Inside Hudayriyat Island

Modon's Hudayriyat Island has flipped from a pure recreation destination, velodrome-grade cycle tracks, Surf Abu Dhabi's wave pool and OCR parks, into the capital's most ambitious coastal residential play. The villa districts, Nawayef and Al Naseem among them, released in phases on hillside and sea-view plots, and we still track live inventory across them rather than a closed-out masterplan. Delivery timelines are long, which makes this an early-cycle position on the capital's premium coast.

Getting around

Causeway from Al Bateen; downtown Abu Dhabi about 15 minutes, AUH airport 35 minutes.

Living in Hudayriyat Island

Hudayriyat Island is Modon's new master planned waterfront destination just off the Abu Dhabi coast, built around beaches, sports and the outdoors rather than dense city living. Its first neighbourhoods like Al Naseem draw active families and outdoor lovers who want low rise coastal space with cycling tracks, a surf park and open parkland on their doorstep. It still feels like an emerging community, so much of the retail and schooling sits a short drive away on the main island for now.

Active developers here: Modon Holding

Of the 14 Hudayriyat Island projects we track, 14 are still off-plan or under construction, which is 100 percent of the community. 11 of them publish a starting price. Payment plans, booking amounts and handover dates sit on the off-plan page rather than here, because this page is about the place and that one is about the stock.
