Hudayriyat Island.
New freehold villages on a sports-and-leisure island — strong lifestyle and growth, early-stage liquidity
Best for lifestyle and the address and families. Less so if you are buying mainly for a quick resale.

What the market says
What you're really buying
Hudayriyat Island is a large lifestyle and sports-focused island south of central Abu Dhabi, developed by Modon Properties (part of Q Holding). Long known for Surf Abu Dhabi, the Velodrome, beaches and 220km of cycling tracks, it is now opening freehold residential villages — including Nawayef, Al Naseem, Wadeem and Bashayer — with villas, townhouses, plots and apartments. The low-density master plan dedicates most of the island to parks, beaches and open space, and connects to the mainland in minutes.
Early-stage freehold on a government-backed leisure island; the thesis is lifestyle scarcity and completion upside. Villa and plot yields are modest and the resale market is still forming, so plan a longer hold. Entry at AED 2M or above qualifies for the Golden Visa.
Outstanding for active families — beaches, cycling, sports and parks in a low-density setting, with new schools and retail arriving as villages complete, and quick access to the city.
