. The owners who get the best result use the waiting time: the villa drawings and the plot plan are enough to design the pool, the terraces, the shade and the planting, price them line by line and walk them in Preview. When the plot is handed over, the design is ready and the approval packs can go in straight away.
Approvals: the developer, then the municipality
In Abu Dhabi the developer or community approval comes first and the Abu Dhabi Municipality building permit follows for a pool or any structure. We prepare the drawings and both submissions inside our scope, and do not mobilise until they are back. Approval timelines belong to the developer and the authority, so we do not promise dates for them.
Engineering for an island plot
Island plots carry salt air and, close to the beach, a shallow water table. The pool shell is designed against uplift and the excavation dewatered where needed; fixings near the coast are stainless; planting near the water is salt- and wind-tolerant, with beds given proper soil and zoned irrigation. On an island these are the baseline, each priced as its own line.
What moves the budget
A Ramhan garden is priced from your own plot, line by line, after the visit or from the villa drawings before handover, not a number on a web page. The movers are the pool type and plant room, the marine specification, the stone and decking, and the shade and outdoor-living structures.
How the project runs
A designer meets you within 48 hours, at the villa or with the drawings if it is not yet handed over. The design with visuals and the priced bill of quantities in seven days. A Preview walk at full scale. The approval packs as soon as the plot is yours. Then a live tracker through the build.
Questions Ramhan Island owners ask
Our Ramhan villa is not handed over yet. Can we start?
Yes. The villa drawings and the plot plan are enough to design and price the garden and pool, so the design is ready when the keys are.
Who approves a pool on Ramhan Island?
The developer first, then the Abu Dhabi Municipality building permit. We prepare and submit both packs and do not start until they are back.
Can you build a pool close to the beach?
Usually, subject to the developer’s guidelines. The shell is designed against uplift and the materials are specified for the coast.
Do you work in Abu Dhabi as well as Dubai?
Yes. The same team and the same promises apply: a designer within 48 hours, the priced design in seven days and a Preview walk before anything is built.
What does a Ramhan garden cost?
It comes from your own plot, line by line, not a number on a web page. The marine specification, the pool and the structures are the main movers.
