Leading developer Aldar has officially announced the launch of Fahid Island, a flagship development worth AED 40 billion ($10.9 billion). Strategically located between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, this prime project will bring over 6,000 residential units to one of Abu Dhabi’s most prestigious waterfront zones — from stylish apartments and townhouses to ultra-luxury beachfront villas.

A Visionary Island: Nature, Luxury, and Design

Covering 2.7 million square meters with 11 km of shoreline (including 4.6 km of sandy beaches and protected mangrove forests), Fahid Island sets a new benchmark for luxury coastal living.

Every residence is designed to be within 5 minutes’ walk from the water — an unmatched lifestyle promise.

Infrastructure Highlights:

  1. 30% green spaces: landscaped parks, gardens, and shaded walkways

  2. 10 km fitness corridor: jogging paths and cycling routes

  3. 2 km waterfront promenade with cafes, art spaces, and boutiques

  4. Coral Drive District: a cultural and commercial hub with a ballet school, designer stores, and street art

  5. Beachside activities: paddleboarding, beach volleyball, and nighttime swimming

A Model of Sustainability and Wellness

Fahid Island has already earned global recognition for its eco-conscious design:

  1. First island in the world to achieve Fitwel certification
  2. Targeting LEED Platinum and Estidama 3 Pearl ratings
  3. Walkability-first planning with shaded pedestrian bridges and minimal car use

The master plan is focused on comfort, environmental sustainability, and healthy living.

First Release: Fahid Beach Residences

The initial phase of the island will feature seven boutique buildings, each with 65 high-end luxury residences, offering premium waterfront living with privacy and modern design.

According to Aldar’s CEO, demand for premium real estate in Abu Dhabi is accelerating — both from local residents and international investors. Fahid Island is poised to become a magnet for capital with strong long-term price growth potential.
