Hudayriyat Island
Abu Dhabi's leisure island - beaches and sports minutes from the corniche, now with homes.
Hudayriyat Island sits just off Abu Dhabi's corniche, connected by bridge, and has spent recent years becoming the capital's leisure and sports destination - beaches, a bike park, a skate park, a wave pool and running tracks.
Modon is now delivering residential there: beachfront apartments and villas in phased communities such as Nawayef and Naseem. It suits Abu Dhabi buyers who want a beach lifestyle minutes from the city centre, and Dubai-based investors looking at the capital's lower price base.
As with any new island community, most stock is off-plan and the amenities are ahead of the housing - though here the leisure infrastructure is already open and busy.

Is Hudayriyat in Dubai?
No - it is in Abu Dhabi, roughly a 90-minute drive from Dubai, connected to the capital by bridge.
What is there to do?
It is Abu Dhabi's main outdoor destination - beaches, cycling, a skate park, a wave pool and events venues.
Is it a good investment?
Early-stage, so higher risk and reward. The leisure infrastructure is real and already busy, which underpins rental demand.
