June 03, 2025

Aldar on Monday unveiled the masterplan for Abu Dhabi's next iconic island destination, Fahid Island, which has an1km coastline and a gross development value of over Dhs 40 billion.

With 4.6km of pristine beachfront on one side of the island and serene mangrove forests on the other, the island is a wellness sanctuary offering seamless connection to the water.

Every part of the 2.7 million sqm island is no more than a five-minute walk to the water’s edge, creating a vibrant island culture complete with refined coastal residences, curated leisure, and 5-star hospitality. Aldar has also partnered with a leading international institution to introduce an elevated education experience to Fahid Island in line with Abu Dhabi’s vision to become a regional hub for excellence in education. The school will become an integral part of the community, providing a key differentiator for family life on the island.

Stretching between Abu Dhabi’s most desirable lifestyle destination, Yas Island, and its cultural centre, Saadiyat Island, Fahid Island is where entertainment and culture meet wellness. A celebration of contrasts, the island offers a unique mix of city and sand, retail and relaxation, energy and serenity, and all with exceptional connectivity - Yas Island's thrilling theme parks, Saadiyat Island's Cultural District, and Zayed International Airport are all accessible in under 15 minutes.
