What Hudayriyat Island is like
A 51 sq km sports and leisure island opposite Al Bateen, being built out by Modon with villas, golf homes and waterfront apartments. The top-selling district in Abu Dhabi by value in H1 2026.
Hudayriyat Island sits directly opposite Al Bateen on the south-western side of Abu Dhabi's main island, joined to it by a dedicated suspension bridge. Modon, the Abu Dhabi master developer, puts its area at 51 million sq m and the drive to central Abu Dhabi at about ten minutes (11 km). Until recently it was known mainly as a place to cycle, run and swim: the island has beaches and beach clubs, the 321 Sports complex, Surf Abu Dhabi, a 220 km cycling network by Modon's count, and the Marsana dining promenade. Modon lists Bab Al Nojoum and Anantara among the island's hotels.
Housing is new. Modon has released a series of named communities: Nawayef (mansions, villas and townhouses), Al Naseem, Bashayer (waterfront villas and apartments on the north shore), Wadeem and Wadeem Gardens (villas along a central spine), and Hudayriyat Golf Estates (townhouses, villas and mansions around an 18-hole course). Prices on Modon's site in November 2026 ran from about AED 2 million at the entry level to above AED 26 million for the largest golf-front villas. Most communities are scheduled for handover between 2028 and 2031.
Demand has been strong. The Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre (ADREC) recorded AED 19 billion of residential sales on Hudayriyat in the first half of 2026, 27% of the emirate's total and more than any other district. Data firm ADXinteract also named it the highest-value area in the same period. Modon sells homes here on a freehold basis to buyers of all nationalities and says ownership includes the land.
The case for the island is its position, a short drive from the established western side of the city, and the amount of open space and sport already operating. The case for caution is that almost everything residential is still a construction site, sold by one developer on plans with large final payments at handover.
Suits
- Families wanting large villas close to central Abu Dhabi
- Buyers who cycle, swim, surf or play golf
- Second-home owners with long holding periods
- Investors comfortable with handovers from 2028 to 2031
In its favour
- Freehold ownership open to all nationalities (Modon)
- AED 19 billion of residential sales in H1 2026, 27% of Abu Dhabi's total (ADREC)
- About 10 minutes by car (11 km) to central Abu Dhabi over a dedicated bridge
- Beaches, Surf Abu Dhabi, 321 Sports and a 220 km cycling network already open
- An 18-hole golf course planned at Hudayriyat Golf Estates
- Several product types: apartments, townhouses, villas and mansions
Worth knowing
- A single master developer sells every community. There is no competing supplier and limited price discovery outside Modon's own releases
- The island depends on its bridge link to Al Bateen. Ask what further road connections are committed, and when
- Almost all homes are off plan. Most handovers fall between 2028 and 2031, and the first residents will live beside construction for years
- Payment plans are back-loaded: Wadeem Gardens asks for 75% and Hudayriyat Golf Estates 60% at handover, so finance must be in place then
- No resale history. With so many homes sold in a short period, a wave of resale listings is possible as handovers approach
- Schools, clinics and retail inside the communities are planned rather than open

Hudayriyat Island: questions buyers ask
Can foreigners buy property on Hudayriyat Island?
Yes. Modon states that its Hudayriyat communities are sold freehold to buyers of all nationalities, with ownership of both the home and the underlying land. Hudayriyat was not on the zone list published in 2019; ADREC has since reported 50 zones. Ask for confirmation of the plot's investment-zone status in the sale agreement, as you would anywhere in Abu Dhabi.
Who is developing Hudayriyat Island?
Modon, an Abu Dhabi master developer, is developing the island and selling every residential community on it, including Nawayef, Bashayer, Wadeem Gardens and Hudayriyat Golf Estates.
When will homes on Hudayriyat Island be ready?
It depends on the community. Modon's published targets in November 2026 included Q1 2028 for Nawayef Park Views, 2030 for Bashayer and Hudayriyat Golf Estates, and Q2 2031 for Wadeem Gardens. Modon's own pages and Property Finder show different dates for some phases, so check the date written into your contract.
How much do homes on Hudayriyat Island cost?
On Modon's website in November 2026, apartments at Bashayer were listed from about AED 2.5 million, townhouses at Hudayriyat Golf Estates from AED 4.2 million and villas at Wadeem Gardens from AED 8.7 million. The largest golf mansions were listed at an average of AED 35.8 million.
What are property prices in Hudayriyat Island per square foot?
Published figures for Hudayriyat Island: AED 1,852 per sq ft for all homes (average advertised price per sq ft; Bayut, from advertised asking prices, October 2026). Averages move with the mix of homes sold, and asking prices usually sit above prices paid. Compare areas in our price per sq ft table.
