About Hudayriyat Island

Hudayriyat Island is a 3,000-hectare natural island located just off Abu Dhabi's western coast, connected to the mainland via a dedicated bridge. Once a quiet fishing area, it is now being transformed into Abu Dhabi's premier lifestyle and leisure destination with a focus on wellness, outdoor sports, and nature-based living. The island's Hudayriyat Leisure and Entertainment District features Circuit X (a high-adrenaline adventure park), 321 Sports (multi-sport facility), and Marsana — a waterfront dining and entertainment destination. For outdoor enthusiasts, the island offers over 30 km of cycling and running tracks winding through mangrove forests, kayaking routes, paddleboarding, and beach volleyball. The beach at Hudayriyat is one of Abu Dhabi's most beautiful, with turquoise waters and soft sand. Residential development is in its early stages, meaning current buyers benefit from early-mover pricing before the island fully matures. The government-backed Modon Properties is leading the residential masterplan, which includes waterfront apartments, villas, and mixed-use developments. Hudayriyat's positioning as a nature-first, wellness-oriented community makes it unique in Abu Dhabi's property landscape.
