Hudayriyat Island (often spelled Al Hudayriyat) is an ambitious mixed-use development located off the coast of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is being positioned as a significant new lifestyle, sports, and leisure destination, combining high-end residential communities with significant recreational infrastructure and coastline. These are the reasons foreigners want to buy property in Dubai. According to the project developer, the master plan covers more than 51 million square meters and will add around 53.5 km of coastline, including some 16 km of beaches.
The Hudayriyat Island masterplan, created by Magon Properties, is a massive integrated community that will incorporate residential, leisure, eco-tourism, and sports components.
The development is more than 51 million square meters (larger than half the landmass of Abu Dhabi Island), with 53.5 kilometers of new coastline, 16 kilometers of which are uninterrupted, pristine beaches. The island will also feature two hilltop communities, at about 45 and 50 meters above sea level, offering breathtaking views of the waterfront and the city skyline. There will be a 220-km network of special cycling roads that will unite communities and recreational parks to enhance healthy, sustainable living —a perfect option for those looking to buy property in Abu Dhabi.

While specific supermarket brand names within the island are not yet widely listed, given the scale of the masterplan, the community is expected to include convenience stores and a full-fledged supermarket chain in the retail precincts.
There are mosques located on Hudayriyat Island itself, including the Abu Dhabi Mosque. The island also has other mosques and prayer areas, but they are on the island itself.
Several Hudayriyat Island schools are situated nearby and in adjacent areas of Abu Dhabi. These include prominent international and British schools like Cranleigh Abu Dhabi, Brighton College Abu Dhabi, and The British International School Abu Dhabi, which are relatively close to Hudayriyat.
The nearest and most accessible hospitals in Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi, include Emirates Hospital Day Surgery, Al Khalidiyah, and several major hospitals on nearby Al Maryah Island and Reem Island.
Marsana, a waterfront shopping and dining mall with boutiques, an outlet market, and various restaurants, is the primary shopping venue on Hudayriyat Island. Although Marsana is not a typical large-scale mall, it does offer shopping on the island, and to reach the bigger, standard malls, shoppers would have to travel to other areas of Abu Dhabi.
The beachfront, boulevard, and eco-tourism will offer dining choices, which will include high-end beach clubs, relaxed cafes, family restaurants, and resort-themed dining as part of the construction.
Hudayriyat Island beaches include Marsana Beach, considered the main beach, a sandy waterfront facility with local amenities such as a splash park, a skate park, and restaurants. Other beaches close to the island include the public Al Bateen Beach and the famous Corniche Beach, which are within a short commuting distance to the island.
Hudayriyat Island represents a premium, forward-looking investment in Abu Dhabi’s real-estate landscape. With its prime location, high-end residential product, freehold ownership, strong leisure and sports infrastructure, and expected healthy ROI (7–8% for villas), it offers a compelling proposition.
