Overview

Four- to seven-bedroom villas on a man-made hill on Hudayriyat Island, from AED 6.6 million on a 40/60 plan. Modon launched the east hill in November 2024 and gives handover in December 2028.

Nawayef East is the villa neighbourhood on the eastern of the two man-made hills at Nawayef on Hudayriyat Island. Modon launched it in November 2024 and describes a gated community whose streets are laid out to give homes views of the Abu Dhabi skyline and the sea. Modon's launch announcement put the hill at 60 metres; its December 2025 construction announcement gives heights of 45 and 55 metres for the two Nawayef hills, East and West. The architecture mixes Southern Californian homes with contemporary villas finished in architectural cladding, and Modon says each home has a terrace, a swimming pool, a majlis and a large garden.

There are three collections. Homes are four- and five-bedroom villas of 370 to 468 sq m, priced from AED 6.6 million. Heights are five- to seven-bedroom villas from AED 19.3 million. Mansions, with six to eight bedrooms, are listed with the price to be confirmed: Modon's launch release said the first release covered Homes and Heights types 5 to 8, with Heights types 1 to 4 and the Mansions to follow. At launch Modon described the range as 370 to 3,800 sq m, with six Homes designs, eight Heights designs and five Mansion designs.

The main works are contracted. In December 2025 Modon awarded a AED 5 billion main construction contract for 735 villas across Nawayef East and Nawayef West, after an earlier infrastructure contract. Modon's FAQ gives handover in December 2028. Property Finder splits the community into two listings, Nawayef East A with completion in March 2028 and Nawayef East B in September 2028.

The payment plan is 40/60: 10% on booking, 30% in instalments during construction and 60% on handover. Amenities inside the community include a clubhouse, a gym, a swimming pool, tennis, a play area, jogging trails, parkland and a mosque. Hudayriyat's beaches, Surf Abu Dhabi, 321 Sports and the island's cycling network are nearby.

Who it suits: families who want a large, private villa close to central Abu Dhabi and can wait until about 2028, and buyers at the top of the market looking at the Heights villas. What to weigh: 60% of the price is due at handover, about AED 3.96 million on the entry villa. Modon has not said how many villas remain in each collection, and other Hudayriyat releases have sold out quickly, so ask for the current availability list. Handover dates differ between Modon and Property Finder, and service charges have not been published.

Buying costs

Government fees are paid on top of the purchase price. This is the position for the entry-level home; costs scale with price. In Abu Dhabi the registration authority is the ADREC.

Developers may add their own administration charge on off-plan sales. It is set by the developer, not the land department, so it is not included in this estimate: ask for it in writing before you reserve. Adjust the assumptions in the buying cost calculator.
