Hudayriyat Island is one of Abu Dhabi’s most ambitious waterfront master developments, created by Modon to redefine luxury coastal living. Covering more than 51 million square metres, the island combines premium residential communities, world-class sports facilities, pristine beaches, hospitality, retail, education, and entertainment into one integrated destination. The project forms a key part of Abu Dhabi’s long-term urban expansion strategy and is designed to become the emirate’s leading lifestyle, wellness, and leisure destination.
Unlike many waterfront developments that focus solely on luxury residences, Hudayriyat Island is designed around an active lifestyle. Every neighborhood is planned to provide direct access to parks, cycling routes, beaches, marinas, wellness facilities, and open public spaces, creating a balanced environment for families, professionals, and investors.
