Fahid Island

Fahid Island is a natural island off Abu Dhabi's coast, lying between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island. Aldar Properties acquired it in 2023 and unveiled the master plan in June 2025, with a gross development value of more than Dh40 billion. The plan covers about 2.7 million m² with 11 km of coastline and more than 6,000 homes, ranging from apartments and townhouses to large villas.

Aldar has positioned the island around health and outdoor activity. About 30 per cent of the land is set aside for natural areas, and the plan includes a landscaped berm park of about 10 km with running tracks, three cycling routes linked to Abu Dhabi's wider cycle network, a waterfront promenade and a retail street called Coral Drive. Two hotels and an international school are planned.

The first residential project, Fahid Beach Residences, consists of seven buildings of 65 homes each. Aldar reported more than Dh3.5 billion of sales at launch across Fahid Beach Residences and The Beach House. Core infrastructure, including bridges and schools, is scheduled to be ready for the first residents in the first quarter of 2029.
