Description
Hudayriyat Golf Estates is Modon’s most ambitious residential launch to date: the UAE’s first true island golf community, where championship fairways meet the Abu Dhabi coastline. Set on a roughly 95-hectare footprint within the Hudayriyat Island masterplan, the estate is built around an 18-hole golf course designed to PGA standards, with Andalusian-inspired architecture defining every residence and a serene water channel threading through the community, positioned mid-island just two minutes from the beach.
Six collections span the full luxury spectrum: 3 and 4-bedroom Golf Townhomes (from around 204 sqm), 4-bedroom Golf Homes (~372 sqm), 5-bedroom Range Villas (~547 sqm with double-height living and private pools), 6-bedroom Fairway Villas (~910 sqm with direct golf frontage), and the signature 6-bedroom Golf Mansions (~1,150 sqm across basement, ground, first, and penthouse levels, with sea and skyline views). Every villa carries a Pearl 3.0 rating under Abu Dhabi’s Estidama sustainability framework, and the gated neighbourhoods are supported by a country clubhouse, private school, retail, and wellness infrastructure inside the estate.
The island itself is the differentiator. Hudayriyat spans 51 million square metres, comparable in scale to Manhattan, yet is planned for just 30,000 residents, with 53km of coastline, 16km of Blue Flag beaches, Surf Abu Dhabi (the world’s largest artificial wave pool), a UCI Category 1 indoor velodrome, and the 321 Sports Hub already operating. Hudayriyat recorded around AED 11.97 billion in real estate transactions in Q1 2026, the highest of any Abu Dhabi residential destination that quarter. For Australian buyers, golf-front ownership here starts at AED 4.25M, whereas existing Abu Dhabi golf-front communities typically start from AED 12 to 20 million.
An 18-hole championship course designed to PGA standards forms the community’s heart, a product combination (island + golf + beach) that does not exist anywhere else in the UAE.
Golf-front townhomes from AED 4.25M, versus the AED 12 to 20 million typical entry for existing Abu Dhabi golf communities, with a ladder rising to AED 35.55M signature mansions.
Modon is the sovereign-backed master developer of Hudayriyat Island itself, with Surf Abu Dhabi, the velodrome, and Marsana Beach already delivered and operating on the island.
Hudayriyat posted ~AED 11.97B in Q1 2026 transactions, Abu Dhabi’s highest that quarter, with island villa prices reported up around 27% over the same period.
Abu Dhabi registration fee (2%) applies separately, half of Dubai’s 4% DLD. Disclosed service charge cap approx. AED 6.71/sqft, subject to ADREC approval. Off-plan resale permitted from 20% paid, per project guidelines. Prices are indicative launch figures and subject to change.
Golf Estates carries one of the lightest entry structures on the island: just 5% on reservation, followed by seven further instalments of 5% each spread through construction, with the remaining 60% due on handover in Q3 2030. The staged 40/60 plan keeps capital free through the build period while securing launch pricing in a fast-appreciating destination.
Hudayriyat is a 51-million-square-metre island off central Abu Dhabi, comparable in scale to Manhattan yet planned for just 30,000 residents, with 53km of coastline and 16km of Blue Flag beaches. Already operating on the island: Surf Abu Dhabi (the world’s largest artificial wave pool), the Middle East’s first UCI Category 1 indoor velodrome, the 321 Sports Hub, Marsana Beach, and the Bab Al Nojoum eco-resort. Golf Estates sits mid-island, around two minutes from the beach, connected to mainland Abu Dhabi by dedicated bridges, with the city centre roughly 20 minutes away and Zayed International Airport around 30.
Inside the gates, Golf Estates layers a full residential infrastructure around the fairways, while the wider island adds a sports and leisure ecosystem that is already built and operating rather than promised.
The 18-hole course designed to PGA standards is the estate’s organising idea, with every collection positioned around its fairways and the water channel. The country clubhouse anchors daily life with poolside dining, tennis, and resort-style social spaces, completing an island masterplan where the surf pool, velodrome, and beaches are already open. It is a lifestyle combination, championship golf on an island two minutes from a Blue Flag beach, that exists nowhere else in the UAE.
The numbers behind this launch are unusually strong. Hudayriyat recorded around AED 11.97 billion in Q1 2026 transactions, the highest of any Abu Dhabi residential destination that quarter, with island villa prices reported up roughly 27% in the period and Abu Dhabi villas up about 35% over five years per Knight Frank. Golf-front homes in established markets consistently command a premium over comparable non-golf stock, yet Golf Estates enters below existing island pricing and significantly below comparable Dubai golf communities. As the island’s first dedicated golf-front release on a finalised masterplan, structural scarcity supports long-term value, while the 5%-down 40/60 plan, resale permitted from 20% paid, and world-class sports events driving premium short-stay demand round out the case.
Every residence at Hudayriyat Golf Estates is priced above the AED 2 million threshold, making all buyers eligible to apply for the UAE’s renewable 10-year Golden Residency Visa, extending to the investor’s spouse and children. Eligibility in Abu Dhabi is administered by ADREC and immigration authorities and should be confirmed at purchase. Austrabay can guide you through the entire process.
Modon is Abu Dhabi’s sovereign-backed master developer, the company behind the transformation of Hudayriyat Island into a world-class lifestyle, sports, and waterfront destination. Its delivered island landmarks include Surf Abu Dhabi, the velodrome, the 321 Sports Hub, and Marsana Beach, with residential communities spanning Al Naseem, Bashayer, and the Nawayef masterplan on Hudayriyat, plus Reem Hills and other collections on Reem Island.
Beyond the UAE, Modon’s international portfolio includes the large-scale Ras El Hekma development in Egypt and La Zagaleta in Spain. Golf Estates is the developer’s most ambitious residential launch on its flagship island, following record-setting demand for its earlier Hudayriyat releases, and benefits from Modon’s unique position as both project developer and master developer of the island itself.
Modon’s previous Hudayriyat launches have seen record demand, and golf-front positions are structurally limited. Our team is available across Australian and UAE time zones.
