Highlights:

• Direct beach access with 11 km of coastline
• Government-backed tier 1 developer focussed on wellness infrastructure
• World-class amenities from gymnasiums and beach clubs to children's facilities
• Strategic location balances privacy with connectivity to major destinations

Residents have direct beach access across 11 kilometres of coastline, with no point on the island more than a few minutes' walk from the water, supporting continued demand for waterfront living. Mangrove shores on two sides provide natural air purification and coastal protection, while homes are designed with open layouts and unobstructed sea views, reinforcing the development’s premium coastal positioning.

The island's wellness facilities includes salt rooms, spa spaces, fitness studios, and infinity pools — increasing day-to-day liveability and supporting premium pricing. Natural mangrove forests and a 10km running and cycling loop connect residents to Abu Dhabi's, enhancing everyday convenience and lifestyle appeal.

Other amenities include a waterfront gymnasium, The Palmerie racquet club, private dining lounges, cinema rooms, co-working spaces, the Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa, and children's facilities — creating a self-contained offering that attracts a broad resident and tenant base.

Fahid Island sits 5 minutes from Yas Island, 15 minutes from the airport, and 50 minutes from Dubai, supporting strong access for residents and visitors alike. The site also benefits from being the closest residential development to the upcoming Abu Dhabi Disneyland, while maintaining an island setting that protects the residential character.

Highlights:

• World-class masterplan backed by globally recognised firms
• Landmark architecture by Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada, driving premium valuations
• Highest sustainability credentials, future-proofing asset value and broadening buyer appeal
• Unobstructed ocean views and direct beach access commanding top-tier pricing

The masterplan was developed by Broadway Malyan and Mott MacDonald, two of the world's most respected practices providing investors with confidence that vision, planning, and execution are aligned from day one. Their experienced involvement throughout, from concept through to approvals and implementation, significantly reduces delivery risk and timeline uncertainty.

The development holds LEED Platinum pre-certification and an Estidama 3 Pearl rating, Abu Dhabi's most stringent sustainability standard. These credentials are increasingly non-negotiable for institutional buyers and those who are ESG-conscious, protecting long-term asset value and widening the pool of prospective purchasers at exit to those that value sustainable buildings.

Phase 1 residential architecture is led by Kengo Kuma and Koichi Takada, globally celebrated names whose nature-influenced design philosophy translates directly into desirability and price premiums. Kuma's signature tower functions as a genuine landmark, the kind of icon that anchors a destination and sustains demand, while Takada's Fahid Beach Terraces offers a distinctive, lifestyle-led product difficult to replicate elsewhere.

Floor-to-ceiling ocean-facing windows, direct beach access, and podium gardens are tangible differentiators that justify premium pricing and support strong yields.

Highlights:

• Coral Drive: a 2km lifestyle boulevard with dining, shopping, and entertainment
• Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa is a premium amenity adding to overall appeal
• King's College School Wimbledon confirmed on-island
• Comprehensive education provision from nursery to secondary,

Coral Drive is a waterfront promenade of retail, dining, and entertainment at the heart of the island, turning the development into an attractive destination. This will mean increased footfall, on-doorstep amenities, and a lifestyle offer that helps with occupancy and rental premiums short and long-term.

The Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa is a branded beach resort with dining, water sports, and night swimming and helps position Fahid Island in the premium segment. It appeals to HNW individuals, as well as short-term renters that drive top-end yields.

Perhaps the single most compelling aspect for family buyers is the confirmed presence of King's College School Wimbledon. With over 90% of students securing places at their first-choice universities, this makes Fahid Island a a magnet for globally mobile, high-income families that prioritise their children's education when selecting a home.

Nearby SABIS, Raha International School, and GEMS American Academy Abu Dhabi are within easy reach, alongside further international schools planned on the development. With on-site preschool and nursery provision, the development can support children at all levels of education, which for investors, translates into a stable, long-term tenant base, reduced vacancy risk, and sustained capital appreciation driven by family demand.

Highlights:

• 35% green space — a scarcity premium in any urban market, let alone Abu Dhabi
• 11km of coastline and 4.6km of beach
• Every home within a 5-minute walk of water - a tangible differentiator

With over 940,000 sqm of green space, the development offers something genuinely scarce and unique among many markets. Parks, trails, mangroves, and gardens are the environmental infrastructure that underpins LEED Platinum and Estidama 3 Pearl certification, delivers a 13% emissions reduction against standard developments, and increasingly drives purchase decisions among the globally mobile buyers this market targets.

The unique location creates a lifestyle offer that simply cannot be replicated on mainland sites. Along with educational opportunities, convenience, and wellness, will be sure to sustain broad demand, protect values across the development, and gives investors confidence.

Buying off-plan in Abu Dhabi is generally considered low-risk, particularly when purchasing through an established developer like Aldar. The UAE's regulatory framework provides strong buyer protections: the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) oversees all developments, and mandatory escrow accounts ring-fence payments throughout the build process. Off-plan purchases typically offer lower entry prices, staged payment plans, and capital growth potential as the development approaches completion. They are best suited to patient investors rather than those seeking short-term returns.

The UAE Golden Visa applies to many properties at this price point, adding a residency dimension that is increasingly attractive to international buyers.

For investors navigating foreign legal systems and payment structures, working with an experienced intermediary makes a practical difference. Source Investments has ten years of experience placing UK buyers into international property, providing due diligence, legal and financial coordination, and support through to completion and beyond.
