Description
Fahid Beach Terraces is Aldar’s flagship beachfront release on Fahid Island, the UAE’s first island community designed entirely around wellbeing. Positioned between Yas Island and Saadiyat Island, the 2.7 million square metre island offers 11 kilometres of natural coastline, 100,000 square metres of sandy beaches, and nearly one million square metres of green open space, with 30% of the island dedicated to nature and wellness.
The development comprises six elegant residential buildings designed by acclaimed architect Koichi Takada, with interiors by M&L. Just 501 homes are offered: 1 to 4-bedroom beachfront apartments with maid’s rooms, 2-bedroom duplexes, and exclusive 5-bedroom penthouses. Every residence flows from indoor to outdoor living, with Italian-branded kitchens, smart home integration, rain showers, intelligent storage, and calm coastal palettes inspired by the golden hues of the beach.
Residents step directly onto a gentle curve of white sand fronted by a car-free boardwalk. The island masterplan will add a boutique shopping avenue, waterfront promenade, marina, landscaped parks, wellness clinics, and a 5-star resort, while Zayed International Airport, Yas Island, and Saadiyat Island are all minutes away. For Australian investors, this is a rare combination: institutional-grade Aldar quality, genuine beachfront scarcity, and the growth trajectory of Abu Dhabi’s most ambitious new island address.
Fahid Island is the first island community in the UAE devoted entirely to health and wellbeing, with LEED, Estidama, and Fitwel ambitions, rehabilitated ecosystems, and 30% of all land dedicated to nature.
The internationally renowned architect blends contemporary building with the natural environment, creating six towers of organic curves, open layouts, natural light, and uninterrupted Arabian Gulf views.
Every resident enjoys direct access to pristine white sand and a car-free beachfront boardwalk. Genuine beachfront supply at this quality level is structurally scarce across the UAE.
Fahid Island sits directly between Abu Dhabi’s two most celebrated leisure islands, minutes from Zayed International Airport, with nearby Yas Island recording around mid 6% rental yields.
2-bedroom duplex layouts also available. Service charge approximately AED 33.78 per sqft. Registration fees apply separately. Prices are indicative and subject to change.
Fahid Beach Terraces uses Aldar’s standard 65/35 structure: 10% on booking, 55% in staged instalments during construction, and 35% on handover in Q4 2029. An alternative 80/20 plan is also available for buyers who prefer to weight payments toward the construction phase. All plans are interest-free.
Fahid Island occupies one of the most strategic positions in Abu Dhabi, directly between Yas Island, home of Ferrari World, Yas Marina Circuit, and Yas Mall, and Saadiyat Island, home of the Louvre Abu Dhabi and the emirate’s cultural district. The island spans 2.7 million square metres with 11 kilometres of natural coastline. Its masterplan will deliver a marina, waterfront promenade, boutique retail avenue, wellness clinics, landscaped parks, and a 5-star resort, transforming Fahid into a complete coastal destination by the end of the decade.
Fahid Beach Terraces is anchored by a wellness-centred clubhouse and a full suite of resort-grade facilities, all steps from the sand. The amenity programme is built around effortless relaxation, family life, and active days by the water.
Every home features Italian-branded kitchens with built-in appliances and intelligent storage, wardrobes with advanced organisation systems, cloakrooms with LED lighting and built-in safes, and bathrooms with rain showers and smart drawers with integrated sockets. The level of interior specification matches the beachfront setting.
The investment case rests on three pillars. First, scarcity: genuine beachfront residences with direct sand access are among the rarest assets in the UAE, and only 501 exist here. Second, location trajectory: Fahid Island sits between Yas and Saadiyat, two of Abu Dhabi’s strongest performing districts, with nearby Yas Island recording around mid 6% rental yields, and the island’s own marina, retail, and resort masterplan still to come. Third, sponsor quality: Aldar is Abu Dhabi’s premier listed developer with a delivery record spanning the emirate’s most iconic destinations, and buyers entered this project at launch-phase pricing from August 2025.
All Fahid Beach Terraces residences are priced above the AED 2 million threshold, making every buyer eligible to apply for the UAE 10-year Golden Residency Visa. This provides long-term residency rights for the investor and their immediate family. Austrabay can guide you through the entire Golden Visa application process alongside your purchase.
Aldar Properties is Abu Dhabi’s leading listed developer and one of the most trusted names in UAE real estate. Founded in 2004 and listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, Aldar is the company behind the emirate’s most iconic destinations, including Yas Island, Saadiyat Island, and Al Raha Beach. Its reputation rests on delivering large-scale, sustainable, community-led masterplans on time and to exceptional standards.
Fahid Island is Aldar’s most ambitious wellness destination to date: an entire island masterplanned around health, nature, and coastal living. Fahid Beach Terraces is its flagship beachfront residential release, designed by Koichi Takada and brought to market in August 2025. For investors, the pairing of Aldar’s institutional strength with first-mover positioning on a brand-new island address is a rare opportunity.
With only 501 beachfront residences on the UAE’s first wellness island, this is a genuinely scarce opportunity. Our team is available across Australian and UAE time zones.
