The Beverly Hills
of Abu Dhabi

Yes. Hudayriyat Island is a designated freehold zone open to all nationalities. You receive full ownership rights with a UAE title deed registered with Abu Dhabi's Department of Municipalities and Transport. Properties priced above AED 2 million qualify for the UAE Golden Visa (10-year renewable residency).

Abu Dhabi's property transfer fee is 2% of the purchase price — exactly half of Dubai's 4%. This reduces your entry cost and improves net investment returns on any resale.

Hudayriyat Island offers: apartments (1–4BR, from AED 2M); villas (3–8BR, from AED 6M); golf villas and townhouses (from AED 4.25M); luxury mansions (from AED 25M); ultra-luxury hilltop mansions (AED 41M+). All are developed by government-backed Modon Properties.

Coastal Abu Dhabi properties typically generate 7–9% gross rental yields. Early buyers on Hudayriyat Island have recorded 40–50% capital appreciation since the island's launch in 2020. Q1 2026 saw AED 11.97B in island transactions — the highest of any area in Abu Dhabi.

10–20 minutes by car via Hudayriyat Bridge. The island sits on Abu Dhabi's western coast opposite Al Bateen. Abu Dhabi International Airport is approximately 25–30 minutes away. A dedicated Surf Abu Dhabi metro/bus link is planned as part of the Abu Dhabi Urban Mobility Master Plan.

Hudayriyat Island offers a lower entry cost to high-quality freehold than comparable Dubai waterfront communities, with a 2% transfer fee vs Dubai's 4%, higher gross yields (7–9% vs Dubai's 5.5–7%), and 40–50% documented capital appreciation for early buyers. The government-backed developer and sovereign-backed land title remove delivery risk entirely.
